    Ben, one dumb ass mutherf***er! Lol! Love it.

    That being said, if we get swept by two division rivals in a row, Farrell has to get fired. He wimped like a wuss on the no call at second base. Remy and the rest of us thought he was going to get himself tossed, but he put his tail between his legs and slinked back to the dugout.

    Also, the more I see Swihart behind the plate the more I like him. He is not flashy, but very fundamentally sound, quick feet and a good accurate arm. There are bright spots.

    Still have to love what we are seeing from this kid. This is a very tough lineup that is red hot right now. He got a tough break on the no call at second base and d'Aza should have had the pop up by Martin. He was positioned wrong and he didn't come hard for that ball. If he slides, he gets that ball. The kid should have been in the dugout with only 2 runs.

    Yeah, but i' ll let you look them up. lol!

    It is a tough lineup.

    Stop with the junior announcing stuff and all that other happy horseshit and get this entire organization focused on baseball.

    Farrell on the pregame said that this team is sticking together. I guess he couldn't say that they are stinking together. Oh and Masterson is with the team, but he hasn't been activated. He has another rehab appearance with Pawtucket coming up. The future is looking bright.

    It was a royal f*** up for not knowing that he was available. He has a whole organization at his disposal that is supposed to know these things.
  10. a700hitter
    Not many at all. The players may have performed, but he was not a good negotiator of contracts, and he had some shopping bad ones. If you buy a Mercedes and it works like a Mercedes is supposed to work, but you have paid 50% more for it than other buyers, you are a bad negotiator. It doesn't make you a good negotiator because you own a Mercedes. Across the board our GMs have overpaid, both for the Mercedes and they have often paid Mercedes prices for broken down Chevy's.

    It's his job to know these things. He is supposed to make these things happen, not read about them in the newspaper. Are we to believe that Beane would shop Donaldson to only one team or that he was so overwhelmed by the offer of Lawrie and Graveman that he accepted it on the spot.
  12. a700hitter
    I agree, but who sits to give him time, or do they do a Castillo/Bradley platoon?
  13. a700hitter
    ER doesn't need mojo. He has the stuff. Edit: Other than ER and Buch our rotation is a parade of pigs and we are saddled with 2 of them for the next 3-4 years. Porcello is the Peter Principle personified -- a bottom of the rotation pitcher promoted to the top of the rotation where he is failing miserably for a very substantial payday. Edit: And most disturbingly, Porcello could cost me a case of beer.

    Bradley is hitting very well at AAA. If the FO is not going to make the moves necessary to compete in 2015, they should give JBJ a full shot or trade him. There is no sense keeping him in AAA for the full season. The big question is whose playing time would get sacrificed in order for him to play -- Hanley, Betts, or Castillo.
  15. a700hitter
    I am not sure what you mean by this. I am pretty sure that we could have topped a package of Brett Lawrie and Graveman. Toronto fleeced the hugely overrated Billy Beane.

    And they paid Hanley who is a DH in waiting much more than they ever paid Big Papi (the best DH in history). Hanley's contract would have been a good contract if he still played SS -- a premium position. Clearly, that was not the case as he can't catch a cold. It seems to me that Ben and the Red Sox were bidding against themselves on Panda and Hanley. These were poor acquisitions from a team building perspective and to add insult to injury, they were overpays. My prediction is that neither will be a full time player with the RedSox by the time these contracts finish. Our last 2 gms have been like a couple of rubes when it comes to negotiating contracts. When I was growing up in Brooklyn, the old women shopping for groceries were shrewder negotiaters than our gms. They would have eaten Theo's and Ben' s lunch. Lol!

    It means that we really really stink.
  18. a700hitter
    Crap!
  19. a700hitter
    Bases loaded and one out for Ortiz. He needs to get a ball in the air.
  20. a700hitter
    Nice play on the hunt by Bianchi. That slips right out of Panda's fat soaked hand. Panda is out with a tight quad. The trainer needed a special instrument to get through the fat layers to find muscle.
  21. a700hitter
    Let's get a lead boys!
  22. a700hitter
    Papi will hit. Bank on it.
  23. a700hitter
    Hanley is an obscenely overpaid DH. Ortiz could never pull down those bucks because he is a DH, and he is a much better first baseman than Hanley is an outfielder.
  24. a700hitter
    Hanley has the range of a garbage can cover.
  25. a700hitter
    We looked like clowns on that. Panda's ball but he never called it.
