    ... and more personal insults? Are you done?

    "Some jerk" --more name-calling?

    So, he's accountable, but with excuses? That's just whiny. It's not accountability. As for Schoenweiss, check the game logs. He was pitching very important innings, and he was not the 6th guy out of the pen in those games. He had no business being on any roster, never mind a roster that cost around $170 million.

    I give up. Taking a team with the second highest payroll in baseball and ending up with the third worst bullpen and the second worst defense was just plain old bad luck. They caught some bad breaks.

    The pen stunk when it left Ft. Myers. There was no excuse for that. Schoenweiss was pitching important innings. That's just not acceptable.

    I agree with most of what you said, but breaking camp with Schoenweiss pitching important innings was a huge red flag that things were not good from the start.

    Sometimes the facts alone are damning. A bullpen that was third from the bottom of the league and a defense that was next to last. Those are facts. No opinion or editorializing is necessary.

    Thank you for making my point for me. If I could make the observation that the bullpen sucked in April, it must also have been obvious to the FO. Yet, none of their moves over the next 5 months improved the situation. Bad job.

    They didn't die or suffer some other freakish act of god. They just sucked. Who gets the blame for stocking a roster with sucky players? Answer: The GM. Sorry but that is just the way it is.

    I don't buy into the luck theory of building a bullpen. Bullpens are a huge factor in today's game. If such a significant factor in the game is left to chance, then some new blood and new ideas are needed in major league baseball front offices. I think the successful teams adapt throughout the season and continue to build their bullpens after the start of the season. Last year, the Sox FO efforts to build the bullpen during the season were woeful. The internal candidates were generally ineffective, and they made no significant moves outside the organization. They take accountability for the bullpen. It had no significant injuries, and I don't buy the crap shoot theory. There has to be accountability.

    I hear that Gary Rogenburk (sp) - once big prospect has finally put things together for Bill Lee's traveling team, and Robinson Checo is finally healthy too.

    Would that be the run prevention model that had the Sox finish next to last in run prevention in 2010? Lol! I have heard from Marlins fans that Uggla significantly improved his fielding last year.
