Even the MLBN game announcers are depressed over Buchholz's sorry performance. They opine that the Red Sox seriously miscalculated when they traded away the 4 other starters. If they thought Buchholz could help anchor this staff, he just blew up that plan on national TV.

Why couldn't the Sox have dumped this idiot? His head clearly isn't in the game - either fielding or pitching.

But still...'Lester + Uehara is a pennant changing trade for a contender', and the A's-Cubs trade was a 2014 all-in trade for the A's.

I wonder if Oakland was contacted before they made the Cubs deal.

The core of the A's are Red Sox rejects. Looks like Billy Bean is as smart as his Money-ball reputation. Keep in mind that Red Sox coaching is well over-rated. Farrell, etc. survive on luck and career years...not so good at coaching up sub standard performance.

Farrel should have gone out on top in 2013.

Meanwhile, Tito is locked inside his bomb shelter.

Bust in Clev, great start in NE, but has not met expectations since getting busted in 2007. He buys the groceries, cooks the meal, but the meal tastes bitter.

Beckett with the 2-1 win last night w/ 9K.

I guess Heidi was the front end of the Boston-LA trade.

Ya gotta wonder if this guy is scared to come back and face the catcalls from Sox fans if he doesn't rip it up right out of the gate. The front office should have the nutsacks to dump this guy for whatever they can get and write it off as another Theo failure.

Many projected that Youk would head to Chicago with a 'prove it ' attitude. Sure, for now he has a fire in his belly and can focus better in the absence of the Red Sox soap opera. A few pundits think this is the time to blow up the Sox, and they should be sellers at the TD. Youk was just a prelude to the whooosh sound we should soon witness.

He looks intimidating in that White Sox uni. Reminds me of Clu Haywood in that Major League movie.
