    They may be starting to load up the truck.

    LOL!! Minor league ballplayers and a major league payroll.
  4. a700hitter
    I expect some "beer and chicken" type story before the season is over. LOL!

    Losing is bad enough, but recently the baseball has been very poor quality too. It has been hard to watch.

    He was a huge contributor in 2013, and his loss this season is a big reason for the total flop of 2014. I just bring it up, because it is not just the Yankees that get hosed on multiple year contracts. This FO does very few contracts over 1 or 2 years. One of the very few multiple year contract they have inked is Victorino, and it looks like a bust. Buchholz's contract is pretty much of a bust too. Do we have any other guys inked for more than 2 years?

    It looks like the Sox will get three quarters of one season out of Victorino for $39 million. Shrewd.

    The Brazilian team should arrange to play a baseball game against the Red Sox so they can recover their self-esteem.

    Tomorrow we get to face Sale. Oye!

    He did that back in the days when his urine was excellent.
  11. a700hitter
    Lol! How is Benny Boy's urine these days? Lol!
  12. a700hitter
    yes, a run!

    XB has looked hopeless at the plate for a long time.

    I'm done with this stupid s***. Time to watch something on Netflix.

    The last thing we need to make it worse is this 3rd man announcer business.
  16. a700hitter
    I think it is more accurate to say that the lineup is a hole.
  17. a700hitter
    This is the polar opposite of the 2013 team.
  18. a700hitter
    The horror show continues.

    I can't see getting Craig for Peavy--- maybe Roger Craig. I'd definitely accept the offer of CRaig.

    Hopefully, they bring these guys up and give them playing time. That will give us a reason to watch the games. If they delude themselves into thinking they are still in the race, we may see the same old duds out there. If that happens, the rest of 2014 will be a snooze- fest.

    When things are not going well. Farrell like most managers can't figure out how to get out of a paper bag. Playing Betts is a positive for a few reasons. It would help him develop as an Outfielder, and he needs a position. Pedroia has second base locked down for a few seasons. It will help him learn to hit at the major league level. Finally, it will inject some badly needed production into the lineup. There is no downside to playing him. There is a downside to keeping him on the bench. It will impede his development.

    This is a super stinker -- on pace to be the worst Sox team in 50 years. People wouldn't have cared if this was merely a .500 team that played some meaningful games. People had higher expectations than this horror show. After the excitement of last season, this is a tremendous let down. It's always worse to fail after having elevated people's expectations. If this team stays on its current couse, Fenway will be a ghost town by the first week of August. People will not be able to give away their tickets.

    And we are left to wildly speculate about transformational moves and acquisitions, because the 2014 team has given us nothing to talk about with regard to the games. Following up a World Championship with a last place team is like following a strike in bowling with 2 gutter balls. You just lost the advantage of getting a strike. After winning a World Championship, your team usually gets a lot of coverage. People usually turn out in larger numbers to see the defending World Champions at home and on the road. Instead of capitalizing on the good will of the World CHampionship, they send out the equivalent of the Houston Astros (less the young power hitters). They squandered their good will in record time. If I were one of the owners, I'd be really upset.

    Maybe Bobby V wasn't fully at fault after all. This year's team is worse than the 2012 version.
  25. a700hitter
    This cannot be blamed on a rebuilding year or a bridge year. This is essentially the same team as last year with a big payroll. The FO has to take the hit for this horribly constructed team.
