Gagne would have made this team so much better had he been given the gun 2 months ago.

I hope we don't loose him.

I don't think its just crisp, drew, and lugo. MDC hasn't been good; Gagne, well, him sucking was expected. SP hasn't been all that good besides Beckett. Ortiz/Manny/Lowell are the only guys doing damage in the lineup. The big problem besides luck/pitching is not getting key hits. We can't get a hit when it matters.

Um, WHERE IS ELLSBURY. Jesus f***ing Christ. Play the god damned kid who will spark this lifeless team. Has Tito just forgot about this kid?

There were more breaks/luck going way Guardians way and smacking the Sox in the face. The DP ball killed the game. The error/bobbled ball by Youk. I loved the infield hit at the end of the game. A hard swing, but the ball died on the grass down the 3rd baseline. That was a perfect symbol of the series thus far. Hopefully momentum and luck swings our side for the series. But one more break for the indian, one more unlucky bounce for us could end our season. Fight.

Riverside, all that I said there was assuming that I had NOT signed JD Drew. Now that we have him, of course he isn't going anywhere.

And again, I'll admit that many of us are quick to call out Theo. Its just our nature as fans for such a demanding team. We want a WS every year. I don't want to sound like a Yankee fan, but really, thats what its about. No GM is perfect, but its just annoying that we will most likely have to stick with Drew for at least another year. Some of us get caught up in that. I'll admit it. Should Theo realistically loose his job? I don't have the answer, I don't think I could honestly answer that question. But he has made mistakes and should be criticized for them. But if he learns from them, I guess thats all that's important. Tito, however, I believe should possibly loose his job. I say possibly because I don't know how he manages the team off the field and I have heard he does a good job, but I don't think he is very good at in-game management. I don't agree on how he uses the pen, or his decision making in tough situations. There are many examples of "mistakes" he has made, I think there are plenty of debatable moves he has/hasn't made just in this series. Thats it for now. I'm really going to bed now...

There are many moves I would have made. First would have been to keep Ocab. There was no reason to let him go. Assuming I took control of the team after they let him go and we had acquired Renteria, I would have kept him on the team even after his off-year. It was a knee-jerk reaction trading him after one bad season. Lets see. In July of the '06 season I would have traded some youth (not the main guys) for pitching depth and another bat. That would have possibly prevented our collapse. I was soo pissed when Theo did NOTHING while the Yankees got Abreu and destroyed us. I wouldn't have signed either Lugo or Drew. I wouldn't need a SS since I would have kept Ocab, or Renteria if I came after that. For RF I would have either stuck with Trot for 1 more year and waited (the CF FA market for this off-season is deep) or signed an available FA for a 1-2 year deal (team option). I would have gone after Dice-K. I agree with that move. I would have signed Jima. I would have gone after Gagne, I liked that move. I would release Gagne after this season. I would not resign Schilling. I would look to add another Starter (FA or trade (FA SP is shallow). You always need a lot of depth at SP. I would look to add another arm to the pen. I'd look strongly at MDC moving into the setup role if he is ready, if not Jima is fine another year. I would go get a CF (I would still go after Andrew Jones even after his off year. I would probably focus on Torii Hunter tough). I would then probably have the FA acquisition start in CF and move Ellsbury to RF. (unless the FA agreed to move to LF, but thats more of a manager's decision). I would pursue Arod if he opts out. If he doesn't, or he doesn't want to play for Boston, I resign Lowell. Thats off the top of my head right now, I'll go a bit more indepth after a bit of research tomorrow afternoon. I'm going to bed. On a side note: I don't think Theo is the worst GM ever, but he has made his share of mistakes, some big ones I believe (Drew), but the fact is that he is the GM for the Red Sox and he is held to the highest of standards. Oh and I left out some more: Damon is a tough decision. It is really based on scouting. If scouting truely believes he will suck after 2 years of the deal, than I think you have to let him go. If your not confident in that, I would probably have to resign him, if anything, to keep him away from NY. I'll be honest though and say that I can't make a perfectly educated decision as I don't have all the resources/facts right now. But I certainly don't criticize Theo for letting him go. Millar, thats an obvious one. Let him go. Bill Mueller, I loved the guy, but it was his time to go. The Beckett trade was a good trade. I hated letting Hanley go, but it was obviously a good trade for us. I would have made that trade. Ok thats enough for now, really. I'll go more indepth tomorrow.

Anyone not named JD Drew.

We have a CF, his name I Jacoby Ellsbury. We have a 4OF, his name is Coco Crisp. What we need is a RF.

f*** that. There is no such thing as "destined". They haven't won s*** yet.

Ellsbury should be leading off. We need a spark. Ellsbury is the spark.

Ellsbury needs to take Coco's place. And Keilty needs to take Drews place.

You can't compare him to Tek. Tek isn't here for his bat, he's here for his work behind the plate and his game preparation with the pitching staff. Thats just not fair only considering his hitting.

I'll take Damon and his 15.5 million a year. Overpaid is JD Drew. I want my idiots back.

Time to become the anxious, nervous, angry, waiting to explode, hoping for good fortune Red Sox fans we always were.

f***. This sucks. Beckett, we need you big time buddy. Be the Ace Stopper you are. And offense, please start clicking. ... f*** you commentators, the Guardians are going anywhere yet. There are still games to be f***ing played.

NO NO NO. Come on guys. Fight. Come on. Please. Come on Coco. Get on base. Please. I beg you.

Mother's Day Miracle Reprise. Please.

I can't look at Theo anymore without the image of a dumb monkey running our team popping into my head.

Come on!

We need the Mother's Day Miracle mojo.

Tip of the hat to Lester. Alright, f*** this luck and the f***ing Guardians. Come on Sox, make them earn this win. Don't roll over here. Fight these last 3 outs.

I wonder which is worse, watching a ball you crushed (a feat), or throwing at someone's head out of jealousy...

I hope this luck changes soon.
