    Amen

    Ortiz is injured now? While he is out, Pedroia and Gonzo will not see any pitches.

    It's like a parade of pigs from the bullpen.

    Buch was toast after the last hit. It was pretty obvious.
  5. a700hitter
    Bobby wanted to give Buch the chance to put the pen in position to blow the game.
  6. a700hitter
    I think Buchholz is done.

    He just woke up and realized that he missed out on Abreu and he made a panic move for Podsednik. There's no comparison.
  8. a700hitter
    He'd replace MCDime.
  9. a700hitter
    Yes, it did. The Mets were the far superior team. They should've run us off the field. I need to edit my prior post to include the third World Series.

    At a lower premium position and with even less speed than Boggs.

    AGon hit 27 Hrs last year-- that's not exactly worht $22 million for a slow-footed first baseman.
  12. a700hitter
    Oh boy, we get to see Punto with his .138 batting average, and career scrub Nava is batting 6th in a power slot. He does have 1 career HR. It was a grand Salami.

    Wow!

    Doji is right. We are over reacting to Beckett. He's an infuriating jackass, but he is not going anywhere. He is just emblematic of the spoiled entitled prima donas that dominate the sporting world. They pretty much all think the way he does. The environment and culture breeds this sense of entitlement. The system that produces professional athletes makes them this way. Beckett is mote arrogant and dense than most, so he will not back off his beliefs even when cornered and completely wrong. Make no mistake about it, they are all like him. He just refuses to put on the public face-- which is nothing more than a trained skill. I can respect that about the jerk. He's not a phony. There's no phony in that man. For better or worse, we are stuck with him. Hopefully, he will pitch to his potential and soon. That's the best we can hope for.

    ^ this is a GM who is doing his job. Our guy, the Boob (I am dropping the Benny part), sits there and tells us that things will come around and fall into place and that he is happy with our pitching staff, etc. He was unaware when Sergio Santos was available. He couldn't lock down Mike Gonzalez who went to the Nats. Reports are that he talked to Boras about Gonzalez, but Gonzalez preferred the Nats. Good job, boob. He also let a free Bobby Abreu slip through his fingers and instead brought up Daniel Nava. I would take back Dan Duquette in a heart beat. This guy is a jackass.

    Sabathia is a true ace, year in and year out. It is a very stabilizing force to have a guy like that. Yankee fans can go f*** themselves.
  18. a700hitter
    It would really be nice to have a stopper - a true ace- like a halladay, Cain, Verland or Sabathia. It would be nice to have a lot of confidence once every 5 days.

    This would be really funny if it wasn't so true.

    Some of us here who thought we were being realistic about the team's prospects were derisively called pessimists. I'm not aiming this at anyone as an I told you so. I understand optimistic sentiments before a season starts. I have been there many times. Also, I'm not engaging in any back patting. I couldn't engage in back-patting even if wanted to do so. Despite my disagreement with the off season moves, I always felt that this was a talented squad that would be competitive for most of the season. I did fear that it was likely the team's pitching would get stressed to the breaking point and eventually break as the season wore on. I never envisioned such ineptitude and dullness from the very start. None of the so-called pessimists here were pessimistic enough. This is complete failure.
  22. a700hitter
    It is quite a statement of failure that this team has someone like you at that point by May 10th. You were brimming with enthusiasm only a few weeks ago.
  23. a700hitter
    Did you ask him about Beckett?
  24. a700hitter
    Some people only get 18 off days in a whole year of work.
  25. a700hitter
    They only get 18 off days a year. Someone needs to remind this jerk that he only has 35 scheduled work days a year, and he never makes all of his starts.
