Arizona is in for a beating in Stillwater tonight

hopefully bucholz will be alright for 2012

Spitball the #3 is hardly solidified Eric Bedard is . .... well, Eric Bedard And the rumblings around Kenmore Square are saying he's having some knee difficulty

thats good .... LOL

don't lose any sleep over how much money he's making you don't have to sign the check every month so don't worry about it as far as his level of play.... thats worth worrying about people are getting all up in arms about john lackeys #'s and it has some validity to it. watch the games when he pitches a little closer. throw the numbers out the window. since his early days with California, he's always been a guy who's gotten in his fair share of trouble. how lackey overcame this in the past WAS BY MAKING BIG PITCHES IN BIG SITUATIONS. he's not doing that now. couple that with the fact that he is getting in a lot more trouble, i.e., behind in a lot of counts, PLUS the fact that when he misses his spots he's missing over the middle of the plate on a ridiculously consistent level you have a recipe for disaster. the guy would be defendable if guys were hitting good pitches but thats simply not the case most times and thats why he sucks. i try to keep a general rule in my life that i dont publicly speak positively about anyone on that ****ing team that makes their home on 161st & River about 190 miles southwest of here but i'll make an exception for the moment to illustrate a point. mariano rivera, in addition to his sick cutter, has been successful on such a consistent basis HE DOESN'T MAKE MISTAKES OVER THE MIDDLE OF THE PLATE. compare that to a guy like lackey who couldn't hit a corner if it was the size of roseanne barr's ass and you can see the distinction between the two. that being said .... obviously comparing lackey to rivera is not a fair comparison for lackey but its the most obvious comparison i can think of to illustrate the point im trying to make and i still hope rivera gets hit by a bus crossing the street

you're kidding right?? aceves hasn't started in a game in over two years. and 98% of his appearances at the major league level are in relief and his career ERA is 3 So to answer this question . . .

they just EVACUATED the stadium at Notre Dame? WTF

auburn will obviously suck this year BC too apparently, getting handled at home by f***ing Northwestern today. its a good thing NW has 5,000-6,000 fans there today or the place woulda been empty

The "REAL" ECW was very, very special

nothing like a 10-0 drubbing to take the steam out of a discussion and me TMW is tired leaving at 10:00 AM in the morning for the Boston College / Northwestern football game at the Heights so like one shepherd said to the other shepherd .... it's time to get the flock outta here good night all, ellie mae, wells, john boy & all the other Waltons

hahaha, true, ellie mae, true you've earned the right the years have quelled a lot of my former rage and 2004 took the "bitter" out of the "bitter hate filled prick"

you called me a HFP though

are you really in Mexico, iOrtiz?

LOL

home field only matters in football and basketball i'll take good pitching, timely hitting and solid up the middle defense over home field any day of the week and twice on sunday

what about ralph houk, Wells?

d-money - you're 100% right its all about getting SOME quality starts from the pitchers lester, beckett have expectations that most of their starts should be of quality when you start getting into the 4 and 5 guys in a rotation, we should expect SOME quality starts, and thats what the red sox get from the 4 and 5 starters, some quality starts. if you expect 7 IP 5H 2R outta the four and five guys every night then start watching Curling or find a good valium dealer, it'll be a lot easier on your nerves

Michael Bowden is one of Theo's "guys" He's had a hard-on for Bowden since they drafted him at 18 yrs old He's been one of the guys, right or wrong, who gets excluded from most serious trade discussions cuz the Boy Wonder sees something in him. He's only 25 yrs old, I think But his window isnt gonna be open much longer

there's no reason to drink the Kool Aid, with any team, but the incessant bitching and complaining over a team thats THIRTY GAMES OVER .500 speaks volumes

dude take a xanax who cares if they lose the division? barring a catastrophic 78-esque collapse, by either the sox or yankees, both teams are going to the playoffs. the division title? the AL East crown? it carries as much weight as the British Crown does in the US - who gives a f***
