    Right now he is our best bullpen guy and that is pathetic.

    Okay, Timlin is coming in. We may need to outlast them. Last licks mean a lot in a game like this.

    I love watching Papi come thru time and again. He's worth watching despite the piles of crap on the mound.

    I can understand what Tavarez said. I don't boo the players because they stink. I'll boo them if they just go through the motions. Tavarez is a highly emotional guy who cares. He makes the effort,but he hasn't been very good. I really couldn't understand where Youk was coming from. Did he really think the same fans that cheered Tavarez were the ones that had been booing him all year. What was the point of hoping that he would not acknowledge the cheers? I was really shocked by his attitude. It struck me as naive.

    As you point out, the pitching woes didn't just happen. Lester came up way before he was ready. Wells didn't pitch from the opening week. The FO put together a staff that was held together with rubber bands and bubble gum from the beginning. Although we had injuries, the lack of preparation by the FO resulted in the pitching staff becoming a humiliation. There's no excuse for the pitching we are witnessing. I've lived through some of the cheapest most incompetent management teams, and I can't remember pitching this bad.

    Losing 4 in a row to these guys? When will the humiliation end?

    I've never seen worse piles of crap sent to the mound on a daily basis by a Red Sox team. It's one steaming pile after another. It's unbelievable. I can't believe that they spent $120+ million on this team. Someone should audit their books.

    Wily Mo and Crisp come up empty and leave it up to Gonzo who flies out.

    Who would he put in Corey? They gave him real s*** to parade to the mound.
  16. a700hitter
    Are these guys going to beat us again?

    The whole episode was an embarassment for the FO. There's no way around that. What he did was unprofessional and damaging to the organization and it's offseason plans. It has nothing to do with bias. Pwer plays can be made on the inside of any organization. Quitting only to come back without a contract is a hissy fit. He achieved nothing.

    A bad outing by the scab, Cory Lidle.

    Wily Mo is not very good in RF. Trot would have had that ball easily.
  21. a700hitter
    They should send him back to the O's as the PTNL.
  22. a700hitter
    Signing him for 3 years doesn't mean that they have to keep him for two years, unless they pay an absurd amount above FMV. There is no reason that they couldn't trade him after the first year or even during the first year if Pedroia takes control of the job.
  23. a700hitter
    If there is any doubt by the FO that Pedroia can step in and perform up to Loretta's offensive level, they should re-sign Loretta. The lineup has already become weaker with the loss of Damon. I don't think weakening a second slot in the lineup would be very wise, especially since Loretta is one of the table setters for the big guns. Really, all the Sox have going for them is the top 4. Five through nine are not what they used to be in prior years when Tek and Nixon were more productive and Bill mueller was winning a batting title. If they screw around with the top 4, they will impair the productivity of Manny and Ortiz and the lineup will become very ordinary.

    JSinger must be his Momma if he thinks that Theo would survive two more years with the second highest payroll and no playoffs. IMO, he has until 2008 at most to get this train back on the tracks.
  25. a700hitter
    Unfortunately for Theo, he is in a no-win situation with regard to the Beckett trade. If the trade works out in favor of the Red Sox, there is evidence that he opposed the trade. If the trade doesn't work out, the fact that he opposed it is no excuse, because he should have been more effective in putting forth his objections and prevented the trade if he felt so strongly about it. It's to soon to weigh the merits of the trade. In the end it is possible that it could be good for both teams. There is not always a clear cut winner in these things despite Rookie No-Hitters. If Beckett wins a WS and a Cy Young with Boston, how could Boston be faulted for the trade even if Hanley goes on to an ALL-Star career and Sanchez becomes a big winner?
