  1. Those are good numbers!!!!! No wonder the Sox hit so many HR and score so many runs!!!!
  2. Maybe so but who needs Ryan Howard? He was a .300 hitter two years ago. Now he is a .220 - .230 hitter with now power output. Maybe this is the new norm for him. Maybe not.
  3. I assume that the Dallas are is not under water like so much of Houston. I wonder if there will be rain there. I kind of hope so because the Sox need a blow. A day off from baseball may do them some good. Otherwise, GO SOX!!!1!!!
  4. He shut out that punk ass in Tampa. That's like two wins in my book.
  5. And that is how most of us feel, unfortunately. What's worse is the feeling that the Yankees may finish so far ahead of the Sox. I can't stand Yankee fans as it is. Ugh.
  6. Well then as Jacko has suggested that could be the case. I had just seen the interview and reiterated almost verbatim what Farrell had said. One thing is certain, we have all seen this of Ortiz before. Maybe he can turn it around once more? His plummeting BA from last year is worrisome.
  7. Those two ball calls on Hicks were bad. That started the rally hat buried Porcello.
  8. Of course I was outside talking to a neighbor when Pedey went off!!! And early lead? My system is in shock.
  9. BOGEY!!!!!1!!!!! That was most excellent!!!!
  10. Yes. I don't recall this kind of futility. But I am 59 and my memory is not what it used to be!
  11. Is anyone else going to post on the GT today? Is everyone that disillusioned?
  12. Okay Mookie. Not okay Hanley.
  13. I've been thinking about this "entitled" thing. I guess that I must be entitled in some regard. After all, I have been spoiled by Sox teams that gave me hope that they could win any game on any day. Now I see a team that does not offer the hope of a win every day. So I must be entitled. This sucks.
  14. Of course this is contrary to how Farrel explains it. When asked if Papi's bat had slowed he said no. He went on to explain that Ortiz is chasing breaking pitches out of the zone "expanding the zone". But you are correct in that this lineup is build around Papi's big bat in the middle of the order. Farrel offered that as well. Several Sox batters are under-performing. It's the perfect storm of suck.
  15. I see that Rusney is injured again. I love the hustle and the Web Gem plays in RF but it seems that this "young player" ( Remy's words, lol ) is always getting banged up. Oh well, at least we get to see Holt play today! GO SOX!!!!1!!!
  16. Last second thread. SP: Porcello (4-3) vs. SP: Hughes (3-4) Make Houges wish he were still a Yankee.
  17. Jim Rice is saying the same thing. He says that Hanley and Ortiz are not driving the ball.
  18. I thought that someone mentioned 40 years!!!
  19. There are no substantiated reports of his discontent and desire to play somewhere else. From what I have read, he only suggested that he may retire as a negotiation ploy with the Sox. He readily said that he would play for the minimum in St. Louis. I think the Sox either did not like / want him or they just f***ing blew it with him. The idea of trading away all of your pitching including #2 and #1 still makes no sense to me even if the team is confronted with negotiating into a pitcher's "decline" years. Someone with some savvy could have negotiated with both Lester and Lackey. My bet is at least one of them would still be here. I think the Sox just f***ed up.
  20. A few minutes ago I saw a NESN vidio shot from Target field where Wade Miley was sitting on a tarp just chatting with a group of young Sox fans. I like to see that type of thing because it helps keep baseball relevant with our youth. Something that must be essential to perpetuate the sport I love.
  21. I don't wear my patriotism on my sleeve. But I have lived enough to realize that I live in the best country in the world.
