    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.

    Holt, Tazawa and Koji. A utility player and two relievers.

    Textbook first inning for the Sox. Get somebody in scoring position and leave him there.

    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...
  7. 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.

    Benny took quite a few calculated risks with this rotation.

    I thought about Hurst after I posted that. I agree, he should be included. Still pissed off we let him get away too.

    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.
  11. 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.

    This staff might set some sort of record for early showers.

    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.
  14. Bellhorn04
    The only thing I would argue is that Ben should get a total pass for 2012. He took over a team that needed to be blown up and he was given no money for moves. Then Lucchino hired Valentine. Cherington's reign as GM began in 2013 IMO. Finishing last two years in a row would be pretty bad with this level of payroll.

    Show these damned Angels one more time we are now hitting lefties!
  16. Bellhorn04
    Red Sox fans are entitled, no doubt. But they're not quite as spoiled these days as they were during the golden Epstein-Francona years, when the team was expected to post 95 wins every year and generally did.
  17. Bellhorn04
    I'm afraid there are solid reasons for doubt, Kimmi. On paper, we took a 71-91 team, we added Hanley and Panda, but we subtracted Lester and Lackey. It's conceivable that Papi, Napoli and Pedroia are all in decline phases. Victorino is a no-show. Betts has been decent, but short of expectations. Panda and Nava are automatic outs against lefties. Now I guess we have to hope Castillo can bring something.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Kimmi, your attitude is terrific. But if you were to put on your objective stat-guru hat when you look at us, to forget for a moment we're your team, you'd have to concede we flat out stink.
  19. Bellhorn04
    How about this for enigmas - the Rays might win this division with a $50 million payroll, with no Moore, no Cobb, and now Smyly out for the season.

    50 Shades of Red Sox?
  21. Bellhorn04
    We now have a run differential of -42 in 42 games, so we're on pace for a differential of -162. Our Pythagorean record is 17-25.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Even when he's healthy he's day to day.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Pedroia is only making about half what the highest paid players do. Which isn't to say he isn't part of the problem with the offense. He's been awful with RISP.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, what an awesome movie. One of the best ever made.
  25. Bellhorn04
    There's no way to candy-coat it, it's a shambles. They're averaging 2.3 runs a game in May. The 'outfield overload' situation now appears to be nothing more than management confusion and dysfunction. You've got Castillo in AAA, and last night Victorino excuses himself from play with a sore calf or something, putting Nava in the game. Meanwhile Bradley is with the team for no apparent reason. Crazy.
