WOW, that ball wasnt even close to the zone

It makes no sense. There are three lines. It's in fair territory compared to the yellow line on the padding, but is foul compared to the foul pole. Crazy

/sarcasm

Burnett is so f***ing bipolar, it's ridiculous. He started out this game with 3 amazing innings. Hard fastball, biting curve, change, sinker, everything was perfect. Now, he's buttf***ing the game again.

This was what it was like to be a sox fan pre Theo.

The kid isnt ready. He did just turn 25, but this yr was the first time he sniffed AAA, and he did well. But he has a couple things weighing him down. He's effectively been in 2 levels now, as this was his first yr in AAA. AND, he's almost 20 innings past his career high. So, he's inexperienced and he's likely tired. Not a good combo

And eating a Tony Luke's cheesesteak or pork sandwich doesnt hurt either

If you lose Theo, expect a significant dropoff in production. The sox havent had a better 9 year run since the early days of baseball. He's revolutionized how a large market club should run in terms of farm system incorporation as well as big ticket signings. If you plan on ridding yourself of him, you need a better alternative first. And I dont think there is one. Theo went for broke this yr, gutting his upper farm system to get AdGon and then replenishing it with his recent drafts. The problem is that he went all talent and less proximity since 2009 and a lot of those kids are still a ways away. His hope was to bridge the gap with having all-star players at all positions. The problem wasnt in the planning of his lineups and rotations, it was in his contingencies. He may have gotten complacent or awestruck when looking at the team he was fielding. He may have even been cocky, but his plan was solid. Everyone picked the sox to go to the WS, including me. He didnt plan for injuries, a lot of key players went down, especially in the rotation. But do you take a second injury plagued season in a row and lay that at the feet of Theo, at least enough to cost him his job? I wouldn't. If Theo is let go, he'll have a job offer that night. Hell, he might leave anyway. Just remember where you were before him, remember that he has the balls to make the big move, and for the most part, he's been the best GM in Boston history. Letting him go now because the conditioning staff or the standard s*** luck quotient was high is a poor idea. I for one hope you rid yourselves of Theo. I'd hope he wants a yr or two off from being a GM and he'd join our upper levels as a special assistant. It would be awesome

Garbage lineup today. We have the twinks then all sox or rays. No let up here

AdGon dealing with shoulder weakness in surgically repaired shoulder

The roster spot is actually important, though. I have a feeling they let him walk, and try to groom a kid in the swing role like the Yanks have done with Noesi. Wake's been quite possibly the most overrated starter of all time. ERA hasn't been under 4 since 2002 and his ERA hasn't been under 5 since 2009. He's now posted 5 seasons of a 5+ ERA in Boston, and lately his endurance and conditioning have gone to s***.

There is no earthly way that the Yankees get outbid on C.C. None. I actually have a feeling, but am not entirely sure, that the yanks won't be outbid on Wilson, either. We don't have needs in the pen or on offense, and we do have some dead weight coming off the books (Posada, Igawa, etc)

Was at citizens bank park tonite and watched the phils clinch. Kinda cool

Yankees win, thahaaaaaaa yankees win!!

The yanks suck today, s***

Couldn't watch the games last night, but the line wasn't pretty. CC has to get it out of his system before the playoffs. We need him

Cecil scratched, McGowan in

Station, for a second I wad wondering who the new kid named Ghost was.

Lol at Jenks being the best contract of the offseason

I'm half Dutch, so I need to make the trip back sometime

get banned dick

you're facing off against one of the best pitchers in the league. Should be a good one

Tampa is shitstomping the sox. They just rolled over and died today.

You need to have a few MiLB options and a few fringe big league options outside of your 1-5. The Yankees leaned on their 2 MiLB signings and their kid came up huge in Nova. They had depth at AAA in Noesi, Phelps, Warren, Mitchell and eventually Banuelos and Betances. The sox had Doubront and Weiland. Weiland looks like meat right now, who knows how he turns out, but he isnt ready right now and Doubront is a reliever. Their depth is gone. Thats where Theo failed. He doesnt have a few options in the minors to call up for a spot start or more. And he had a veteran who could have helped who he let fly

how can a batter decide where his broken bat head goes?
