Easy to say, hard to do. We as fans tend to get worked up with each other when the team is struggling. Here's a way to put it in perspective: like it or not, the Sox players care very little what we think of them. They are paid to do a job. Do they want to win? Sure. But, they are PAID employees. They don't "choose" their team for free, like we do. I really doubt Youkilis is going to call every poster on this board to say "sorry for hitting .001." He doesn't really give a rat's behind...sorry, to break it all of you. Secondly, players are getting paid handsomely, quite handsomely to be exact. I would think they know that getting ripped by the media and the fans comes with the job.

Chalk this one up to going up against "Cy" Drabek. Bard did better than the line indicates.
-
If that's the "get the butterflies out" start, then sure I'm fine with giving him the ball for a couple of more. My only concern is that - if he doesn't work out in the rotation, how will it affect his move back to the pen..
-
Done!

2 outs. Love the old school 'stache and beard on Thames.
-
1 out.

Even if he does, I still think Bard needs to be the closer.

Santos really trying to help our cause 4-2

Anyone of Irish descent in the pen? We could use some of that lucky charm right now.....

Just beyond me that this org hasn't had a permanent solution at SS since Nomar...8 seasons and counting.

Wow, what a pen the Jays have

Ya ain't gonna get 2 blank frames from Atchison very often. Time to seize it and get 2 runs.

Heck, more fun when the expectations are lower, right? Like the good ol' days. No "Greatest Team Ever" baloney...

Official 2012 Keep your shit together thread
ipot replied to BornToRun's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Not to worry, I dug this up: Approved unanimously by the Owners' Committee during the Winter Meetings of 2011-12. MLB, Rule 74, Section 3(a): In the calculation of the final winning percentage of any team during the regular season, the first three (3) games shall count 'less' than the final three (3) games of the season. Upon the completion of Game #162 of any team's schedule, Games #1, #2, #3 will be stricken from calculating the final winning percentage and a team's final record will be calculated based on a 159 game total, beginning with Game #4 of the season. The application of this rule will supersede all playoff seedings based o the 162 game schedule. So, all is good. These 3 losses will be stricken from the record on October 1. I always wondered why they didn't put this rule into effect last year; we would have made the playoffs.... -
Esptein f***ed them good this year. And ran off like a thief in the night. Long summer....hope the Bs make a nice run to carry this to June.
