  1. I think you have not seen A700's point. Our major injuries have been at field players. Happens that our offense has not been our problem. Offense has been doing very good given the circumstances in the overall 1st half, more than I expected, actually. I expect that our offense will be better or at least at the same level where it was in the 1st half. Our problem has been our pitching. This is not a new topic. Sure, it has improved. But it doesn't matter, it was the reason why we are in this position (4th place). Again, you can split or sugarcoat the numbers all you want, thing is that our pitching is one of the worst of the league thus far in this first half of the season, as simple as that, those are the numbers and there's the consequences. Again, this is a very unbalanced team. FO did not addressed our weak side. They gambled a lot going with two experiments. We had very little margin of error in that regard, and now we are facing this nightmare.
  2. Bring Andrew Friedman for once and for all no matter at what cost... That move should be the first move next season and a MUST if you ask me.
  3. Well, This is the big picture of the 2012 Red Sox. No more, no less. Excellent analysis.
  4. What would you do? sell or buy? Would you sell guys like Ross, Ortiz, Ells and even Lester for good prospects? Or would you push for guys like Hammels or King Felix to reinforce our pitching? or simply, you would do nothing... 7.5 behind NYY and they are our next opponent. 3.0 behind LAA and 2.5 behind BAL Thus far...
  5. Let him rest... It's clear that his mind is not ok...send him to therapy or something, this is not about baseball anymore in his case IMO.
  6. Regardless he is in my fantasy team, oh wait.. And Ells... Dammit!
  7. Wow, this is unbelievable! Who is Next? Ortiz? Jeeeez!
  8. Youk is performing in Chicago like in old days. I'm happy for him.
  9. People still don't understand that our problem is our pitching. Offense will be oks. Offense has been oks overall in the first half. Pitching did not. No matter how many runs you make.... if the other team makes more, you lose. It's about balance, this team is tremendous unbalanced.
  10. As I said over and over and over and over... problem has been our pitching. Even with key injured field players, our offense has been great in that department; In fact, outstanding performance given the circumstances, didn't expect this good. Again, we need to improve the pitching, the question is, when? this season? 2013?... when?
  11. Ells and Lester for the King? I'd do it in a heartbeat.
  12. I still remember that series. It was painful to watch. If we do not make the POs this year, this will be the 4th year in a row that we won't win PO game. Unacceptable for a 180 MUSD team..
  13. I predicted that this team will finish in the 3rd place this year and probably could catch the 2nd WC at very best. Well, we are in that spot today. Good news are that the 2nd place will be a dog fight and It's open. Bad news are that TB, TOR and even BAL will fight for that spot too. IMO We can make it with what we have but we need the big guys perform as expected and our rotation stay healthy. Sure, if you bring an ace SP the scenario changes dramatically and this team could be a serious contender, nothing new here, I've been saying this since the offseason. I do not see this happen though. We need Adrian wake up, right away, right off, immediately. Somebody slap him. We need CC and Ells come back and perform as expected. Hopefully WM is ok, otherwise that spot will be an issue. We need our rotation healthy. DFA D-K.
  14. Whata way to waste money.
  15. Wow, just turned MLB.tV on and this?, wow! D-K shiitted the bed didn't he?
  16. Yup, seems like TB is going to win this one. Great opportunity for us tonight.
  17. Well, IMO he has managed a lot better the BP than Tito. I will never understand why Tito and now V put on the field D-McD, though, but taking that away, he's done an acceptable job thus far.
