    Eck summarized the game correctly in the studio by calling the offense pathetic.

    The HR ball is killing Bunch this season. He is giving up an alarming number of long balls.
  3. a700hitter
    Wow, this team is soo dead that it has killed all discussion about them.
  4. a700hitter
    We have last place all to ourselves. What a disgrace!

    Can't blame Peavy for this game. Badenhop has thudded back to earth.

    He's not a Sox prospect, but the kid interests me, because of what his grandfather said about him. He said that the kid has the drive and desire. Coming from him that means a lot. Yaz was a guy whose drive and desire pushed him to greatness. After seeing Pedroia work and will himself to greatness, I have become a big believer that drive and desire are the key differentiators at the professional level. It is the one thing that is the most difficult to evaluate, because you can't see it unless the you watch a guy everyday. The kid is only in Advanced A, but he advanced quickly to this level. He was dominating at the A level,before being promoted a couple of weeks ago.

    And Gomes' numbers are great against lefties. It is such an obvious platoon that would be productive.

    Drew proving the Blind Squirrel theory.

    Get ready for a lot of goose eggs by our lineup. We need Napoli or Pedroia to go deep. It's the only chance we have. This is is the same bad movie that we have been watching since opening day. Don't expect a differnt result.

    he's a terrible baserunner - bad instincts and slow.

    I am glad that you are still engaged, but I do think they will be confronted by a big decline in fan interest if they keep rolling out garbage and losing.

    I love Ortiz, but is DHing in a doubleheader too strenuous? I could understand it if they were throwing a tough lefty, but not against a mediocre righty like Gonzalez.
  13. a700hitter
    Better yet, he is providing protection for Napoli. The bottom 5 of this game's lineup is gag inducing. Lester needs to give up no more than 1 run if he wants to have a chance.

    This is the problem confronting the FO. If diehards like you, are despondent and uninterested, their business has a problem- a big problem.
  15. a700hitter
    Ortiz will be sitting the first game of the Saturday doubleheader. That should help supercharge the offense.
  16. a700hitter
    Top pitching is the most valuable commodity in baseball. The pattern has been for teams to retain their aces. If the Mariners can keep King Felix and the Tigers keep their aces and the Giants extended their guys, we can keep Lester. Letting a stud like him walk in his prime would not be smart. Letting your chief competitor poach him would compound the bad decision. Winning the division is the big goal now that the Wild Card is a 1 game crap shoot. Letting the Yankees take your most valuable commodity to help them beat you for 4 or 5 years would not be smart business.

    git'er done!

    The A's made a huge move today obtaining Samardzija and Hammel for prospects Billy McKinney and Addison Russell and Dan Straily. The A's are looking like the class of the league.

    And Salty got benched in the World Series because he was helpless at the plate.
  20. a700hitter
    I think the 1997 Marlins did it,and they did it by disgracefully by breaking up the World Championship team in 1998.
  21. a700hitter
    Happy 4th! At least the Red Sox can't ruin the day on us.
  22. a700hitter
    The Red Sox offense is like a Soccer team.

    If they finish dead last or lose 90+ games this year, the lineup will not closely resemble your projected lineup. There will be new veterans in that lineup. You can bank on that.

    I think that makes sense, but I don't see them doing that. Also, wouldn't they lose a draft pick if the sign him away from the team they traded him to?

    You could mistake them for a Gymnastic Team.
