  1. Vasquez has been optioned to Pawtucket. Hannigan activated. Buch to the pen.
  2. Overlooked in discussions of improving this team for a play-off run is the need to upgrade our utility player. We should try to get someone who can hit home runs and make deadly throws.

    "I did not know that."
  4. You were not alone, either.
  5. Bingo. And that is wise use of assets.

    You know how Thor is my boy. Would he look good in a Sox uni or what?

    You are my favorite closet Mets fan.
  8. I completely agree with this post. The thing is, Farrell does his job in the Boston market where every minute detail of even the seemingly least significant matters is scrutinized and dissected for days and even weeks and months. Once one thing happens it becomes a theme and all of a sudden you have "Francoma" mindsets. Farrell is no where near as inept as his many detractors would like to believe. I, like most ardent fans, scratch my head at what he does ( and in the case of allowing Wright to continue ) does not do. Unfortunately once he began to receive criticism it all began to snowball. Now he is a goner. Where is Eric Wedge when we need him?
  9. I remember that you recommended that place. I went there once. It was uncharacteristically good for North Attleboro.
  10. I'm in "North". I have never been in that Friendly's. Thanks for the warning. I think it is in Attleboro.
  11. It's good to have Holt back. He jump starts the offense.

    Too bad it was Lester that brought the suck.
  13. I'm still waiting for O'Sullivan to turn into a pumpkin. The Sox have gotten their moneys worth from him today. 5 innings with no runs. Of course Farrell will push his luck right up to the 7 run rule.
  14. Cool. Of course I am now obsessing about what I would cook for us. Rib Eye, Green beans a la Pierre, and Zitti Salad. Followed by Strawberry Shortcake.
  15. ?????? I don't get it. I imagine that it is some funny s*** but I just don't get it.
  16. I have always maintained that Buck still has value to other teams. That is why I have advocating trading him for about two years.
  17. It would be pretty f***ing cool to have a700, cp176, and MVP78 over for a game and discussion.
  18. Not a porch but I have an outside sitting area that is shaded. Plus, you are welcome to visit at any time. Just give me some notice.
  19. Speaking of Wright, is anyone concerned about him pitching a lot of innings? He has pitched as much as 140+ only once. Will fatigue hamper his effectiveness in the second half?
  20. I deliberately omitted mention of sign and trade ( an idea I was on board with ) because that did not seem to be the Sox intent. Just a fans wish. Again. It was a bad decision when it happened, not just in hind sight.
  21. Moon has posted about Matt Moore in another thread, I believe. Now I have no idea why he has not performed closer to what he was before TJS but he is locked up for super cheap money. Contrast one year of Buch at $13 mil with about $13. mil of Moore for about 2.5 years. Which is a better value? Which is the lesser risk?
  22. "It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."
