When Gammons said that Lester wanted out I as well as many others thought he was full of s***. I agree that he is too close to the team to tell the truth but it makes you wonder why he would be stirring up s***.

You mean me? Youk of the nation told me if I continue to be negative, I'll get a permanent vacation from the site. I just watch how it all plays out now.

Yeah. They looked great. We'll get back over .500 and out of last place soon.

Miller got squeezed bad there.

Kuroda starting to poop his pants in the eighth.

Took a break to catch fireflies with my boy. Are we holding down the fort?

I remember Kapler rounding the bases when that ankle blew out, that was real ugly.

And the bankee$ come back and take the lead. I think they just put the HGH directly into the Gatorade coolers at this point, I have never seen so many old has beens get better in their old age.

I can honestly say I haven't seen anything I don't like yet.

Tell me this Pedro kid is for real.

Yeah, I don't want Upton. Bad attitude too.

Nevermind, Yeah, I'm sure he's fine. On with the game.

Anyone heard from Pumpsie?

Got it. Ridiculous.

Semantics yet again. Was my initial post sarcastic? Yes, it seemed like a good way to get my point across that PITCHING was the number one problem. Did I single you or anyone else and personally insult them? No. Did you single me out and personally attack me? Of course you did, it's your M.O.

Wrong yet again MVP, here is Ssf's personal critique on me BEFORE the post you quoted. Do you think that people can't read back in a thread to see what's going on? Do you think we are all that stupid. Just drop it, you guys with the games of semantics. It bores me.

I would love to see Lester confront Gammons about all this. It won't happen but it would be cool. What the hell with Gammons saying something like this anyway? I think the old goat has been struggling with senility the last few years anyway.

Wow Wacko Jacko, are you a fan of the bankee$ or just a fan of stirring up s*** with Sox fans? You're really out doing yourself now that our team is about as down and out as it gets. Shows great character.

Yeah, let's ignore his post to me. I don't start s*** but I'll say something in my defense anytime.

But Jung, the blind optimism or "real fandom" exhibited in the statement is based on his career in TB years ago and will this will be met with once you have talent, you never lose it". I appreciate that these guys want the team to win but pinning hopes on a guy who has been injured for a year and a half, is STILL injured, has a lot to live down and was really a questionable fit to begin with is just a little to far away from reality for me. I too used to watch what he did in TB and wish that he would do that for us and not against us. I'm sure he will someday but not likely this season.

What do you want? This team needs a MAJOR overhaul. The FO keeps putting little band aids on. We can all stick our heads in the sand and pretend that trees grow cotton candy and cute little puppies s*** gumdrops and keep thinking that this team is more than it is but guess what? It's not. I am a fan of the idea that is the Boston Red Sox, I am not a fan of the FO letting this team spiral so out of control that the Duquette years are something we long to go back to. Everyone that keeps wishing that this wasn't true is kidding themselves. As Burgess Meridith said in Grumpy Old Men, "You can wish in one hand and crap in the other... see which one gets filled first". It's an immediate gratification mindset that looks at this team and tries to wish it to a WS title. Dissect it, cut out the cancers and plant new healthy cells. 4 or 5 years down the road we can have another dynasty. I just fear that Henry has lost interest. Maybe someone new will see what a cash cow the 2004 and 2007 teams were and spend some money wisely. That is my hope. If it makes MVP and SFF feel better to question my fandom, to each his own. Sorry but I couldn't care less.

Oh, I'm sorry, I'll play too. When CC and Ells come back this team is gonna tear it up! We will still have the worst pitching in the league but the added 1100 runs per game we get from those two will more than suffice. GO RED SOX!!!!

Whoa! we're gonna turn it around with C.C. and Ells now? Cool, I thought they had spent alot of time on the DL but evidently they must have successfully trained to become ace pitchers in the ALE, now I can see why everyone is pinning their hopes on these two turning this trainwreck around. My bad.
