  1. After a 4 pitch walk, Coco hacks at the first pitch. Nice.
  2. Nice inning by Becket. 1-2-3
  3. Coco is scary in day games. I noticed that in ST. He had far more trouble with the sun than opposing outfielders.
  4. 3 check swing single for youk in 2 games.
  5. Beckett at 21 pitches after the walk to Rivera.
  6. He is the brother of Home Run Derby Weaver, so hopefully a couple orf guys will take him deep.
  7. I don't feel good about the matchups for the next couple of day, because the Angels are in a hot streak.
  8. Change the title of this thread.
  9. Wells looks fatter than ever. The man has never had a salad.
  10. Pedro looked shaky in the first inning tonight in his return to the mound. He gave up 4 runs on 4 hits, but in typical Pedro fashion he only gave up 1 more hit in his next 5 innings. He also retired the last 12 Braves that he faced. I miss Pedro. If he was still in the Sox rotation, the Sox would be favored to go all the way with a top 3 of Schilling, Beckett and Pedro. Losing Pedro may have actually cost us the Dynasty that so many members of these boards think is in our future. If we had Pedro starting game 1 of the ALDS instead of Clement, the whole post season could have been different. Let's face it, if you could get by the White Sox, you had a great chance of going all the way. I always think that when Pedro walked any chance of multiple Championships went with him.
  11. Don't get your shorts in bunch. He should be fine, but he is not yet a #3 pitcher, nevermind an ace. Unfortunately, right now he is the #3, and too many people are okay with that. He slots into the #5 slot quite nicely. Management has to make sure that the team has a #3 and 4 to slot in. Apparently they are sold on Wells being the #3. I am skeptical. The Yanks # 3 has 12 wins. Ours has zero.
  12. Two bad outings in a row for Lester. We should wait a while before we annoint him as ace or savior.
  13. Lee DH'd for Texas tonight went 2 for 4 and the Rangers got spanked by KC.
  14. Wang now is 12-4. Not bad for a #3 starter. We have a 2 starters and prayers. Our rotation is not as good as the Yankees right now. Not by a long shot. And this may come as a surprise, but with the exception of Papelbon, our bullpen is no great shakes either. I think the Second Place cafe will have a new occupant very soon.
  15. Take Eck out of the studio and he'd be an upgrade over those guys. That's not saying much. BTW Was that Paris Hilton holding up the "Sox Rock Sign" in the 9th inning?
  16. Dennis Eckersley sucked for several years before he reinvented himself as a top closer. The guy's been injured.
  17. That is the sadest thing I have heard all day, and I went to a funeral this morning.
  18. He's getting residuals on the commercial. This one commercial will have him set for life. I must have heard it 10,000 times myself.
  19. An awful lot is riding on the left arm of a 43 year old pot-bellied guy with bad knees and no wins and a near 40 year old knuckleballer with a painful rib injury.
  20. Does retooling mean that the FO doesn't do what it takes to give your team its best chance of winning, but only enought to make it competitive? Is that the definition? If it is, it seems like a pointless concept.
  21. Hopefully, he can comeback healthy, because throwing 86-88 he is better than MDC or Hansen. He throws strikes and almost never walks people.
  22. If it's a rebuilding year, trade him to San Diego for a prospect and unload what's left of his contract. If it's not rebuilding, keep him and plug the gaps with some acquisitions for prospects such as the immortal Hansen and Pedroia and make a run at the Championship. This half-way ******** makes no sense.
