  1. It was a completely pointless move. He fields poorly at 3 IF positions and they decide to try him in the OF too. I don't get that thinking at all. Plus, he sucks with the bat. Backups from KC are never a good idea.
  2. In the 1st inning Beckett looked like he had been hitting the Lite Beer last night.
  3. Like I said, Aviles is useless. What was Theo thinking. Navarro as raw as he is is a better player than Aviles.
  4. Aviles is pretty close to useless.
  5. 5-0 Should have gone out tonight.
  6. Could be an early shower for Beckett.
  7. No one said to let him name his own price. The market will dictate what he gets.
  8. Maybe not 100%, but very very consistent.
  9. Whatever the market is, unless it is completely crazy, he should be signed by Boston.
  10. Probably back spasms. It happens to him once every season. It usually takes 2 or 3 games to go away.
  11. Here are the lineups: RED SOX (73-44) Ellsbury CF Crawford LF Gonzalez 1B Pedroia 2B Ortiz DH Reddick RF Aviles 3B Varitek C Scutaro SS Pitching: RHP Josh Beckett (9-4, 2.17) MARINERS (50-67) Ichiro RF Gutierrez CF Ackley 2B Carp 1B Pena DH Wells LF Bard C Rodriguez 3B Wilson SS Pitching: RHP Felix Hernandez (10-10, 3.31) Game time: 10:10 p.m. TV/Radio: NESN / WEEI
  12. They can probably win 98-100 if they stick to light beer.
  13. He's not just an elite closer. He's the best in Red Sox history. I remember teams that lost pennants because they lost 30+ games after the 7th inning (1976). This guy has spoiled the fans. He blows 5 or 6 games in one year and everyone loses their minds. The fact is that the Sox record in games when they are ahead going into th 8th this season is phenomenal. Bard and Papelbon are an incredible tandem-- a potent weapon. If we lose one of them, Tito would have to manage the 8th and 9th innings. That can't have a good outcome. Papelbon saves 30+ games every year, and for context, he got to 200 saves faster than anyone, including the great Mariano. He's only 30, and he's got lots of years left int he tank. By all means, let him walk. f*** him. Maybe he will go to the Yanks and close for them. If Red Sox management would be stupid enough to let that happen, ....well, I don't even want to think about it.
  14. Have you seen the filmed concert where Springsteen, Jackson Browne, Elvis Costello and k.d. Lang among others back up and accompany Roy Orbison?
  15. I have eclectic taste. I will participate more in the future. My ringtone is Shipping up to Boston.
  16. I'm not an expert, and according to my daughter, I only listen to old fart music like Springsteen. She has made me reluctant to discuss music with anyone under 50.
  17. Give him a break. He's having a problem with light beer and mouthwash.
  18. The Red Sox win!! Love that Dirty Water!!
