It is all for Lackey... And now Atchison LOL! Thank you Lackey for the 5 Rs and thank you for abusing the BP again, you #*#*#*# I really envy TB's rotation... With all Henry's money, is it really impossible to have a pitching staff like that? I mean... healthy, full, young, solid, etc.

This is exactly why, I'm worried about making the playoffs this year, even s***** teams like Baltimore can pound this s***** pitching staff. Should we press the panic button?

If someone is still doubting that baseball isn't a pitching game, the last 9 games explains it all.

What in the hell is Miller doing in the dugout? I thought that he was already DFAed...

I wanna punch something

Our pitching is a blank check... Seriously, the panorama doesn't look well at all.

And here we go again.... 0-3

Only 4 teams have clinched the POs after being 6 GB with 20 G to be played the last 50 years.

1,2,3...out! Cmon Lackey keep us in the game!

Win!

Seems like this team is falling to pieces.

Kevin Youkilis gets MRI on ailing hip Another warning... as if we do not have enough problems already...dammit! ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Boston Red Sox third baseman Kevin Youkilis, who has had hip problems off and on all season, returned to Boston and underwent an MRI on Friday, manager Terry Francona said. Youkilis just returned Sept. 1 from a 15-day stint on the DL with a lower back strain. He has just five hits in 27 at-bats since his return, and was noticeably limping the past couple of nights, Francona said. The left hip has never fully healed since Youkilis first injured it with a slide during a game in Baltimore back in late April, but he has tried to play through the discomfort all season. More On The Red Sox Youkilis got off to a slow start this season, batting just .218 in April, but had lifted his average to as high as .288 on July 16, with his on-base percentage (.410) and slugging percentage (.513) similar to his career norms (.394, .497). But in 32 games since then, Youkilis is batting just .192/.302/.358, and there is little question that his physical ailments have contributed to his slide. "We were going to give him the day off, but he was really limping the last couple of days and his hip was bothering him, so we decided to get him back to Boston," Francona said. "Hopefully, we'll get some answers." Pitcher Erik Erik Bedard, whose start here Friday was skipped because of lingering soreness in his left knee, also went to Boston from Toronto and was diagnosed with a mild lat strain, Francona said, the manager asserting that Bedard strained the muscle while compensating for his knee in his last start. Bedard was scheduled to rejoin the team later Friday night.

....and Bedard still a mystery.... Thats exactly what worries me the most...

A week ago, I would've said "of course! we are not just gonna make the POs, we gonna win the Division". Today, sadly I'm not sure anymore. Let's take a look... RSOX (85-58; .594; projected, if we play .300 baseball: 90-72) Last ten (3-7; .300) 3 Games at TB 2 Games vs Toronto 4 Games vs TB 4 Games vs Baltimore 3 Games at New York 3 Games at Baltimore Vs TB (5-6, .454) Vs NY (11-4, .733) Vs Toronto (9-7, .562) Vs BaLtimore (8-3, .727) TB (78-64; .549; projected, if they play .500 baseball: 88-74 ) Last ten (5-5; .500) 3 Games vs Boston 3 Games at Baltimore 4 Games at Boston 4 Games at NY 3 Games vs Toronto 3 Games vs NY Vs Boston(6-5; .545) Vs NY (5-6; .454) Vs Toronto (10-5; .666) Vs BaLtimore (8-7; .533) The projection indicates that Boston goes to the POs; nevertheless, if Tampa plays .600 baseball and the RedSox continuos playing .300, the record will be tied and guess who goes to the POs? TB:( Is it possible? Well, considering our rotation and the injuries, we definitely could finish playing .300... As a matter of fact, in September we are a .250 team after 8 games already played and 19 to be played. On the other hand, TB has played .550 vs AL East and .571 in September; want it more scary? The 3 games that TB lost in September were against Texas and guess what? they won't face 'em again (4-5; .444 vs Tx), so.... We better recover Beckett and/or Bedard and/or our offense save our pitching ass as they've been doing all season. Stack your odds Gentlemen, it isn't over, is it?

7 Rs rule in process?

Why not try with our farm?, Are they that bad?... Miller, Wake and Lackey are a granted lose every single day at this point... What else can you lose? Nothing! IMO.

0-4 and still nobody out!

Cmon guys, at least give a shot to my Redskins

Gotcha! Good inning by Miller, unexpected, but a good inning. As long he keeps throwing strikes, he'll be fine, if not, be prepare for one of those walking-nights.

Here we go..

And no CC... Something wrong with 'em?

I'm not sure what you understand or define a good investment. A good investment to me, is when you lay out money or capital in an enterprise/business with an expectation of PROFIT. Just to be sure, my point is ranged only by the present (2011).... not the past, and certainly not the future. That being said, 2011's exercise is far to show decent IRR/ROI/NPV numbers on those players. Like sabermetrics? I already showed you their 2011's WAR numbers.
