Let's not forget that the Sox are second in payroll and first in ticket prices over the last three years. Being third in wins doesn't seem like good value for the price.
-
But I doubt you will sig it if they lose 3 to the Yankees this week and the Boston papers are screaming for blood.
-
Sig it now and take a risk. Don't use 20-20 hindsight and sig it afterward if the Sox pull a rabbit out of the hat in the final 6 games and get hot for the playoffs. If you think it is such a solid position, you should sig it now.

The fact is that wins matter and his winning percentage is outstanding. Kennedy will finish in the top two in the voting.

The Yanks will come at the Sox with everything this weekend in an attempt to knock us out of the Post Season. They don't want to be in a position where they will damage the integrity of the Sport by dumping games to Tampa in the final series. Thhis weekend series will be a rain-soaked Yankees-Red Sox war.

But statistical metrics indicate that we are crazy. LOL!

Obviously every game from here on out is critical, but realistically tonight is bigger than Saturday or Sunday. We need to win at least 2 of 3 this weekend. Lester is our ace. He has to give us a win, because winning both Saturday and Sunday with Wakefield and TBA pitching is a huge longshot.

In the results of the "Who's to Blame" poll on Boston.com, Theo finished 2nd only to Lackey. Tito was a distant third.

Tomorrow is supposed to be a rainy day and night. I hope that it isn't a factor with rain delays.

Doesn't Scutaro come off the books after this season. Isn't he $8 million?
-
Boy, you are having a hell of a good time stirring the pot.

Youk needs to lose 25 lbs.

Have the Yankees posted their line up for tonight?

It sounds like he'll be a big help against Tampa in the final series.

Can anyone here read a calendar?

Hopefully, the offseason doesn't start next Wednesday.

I don't think the organization has improved itself at any level over the last three years. I think it has somewhat deteriorated. There really is little if any in the way of major league talent in the farm system. Those that are ready are far from stars or top players at their positions. On the major league roster, in the past offseason, they spent a load of money essentially replacing VMart and Beltre with AGon and Crawford. In the end that swap probably added very little offensively (AGon's awesomeness has been neutralized by Crawford's suckiness), and defensively we got weaker at 3B. Youk's recent serious injury issues have also been a huge factor in the team's failure during the last 2 years. He has an nonathletic body, so maybe he is breaking down earlier than other players. I think it is time for a change of direction in the FO. The organization has been going in the wrong direction over the last 3 seasons. There will be life after Theo. E1, don't be worried that Theo will take your social workers job. He doesn't have your experience.

Aviles' glove is too shaky. Scutaro can play all 3 positions very competently. You can't expect guys who don't get a lot of PT to always hit, but they must not hurt you with the glove. That's my philosophy on utility guys. Offense is gravy from those guys, but the need to make the plays. Edit: If the Yanks win it all, I don't see them buying a big ticket pitcher. I think they will let it ride with CC, Nova, Burnett, Hughes and the killer Bees.
