    I wonder what the total deal was? How much did the Sox have to eat? Looks like 3.8 mil. Such a deal already!

    Maybe if his leg was hanging by a thread. Sometimes they just continue to play. He did eventually come out with the rout. Who knows? I'm just speculating. This season I am always prepared for the worst.

    Have not heard anything yet on Holt. My guess is that he has some unquantified damage to his knee. Which sucks because he is one of the players to watch on this wretched team. Unless it is a very slight sprain, my guess is that he will not be much of a contributor for the balance of the year. It sucks to sound like Jacko. I think Pedroia is really done for this year, too. Last night Shilling said that while talking with Pedroia he saw the injured area on his leg and there was a lot of discoloration. That indicates hemorrhaging. I'm no expert by any means. But that sounds very bad. I doubt that it heals fully by the end of the season. Going forward, that injury is suspect. It could effect how Pedroia plays next year and beyond. Hammy injuries blow.

    Obviously Swihart is nowhere near a finished product AT the plate. He was brought up too soon because of need. Ideally he could return to AAA for some further work on his hitting. But now I am willing to concede that he will flail sometimes at the plate while with the big boys. Might as well keep him up here to learn how to hit real MLB pitching. His game behind the plate is obviously nowhere near as advanced as many here believed it to be. The kid was an infielder and he is very athletic. I say bite the bullet and put him at 1st. He should be able to play reasonably well. Brock Holt did it. Is Holt a better athlete? Fatboy is not likely to be moved, sadly.

    At least Cass Elliot could sing really, really well. This lump of lard is not good at anything right now and is not likely to improve. Unfortunately, as you have said, it is not likely that fatso gets moved this year.

    Just about everyone at that level is a gamble. Reading what others have read and written about is useless for the most part. Progression and success at several levels is a better way of guessing that a young player will translate to success in MLB. This kid is no different. Either he makes it or he does not.

    WTF. Banhammer time.

    I think putting either Fatboy or Hanley at first will end in disaster. Neither has the mobility to cover that position. Throws would end up near the tarp every day. I still say moving Swihart to 1st if Nap is dumped is worth investigating. He will not be a catcher for his entire career anyway if his offense is legit. Get rid of Fatboy somehow and move Hanley to 3rd until he is DH. Go with Vasquez and Hannigan behind the plate for 2016. Obviously there are no guarantees that this would work out. Like everything else the dopes in the FO have tried. Getting those two "big bats" and locking them up for 4-5 years was a real boob maneuver. It handcuffs the roster unless the Sox decide to eat large chunks of mullah.

    David Ross threw an 8 pitch 1-2-3 inning of relief and the homered when he came up. This house sho gone crazy.

    The people who "projected" our outfield to be improved were dead wrong. Graig never did make the grade as was strongly suggested. Victorino was not healthy for most of the season and can't seem to go back to back now. Goldie Locks has sucked ass in left field. He has not even been the vaunted "Replacement Level". Castillo has been edging toward bust rather than being a frequent contributor. A 72 Mil rookie that can not stay on the field. This is yet another of the Sox roster building failures. To me, it's inexcusable.
  11. Spudboy
    They need to s*** or get off the pot with JBJ. He is mauling AAA. Castillo is nowhere near MLB ready according to the experts that I have heard discuss him. He needs to remain in AAA to learn how to play baseball, one of them said. As I said, the outfield is still a mess. Hanley did not change anything. He sucks at one phase of the game. Right field is still a black hole as well. Nothing has changed for the better since last year. At least Betts continues to improve.
  12. Spudboy
    Series win too. Wooooopie!!!
  13. Spudboy
    Nice throw Fatboy.
  14. Spudboy
    Good. Then he can retire and Goldie Locks can be DH.
  15. Spudboy
    Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!1!!!1!1111 Yeah I don't need to be reminded that I no longer live in Newton. The aggregate IQ in this town is 78. Excluding me, of course.

    Papi en fuego!
  17. Spudboy
    Or you could pull a Trump and post it here so we can all go Jerky Boys on him. That would be great fun for all involved!

    It's the high quality Devil's Lettuce.

    The outfield remains a mess. No one is discussing this at all.
  20. Spudboy
    Ted you need to tell Fred that MVP misses him.
  21. Spudboy
    Are you watching a Yankee game now?
  22. Spudboy
    I have my moments.
  23. Spudboy
    You are making a lot of friends tonight.
  24. Spudboy
