First of all, 32 is not mid-30's. His current contract would be up at age 33. There would have been no need for either Buchholz or Bowden if we got Halladay. Neither of them would have cracked that staff with Dice k and Wakefield being the 4th and 5th guys. By 2011, the next crop of prospect pitchers would have been knocking on the major league door and the FO would either give them a shot or package them for an established star. So, if done properly, getting Halladay would not cause the team to have to rebuild in a couple of years. Yeah, okay. I don't think that I have disputed that. Boy, you are presumptuous aren't you. Did I ever say that this team is not good? It is a very talented team, but in my opinion it could be better. You are a rose-colored optimist. I am not. I see weaknesses in every team and I express my opinion about those weaknesses. It seems that unless I like every move that the Red Sox make and if I am not thrilled about every raw green kid that gets called up then you are not happy.

8/5 Penny for your thoughts

Ortiz and Drew taking a seat tonight against the lefty. -

I evaluate each acquisition/move on its merits. As I have said several times, I think the FO on balance has done an excellent job over the last several years. Does this sound like condemnation to you? Do you think Theo and Co. have been perfect? I don't and I can point to several screw ups that Theo has himself acknowledged. This year I think he could have done much better at the trading deadline.

3 days I think.

Do the Sox need to add another starter?

Redundancy of injured pitchers does not equate to pitching depth. The acquisition of these two guys highlights that. -
That's down the road a bit.
-
In his last AB he saw 6 pitches. Arguably, only 1 was in the strike zone. He took the Golden Sombrero last night. He has some nice tools,but he needs to work on them in the minors, or we will see more nights like last night.

I demand names!

The $10+ million of low risk moves on Penny and Smoltz have been anything but low risk. They carry a combined record of 9 wins 9 losses with an ERA around 6.50. It was a risk having them in the rotation. Their suckiness is the reason why the Sox are in second place. -
From today's Boston Globe:

Any thoughts?

She'd piss herself if she even thought about asking a tough question.

Rays continue to own us.

My point is that Bard is not blameless in this game. He deservedly gets a lot of the blame, and so does Pedroia.
-
Bard was terrible in that inning. He looked like a scared rookie and he made a ridiculous fielding play. If the ball didn't get stuck in the wall, the run would have scored and the bullpen would have been spared lots of wear and tear and we would have lost less sleep.
-
Saito should have just turned around and throw the ball over the wall.
-
At least this time the stats were right.
-
Pitching to Longoria defies all logic. Maybe Tito wanted the game to end. I just don't know.
-
How do you let him beat you with 2 open bases? How? I don't need stats to back me up on this do I?
-
They will need to call up a bullpen pitcher for tomorrow. Who gets cut or DL'd?
-
They might as well start hanging clothes on Kotchman so they get some use out of him. Maybe they should send him out on beer runs.
-
I hope VMart is catching tomorrow so we can get Lowell's bat in the lineup.
