    Great game by Lester!!!

    I agree. When they are cruising send them out for another inning.

    I could see the Blanton move. That would make sense for both teams. Blanton is a serviceable starter most of the time. He's also Daniel Nava's favorite pitcher.

    I'm happy for the kid. Another nice memory for him to look back on as he is pumping gas in a couple of years.

    I never said he was a slug. He obviously tries very hard. He's a bush leaguer. I should keep bashing him. It's working well. The kid is making the most of his shot. It would be funny if he sticks for the season, but Middlebrooks gets sent down.

    I'm not seeing that. Texas infield is stacked.

    Desmond for Salty would be a steal. I don't think they'll go for it.

    I don't remember anyone complaining about the offense, just the pitching.

    Arguably, Bard has been the team's best starter to this point. I don't know what kind of bullpen guy we could get from the Nats. They have injuries in their pen. Their closer Storen is out. The Nats have really been hit by the injury bug. In addition to Ramos and Storen, Werth and Morse are also on the DL. Unlike the Red Sox, they are not wallowing in last place and they are looking to make moves to address their needs. Proof that injuries are not an excuse.

    I am hoping that Bobby V and his coaches are giving him a crash course in playing the OF so we can continue to see him in the lineup when Youks comes back. They can move hi$m back to 3rd if Youk continues to crap out or get injured.

    Have we met? I don't know whether people should thank me, but I am trying to prepare people for the disappointment when Youks is back. SFF is very enthusiastic about this, and he is right about the issue. However, we are all about to find out that the FO isnot packed full of smart people. Money will not be an excuse this time. They have to pay Youk one way or another, unless some team takes part of his salary. The FO isn't very smart and they are gutless too-- about the same as most sports franchises.

    Yes, Middlebrooks has been red hot in his 10 games, but it is only 10 games. This blurb puts it in perspective: Davis had a nice career, but these guys were not super stars. It's 10 games. It means nothing.
  17. a700hitter
    It's only 10 games and Cherries doesn't have the guts to bench or release an $11 million player. It's as simple as that. You guys are going to go crazy when this goes down. Expect nothing from the FO, and you will never be disappointed. Look, it was as clear as the nose on your face that this team need to acquire some pitching in the off season. They didn't. People made excuses about how our pitching would be fine because we no longer had Lackey and Wakefield. Up to this juncture, our team pitching is worse than last year. I'm not interested in any excuses. The FO very often doesn't do what is clearly needed, so don't expect them to do the right thing in the WMB situation.

    I don't know what happened to Lester. Game after game he cannot seem to work the strike zone. What concerns me is that after one of the games where he had a very high pitch count, he said that he thought he was throwing all strikes.
  21. a700hitter
    I think this is the course they will take. They will let Youkilis play himself out of the lineup or get injured again.
  22. a700hitter
    As of Thursday, Palodios will be eliminated. Next up is Divinty.
  23. a700hitter
    Why are you arguing with me. I'm not the one giving Youk back his job. That's just the way it is going to be unless he hits a snag in his rehab. Barring an additional physical setback or punching someone in the clubhouse, Youk gets his job back. I am already on the line to buy you beer if Dice K is back in the rotation. How about you buy me a beer if Youk's doesn't get back his starting job barring an additional physical setback or punching someone in the face?

    Teams cannot be run on sentiment. Nava is a sentimental favorite, but he falls way short of what is required to be a major league OFer. He has had a couple of cups of coffee in the majors and one incredible memory.
