it's way too early to be counting games in the loss column. there are 50 games left and the sox play the yankees 10 times and the rays 6 times. they're going to have to play a dominant stretch of baseball to make the playoffs, but they're still in control of their destiny at this point

Boston Red Sox 2010 draft picks

they're still very much alive

the poster you responded to was talking long term, not just next year
-
i bring up the rotation because it's improved dramatically. beckett is back and pitching like beckett, daisuke and lackey are pitching much better and wakefield with his 5.50+ era is no longer starting for us every 5 games
-
because it hasn't changed at all. it's still the same pen with poor middle relief and a good 8th/9th inning combo that it's been all year, so what's to discuss about it?

what are our chances of making the playoffs if buchholz continues to have an era in the mid 2's, lester has an era around 3, beckett continues to be dominant and matsuzaka continues to go 6+ innings a start with an era under 4?

mike lowell?
-
he gave up more than a home run every 9 innings in 2007 and 2009. this year, he's given up 0.6 home runs per 9, that's a pretty big difference
-
we may be without youk but when we get pedroia back we'll be the healthiest that we've been since april. having youk out isn't as bad as having 2 outfielders and daisuke out or having beckett, buchholz, pedroia and v-mart out as good as youk is, he isn't as valuable as 3 or 4 of our better players. and we've had 3 or 4 of our better players on the disabled list for most of the season

why isn't there a puke smiley?

-
here's his line for the season 3.96 era, 1.32 whip, 3.94 fip, 6+ innings per start the biggest difference between this year and previous years is that he's keeping the ball in the park

win! we're within 5.5 games of a playoff spot again

so just to get this straight, what you're saying is that the sox don't have a realistic chance of making the playoffs becuase they're too far back of the teams they're chasing, but the twins who are a game further back than the red sox do have a chance at making the playoffs?
-
yet, you disagreed with the sentiment
-
what pal was saying is that replacing offense at 1st base is much easier than replacing it at second base or catcher. backup 1b are in general much more productive players than backup middle infielders or catchers
-
saying the team most likely make the playoffs is being realistic. saying the twins, who are even further back in the standings than us are the only team left competing for the wild card with the rays is... i don't know what
