Swisher is 1 for 24 at the Stadium.

That I'll throw up in disgust around the third inning.

Are you visiting, or do you live nearby?

Yaz, Cecil Cooper, not too shabby. Second basemen did what they were supposed to do. Cover ground and catch balls. Oh, and the old school team had a catcher that could throw the ball- Fisk.

Yes, logic and Doji are synonymous when it comes to Red Sox issues.

Ortiz looked the same way last year. He'll come out of this, but the question is whether they can afford to wait. Unlike last year, there is no Bay to pick up the slack. Drew has been slumping too until last night. They are in danger of falling out of this race from giving away games, not from Ortiz's or Drew's slumps or cold pitching. They gave away three games that I can think of. Let's start with last night's game in which Beltre was on a mission to donate the game to the Orioles. He made mistakes in the field and two on the bases. Forgetting the number of outs and getting caught stealing 3rd for the 3rd out is unforgivable. They gave away two games to Tampa. There was the Friday night where the idiot 3B coach sent Youk to his death at home with no one out. Scutaro made an error and Beltre lost a ground ball in the lights that was scored a hit. I have no problem with Beltre losing the ball in the lights, but it was a Baltimore chop. When he lost it in the lights, he should have tried to knock it down to keep the ball in the IF so the runner from second didn't score. Instead he jerked away from it like it was a hand grenade and the ball bounced slowly into the OF allowing the run to score. Again stupidity. If that harmless high chopper had hit him on his thick skull, the ball would have been the worse for it, but he chose to olay it like a retard. Apologies to Gov. Palin. In Saturday's game, Cameron gave the game away in the first inning with a ridiculous error leading to 4 runs. We can survive the slumps and the cold pitching, but the errors and stupidity have been killing us. As for getting a big bopper at this point, who has the crack pipe now. There will be no big bopper available until it is too late this season, if then. There were two big boppers available this winter-- one desperately wanted to stay with us. The other was Holliday. We opted for neither, but decided to go for a 37 yr old CF, who, in his prime, wasn't half the hitter that Holliday is. His season has been a train wreck so far. We also went for a brainless third baseman to clog up the IF rotation and force VMart to catch every game giving all AL base runners a free pass for second base. Don't be expecting any big bopper soon.

I think he is going to have a big night tonight.

Old School Red Sox to me was a team that carried all of these OFers on the same roster: Yaz, Rice, Lynn, Evans, Carbo, Miller and Beniquez. That was old school. No one ran on those guys, and the OFers were never 7,8 and 9 in the batting order. Now the OF is Drew and a bunch of dreck.

His role has already been reduced. He is in a platoon with Lowell. He's not going to get released.

You kill me. You are not buying the excuse. I post that David Ortiz has built up goodwill with me, and you come back with you are not buying the excuse. Hmmm? It must be some reason that I don't want to disclose. Maybe I am David Ortiz's lover? Maybe I'm a racist and I'm rooting against the Dominican guy? Oh that's right, they are both Dominican and very similar shades of brown. That can't be it. Maybe I hate Right handed people and favor left handed people? But I am right handed and so is Papelbon, Pedroia, and Youkilis and they are all right handed. That can't be it. But you are not buying. I'm not asking you to buy, just stop.

After three stupid things, yeah I was gonna get on him for giving to charity. The fact is that in addition to all of his other stupid plays and poor defense, his power output has been pathetically subpar. What excuse? It was an explanation. Rooting for a team is an emotional thing. I don't have to justify my criticisms, just explain them. Stop being a jerk.

Gold gloves mean nothing. Ask an honest Mets fan what they think of David Wright's circus act at third base. He plays every ball off to his side, and lots of hits are credited on balls that are playable if he would get in front of the ball and knock it down. Beltre has a tendency to make those olay plays too. Tonight he played the ball off to the side and it cost us the game.

Thank you Adrian ******* Beltre for handing a s*** team a win.

VMart has a higher percentage of XBHs than Beltre and VMart is slumping badly. edit: And VMart is slow as hell. He has run at least 3 XBHs into singles.

Send me your transcript. You are probably smarter than Beltre.

Ortiz still has some good will in the bank. Beltre has never built up any. If Ortiz is washed up, it will be sad to see him go. He gave a lot of thrills. I go to about 8 games a year at Fenway, and I have seen him hit three walk off HRs.

Here comes the loss to a team that we should beat like a drum. Chalk this one up to the Bumbling Butcher at third base.

Change it to no knowledge and it fits.
