    Vic isn't there tonite. I hope the Yankees get 7 runs off Wilson. I swear these guys are just trying to create copy for the talk shows.
  2. SoxSport
    hey beancounter. time to change your name. lol.

    I don't know who is making the Red Sox decisions upstairs, but would you trade Victorino for Alex Wilson who? The Vic who is making $13 million. The way Wilson has pitched for them when he was up, they are better off pitching Victorino. Sizemore looked like a duck out of water in RF in the 5th inning. The FO looks like it wants to play the 2012 season over again. Amazing.

    ha. Here's the World Champs facing the chump Yankees , who didn't even make the playoffs last year. And who looks like the arrogant team? The Yankees, of course. The media's team--and they know it.

    Nava has options, plus he's off to a slow start. No damage done. I hope Workman is up. He should have never been down. Carp is needed as 1b backup. My view is OF should be Size-JBJ-Vic.
  6. SoxSport
    Downright embarrassing. World Champions looking like chumps before the home crowd. And Victorino playing in Pawtucket instead of Fenway last night? What beancounter made that decision? The tweets said last night they were going to keep Vic in Pawtucket and bring up a reliever. Saner heads prevailed this morning and Nava is getting optioned. Workman, one of their better BP guys, seems to have disappeared.
  7. SoxSport
    Is Workman in Pawtucket? Are they serious? He's better than most of their bullpen, and they count beans with him. You have to wonder if the FO has written the season off after winning last year.
  8. SoxSport
    I just can't see the Yankees going anywhere with this team. Their infield sucks, and their pitching looks very tentative. They have been lucky with Tanaka and Pineda--so far. This isn't a championship Yankee team.
  9. SoxSport
    Ha. The way they are playing, they don't look very desperate.
  10. SoxSport
    A bit ridiculous Vic wasn't timed to be back tonite. Seems like the guys upstairs are operating in a vacuum. I wonder if these guys are into it mentally yet. Either that, or they weren't ready to play coming out of Florida. Ellsbury was not coming back to Boston--not with Boras as his agent. He had Yankees for big bucks written all over him. In NY, they just raise the bar to get the player--above what anybody else will pay. It works for most players, especially Boras clients,who are out for top dollar.

    that other guy is full of crap. he's a pea brain.
  12. SoxSport
    I just can't understand why they leave starters in so long these days to take teams out of games. It's another one of those pitch count consequences. They just have to throw a certain no. of pitches, no matter how much they suck that day. No pitcher has his stuff every start. If a guy doesn't have it, replace him. Buchholz was throwing mediocre stuff right down the middle of the plate. You can imagine how the fielders feel.
  13. SoxSport
    In the old days, when a starter went sour, he went to the bullpen to work out his problems. After a few relief appearances, if he did OK, he was returned to the rotation. But they don't do that anymore. You're either a starter or a reliever. "Different conditioning." That's progress? Don't think so.

    American man won the marathon.
  15. SoxSport
    Why the hell isn't Bradley leading off? He's been sending ready signals for the past few games. Some of their leadoff choices are a joke.
  16. SoxSport
    Rosenthal has about 4 or 5 saves this year for the Cards, but he seems to give up a run every time he pitches. It just shows how saves are stats for agents and fantasy. We'll see how long the Cards will tolerate that.

    The African runners are getting ready to run the Boston Marathon right now on TV. Grouped at the front. They win this thing every year because they run as a team--especially the Kenyans and Ethiopians. Never as individuals. Salazar as coach did this with his two runners (one British, one American) in the 5000 meters last Olympics, and finished 1-2. That's how you beat the Africans.
  18. SoxSport
    Lee is in the minority. Most will opt for the money. The Yankees have long known they have a cable TV/marketing advantage over other teams, and they have to maximize that leverage. You take what is given to you. Cashman talks about the need for a strong farm system, but I doubt anybody else in that organization believes it. Not that they don't spend money on that, too.
  19. SoxSport
    Yeah, the media doesn't talk in these terms--about the huge salary disparities in MLB. That's because the money is coming from--the media! The Dodgers and the Yankees should win every game, when you look at how much money they spend vs other teams. They should be held to higher standards--and criticized when they fail. But the media doesn't criticize big money--they're part of the system.
  20. SoxSport
    Nice win. Holt redeems himself at the plate. Nobody doubts he can hit. With Doubront, it ain't pretty, but he gets it done. Fortunately, the late inning relief has held up. Where is Workman? I hope the beancounters didn't send him down. Their mid relief sucks.
  21. SoxSport
    Holt can hit. His problem is he's weak in the field.
  22. SoxSport
    One of their problems is their bench sucks. They keep better players in the minors and spend money on crap. Hope the FO isn't regressing to 2012 levels.
  23. SoxSport
    Holt showing why he can't play 3B. No arm. They lack defensive depth. I don't know why Cecchini hasn't been playing 3B the last two weeks. Cripes, he played it enough in ST games.
  24. SoxSport
    Regarding Boras, the Yankees are traditionally his meal ticket--his path to salary inflation. They get first dibs on his pickings. They particularly like to "steal" Red Sox centerfielders the year after the Red Sox win a championship. First Damon, then Ellsbury. In each case, the short RF porch in Yankee stadium made each player more valuable to the Yankees than the Red Sox. In each case, they simply offered much more than the Red Sox were willing to pay. The difference is the Yankees basically swapped Cano for Ellsbury, and that I think was a mistake. Ells is no Cano.
  25. SoxSport
    The Yanks had an easy early schedule (what else is new) and some unexpected good starts from Tanaka and Pineda. They are playing over their heads, if you look at the rest of the team. The Red Sox regulars, at least some of them, look like they are still in ST. The FO deserves a mulligan for picking up Roberts (they could have had Soriano from Theo last season, but they sneered at his OBP).TB has had a couple of their starters go down. The Os look like they'll be tough if Davis starts hitting. The cream will eventually rise to the top, and the usual suspects will be there.
