  1. I'll root for the Yankees to sweep all 7 games, but I'll also hope that their team plan crashes into Yankee Stadium.
  2. Johnson is warming. We have had a lot of trouble with him.
  3. When he doesn't have a very deep lineup surrounding him, he struggles very badly. He will probably finish under .240, but let's lobby for some MVP votes for him.
  4. Outmanaged by Buck right there.
  5. It's about time for Lavarnway's 1st.
  6. The season started going too fast for Tito when September came.
  7. ^This is getting obnoxious.
  8. Nice comeback by Aceves getting out of that jam!! Now score!!!
  9. I've posted it over and over this season. When Pedroia hits, we win. We need him now and for the rest of the week.
  10. How do you get Ellsbury by that much on a P?
  11. Can this team dig deep and pull out a victory in this game?
  12. That would have been another run and Ortiz in scoring position.
  13. How could that ball be foul? There is no foul territory past that pole!!! For Chrissakes!! Can't the umps get it right!
  14. Yes, they couldn't expect this kid to do what he has never done before. He has been a reliever for most of is life. The most they could have expected was for him to go through the order once.
  15. You don't know what you are talking about. The Red Sox have never collapsed like this in September. It never happened. This will be a first if it happens.
  16. These are desperate times. He couldn't go 3 innings? I would have started him and hoped for 3-4 innings. When he got gassed, I'd have gone to the pen for Weiland and Co. and they'd all have been on a short leash.
  17. If the Sox don't turn this around fast, this will get really ugly in the final week. If you think it is distressing now, it will become excruciating as the end approaches.
  18. Weiland has not yet had a successful major league start. In the past, Dubront has had some successful starts. Why would they have elected to go with Weiland today?
  19. I said this two weeks ago. Unless the Sox took matters into their own hands and buried the Rays, the Sox were set up perfectly to be burned by the Yankees. They play all their guys against the Sox and lay down for the Rays. At the time, most people disagreed with me.
  20. It's not a "heart" problem. They are rolling out garbage and kids up and down the lineup. Yesterday, they had two hacks in the OF-- D Mac and Conor Jackson and another hack at third base-- Aviles. These guys are not good defenders. They helped give away yesterday's game. Except on rare occasions, our starters blow us out of games early. It's hard for the crowd to have any life when the starter puts you in such a hole, and there is no energy for the team to feed on. It's a cycle of collapse and despair. This is what it looks like. I saw this at Shea Stadium in 2007, 2008. The Sox are circling the drain. Willie Randolph would say things like Francona is saying, i.e. "this will make us stronger." Willie also said that it would make the champagne taste sweeter. As this progresses, Tito will make similar remarks and it will be very annoying as the fans come to the realization that the team is just circling the drain.
  21. How did he not catch either one? Now the Orioles are tagging the kid. He's a baby. He should not be put in these situations. It's not his fault. The kid was a closer in college.
