    I don't think so.

    No, he certainly shouldn't be dumped during the season. Especially when the results are far from all in.

    If the third highest payroll in the game and a sound approach gets you a 22-27 with a 20-29 Pythagorean, what does this say about sound approaches and projections? Also, this is two years in a row of vastly underperforming expectations. If it was just this year it would be a bit less disturbing.

    I see no reason to demean Cherington with 'errand boy' and the like. But the reference to fantasy baseball does have some relevance for me. I have this slightly disturbing feeling that Cherington and the Sox have been taking a kind of impulsive, gambling approach with their moves. You certainly can't call it a conservative approach with the money they've thrown around. One thing they seem to have gotten right in their projections is that the AL East stinks and they're going to be able to stay in the race if they can only sniff .500 ball. Then, supposedly, they can decide whether to beef up the rotation or not. I don't know if I like any of this thinking. The bottom line is we've got a very expensive team with a 22-27 record and a run differential that's even worse. To me this is the year for both Cherington and Farrell to show what they've got. Right now it doesn't look good. And if it's the coaching that's letting us down, that's Cherington's ultimate responsibility too.

    Swihart is starting to impress.
  6. Bellhorn04
    That'd be pretty interesting. If he got along with the pitchers he could be great, because I don't think many people know more about how to pitch than Schilling.
  7. Bellhorn04
    I have very little faith this year, but I certainly still have just as much interest. Bring on the game. Go E-Rod!

    After sweeping KC, the Yankees might go on another one of their good runs and bury us in the near future.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Maybe. He's had 4 good starts and 5 horrible ones. Not a great average.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Sorry, that was just a joke.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Tanaka gave up a home run and a double to JBJ yesterday. Sorry boys but that clinches it...Tommy John.
  12. Bellhorn04
    The reason they haven't fired Chili yet is because they want to space out all the ax jobs a bit, to make things look more methodical.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Bradley homers and doubles off Tanaka...beautiful. Kind of ironic or something.

    In a related story, on Yawkey Way the s*** has been hitting the fan with a velocity of 111.11 mph.

    We're depressing because we're depressed, Kimmi. Following up a 71-91 season with a 21-26 start will do that to most fans, when you're a team with a high payroll and high expectations.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Holt, Tazawa and Koji. A utility player and two relievers.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Textbook first inning for the Sox. Get somebody in scoring position and leave him there.
  18. Bellhorn04
    The Lackey trade could easily end up costing us 5 games in the standings this year. I have a suspicion that at some point we'll get a 'leaked' story about why they really had to trade Lackey...
  19. Bellhorn04
    I can see that side of the argument, certainly. But there is another side that questions why they wouldn't be looking at the short term when they're spending this much money and going over the luxury tax limit.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Benny took quite a few calculated risks with this rotation.
  21. Bellhorn04
    I thought about Hurst after I posted that. I agree, he should be included. Still pissed off we let him get away too.
  22. Bellhorn04
    The Red Sox have had problems drafting and developing top tier starting pitchers for a long time. The only major exceptions in the last 40 years or so have been Clemens and Lester.
  23. Bellhorn04
    I really do hate to say it, but at this point all the criticisms of the pitching moves seem well founded. Our ERA stinks and meanwhile, Lester and Lackey are pitching just like their new teams hoped they would.
  24. Bellhorn04
    This staff might set some sort of record for early showers.
  25. Bellhorn04
    I'm not sure any of us are actually fans of big contracts. But I think most of us do expect the Red Sox to have a big payroll because they have big revenue.
