  1. The game should be over already. Fat Panda!!
  2. I am with you on that. It was like he was improvising in the off season with no plan. And Panda makes another error. His belly got in the way this time-- not his fault, definitely not Ben's fault.
  3. I never believed it, but people were posting that before the season started. Bogaerts has improved since last year. That has been nice to see. On the other hand, Hanley has been atrocious -- much worse than I had expected. The rest are what I had expected. As a team they are about league average maybe a little below.
  4. He's toast. He got a $9 million parting gift. No one else was going to give him that.
  5. We can live with him out there, but this is not a plus defensive team as we were led to believe.
  6. Donaldson hit another HR today.
  7. In fairness, he would only be in the jumbo weight division for sumo wrestlers. He would not be in the super jumbo class.
  8. Panda lost that ball in a fat fold. His 5th error of the season. Where is this plus defense that I read so much about in the off season. I never believed it at that time.
  9. Huge dope. He also shoots imaginary arrow into the stands after a save.
  10. Was the cause of the power outage weather-related?
  11. Pal, I made you a trade offer. LMK. Feel free to counter-offer.
  12. Pedroia and his stinking hitting streak need to be sent packing. He and his unbridled enthusiasm are a drag on this team.
  13. Our season is saved. This should help our pitching more than it will help our offense.
  14. This screams out that there is something wrong with the organization.
  15. This is true, but even if we are better than a last place team, we are probably only a third place team with little hope of competing for the post season unless changes are made. They could turn things around. I am hoping that they do, but i can only see it happening if we get 2 new effective starters. Rodriguez or Johnson hopefully will settle into one of the spots and we need to get a pitcher via a trade. That is what I think it will take. You can rail about the offense, but our starters have the worst ERA in all of baseball two months into the season. That isn't going to cut it even if our lineup turns into murderers row.
  16. It's a mirage that we are still competitive. There are too many clubs to jump over. Not only do we have to get hot, but we have to hope that no one in front of us gets hot. We can turn this around by retooling the starting rotation from the minors and by trade. Both need to be done. We can't rebuild the staff sufficiently in 2015 without going the trade route.
  17. There has been a certain drumbeat here to trade Pedroia to open up second base for Betts and clear the OF backlog. I am not so sure there is an OF backlog anymore or if there had ever been.
  18. Shaun Marcum is in the Guardians rotation. Where the heck has he been?
  19. I think the season can be salvaged if one of the Pawtucket kids can stay in the rotation and pitch well. Maybe it will be Rodriguez, maybe Johnson. I don't think we can expect 2 of the kids to make the leap and be productive this year. When has that ever happened? If one of the kids helps out and holds down one spot and we make a trade soon for a real top of the rotation guy, I think we can compete. I think the bats will heat up enough to score enough runs. Hanley in LF will continue to frustrate. He is worse than Youk when he played out there briefly one season. Cripes, AGon was better in the OF.
  20. The announcer said that the Red Sox are an upper echelon team with a big payroll and no ace. That's ridiculous. I have to agree. This roster is a huge huge waste of money.
  21. The defense that inning was an embarrassment. They looked like a bad over the hill softball team.
  22. They can't go a whole season with him in LF. He is a train wreck. Heshould have been signed to play 3B, but he'd already signed fatso. He should have passed on Hanley and put the money towards pitching.
  23. by time he is done, Beltre will be in the HOF. I'll never understand letting him walk. He's a durable guy that earns his money.
  24. Phony!! You go to sleep on the West Coast games. Jk. Your fandom and passion cannot be questioned.
