    LOL! Go Red Sox!!! It is time for Price to be a stopper.

    Wednesday wasn't one of those starts. I would have liked for him to go deeper in the game, but 5 1/3 with 1 ER is not going to make me wring my hands with regrets.

    I didn't say that a team should be run a day to day basis. I was commenting on your remark that you will still be a fan in 5 years. If you want to talk about the way to run a team, I don't think any team should run it's operations based on whether Moon will still be a fan 1 year or 5 years from today.;) At the end of October 2004, lots of Sox fans were hoping that Derek Lowe would not get a start in the post season, so we really don't know what part Pom will play. You are welcome, and he may also be the most overblown prospect in their tenure which is why they were willing to part with him.. Espi's age is certainly factored into the ranking, because if he were 20 or 21 and pitching to a 4+ ERA in A Ball, he wouldn't crack the top 100. I get it, and you have stated it enough that we all know it. But every bad Pom start doesn't equate with Espi becoming a star.

    And we don't blame the managers for every loss. I really don't blame him for any losses, because I can't be certain how the alternative would turn out. I do blame him for making many moves that have a low probability of success in game situations. I am pretty sure that his buffoonery has cost the team some games, but I don't blame him for every loss.

    Let's hope so, but in the words of the great Vin Scully, "we are all day to day. Secondly, if we win another championship or two before Espinoza makes it to the big leagues, it doesn't matter to me if he becomes President. Casey Kelly was ranked #24 and 31 in back to back years, and not only didn't he achieve stardom, but he never made it for a full season. Espinoza was ranked #19 going into this season. I am not convinced that 5 spots higher guarantees anything.

    upside-- Espinoza is 5 years away and may not make it at all or he could be traded again while in the minors. Another possibility is that he was a pump and dump. Our pitching prospects are usually overblown. DD does have a good track record in making trades. Last year he traded 2 months of Cespedes for Fullmer.
  7. a700hitter
    That is a no-brainer.

    I am disappointed that when I logged on this morning that brain dead Farrell is still the manager. The reality is that if he did not get cancer last year, he would have been fired. It would have been bad PR. He has been in remission long enough.
  9. a700hitter
    We needed a middle to back of the rotation guy, and that is what we got. Time will tell if he can maintain a 3.50 ERA. His high strike out ratio is helpful in keeping an ERA low.

    The results are usually uneven. When Theo delved big into the FA market in the offseason after 2006, he signed Drew, Lugo and Dice K. The results were very uneven. Lugo and Drew both stunk that season. Uneven results shouldn't dictate a moratorium going forward. A GM imo shouldn't stand pat if there is an opportunity to improve the team.
  11. a700hitter
    DD may have messed up by not topping the Rangers offer for Beltran. We could use another big bat right now.
  12. a700hitter
    Have there been rumors?
  13. a700hitter
    What dumbass lame excuses JF make for tonight's game.
  14. a700hitter
    The team needs a jolt. The only thing DD can do is to fire Farrell and hope it ignites something.
  15. a700hitter
    The pitching can never do the job unless we score more than 5 runs
  16. a700hitter
    Farrell can't tell left from right
  17. a700hitter
    Our bullpen is more like a pigpen and every night we get to see a parade of pigs in the late innings!
  18. a700hitter
    Is Kimbrel available tonight?
  19. a700hitter
    Injury delay?
  20. a700hitter
    Sometimes the pitching has to pick up the hitting. They haven't done much of that this season.
  21. a700hitter
    I would have pinch run for Ortiz, but I would have used a position player or a bullpen puke, not one of our few good starters. Wright hasn't scored a run in a game since high school. It is quite a bit more intense at the major league level. It was an accident waiting to happen and it did happen. Stupidity justly rewarded. i never said that Farrell should have gone to the pen after the first inning. Get some decaf and calm down.
  22. a700hitter
    i am not at all giving the players a free pass. I am fully aware of how much our bullpen stinks. I am saying that brain dead Farrell made very bad choices in the game. Taking out Buch after 3 pitches was pointless and stupid. If he had so much faith in Barnes, he should have brought him in the 6th to get out of the jam and let him continue in the 7th. Apparently, he did not have faith enough in him to go to him in that situation. And bringing in a pitchers other that a lefty specialist for just 3 pitches is a waste. Also, I didn't praise Girardi's genius. I don't have a high regard for any manager, never mind thinking they are brilliant. LOL!
  23. a700hitter
    Name names
  24. a700hitter
    I hope that he is wearing a shinguard
  25. a700hitter
    True, but Buch has pitched well in relief.
