  1. It is astounding to me that the this team is 5 games off the pace of the atrocity that was 2012 through 50 games. The Blue Jays seem to be following our path but one year later. They signed a ton of talent last year and bombed like we did in 2012. This year, their guys are performing and they have some spark and spirit like we didi in 2013. Buehrle is pitching like early 2012 Buchholz.
  2. Was our record this bad after 50 games in 2012?
  3. Victorino is always banged up. He never seems fully healthy. He has the body of a player much older than his true age. He is critical to this team's success.
  4. I wouldn't want him to coach my local college. LOL!
  5. I was just wondering if we had a 9 game losing streak in 2012. I am away on vacation with limited internet so I couldn't look it up for myself. It's just shocking to me that this team is in a losing streak longer than the 2012 team.
  6. 9 in a row and counting. This is ugly and painful. Did we have a losing streak this long under Bobby V?
  7. Last year we never had a 4 game losing streak. This season we are at 8 and counting. Bad teams lose 8 in a row. Teams that win their divisions don't have those kind of losing streaks.
  8. XB has looked like a big league hitte the last 3 games
  9. This team ia playing like a team that will be a non-factor this season. They are.on a path to oblivion.
  10. If 2013 was an aberration, it was like a beautiful dream. It would be embarrassing to sandwich a World Championship between two sub .500 seasons. In 47 years since 1967, the Sox have had a very small handful of sub .500 seasons. Most of them were under Butch Hobson's tenure.
  11. More hits surrendered by Buch and here comes Encarnacion.
  12. Runners in scoring position and 2 outs. Just put it on a tee for our boys. They don't have a chance.
  13. Xb has been stroking the ball the last 2 games.
  14. 4 runs and he has gotten 6 outs. He is terrible.
  15. He limited the damage, but it is still 2-0 after the top of the second.
  16. He made a good pitch with the changeup and he went back to his nothing fastball resulting in a hit and a run.
  17. Buch is all over the place -- not close to the zone.
  18. Buch has become a very hittable pitcher. He used to miss a lot of bats. That is no longer the case. Great! He walks the #9 man to load the bases with 1 out.
  19. Sizemore got a great jump. He still has good speed.
  20. We might as well bring up Rubby and see what he has got. If he bombs in 2 straight starts, bring up Barnes.
  21. What are David Ross's numbers since he has been with the Red Sox? Last season, he deserved some slack due to the concussion issue and we were producing runs like crazy so we didn't need him to hit. This season he continues to look like an old softball player trying to hit MLB pitching. He looks like he is washed up. Why not bring up Vasquez who looks like the best defensive catcher that the Red Sox have had since Tony Pena. There is nothing to lose. He couldn't hit much worse than Ross who hasn't been off the Interstate since we got him. If Vasquez completely bombs, give someone else a chance. Ross has set the bar very low.
  22. I hope that he gets claimed.
  23. And those numbers are no better whether there have been runners on second and third or first and second. He gave away two outs for a team that has trouble hitting. Also, last night was not the night for the manager to decide to manufacture runs. It was a high scoring game in which we were down big and we were hitting the ball very well all night long. It was just baffling.
