  1. Now the game is blacked out, because of Fox? You've got to be kidding! Fox is just playing weather.
  2. The players should have agreed to play a DH on Friday. They screwed themselves,
  3. The Yanks and Sox were bidding against each other, but the Twins got greedy. The Yankees pulled their offers off the table. Once the Yanks pulled out, the Twins came to the Sox and wanted Lester and Ellsbury. The Sox pulled both offers after the Yanks were out.
  4. I think at one point the Yankees had Kennedy and Hughes on the table.
  5. Good or bad trade... it sure looks like a good trade, because Santana fell to injury, but who knows whether Santana would have helped them to back to back titles. There is no definitive right answer, but if it makes you feel better about things to take the definitive stance that it was the right non-move so be it. I will not argue it with you. They make some good moves and some bad. They have the resources that they can overcome some poor decisions and still field very competitive teams. I hope that Lester and Ells bring us several championships starting with this season, and the non-move definitively becomes the right move. As far as parting with parts of their foundation, Masterson is having a pretty good season in Cleveland.
  6. They'll be lucky if they get game 1 in.
  7. The Sox were going to have a pretty good team whether or not they got Santana. One bad trade or injury is not going to change the course of this franchise. They have had their share of bad acquisitions and injuries and continued to prosper. The only reason for doing the Santana trade would have been to win a World Series, not to be a good team. We'll never know if the Sox would have won a World Series with Sanatana, and we haven't won a World Series since Santana was traded. Hopefully, that will change this October.
  8. Varitek clobbered that HR!!! 3-1 Boston.
  9. Has there been a Jenks sighting recently?
  10. Welcome to TalkSox.
  11. I am not asserting that they have time to figure it out, nor I am I in agreement that if he continues to perform at this level that they will not sign him long term. Quite the contrary. I think he is a star and that this is his breakout season. Further, I think they will sign him when he is eligible for Free Agency. They do have one more year of arbitration before they have to commit long term money to him. I would use the safety net of arbitration, because I am averse to long term deals. That being said, I think Ellsbury is a star, and I would never trade an every day star player for any pitcher.
  12. His ERA for the last 2 years is about a full run higher than his very average career 4.40's ERA. It is time to get him off the mound. Two years of complete futility at age 44 is really the handwriting on the wall.
  13. Rosenthal is never right. He is a complete zero when it comes to accuracy of information.
  14. 7 runs are not enough in a Wakefield start against the A's. Pathetic. Please DL this f***ing guy and get him out of the rotation. He just doesn't have it anymore.
  15. Before this season it ws known that he had great ability. This season he proved that he can execute consistently at a very high level. Can he be consistent from year to year? The Sox have an arbitration year to find out.
  16. Bump for Taliesin.
  17. Aviles played that like a hand grenade.
  18. Albers needs about 7-10 off so his arm can recover.
  19. Yanks DH tomorrow has been canceled and rescheduled for Sunday. I wonder how that would affect their rotation.
  20. There is no way that Atchinson is 35 years old. Great move putting a utility IF in LF. One more step and he catches that ball. It hit at the bottom of the wall.
  21. I am sick of NESN and Boston Globe people stealing our ideas.
