  1. The difference is that Tito constantly gets burned by his stupid moves. Girardi has been leading a charmed life.
  2. Oh, and one more last thing. let's hope that Drew's injury doesn't keep him out of the lineup.
  3. 228, you and I know that Girardi has led a charmed life until now. Sooner or later one of his bonehead moves were going to burn him. He still has plenty of bad moves in the bank which didn't burn him.
  4. One last thing. We need to dump that f***ing gutless ingrate Papelbon for a couple of prospects. Then I can start the 40 year clock waiting to see another closer like him in a Red Sox uni.
  5. I am always critical of lousy play, and they have played lousy for the first 6 weeks of the season, but as I said this morning, I can't explain why good players and pitchers have been playing so badly. I have been waiting for this team to turn a corner. Maybe this series is going to be it. BTW: Ortiz is back, and pretty close to his pre-injury self. Barring injury, he will hit 30 bombs and knock in 100+
  6. In this series, they showed character and an ability to compete with the Yankees on the road. The trip may have accomplished a lot more than 1 win 1 loss. I have had it with some of the negative ions like Example I on this site. Buck up! There is nothing wrong with this team. They will start to put things together.
  7. His WHIP sucked tonight, but his converted save is all that mattered leaving the tying run on 3rd base with less than 2 outs.
  8. Need a k or a pop up here.
  9. After 2 1/3 innings on Saturday and his flat stuff last night, going to Paps may not have been the best move here.
  10. Just this morning I was thinking that Hermida was just a slow-footed hack left-fielder.
  11. Mo sucks!!! Trade him for Papelbon.
  12. Pedroia has never had a hit against Mo.
  13. I've got to give the scrub his props getting a hit off Mo in his first AB against him.
  14. Randy Johnson is one of the ugliest creatures on the planet. The only thing cool about him was that he was really scary with a baseball in his hand, and so is CC.
  15. ... and since 2003 Mo has been worse against the Sox than any other team. It makes sense. The Yanks and the Sox have been two of the strongest teams in the game and with the unbalanced schedule, they have much more familiarity with the other team's closer.
  16. We find ourselves in ridiculous arguments about who has been the biggest underperformer. The answer to that question is not the reason why we suck so bad. We are not in 4th place because of Beckett's or Ortiz's slow starts. The truth is that our starting pitching has all to one degree or another underperformed. We have also suffered through other early batting slumps of VMart and a lack of timely hitting that belies the run scored stat. Our bull pen has been bad, not just Papelbon, and our defense has been shockingly bad. Injuries and underperformance are not excuses for sucking this bad. The Yanks have had injuries-- Granderson, Johnson and Pettitte and no one has been a bigger under performer than Vasquez. Tex had a terrible early season slump. So, why are they so much better than us? I have to say that I really don't have the answer to that. I can't come up with a reasonable explanation. I really thought we were seeing the 2010 team turn a corner last night, but I am left wondering if there is a corner for this team to turn or will it keep going in this nightmarish circle.
  17. ... And that is your way of saying that a700 is right as usual, and you don't even remember why you were arguing with the old man.
