Rocco = another failed Theo experiment. I hope he gets fired.
-
Love the Kelvin and Hobbes Avatar.
-
I do not hate him - I appreciate what he has done for us in the past. He simply does not have a place in this team otherthan back-up catcher ( generally back-up catchers have better defense with similar offense). It is not about him - I hate paying anyone for past performances.
-
So Why is AL teams are way better than NL teams and pitchers like Smoltz and Penny look like Aces in NL?
-
When did Theo last make a good trade or free agent sign? As much credit he gets for homegrown player development ( should he?) - he has totally sucked as a GM. 2006 - Red Sox season failed becuase they did not get Abreau and Lidle from the Phillies - and let the Yankees get them. Theo then said "We are not the Yankees". Next off-season he signed Lugo and Drew to ridiculous contracts. From WMP to Gagne - he has done one mistake after another but still gets a free pass from the Sox fans. He has failed the Sox multiple times and lost to the Yankees from Damon to Texiera. When he has won ( Matsuzaka) - his move did not pan out. The only trade that has benifited the Sox since 2004 is Becket + Lowell and I think if Theo was in charge - we do not make that trade. Get rid of Theo now and throw out Tito as well. We need to do complete rebuild.

Call me crazy - if Papa Jack is with us WMP will be playing for the Red Sox now. Magadan was a looser in San Diego - I don't know why we appointed him. Papa Jack was the scapegoat for injury ridden 2006 season - that's all. The offensive down-slide pretty much started with the appointment of Magadan - not a co-incidence.
-
Bring back Papa Jack.

How many games will the Red Sox be back come Monday morning

This team reminds me of 2009 Mets. Only worse - because Mets have most of their starting line-up on DL while this team has most regular position players playing. So this team will not get any better. -
Do not take it in a wrong sense - but don't you work? I see you here all the time. I do not get much chance to post - luckily I am working from home today.
-
In theory yes. But practically it is impossible. Because unfortunately performers are Primadonna players whom a team needs to win. The trick is managing the Primadonna players so they can keep their act off the field.
-
You are intentionally interpreting it the wrong way. I am saying go for the performers - you are saying go for the cancers. In any profession - a skilled person will come up with a baggage. The only guy who will not give any problem is someone with little and less ability - because he knows the rope is little for him. It is the job of a manager to manage egos - I thought Tito is one of the best in doing that? Unlike Football - baseball is more of a sport of individual players and not the team. Our team will not compete unless they get the best performers and keep them happy.
-
Noone likes to be associated with loosers. Not the players - not even the fans. I understand that you might have diff. opinion - but that's how most people will feel.
-
When acquiring a player - all a GM should care about is performance on the field. So if I were a GM - I will gladly take A-Rod if his performance does not get impacted by his diva act of the field. Winning is the best medicine. The players with the best of attitude become toxic in a loosing environment.
-
I won't - he has shown great promises - but not the consistency to be compared to Doc Halladay yet.

Time to move past trade deadline and talk waivers. Reagrding another OF - I wonder if the Nats will put Dunn on waivers and we get a chance to get him. I am still a big Dunn fan and was hoping they will make a run at him after they failed to get Tex. Considering Ortiz's decline and Bay is almost out of the door - I will not mind signing Dunn at all in long term. Dunn will be a good replacement for Manny at least in terms of power ( unfortunately - also may be in terms of outfield defense). Again - Power is a big need of this team in post Manny/Ortiz era - we are just hoping Lars pans out and he is not making any splash this year. Anything else we might be interested in? I think a 4th/5th starter will be nice - but not sure if we will get anything good.

7/24 vs. Baltimore Orangebirds

They are handing out offensive player of the week award? Is this a joke? -
This needs a thread?
-
Our offensive porwer is now same as that of the Mets. Question is how much will we slide in standing.
-
The Ranger anouncer said 'Big Pop-up' . That was the pop-up from our Big Papi. I tht that was funny.
-
Tek has been 1 of the pleasant surprise this year - I told you before.
-
Absolutely - specially when FO and fan base refuses to acknowledge the problem.
-
I am surprised there is even a debate that Tex is making a huge difference between standing. I mean you can argue if Tex deal will be good in long term - this year he is making all the difference.
