I hope we fire Tito and let Farrell take over.

I agree if you mean Ellsbury isn't going to come in and be 1993 Ken Griffey Jr. He isn't Moses. He wouldn't havewon any of these 3 games on his own. But he probably would have helped- Yeah- he could struggle- I just don't see how he could possibly be worse than what we've seen, and Ellsbury's track record only helps this case

We're talking about the playoffs here right? And why Ellsbury isn't playing? and the new argument is because of defense? I'm just wondering if anyone has seen a single play where they could honestly say "Ellsbury wouldnt have made that play" I can only think of one, and that would be the double play that Coco hit into in game 3.

He could be worse defensively? You mean he could dive head first for a ball and watch it bounce behind him eliminating all hope of throwing out kenny lofton at home? Or would we be talking about Coco's cannon that hasn't even brought a throw to home yet on sac flies.....

Apologies for putting this in the wrong place.

I thought Wake would bomb, but he actually pitched well. If he hadnt tried to field that DP.... if youk caught the ball..... Wake's line looks bad but i thought he did ok.

Drew has gotten on base. He made it twice last night. How many times did coco reach base? That was a sweet double play he hit into last night. I called it before he even got into the batters box. I thought my brother was gonna shoot me.

That explains a lot- she was pretty transparent.

Hey- that sand said she was over 18, and she took it willingly. Granted she was a little on the hefty side, but i had been drinking all week, and the Walrus told me she was hot. And for the record I'm not butt f***ing her- its a modified form of doggy style. I'm good man- really busy but good- whats new?

I wouldn't say you sucked- you just weren't the best team, or even one of the top 2 or three in the AL Clemens really hurt you guys in Game 3. I know they won but if he pitches 5 or 6 then Hughes comes in last night instead of Mussina. Fixing the yankees isnt that tough- its called don't panic, don't fire cashman, and don't demand a WS next year, in a couple years you guys will be a force.

Please insert your best Sinatra voice and imitation- don't forget the rhythm- slow it way down so its just as annoying as that recording they play every damn night: Start spreadin the news, Joe's leaving today I wanna cry cuz I root for New York, New York Those overpaid punks, are longing to stray And Suzyn Waldman is a whore In New York, New York I wanna wake up In my brand new, yankee sheets And find i'm king of the fags Top of the queefs These hetero thoughts, are melting away I'll act real gay and then root for good ol' New York If I can take dick there, I'll take dick anywhere It's up in me, New York New York I want to wake up, in a city Thats full of fags And find I'm queer number one who roots for a team of total douchebags queer num-ber onnnnneeeeee Theeeeeeeese hetero thoughts, are melting away I'll take it in my mouth and root for good ol' New York And if I can take dick there, I'm gonna take dick everywhere Dicks inside me, in New York, NEEEW YOOOOOOOOORK!!!!!!! Sorry, its been a slow morning at work

Suzyn Waldman. What do you say about Suzyn Waldman? http://thesportshernia.typepad.com/blog/2007/05/suzyn_waldman_h.html Someone else said it, and I agree- Suzyn Waldman should be announcing WWE matches.

Thats not true Sean-o, dont forget the pitching aces of last year's St. Louis/NY NLCS..... Game 2 Carpenter v Maine Game 4 Reyes v Perez Remember what Jimmy V says- don't give up, don't ever give up There will always be a s***** pitching matchup out there. Wait until game 4 of the ALCS when its Lester/Wakefield v Byrd/Mussina I can't believe I forgot to look at the o/u yesterday- in fact I've been neglecting them all season in both sports. Hope all is well with the fam.

I know buddy I'm kidding- why do you think I miss hawk? The jokes don't work as well on you. Although I heard that Cleveland did tamp the field last night since Wang was pitching. How being a doctor treating you? My company was officially bought yesterday by a 20 Billion dollar data and information corporation that provides all of higher education and the banking systems with their data. Something tells me they know that I am posting on Talksox right now.....

MJ- Did you yell at yourself, sneak up behind yourself, and assault yourself back when you were a Red Sox fan? I miss Hawk.

Courtesy of Wikipedia- A douche is a device used to introduce a stream of water into the body for medical or hygienic reasons, or the stream of water itself. The word comes from the French language, in which its principal meaning is a shower (it is thus a notorious false friend encountered by non-native speakers of English; the phrase for vaginal douching is douche vaginale, meaning vaginal shower). The word can refer to the rinsing of any body cavity but usually applies to vaginal irrigation, rinsing of the vagina..... Given the above definition, my guesses for who is pleased by Michael Kay are either Suzyn Waldman, Michelle Damon, or Alex Rodriguez. ...and Sheffield's wife, where ever she may be. We miss you Mrs. Sheffield.

All i know is that it is NOT Jason Varitek. Honestly, I was upset when they walked Drew last night- one thing he CAN do is hit a sac fly. Varitek, for some reason, is absolutely awful at it. There are only a couple guys on our team that seem to understand the concept- Manny, Drew, Lugo are all good at it. Youk, Tek, Ortiz, and Pedroia are very bad at it, and don't seem to get its importance in one close situations. Or maybe the manager doesn't Youk has sucked since July.

Absolutely pathetic that he can't just put a ballin the air for a sac fly. That IS one thing that J.D. Drew is very good at.

He was scheduled to start but I believe he was a late scratch. That is unfortunate because the sox have a history of struggling against pitchers they haven't seen much. We own the Angels. Lackey's career numbers flat out suck against us. Finishing second to the tribe might actually be a very very good thing, as they could decide how many days their series is over and set up the schedule so that CC and Fausto BOTH pitch twice against the yanks.

There is a 0%, ZERO percent chance of a sox yanks ALDS.

Its absolutely BS. It doesn't put the best team in the field. The only positive side is the feeling of ease it allows the vets in slumps. Even that is a two sided coin- Coco didn't hit a thing for over a year until they had someone up to play his position. Sometimes a little pressure is a good thing. Tito will say "You go with who got you there" even though Delcarmen sure as hell got us there a lot more that Gagne and the 4 games he's directly responsible for losing. We would have clinched the division yesterday without him. It wouldn't surprise me if Okajima is sat down for at least the first series, and if we see pitchers swapping out from series to series.

Wake being a lock for the playoffs has nothing to do with performance- it has to do with our manager's willingness to suck a veteran off on national tv if the guy asks him to. Tito has ALWAYS been a veteran's manager and the proof is in the pudding with Schilling, Timlin, Wakefield, Schilling (twice for emphasis) and the notion that Jason Varitek is a pinch hitter/should not be pinch hit for. He's Joe Torre without the bullpen abuse. The only way Wake isn't on the roster is if the higher ups demand that he be sat down.

I do not want to see Roger Clemens on the Red Sox. If Raja comes to Boston he'll make 15 million + to post a high 3, low 4 era. And we sure as s*** know how he'll pitch against the yankees when we need him in September, and against the opposition in October. This is the AL East, not the NL Central. You need brass balls, not raisins.

SFOC- thanks a lot for running this.
