    She was wondering if you know a700Hitter.

    The Orioles did something today that we can't do. They beat Texas. Chen went78 2/3 innings and gave up only 2 runs throwing only 102 pitches. We don't have any pitcher that can do that against the Royals never mind against the Rangers.

    Can they do anything right anymore?

    I don't think we will see any trade, unless it is a waiver wire trade.

    It was one of the bad changes made at Fenway-- having the standings on the manual scoreboard. On Saturday, it gave me a sinking feeling to see the Sox at the bottom.

    I thought that by this point you knew that I am crazy. If Fred was here ranting, it would save me the trouble. I am really getting disgusted. When does this team actually hit bottom? The Yankee game turned out not to be the bottom. We got a momentary bounce from that game, but now we are skimming the bottom again and finding new ways to sink to lower depths. Fred, I am dying to read your first post when you come back. It should be a doozie.

    I blame upper management. Bobby V probably regrets taking the job. Maybe he will fake a heart attack to get out of this mess.

    But we have Daniel Nava.

    Kill Doji instead.

    Where the hell is Fred when I really need to read one of his rants?

    Nava can make some contact, and he might actually get some hits if he is in a hot streak, but he is not a solution until Ellsbury and Crawford return. Benny the Boob had other low cost options that were much better than this bush leaguer.

    Abreu is doing pretty damn good hitting in the middle of the lineup for the first place Dodger's, but let's go with Nava. This guy Cherrington is a real dimwit. He doesn't think ahead a single bit. He's clueless.

    They needed a left handed hitting OFer, so they opted for Nava instead of Bobby Abreu. Both would cost the league minimum. Mind boggling. Simply mind boggling.

    He was getting batters out. They didn't expect that. He had to go.
  21. a700hitter
    Daniel Nava? The season is over for us. This guy has a great story and one unbelievable memory for the rest of his life, but he is not a major league ballplayer. At the end of 2010, I posted here that he would never wear a Red Sox uniform again except maybe for a September cup of coffee and that if we saw him in a role other than that, it would be because we were in deep do-do. Well, we are certainly in deep do-do. This is the proof. Hopefully, he is hot and he gets a few hits. He is a train wreck in the OF so he will fit right in.

    Does anyone know what he was doing to earn a paycheck from the Sox? He wasn't invited to Spring Training. Did he go train or play someplace or did he just sit at home and cash the checks?
  23. a700hitter
    I wish his numbers would be somewhere else-- another city and team. I don't want to hear it about this guy. Spare me the tale of his tape. Slow footed first basemen who hit 25 HRs a year are a dime a dozen, not worth $22 million/yr. Plus, we had to give up prospects to get him. What a steal!! No one is talking any more about him leading the league in HRs or hitting 50, because of the Monster. No, we won't even see 30. I don't give a rats ass what his OPS is at the end if he ends up with only 25 dingers. When Ortiz was in his prime, he was putting that up by the All Star break. That kind of money should have been spent on a higher premium position than first base, and if I were going to spend that kind of money on a first baseman, I'd rather have paid it to Prince Fielder.

    I agree that he will not become a reliable starter in 5 weeks. However, on a staff that everyone knew (including the FO -my assumption) was very thin, you don't have the luxury of training a reliever to become a starter. The Bard conversion would not be a problem on a staff with 4 reliable starters who eat innings and a deep reliable bullpen. We have neither of those elements, so there was no luxury to convert him to starting on the big club. He should be learning his craft in the minors.
