    http://redsox.bostonherald.com/redSox/view.bg?articleid=183915 Crisp is still feeling the aftereffects of his fractured finger. Beckett has a respiratory ailment that kept him out of practice. Tavarez is bitching about wanting to remain a starter. and, the number one thing coming out of this article is: Joel Pineiro and Matt Clement have the same facial hair growth pattern. That can only be bad news. http://redsox.bostonherald.com/images/redSox/pinero02202007.jpg

    I told them that my boy scaffolds said that their top 50 to this point is a joke and they are stealing money from the subscribers. And, I got banned.

    he says his legs are sore from running, and it is nothing to worry about. In other news, Carl Pavano was placed on the 60 day DL with a broken vagina.

    why is there always a day off after opening day? Its like giving you the best gift in the world then taking it away for a day.
  5. jacksonianmarch
    and like I said, the yankees one is VERY good and it seems to be in line with most other sites. The sox one is a joke.
  6. jacksonianmarch
    i just sent a scathing email to them. They suck pretty hard. Diehard magazine is a f***ing joke.
  7. jacksonianmarch
    good point. He hadnt heard his name in a week or so, hence he had to get it out there.
  8. jacksonianmarch
    I find it interesting how the sox media rides him so hard. He puts up the numbers in the regular season and the posteseason and still plays more games than anyone on the team for the most part. Who cares if he demands star treatment, he is as close to a sure thing as they come.

    How many bullpen pitcher crossing the 35 mark in age and coming off serial worsening seasons typically find it again? Answer: not many. For every Jose Mesa and Roberto Hernandez there is 10 Jeff Nelsons and Mike Stantons. Timlin and Donnelly are both aging and are coming off career worst seasons. Timlin's being more heinous than others. Those two guys are who the bullpen will rely on. Those two guys will be the breaking point of the pen.
  10. jacksonianmarch
    how could one even make a case for the rest of your bullpen. It isnt just the closer spot and you know it. Timlin, Donnelly, Romero all had years showing some serious decline. Tavares was useless in the pen. Who else is there? Okajima? A complete unknown who sounds more like a loogy than a full inning reliever. There is nobody who you could look to with any sort of confidence and say he can hold the fort. Worst of all, you'll have to start with Timlin closing and then have to take him away from your MR equation. The entire BP from top to bottom is s***. Not one guy out there had a good season last yr, except for Donnelly, but he trended seriously in the wrong direction.

    I know what INS was, I was just busting your balls.

    I would like to see how ST goes before I make any statement on the issue. I think he'd help, but if he comes back, he might stunt Pavano's audition as trade bait and would certainly hold a spot that Hughes might be holding. But if ST is a disaster and the first month of the season has the yankees winning games 11-10 rather than having solid pitching, then I'll change my tune.
  13. jacksonianmarch
    what is the IMS?
  14. jacksonianmarch
    truer words have never been spoken. And animal, I am by no means a sox fan, but I hate these condescending prick *******s in the media. I like the writers who give it to you straight. No chocolate coating, nopretty ******** and no conspiracy theorists either. NY has its share I'd like to have "boingy boingy" done to them (for reference, see Mr. Crunchy's joke in the bad jokes thread). Lupica starts my list. That guy makes me want to hurt someone.
  15. jacksonianmarch
    we all know thumper is a switch hitter.
  16. jacksonianmarch
    that is true, good point.

    http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/articles/2007/02/18/baseball_season_means_a_trip_to_wondering_land_with_manny/ why does this stooge still have a job? Here is one inaccuracy with the link above. Shaughnessy says that there has been no word from Manny or his agent. This is quite the contrary. Genske said just a few days ago that Manny is happy and will be reporting on time. Nice detective work Dan, but you never were about getting a story right. You were always about stirring the pot of hatred. "Elvis" Matsuzaka. Curt "The big blowhard" Schilling. Is he a sox fan?
  18. jacksonianmarch
    the question is, whether his end of season struggles are going to carry over or were they a result of fatigue. He had a very poor peripheral yr for him. The hit rate was bad, and when you have been well below a hit per inning for your career and all of a sudden around 40yrs old and post injury, you are well above a hit per inning, it tells you that the stuff is starting to fade. If the rumors of him being grossly out of shape are true, and he continues to decline, he will not be worth 13 mil. Not even close. This is the dilemma. And with Lester being slated for the 2008 rotation and Wakefield as consistently average as they come at a low price, you have to be prudent and see if Schilling is declining. Plus, if he proves he is healthy and the schill of old, Theo wont let him walk. If he doesnt prove that then theo would be smart by waiting.
  19. jacksonianmarch
    I can agree there, but that is long relief. The sox need a closer and the current cast of characters does not look good for it. The current setup men are aging and coming off career worst performances. The only thing that would make sense would be Paps to the closers role.
  20. jacksonianmarch
    and moving wake to the pen does nothing for you. Wakefield as a reliever is a horrible idea. He is way too unpredictable to handle any hgh stress innings, and that is where the sox problems will lie. The only way to fill all needs would be to move Paps back to closing, but you risk his career by doing that. And ya, the FO has a ton of money. But they will not go past Clemens if they get him.
  21. jacksonianmarch
    I am of the belief that Hughes could match Clemens production in the AL East this yr, potentially surpass it.
  22. jacksonianmarch
  23. jacksonianmarch
    There is no way the yankees get outbid. If Clem goes to the sox, it is for nostalgia.
  24. jacksonianmarch
    I agree. I am actually quietly hoping he doesnt come back so we can see what Hughes can do.

    http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20070216&content_id=1804294&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb he says that he is 20% going to return. This is in contrast to what he said last month when he said he was going to come back because he was failing at retirement. I honestly could see him retiring, now that I think about it. Last yr he had the carrot of the WBC to get himself into shape, but rumor has it that he is pretty far from being game ready. Maybe he started kicking in the workouts and noticed he was far behind.
