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.

You social workers stick together. I think the starter they should target is CJ Wilson. I wouldn't trade Ellsbury unless they suspect that they will not be able to sign him. There's a lot of work to be done. The bullpen is a shambles except Bard and Paps. Scutaro should stay in a utility role, but we need a starting SS.

They played very poorly at the end. Torre had burned out a lot of his bullpen as usual. However, my recollection is that they were not also injured. The 2011 Sox are playing terribly and they have no one to run out to the mound who doesn't stink, and Youk, our cleanup hitter, is down.

I think Ortiz might go unless he would take a contract that would be a good value. He has not been the problem at all this year. We have sucked when he has been out of the lineup. He has had 2 very good years in a row. This was not a rebound year. I think igf you start loading up the roster with Lavarnway (no position), Kalish and who is etc.? There's not much major league ready talent in the organization, so we can't really go young within the organization. Here's the core that I would keep: Beckett Lester Buchholz Pedroia AGon Ellsbury Papelbon Bard Possibly Ortiz for 1 year I would keep Papelbon, because he is still elite as a closer, and I like him and Bard at the end of games. When Papelbon leaves, we will all be lamenting his absence. He has really spoiled us. He's had one off year, and even that wasn't terrible. Everyone else can go-- including the manager, coaches and GM.
