    This team has not been beating good teams all year long, so it is no surprise that when it got a little banged up that it had trouble with the bad teams. The answer is yes it is the FO's fault. They put this sorry group together. No one else did. They have to be held accountable.
  2. a700hitter
    Good job by the FO. They spend $ 120+ Million on a team that raises the white flag by August 20th. What a disgrace.
  3. a700hitter
    Didn't he take Randy Johnson deep for a grand salami once?
  4. a700hitter
    If they take just anything for him, wouldn't the FO be officially signaling that they are throwing in the towel.
  5. a700hitter
    You'd have to do it if the Tigers would take it.

    This link has some interesting stats. From 2002 to today, Pedro is 3rd among pitchers in winning % behind only Halladay and Santana. He is also tied with Schilling for 2nd in # of wins during that period -- two wins behind Halladay. This is somewhat surprising to me since this is after Pedro's prime years from 1998-2000 and after his arm injury in 2001. It supports my opinion that he is still a very special pitcher.

    The Tigers are reported to have turned down an offer of DFA Loretta for pitching help. Here's the link. http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/articles/2006/08/19/tigers_dont_bite_on_trade/

    or anything in a Yankee Uniform.
  9. a700hitter
    I made the appropriate edits.
  10. a700hitter
    They need to teach this to Beckett first before they get around to Lester.
  11. a700hitter
    It's all BS posturing for PR purposes, trying to get the fans on one side or the other. The FO plays these games in its own way. They even lie to each other during the face to face negotiations.
  12. a700hitter
    Yeah, I noticed, but most players are full of it.
  13. a700hitter
    But the most descriptive.
  14. a700hitter
    It's been horrendous.
  15. a700hitter
    On these boards we prefer to call him "Home Run Derby" Beckett.
  16. a700hitter
    He's a bulldog with a lot of balls. He needs to adjust and he really needs to develop another out pitch like a splitter.
  17. a700hitter
    Yeah, he was half as good as Aaron Small was last year.
  18. a700hitter
    Mods get the sniper Jon_Papelboner out of here now before the last two games and ruin his weekend.
  19. a700hitter
    If your definition of a bandwagon fan is someone that has traveled thousands of miles to watch the Red Sox over 39 years through thick and thin, someone who stuck with them through the Butch Hobson crack-pipe years, then you are an ignoramus. (idiot is being overused lately) Someone who roots for and supports the FO despite their obvious poor performance is a ball washer or a groupie.
  20. a700hitter
    ORS, you are a miltary guy right? Jon_Papelboner is a sniper. We have to take out the sniper. No snipers allowed on this site. As obnoxious as he was., Rivernator was not a sniper.
  21. a700hitter
    I appreciate the kind gesture, and i should probably save myself from additional aggravation, but I can't help myself. I'll make the trip to Ft. Myers in March and be all optimistic no matter how the FO massacres the off-season.
  22. a700hitter
    I agree. Get him out of here.
  23. a700hitter
    We are in the midst of a total meltdown. It's like a the 2001 spiral when Varitek went down mixed with a dose of the 1978 Boston Massacre. This isn't a little skid. This is an annihilation and an embarassment.
  24. a700hitter
    They would've made the playoffs that year, but for the injuries to Pedro that wiped out his season and Varitek. It was a retooling year. Try this link. You can see more than the one year. Look at the last year the Sox won a division-- 1995. Duke had the 18th highest payroll. When the Sox went to the playoffs in 1999 and 2000, he had the 5th highest payroll. He had the 2nd highest payroll only once-- 2001. Key Injuries, 2 idiot managers and Carl Everett destoyed that teams chances. After that year Duke was fired and Theo has had the second highest payroll for 5 straight years. In that last two years he's managed to dismantle a champion and feared competitive team and reduce them to a $120+ million joke. http://asp.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/salaries/totalpayroll.aspx?year=1995
  25. a700hitter
    I've been waiting for that one too.
