    They create a rehab program for these guys and they stick to it to the end for a reason. Every team does this, and they, again, do it for a reason. I don't understand the line of thinking where not finishing out a player's rehab so they can get their timing back is a bad thing?

    Sellers? With the team right at .500, the second WC, and a bunch of injured stars coming back? It'll never happen.

    With Hamels, the Red Sox would immediately become a serious threat to not only make the playoffs, but to venture deep into it. But at what price?

    Chemistry? Sure. Mystic? What does that even mean?

    C: Thoroughly mediocre.

    Extremely humorous honestly.

    Power is not the only tool needed to win ballgames. Also, the starting pitching the Yankees will be trotting out for that series is going to suck some major ass.

    Excellent assesment. Sound logic.

    Hey i gave you a perfectly honest description of your predictions for the Red Sox, which you backed up in your previous post: Murphy's Law, and a whole lot of blabber. If you can honestly sit there and say injuries haven't been part of the rough stretches the Red Sox have had have nothing to do with injuries, you're either delusional or not as smart as you think you are (which would be my choice for a reason).

    He's running full speed. How is he going to get out of the way in that situation? Please provide me a viable scenario where they're both charging at that speed, and he realizes Beltre is not stopping when it's clearly his ball and he's focused on it. Even had he realized Beltre wasn't stopping, he didn't have enough time to react. Be realistic.

    This is not even debatable.

    What doesn't seem to factor into the equation is simple logic. Wow.

    You agree with everything Mazz says, as long as it's disparaging the Red Sox. As for the article, he's not completely wrong, but he's not completely right either. Beckett and Buchholz have both had a myriad maladies for the season, and with a healthy Dice-K (like it or not) the Bard experiment probably doesn't happen, or the plug would have been pulled earlier. As you said yourself, a healthy Crawford and Ellsbury overperform their replacements not only offensively, but defensively too, which also helps the pitching staff. Ditto for Kalish, who is a great defender in RF, and they've had a rotating circus of defensive suck there all season.

    http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=7397337 This a link to the video of the collision. It's clearly Ellsbury's ball, who's the one facing the ball. Please tell me how this is his and not Beltre's fault.

    Starting pitching is not the only determining factor for a one-game matchup. Just sayin'.

    Lackey is useless because of TJ. A healthy Matsuzaka and Jenks could've at least been league average.But let's take the two of them out too and the Sox would still be number one in number of DL stints this year. Mazz is a sensationalist douchebag who you for some reason seem to worship as the voice of reason, even though the man is on Skip Bayless levels of attention whoring, (i just told you what exactly idiocy is by the way). Let me tell you something: Both have been a problem. But execution hasn't been such a big problem as of late as injuries. And i'm not saying injuries are an excuse. They are a problem which the FO hasn't been able to remedy. They're way past the threshold of excuses. Minimizing the impact of the team's injury issues does nothing to help fix what has become an inherent problem. If you want to grill the ownership of the Boston Red Sox for something, be fair and grill them for what's been obviously their fault: An inability to keep the team on the field. The rest is hyperbole.

    The assessments of HIS team are the ones based on Yankee bias. Hence the chart. But that's not the point, since he does acknowledge when he's mostly busting balls. As for the rest of your post, if you're saying most of his criticisms are based on logic, how about this one: He just said Ellsbury has suffered two impact injuries, ONE of which was avoidable. The collision with Beltre was not his fault at all, and i agree. Stop pretending it was to try and prove and absolutely asinine point. You're smarter than that.

    The Sox have had DL stints from everyone in their starting rotation sans Lester and Doubront, almost the entire lineup, most of the bullpen, and even some of the reserve starters. The Sox rank first in the Majors on days by their players on the DL and it's not even close. Injuries have passed the point where they have stopped being an excuse and have become a serious organization problem. Bad luck doesn't justify the amount of injuries the Sox have suffered the past three seasons. There has to be some sort of organizational problem.

    7th in MLB with a .990 OPS. Career ovah.

    In general, your prediction is that everything about the Red Sox sucks, has sucked or will suck. And that's no blabber brah.

    Doesn't matter. Anything can happen during the span of 4-7 games. A hot team can beat a massively superior team regardless of pitching matchups. Again, the 2011 Cardinals beat both the Phillies and Texas, two teams with superior pitching and superior offenses.
