This is setting up as another 1 run loss. Jeeesh, they just can't put opponents away.

Terrible play by Nava.

Brock Holt!! Not just a good name for a porn star!

So, you are a horseman.

So, the Sox should put him out there to give away a game or maybe two before he gets on track?

He gave up 2 home runs in his first AAA rehab start. His 2014 has killed this team. He was supposed to head up a strong rotation.

This was a game that they should have put in the bank. But they are not a good team and they let an easy matchup get away. This bunch is going nowhere.

Whether he needs the money has nothing to do with it. All that matters is whether he can get more. This is a high paid guy at the end of his career. He is not going to want to do battle for minimum wage, and he won't if he has leverage to renegotiate.

Yep, that's exactly right. They have to make things happen, and they haven't all season long.

Morally? Are you guys kidding? It's got nothing to do with morality. In business, that is pretty rare. It's all about leverage. Both parties have leverage here, but I think Lackey has the edge. I can tell you one thing that will not be an outcome. He will not allow himself to be traded to another team without a renegotiation or a threat of retirement. That makes his trade value plummet.

A home game with this pitching matchup against the Guardians was a setup for a W and a series win. This group just can't get over the hump and get some momentum.

I aim to entertain, but sometimes I miss that mark badly and people get offended.

It;s time to toss Capuano back into the recycling dumspter for old lefthanded pitchers.

A smart pitcher would pitch carefully to them considering the weakness of the rest of the lineup.

Why would anyone pitch to the only 2 guys in the lineup that can hurt you?

I'll do better than that. I'll send you a monthly check for a percentage of the royalties.

They are letting anotherseries slip away. Another couple of weeks of this and Ben will drive the truck to Fenway to cart away the trash and sell off a lot of other pieces.

The royalties are flooding in. LOL!!

This doesn't even arise to thelevel of dumpster diving. When this guy was in his prime, he wasn't good. There is no intent or hope here to improve the major league team.

They need to get Victorino back fast and get Bradley out of the lineup. Victorino need to stay on the field for the remainder of the year. With Viic and Napoli back in the lineup, they need to start winning series to turn this around. They need to win 5 of the next six series or something like that to get back to .500 and be in a position to challenge. If they are in the same spot in r weeks, they might as well start loading up the truck and start planning for next season. The first to go should be Peavy and Drew, but I don't think that they can get more than a bucket of spit for either of them. If they are not going to go balls to the wall for Lester in FA, they should move him too instead of playing some sort of disingenuous game in the press that they want to keep him when they don't want to pay they price. I'd like to have a Lamborghini, but It's not in my budget so I don't go around telling friends and family that I am trying to by a Lamborghini. They should have an pretty good idea of how much it will take to sign him and whether that is in their budget. If they are going to let him walk, get something for him other than a draft pick. Cut Ross. Bring up Vasquez. Get Doubs healthy and if he has a couple of good games trade him. Oh and take that Lame horse Buchhoz behind the barn and shoot him. Enough of hm already. Has he pitched more than 2 complete seasons for us? Enough already. Anyway, they should wait about 3 weeks before having a sale.

After 63 games, the Sox winning percentage ranks 13 of 15th in the league. There's no denying it. This is not a good team. Everything else is a rationalization or an excuse. I wonder if any team has ever won a world championship sandwiched between 2 sub .500 seasons. Bizarre.

It looks like they are just going through the motions tonight.

Norris should not be shutting us down.

We are paying him $3 million more than we would have paid Dempster for the same results.

3 HRs -- way to go Peavy!
