  1. Some of it has to be an adrenaline rush or something...it's not the first time a guy has suddenly turned it on after getting traded.
  2. Score some runs please.
  3. He had 165 PA's. They put Gonzalez in RF for a bunch of games. They tried.
  4. One small consolation - when Fisk played for the WS it was a balanced schedule and the RS played the WS 12-13 times a season. Now they play each other 6-8 times a season.
  5. The Red Sox are catching a heck of a break with the pitching for the White Sox in this series. The White Sox have a lot of injuries to starters right now. Gavin Floyd was originally scheduled to pitch against us tonight and he owns us. Let's capitalize on this break.
  6. The Lowrie for Melancon trade is looking a little better. Lowrie had been slumping for about a month and is now on the DL with what could be a significant injury. Melancon has been excellent since being recalled, giving up 1 run and 10 baserunners in 15.1 innings.
  7. Well, we certainly needed that win.
  8. A home run and two walks today. Crawford comes back tomorrow. I would still hate to see Nava get traded. I have to admit, part of the reason for that is that I find him so likeable.
  9. Beckett's track record with us is pretty erratic though.
  10. I hear you. First inning and we've already made our first gaffe.
  11. Alright Nava. I think he is going to have a good game today.
  12. I had stopped paying attention to the CERA numbers for a while, but last night Remy mentioned that we were 18-10 in Shoppach's starts and that got my attention again. The won-lost records for the catchers (games they started) the past 2 years are mind-boggling. Salty 73-82 Varitek 42-22 Shoppach 18-11 VTek + Shopp 60-33
  13. Don't get me wrong, I liked Papelbon a lot and I wish we had retained him.
  14. Yes, because you can be charged with a blown save if you let inherited runners score. The funniest blown save in history was Rivera's in ALCS Game 5. He came in with runners and first and third and no outs, and because he allowed the game-tying sac fly it was a blown save.
  15. I hated it that we didn't score in the 5th after getting the first 2 men on. We missed some opportunities in the first game of the series and got away with it. But getting away with it two games in a row in the TropDump is asking too much.
  16. 5 games is a crazy high number...we're only a little more than halfway through the year. If you want to add 5 games for Paps, how many would you add for our starting pitching, which everyone agrees is the biggest problem? 10 games? Then we'd have the best record in baseball, right? Look, Paps was here last year and the year before when we missed the playoffs, and our starting pitching was better. So how does the math work here? This is just pulling numbers out of the air with nothing to back them up.
  17. Bard had 9 losses and 5 blows last year. Not quite as automatic as you're making him out to be.
  18. But 4 of those 7 runs in 'non-save situations' were in 2 games where he entered with the score tied and gave up the winning run(s). I think those situations should be treated as equal to save situations.
  19. Especially when our bullpen's collective ERA is 3.08.
  20. I have to disagree. From 1999 to 2002 the Red Sox had a better ERA than the Yankees 3 out of the 4 years and finished behind them every year. In 2001, the Yankees had a 4.02 to our 4.15, and finished 13 games ahead of us. It wasn't until 2003, when our offence became a potent force, that we were able to match up with the Yankees.
  21. No, my question is, what use does Lillibridge have to the Red Sox.
