  1. It might be just you.
  2. He'll be at Fenway sooner than later.
  3. People should be encouraged. Schilling is healthier than anyone could have hoped him to be. Lowell has shown that he will probably be closer to his old self than last year's version. Youks has shown that he is an everyday player. Beckett has been a horse. Papelbon has been lights out and Foulke has shown a return to form. When Coco comes back that should jump start the offense, and if they pick up Clemens or Willis, watch out.
  4. At this stage, it looks very much like the 2004 team through May and June.
  5. Theo doesn't like compromising the future for expensive players who only have a couple of years left. Getting willis is for a package of prospects is not compromising the future. Willis is the future. He is a stud and he is still cheap. It would be a trade of an uncertain future for a certain future. Theo would be a fool not to make the deal. Lester is 22 and they are still teaching him fundamentals. He has a long long way to go, but Willis at 24 is already a star. There's no comparison.
  6. Foulke had pitched the day before, and had worked several times this week. Papelbon hadn't worked since Tuesday. He needed the work.
  7. I'd like to see him get on a good run soon. His lutre as a top prospect will start to get tarnished if he keeps going on this way. Get him on a little run, then the FO should talk him up big and wait for the Marlins to beg us for him as part of a package for Dontrelle Willis.
  8. Lowell is doing fine. Everyone was predicting a fossilized player with a slow bat. He's been hitting around .300 and has a load of doubles. I think he is doing better than a lot of people expected. He has solidified the 3B job and silenced the murmuring about Snow playing 1st and Youk going back to 3rd.
  9. 16 base runners is a good sign. Keep getting on and the odds will turn with men in scoring position.
  10. They are just not getting key hits. The good news is that there have been plenty of opportunities. Sooner or later they will come through and big innings will happen.
  11. After all, it's just a stupid flag.
  12. I heard from a very reliable source that Ms. Waldman had something going on with Boggs. We all know that he had terrible taste in woman. Anyway without disclosing my source, the story goes like this. Very late one night there was a knock at the hotel room door of Michael Kay. When Kay answered the door, it was Boggs. He apologized and said he thought that this was Suzanne's room. Kay got the impression that he wasn't going to her room to get a look at her scorecard for that day's game.
  13. I think you just confirmed your anti-Americanism.
  14. He is not the next coming. He is this coming. The next coming is Papelbon.
  15. Any Yankee fan would love to have him the Yankee rotation, so bash away while you can. We will get the last laugh as he pumps his fist at Yankee batters that he has just buried.
  16. Bring back Darren Lewis and Jeff Frye. ... No, not at all.
  17. Byrd has been tough on the Sox. He throws that soft-serve and he gets guys reaching and overswinging. This will be a tough comeback, especially if Beckett keeps giving up Homers.
  18. Gonzo makes that play. Cora is not in the same league.
  19. Manny probably told his wife when he got caught: "That wasn't you?"
  20. Call it telepathy, luck or whatever you want. I think this spells the end for Riske, especially since they realize that Foulke can get lefties out, and that supposedly was Riske's forte. I think Hansen's stay in AAA will be short if he dominates there like he did at AA -- maybe a week or 10 days. JSinger, be careful about disagreeing with me again.
  21. I was joking. Do you have any dish on the girl with the broom that cleans the bases?
  22. All those others are retired. Usually you cannot find a shirt for a trade player such as Nomar. When Mo left, you couldn't find his shirt while he was active. There were no Clemens shirts while he was with Toronto, NY and Houston. As far as I know, he is not retired. Did they print those shirts only to have to burn them if he signs with the Yankees? I disagree with your thought that going to the Yankees would not change the dynamic for the Boston fans.
  23. Did they have a Nomar shirt?
  24. I heard that she is being boinked by the grounds crew, but my source's credibility is questionable.
  25. 4.91 - Nice ERA for Mo.
