Lackey with three consecutive 3 shutout innings.
-
Just putting it out there, Ellsbury is hitting just under .900 OPS right now. With elite defense and 50 steals, he has to be in the MVP conversation
-
Wow. Since when was Ellsbury a 25 home run guy?
-
Dear lord, this offense is unreal. Shields is a top 5 pitcher in the AL, and they just put 4 runs up just like that. Edit: 5 runs.
-
Between today's news about Buchholz and Reddick hitting yet another home run, a starting pitcher may be a better plan than it did last week.
-
Okay, remember how I've been advocating the Sox get a RF and not a starting pitcher? I'm okay with Reddick.
-
DOUBLE PLAY!
-
Honestly, you probably don't want to be watching this one.
-
f*** it. Buchholz, go take a vacation, and we'll see you in October.
-
It should be on Fox. Do you not have a tv right now?

At what point do we take a look at Lavarnway, and decide that he is ready for the big leagues? Kalish had an OPS of .832 after 37 games before being called up. Lavarnway has an OPS of 1.084 over 28 games. Based on his minor league career, we're very easily looking at a guy who could bat to .280/.350/.500/.850.

This feels like that game when Wakefield faced Felix Hernandez at the beginning of the season. For those who don't remember... the Sox won that game.

I think there are a few things that make it possible. Boston is thriving in technology and pharmaceutical industries even through a recession, so there is more money to be spent at games. Boston (and New England in general) also has a ton of high level private colleges, which means that people come into the city for school, turn into a Sox fan, and leave the area after they graduate-- staying a sox fan. And despite so many schools, Boston College is really the only big football team that anyone cares about, and UCONN is the closest thing New England has to a big basketball team. Its also probably worth noting that the richest two baseball cities-- New York and L.A. have two teams. You should also note that several of the most populated cities are in very warm places that probably have far more oppressive weather throughout the summer-- San Diego, Phoenix, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, which probably affects attendance. Summer in Boston is not so bad.

I figured I'd throw out a list of the starting RF from non-contender teams. Jeff Francoeur (RH) Michael Cuddyer (RH) David DeJesus (LH) Kosuke Fukudome (LH) Hunter Pence (RH) Seth Smith (RH) (3 more cost controlled years) Andre Ethier (LH) Carlos Beltran (RH) Ichiro(LH) It looks like the only realistic options on the market are Francouer, Beltran, and Cuddyer. They may find a player who could convert from center/left, but I seriously doubt that Theo will go for another LH OF.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are in first place of the NL CENTRAL!!!!
-
Yeah, the Red Sox definitely need a new shortstop.
-
I'm going to stop watching this for an hour, and hope that when I return, they will be up 15-8.
-
Wow, that's only 5 runs, and they're calling the bullpen already? Two early.
-
I think tonight is a good night for the Red Sox to hit their first grand slam.
-
Oh hey, I can watch this game tonight. It feels like it has been a long time since I've seen one.
-
Mcdonald starting against Price? I think this is more evidence that Reddick is tradebait. NWIH you leave Reddick on the bench unless you're afraid of the 0-5 day from affecting his perceived value.
-
-
In all fairness, Ichiro has 99% identical stats versus left and right handed pitchers over his career. Seriously, look at them, they're unreal. Edit: Yep, look who is drooling over a fantasy lineup now.
-
Some teams simply need more average players to replace below average players. And you never know with rookies, sometimes they turn into something better than expected.
