    Orioles are around 29th in offense. Just saying!

    From the beginning, I never believed Lackey was meant to be an ace. They spent a lot of money on consistency. He's going to give them above average pitching with a lot of innings, and I know I've said it a dozen times, but he's here to protect the young pitchers. When Tazawa/Bowden were brought up early because of the lack of consistency from Penny/Smoltz, it really messed with their progression. Hell, even Buchholz may have been brought up prematurely. Sure, Doubront is coming up early, but I don't think a bad start so soon after moving up from AA will hurt his value as a prospect or his confidence. Imagine where the Red Sox would be if they had gone with Lester/Buch/Beckett/Dice/Wake. Wake would probably be hurting, and it would be like the end of 2009 when they only had Lester and Buchholz and everyone else was underperforming.

    hooray. You brought the mojo with you, right?
  4. Palodios
    Scutaro, that was weak.

    Compared to Beckett, Lackey and Dice-k have pitched like Cy Youngs. Especially Lackey, he's had two or three bad starts but besides that he's been great, and he pitches deep into games.

    I guess the short 1 inning day against the Sox must have put some life back in his arm.

    All with a makeshift outfield and a worthless ace. Not bad Theo, not bad.
  8. Palodios
    or pine about riding?
  9. Palodios
    Or Varitek's PR agent? Or both?

    Lackey has been pitching like he should be lately. The last four starts, he's been averaging a little under 6.2 per start with an ERA of 3.43. He's healthy, so I don't see any reason why he can't keep pitching like this.

    The problem with losing a player in NBA is different than losing a player in the mlb. You don't just replace their minutes with a bench player-- you also have to replace the minutes of the bench player with an even worse player. Last year, Big Baby and Leon Powe replaced Garnett surprisingly well, but the problem was that Scalabrine and Miki Moore played far more than they should have. Perk versus Bynum and Baby versus Odom aren't bad matchups-- but Baby/Bynum Williams/Odom are.

    I disagree. During the end of his time here, Manny was a real pain the ass, and every member of the team (except for Lugo) voted him off the island.

    Welcome to the site. Lurking is overrated! Just a heads up-- with gamethreads, if the team wins, the person who posted the thread always will post the next thread. So, Yeszir will likely do exactly that.

    He's going to get mixed reactions. The people who realize how huge he was in the first two world series titles this team has won in decades will clap for him. But then again, they probably would have won one or two more if he hadn't left. There will definitely be some fans who give him hell. I expect a very similar reaction to that of Damon, except with batteries instead of dollar bills.

    Why is it whenever teams have big leads like that the Yankees tend to come back and win it? Its painful.

    Fun fact-- Dustin Pedroia is an anagram for Unpaid Steroid.

    When he gets hot, he really gets hot!

    When the pumpkin showed up, I told him what the forum was like. Except I jokingly said everyone wants to DFA beltre, and apparently stirred up the dust.
  21. Palodios
    Hopefully it won't get delayed till tomorrow. 3 games in one day is too many to watch.

    Welcome. Its a pretty basic Sox board around here. A good part of the discussion here is based on whether Drew was worth it, which stats are better to judge a player's effectiveness, and whether key players like Mcdonald/Wakefield/Scutaro/Dice-k/Ortiz are really key players. Oh, and there is always a discussion about which bad player to DFA first-- and the general consensus is Beltre.
  24. Palodios
    Tell that to Perkins.

    With the expanded roster, and so many opportunities to play, the only players that really get missed are the borderline ones. 68 players get in, its not like this is voting for an mvp, and that doesn't include the starters who started recently, and the injury replacements. Fans get 18 of 68, and players, coaches, and managers get the other 50. 50-- count them 50-- are by their peers. If none of those people like a player, they're either a jerk and all those groups didn't want them there, or they're just not good enough.
