    The entire coaching staff of this team needs to be canned. Just sayin'.

    No, he really doesn't need to come back. At least not yet.

    This isn't going to be a fun week in all likelihood. Come on, Red Sox....

    Not the best game to have dished out a pretty penny and driven up to Boston for.

    Why would the Phillies trade Lee away though?

    I'll be there Sunday. I really hope the team keeps this stuff up.

    I thought that was one of the most hilarious things that I have seen in awhile that someone (anyone catch who?) brought the Gatorade cooler out. I love when they tear the jerseys off too, funny stuff.

    Welcome to my world. Except the object of her hatred is me.

    How do you know this, and how does trading him make sense when his value is the lowest? It can be a mechanical issue or difficulty adapting to a new pitching coach who, by all accounts, is failing miserably with the starting staff for this team.

    Obviously. If you were you'd be a lot more handsome and a lot less angry.

    Bro, we get it, you don't like the Front Office.

    I don't really see anything wrong with it. It's an annoying thing for players 24/7. If they want to do it during BP, I'll think more highly of them. If they don't, no big deal. If they're directly a dick to fans, then that's a problem.

    The problem is that he's not "2006 Pap" anymore. ERA may be misleading, but WHIP, HR/9 and H/9 aren't, and he's not doing very good in any of those departments. The "Papelbon negativity" is just realism. He was trending downward, had a big contract year (as players tend to do) and now looks like he's trending downwards again. I liked Paps while he was here, and i advocated re-signing him. But at that time and that money? No way. What should be perplexing is how some people here can completely s*** all over a player for a number of reasons then give another player a pass when he has similar problems just because he or she "likes" the player.

    Sox gave me a nice b-day gift. I am pleased.

    Option 3: Stand pat.

    Don't waste your time. Logic goes out the window when people have an emotional attachment to a player. Papelbon simply hasn't been that good this year. The excuse-making by Ellsbury and (surprisingly) a700 is quite funny considering they're part of the "no excuses" crowd. Papelbon hasn't been that good, period.

    I didn't take anything out of context, and it wasn't a dumb thing to call out. You made a sweeping criticism about the state of the Red Sox farm system which i thought to be incorrect. That's about as big as it gets.

    The funny thing is that Papelbon hasn't been nearly as good this season (in the NL no less!) as he was last year here with the Red Sox. His numbers would probably look a bit worse if he were still playing in the AL East. A 3.34 ERA and 1.14 WHIP aren't high echelon numbers for a reliever. The line of thinking that Papelbon would make this club that much better looks ridiculous to me if you take his actual numbers into account.

    Because that's the only point i wanted to argue. How is that a problem? And this point continues to show the faulty premise that makes your line of thinking incorrect. Just because a minor league isn't churning out players to the MLB level doesn't mean it's "in shambles" or "bad". This isn't something i'm making up either. Go take a look at some of the prospect and system rankings for the past 3-4 years and you'll see exactly what i'm saying here as a description for the Sox farm system: "Loaded with talent, but very young, need to wait until Sally League and A kids reach advanced Minors". I'm sorry, but the point is just plain wrong.

    It's obviously a great idea to bring back players who are multi-million investments back from injury before they are physically or mentally (timing or mechanically-wise) ready for it. Who needs common sense?

    This shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the Red Sox farm system. It's been bottom-heavy for a while because of all the high-potential HS draftees, but it has (and had, at the not-too-distant past) lots of desirable pieces, as evidenced by the A-Gonz trade.

    Not how it works IMO. It doesn't help to come back to MLB games prematurely if you have a rehab plan previously prepared. Baseball players are creatures of habit.
