    The major difference is that after 2006 the Red Sox had Pedroia on the way together with Lester and Ellsbury. Lester admittedly didn't do much in 2007, but he was mid-season depth. I n 2008, all three were productive full time major leaguers. I don't see that influx of talent coming to the Sox in 2012.

    I think you are underweighting the importance of the FA failures. In addition to the money that has been squandered on past FA busts, he has the team locked into a couple of big contracts that the team will have to live for years going forward-- Lackey and Crawford. Also, I would include as a con that here is little ML ready star quality players in our Minor League system. It is very thin talent-wise.

    Sometimes I think E1 would rather cut off a limb than to criticize Theo. I don't think he is being very objective about it, and his suggestion in his post is sort of like if you don't like it find another team, but I know you won't, so live with it. I don't get it. We are assessing and analyzing the record of the GM and discussing whether the team is better with him or without him. I think we are being very objective. Theo's record - not just wins and losses- has not been great on a number of fronts over the last 3 years, and I can't think of 1 aspect where his performance has been excellent. With regard to this season, most people think Theo is significantly responsible for this collapse.

    Hopefully, Youk's body is not braking down.

    The fact that Tampa has so much more pitching talent with a much smaller payroll than the Sox is an indictment of your boy.

    If we got Bedard for free, it was a mistake.

    If the Cards hold off Houston (9-6 in the 7th), they will be going into the final game in a dead heat with the Braves.

    Lester has to go deep tomorrow. He needs to attack the zone and keep his pitch count down. Simon should not give the lineup too much trouble, but who the hell knows anymore.

    Vlad, still a thorn.
  21. a700hitter
    Two more outs Papelbon. This old man Vlad has been a thorn in our side for two seasons.

    Well, hello to you too.
  23. a700hitter
    Come on Papelbon, three outs.

    Hardy has had a really good year.

    Deadbeat Dad Bedard was a terrible pickup. The guy throws 90 pitches and can't get through the 4th inning. He got us a big 1 win and couldn't take his regular turn. Lowrie was a great choice for cleanup.:thumbdown Lavarnway's bat should get him the starting catching spot. Unless catches with his back facing the pitche, how much worse defensively could he be than Salty? The triple play turned by Tampa with the bases juiced cost us big time.
