    Reyes is still out, and Encarnacion and Bautista have started the year cold. Hopefully Miley can take advantage of a slightly weaker lineup. Fortunately, Aaron Sanchez sucks.

    As much as I have enjoyed having Ben as GM, you're absolutely right. He's lost a lot of games as GM. He clearly has a goal in mind, but if this ends up being another awful season, 2013 won't save him.

    What on earth? This is a move intended to put fire under the team's butts. You guys suck. This s*** will not be tolerated by the organization or its fans. Whatever Nieves has been doing, it wasn't working.

    Then why not send Hinojosa back to the minors for Barnes? Now they are stuck with the young arms instead of having options.

    Mujica DFAed, despite an excellent 5th and 6th inning last night. Why DFA both Mujica and Varvaro a month into the season? Even if they do suck, that bullpen will need to eat some innings, and cutting your options -- especially ones that have performed well in the past -- is not good for the team.

    Pinchrunning Ortiz was probably the right call, but Luis Jimeniz does not seem like a promising option for the last out of the 9th inning.

    Boxberger is the Rays closer? Who is this guy?

    Calling it right now. Mookie with a walkoff.

    Napoli getting two balls that should have been strike outs, and a dropped ball in the outfield. I'm feeling lucky.

    ... and making a gold glove play on the mound.

    Mujica coming up in the clutch. I know the Sox are down 2, but things have been going their way today.

    Masterson threw 10 straight balls to load the bases, and got a nice popup to end the ending. Scary, but fortunate.

    As players get older, they use the "I want to spend time with my kids" excuse and get lazy in the gym. Porcello isn't even married, as far as I can find -- he has a few years until he starts putting his family first.

    Allen Craig has a 1.121 OPS in the month of May. Nope, don't care that it has been 9 AB, it counts.

    Hanley needs to learn how to play off the wall, not on the wall.

    I absolutely do think that teams would want him. A healthy #3 starter is worth a lot more than you give it credit for. Look at the list of options from last year, and let me know where he stands in it. Do you have any examples? This is exactly what the Red Sox did with Masterson. He has always been a big inning guy, he's been a high end #2 pitcher years previously, and he cost 10 million. He has pitched okay so far, but he is exactly the kind of pitcher you claim to be looking for.

    Who would you sign instead? There were some options, but most of them would see serious ERA bumps in Fenway. Here are the options from last year. Shields 4/80. I still think he was a great option, but not exactly cheaper. Brandon Mccarthy 4/48. (He is already hurt this year). Ervin Santana 4/55. Might not be a terrible choice, but he is signed from 32-26, gives up more flyballs, and has a similar ERA. Liriano 3/39. He can put up some good numbers, but extremely inconsistent. I doubt Red Sox fans would tolerate him. Jason Hammel 2/18. Career 4.60 ERA in NL parks. AJ Burnett 1/8. Nope. Peavy 2/24. I have always been a Peavy fan, but doubt he'd come back after the trade. Harang 1/6. Awesome start so far, 36 years old and career 4.20 ERA in the NL make it seem like SSS. Vogelsong. 4.5 NL ERA.
  19. Palodios
    I disagree heavily with this. We see it every year -- the only guys available are either old, brittle or insanely expensive. Fair enough, you would offer him 1/15M. He probably wouldn't accept that, and you've lost your best pitcher on a team that desperately needs pitching.
  20. Palodios
    You don't want to spent 80 million on Porcello. That's fair. Let's talk it through. How much are you willing to spend on him?
  21. Palodios
    You're not answering the question.

    Pal mojo means Mookie Madness. Twice.

    Pal Mojo means Mookie Madness ! Hells yeah.

    Many of us agree on this. They paid for the luxury and ignored their needs. This rotation would look a lot better if you replaced Buchholz with Shields or Lester.
