  1. Umps triggers are too fast in general today. They are too confrontational. The ump should have walked away and dusted off the plate instead of eye-balling Papi all the way back to the dugout.
  2. It was notreally a big argument or scene caused by Ortiz. It's just a case of an egotistical umpire exerting his authority. The people that paid hundreds of dollars to go to the game just got robbed of seeing one of the games greats by an ump with a quick trigger. What an idiot!
  3. Who are they supposed to bring home. No one is getting on in front of them.
  4. Crisp was throwing that ball to him, but he's so inaccurate that he missed him. He also took a cutoff throw from Crisp earlier in the week.
  5. Offensive production like this at home is an eye-opener.
  6. Drew has been a good replacement for the offense we lost with Damon.
  7. Time for Drew to do something.
  8. The offense needs to get started.
  9. as you said there is a big area between long shot and top echelon. The FO is paid to figure out which guy in between will make it and which will be career minor leaguers. That's how good FO's make their money. They trade prospects that never make it for top players. Edit: I don't dis Ellsbury. I think he is a big talent, but he's probably not ready to step in and produce this season. That's why I'd consider a rent a player for the second half.
  10. The announcers gave some stat about him yesterday. I think it was career OBP. He was in the company of William, Gehrig and one other all-time great. He is an all time great hitter to be in such select company.
  11. The precipitously declining Helton with another RBI.
  12. Not a lot of range there by Pedroia.
  13. It's his first loss since opening day, so I'll cut him a fair amount of slack. Also, before yesterday, only the Yankees had been tuning him up. If he finishes the year with 15 wins and a sub 4 ERA and 200+ innings, he will not have a problem getting $13 million next year. Also, whoever we get to replace him will almost surely not come close to those numbers.
  14. I'd call Ellsbury up if anyone hits the DL. I'd give the kid a shot, and if he's overmatched, I'd return him to AAA when the player returns from the DL.
  15. Lugo needs to sit if he doesn't bust out in the next two or 3 games. It looks like his confidence is shot. His lack of offensive production is starting to carry over to the field. He needs to be taken out of the spotlight and hidden on the bench for a while. Cora could not do worse. Crisp is looking lost as well. WMP even with his k's would probably upgrade the offense, but his D is a big downgrade. Getting these guys highlights that not every player can handle the pressure of performing in Boston. When you find players that can perform in Boston, you have to pay a premium for them. The FO should have kept Damon and OCab. We are paying for those FO mistakes.
  16. We might only win 3 of the next 5 games, which should be good enough to maintain the lead over the Yankees.
  17. Jeesh, Farnworthless almost gave away the game. He left a cookie for Clark on a 2 strike pitch.
  18. He hit a rope, but to Jeter.
  19. 2-1 to Young. Make him get the ball up.
  20. Papelbon was overpowering tonight. Fast game.
