What kind of wimp is Girardi that an upper-respiratory illness has him in the clubhouse and not in the dugout for the second game in a row. Take some cold meds and get your ass in the dugout! The Boss must really be out of it. There's no way he'd let a manager get away with this when he was in charge.
With Bucholz, who has not looked good lately, going tomorrow and Halladay pitching for the Jays on Sunday, the Sox will be lucky to get one win in this series.
Three rookies in a pen is "full of rookies as far as I am concerned." It's not like the others like Traber and Bruney are very accomplished. Your vets, Farnsworthless and Latroy are dogs.
I am glad tha Francona is done with that parade of pigs. Neither of those guys should be anywhere near a mound in a tie game in the 7th inning or later.
