  1. The perfecto is gone. The no-no could be gone too.
  2. That could be scored as a hit. OMG, the rookie must feel like crap.
  3. You are not sticking around to see if Darvish gets the no-no or perfecto.
  4. The Rangers always seem to be a thorn in our side.
  5. The pitcher from the first half of 2013 is long gone for Buch. I haven't seen any glimpse of that this season.
  6. Buch puts them on and AJ is supposed to keep throwing them out.
  7. Management let Dice K pitch in that stupid World Baseball Classic hurting his arm and ruining the career of Japan's National Treasure.
  8. Two runners gunned down at second base in the same inning? What the hell is that!
  9. I am not used to seeing this many guys get thrown out on the bases by our catchers.
  10. Come on Buch. Start pitching like the first half of last season.
  11. Weep for the present. The future always holds out hope. Presently, we are in the midst of generations of morons who know nothing other than texting, tweeting, and facebooking about the banalities of their lives as if they are advancing the causes of society.
  12. George Brett made a good run at it one year.
  13. .500!! Yes, upward and onward!
  14. Your whole budget went on pitching. Even so most budgets couldn't handle all of that pitching. It's a good strategy in that many leagues are weighted toward pitching.
  15. Snark is not humor except to those on the giving end of it. Give that a rest.
  16. Of course the snarky *******s sharpen their knives when someone has an opinion that differs from theirs. Do you ever get tired of being a jackass.
  17. IMO, it has clearly been a single factor(emphasis added- there are other factors) that has disrupted the entire lineup. It is taking a long time for the lineup to adjust to his absence. I don't think the ideal lineup for the Sox is to have Pedroia batting leadoff, but no one else has laid claim to the spot. Pedroia has his biggest impact in the 3 hole. The best thing that can happen for the 2014 Red Sox offense would be for Sizemore or Bradley to step forward and show offensive consistency that could be used in the lead off spot.
  18. I wouldn't put Bradley in a category with Dewey Evans. Bradley has a strong arm. Dewey had a howitzer. Players just did not go first to third on him. I don't know what the metrics show, but I wouldn't be surprised if they showed that Victorino is the better OFer than Bradley. I always thought Victorino was the best OFer on the 2013 squad. People forget about Darren Lewis. He might have been the best Boston OFer since Dewey. Since Spring Training it has been frequently discussed how Farrell was having trouble filling the lead off spot. The loss of Ellsbury from that spot has had a cascading effect in that it has forced Pedroia to lead off -- a position that he has not thrived in. Pedroia is one of our top 2 hitters. He should be batting 3rd in front of Ortiz. Moving him to the lead off spot has disturbed the dynamic of our lineup. It's pretty obvious IMO.
  19. Bradley will be fine. The problem is that he is not playing LF flanking Ellsbury. The difference in this team is the loss of the catalyst at the top of the lineup.
  20. Sizemore with a big night for the win. Thank goodness we didn't have to see Bogey bat with RISP in that inning. Painful.
