  1. Hey VA, where the heck were the lineups for my gamethread?
  2. Jed Hoyer at the game with Darnell McDonald. Now I understand why Theo keep giving DMac major league jobs.
  3. He might be the only one. And I don't think he catches it. He plays pretty shallow and I don't think he can get that ball without slamming into the wall. No one playing his first game at Fenway, Bradley included, gets that ball. Cut the kid a break calling that a misplay, maybe on the carom, but that wasn't going to be a single.
  4. We can't let this recycled trash own us like this.
  5. The misplay. Lol! Most CF's don't catch that ball. And if it doesn't get caught it is going to be a double.
  6. But it will not be easy. That's the Red Sox way.
  7. Mookie is going to triple into the RF corner and bang a double off the Monster tonight and Bradley's days with the big club will be numbered.
  8. What year was that?
  9. That caliber of prospect just does not excite me when it means losing Lester. Avisil Garcia, Mike Olt? Not for me. That's just a signal to your team and fans that you have thrown in the towel. It doesn't scream out that there is a commitment to the future either.
  10. Who was the top 100 prospect in the Peavy deal?
  11. Keeping Peavy in the rotation is a dumb move.
  12. ^ This sums it up perfectly. If they would be on the level that they didn't think a player was worth the investment, people would still disagree, but at least that would be genuine. This phoney baloney cry of poverty is completely disingenuous.
  13. They were joking last night that the Sox have the All-Rosenthal team because we have a lot of players under 6 feet tall. I notice this spring that we have a lot of little guys. Do they try to get kid's airfares for them? LOL!
  14. Wake at the end was torturous to watch. He couldn't get anyone out and he could no longer field his position.
  15. He didn't look that small to me, maybe because he is very slender he gives a taller appearance.
  16. You are more trusting than me. I think that they are considering trading him and they are probably dangling him out there like red meat, but in the end, I don't think that they can net enough of a return for less than half a season of Lester to be worth the negative impact on the 2014 team and the sour taste for the fans.
  17. Arrieta has been very hot lately, and Peavy looks like a washed up pitcher. If we get into their pen by the 7th inning we will win the game. I think Pedey has turned the corner and Betts will inject some life into the offense. I am looking forward to some renewed energy on the field.
  18. I believe almost none of what I read anymore. The press is a tool. Whenever I read an article, I ask myself who benefits from this article and then I try to reconcile the information in the article with behavior. Why would the Sox reopen negotiations with Lester with 1 month to go before the trading deadline? Moreover, how and why did this information get into the press? The Red Sox are notoriously tight-lipped about these matters and there is no indication that Lester went to the press. I have to conclude that the Red Sox wanted this story out there. Why? We will find out, but I think they are considering trading him and this story gives them cover to say that they made every effort to sign him. If he gets traded, I am not going to buy any of the propaganda from the FO suits. The pattern has been for teams to keep their star pitchers. Many of those teams have a lot less resources than the Red Sox. Hey Red Sox FO. I am on to you. LOL!
  19. The Cubs are well entrenched in last place again on a pace to lose 93 games. I guess that Theo's 3-5 year plan is now just a 5 year plan, if he lasts that long.
  20. Will Theo go to his old office by mistake when the Cubs arrive?
  21. Arrieta vs. Peavy Game Time 7:10
  22. The Sox won, scored 8 runs, won the weekend series against the Yankees, Pedroia has 6 hits over the last two games and mojo is intact!
  23. What? LOL!
  24. Drew with a hit and a RBI. Has the world stopped spinning?
  25. I'm pretty sure that I have answered this a few times. In the short run, Holt or Betts or anyone who can carry a bat to the plate can play CF until Victorino comes back to patrol CF.
