    The red sox had ample opportunity to win this game. The hitters weren't smart today. It is inexcusable to have that many runners on third with less than two outs over the past two games and not bring them in.

    Actually Merloni described it this way: the pain or discomfort in his hand will cause him to bale early on pitches shifting his left hip prematurely affecting his timing thus hitting weak grounders. That is exactly the way Merloni described it.

    I know! It was a rhetorical question. The inmates run the asylum. That's one of the reasons they are in last place.

    You are right! She has nothing meaningful to offer.

    Why do you need to insult personally people you disagee with?

    Dice-K piched better than expected worse than what the Red Sox needed. At least he didn't bean anyone. So in that sense he did better than Bard did in Pawtucket. No, He was neither dominant nor was he as bad as he was before he went on the DL.

    Youk's best days are behind him. They can play him until the cows come home and it won't increase his trade value. That's a red herring. No team is going to give the Sox much for him especially since the Red Sox in Cherrington have literally the country bumpkin in the trade market. Cherries if left to his own devices would buy the Brooklyn Bridge.

    A-Gon despite yesterday has looked pathetic at the plate. He hasn't drawn a walk in ages.
  13. Elktonnick
    If Dice-K doesn't hit two baters by the fifth inning that will be a step up from Bard.

    At least the ump did what the FO refuses to do with Youk, bench him.

    Seeing Strasburg pitch shows just how far behind the Red Sox are from having a true nbr 1

    I said there was general agreement not unanimity. Bard's statements to media is reflective of the cancerous attitude and entitlement that was exhibited by the 2011 starters and other veterans.

    Matusz had several years as a starter so the other night was an anomaly for this year. But clearly you don't know Matusz's record. In 2011, he got 6 starts and finished with a 1-4 record with an ERA above 7.00 before being demoted to Triple-A Norfolk on July 1 to work on his velocity. Sounds very similar to Bard. I can assure you that if Matusz continues to pitch like he did the other night, he'll be back on the bus to Norfolk. Showalter doesn't screw around.

    In order to to agree with bolded part (i.e. he can reverse that) one has to agree with that which preceded it.

    He may be an insubordinate. He may be one of the cancers on this pitching staff as bad as Lackey, ( I think he is.) What we do know for sure is that his performance as a starter was unacceptable at the major league level. What we do know for sure is that he is whining about his situation. What we also do know for sure is that he refuses to accept responsibilty for his situation but is blaming others. What we do know is that he is in danger of losing a career. What we also know is that his public attitude is not winning him a lot of sympathy from most fans and analysts who watch this team closely. Now he can reverse that. We'll see if he does.
  21. Elktonnick
    Do you disagree with that assessment of Bard?

    Tremendous confidence builder for Buchholtz

    No Don is Jerry's straight man. He plays it well. Last year Remy and Don were voted the best in the American league
