    I cringed when I saw Mujica come out for the 9th but it ended well. 2 wins in a row!!!! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

    Let's see how long Lester can pitch tonight. 30+ pitches in the first don't bode well for him.
  3. Spudboy
    I sure as hell hope that kid does not turn into a pumpkin. He's so fun to watch play. And he is doing his job.
  4. Spudboy
    And now because of his aggressive play he has scored the second run. More please?
  5. Spudboy
    Now he has stolen 3rd.
  6. Spudboy
    And now he doubles to start the inning. What a breath of fresh air he is among the stench of the Sox lineup.
  7. Spudboy
    That was just plain old good baseball by Holt. He was backing up the play when because he was tracking the ball he could make the play.
  8. Spudboy
    Oh my. What a play by Holt to end the inning. I'm glad he is in center field tonight.
  9. Spudboy
    Terrible throw by Ross. Oye.
  10. Spudboy
    Suck it up Ted. It can get worse!!!!
  11. Spudboy
    I for one do not understand why he is referred to as Jr. It's not like his Father is Ken Griffey.
  12. Spudboy
    I see no need to be frightened by Holt in center. It's the under performing Sox lineup that I am frightened by.
  13. Spudboy
    I was referring to long at bats for the Sox not Santana!!! Lead man on. Crap.
  14. Spudboy
    No reason to fear Holt in center. He may not be completely familiar with the wall and triangle but who is until they play there a bunch? It sure would be nice to see long at bats and many hits / runs!!!! GO SOX!!!!
  15. Spudboy
    But Fred it's your responsibility to keep your mojo going. That's the way it works here.
  16. Spudboy
    He's just a roster filler for now I expect. He will likely be sent down as soon as they need to make another roster move.

    Still there is no tangible reason for Pedroia and Poopie to be flailing this way. I have suspected the hand injury with Pedroia but who knows? Poopie is hitting about .250 I realize that "batting average is meaningless" ( lol ) now but it sure would be nice to see our biggest and loudest hitter actually hit. That would drive in some runs, wouldn't it?

    Well they just dumped Sizemore so we don't have to think about him anymore. I agree that the Sox misplayed the center field position this year. Although I believe that Bradley may come around offensively eventually, I suspect it won't be soon or nearly enough. I don't think that the Sox will be able to capture a playoff spot this year unless they make some bold and expensive moves. I don't see that happening, either.

    I just remember Rios being a Sox killer from years ago. I see that he remains pretty productive. I think that he would be an excellent fit now but suspect the Sox won't be making any significant acquisitions around the deadline.
  20. Spudboy
    I think that the timing coincides with a bonus kicking in but yes, it is due. I wish him well and hope that he can catch on somewhere. Probably not in Pawtucket.
  21. Spudboy
    How about Alex Rios? The Rangers appear to be going nowhere either. He is 33 but he is hitting very well. He has speed. His power numbers are down but he is still productive and has an expiring contract with a club option for 2015. $13. Mil/year for a very solid RHH outfield bat would seem like a good move to me.
  22. Spudboy
    When I asked who will replace Bradley I did not consider Victorino. This is because I don't believe that Victorino will be able to stay on the field and in the lineup for sustained stretches this season. He is part of the problem with this team. I don't see how he will be part of a solution. I think that we are stuck with Bradley in Center for the duration of this season. I just wonder why he seems to have regressed rather than improved his hitting. He used to hit ropes to the opposite field. Now he just strikes out or hits dribblers to the right side. Why can't the Sox coaching staff help make him a better hitter now? I do not agree that Bradley will never be able to hit MLB pitching. This may be true eventually. Now, it is a little early to make that conclusion. His poor hitting is a lot more noticeable because of the overall failure of this team's offense. This is why we are harping on him being the problem rather than him being just one of many problems contributing to overall ineptitude.
  23. Spudboy
    Fred I fully agree that Bradley has huge problems at the plate. And there does not seem to be any improvement. I say he needs to be back in AAA to get that sorted out. But in the meantime, who will fill his position?????? Not Sizemore!!!!!! Therein lies the problem. The team has too many week spots and no one person that can take his place and be more productive.
  24. Spudboy
    And who could this outfield bat be? The pickin's are slim it seems.
  25. Spudboy
    lol
