  1. Bard now has 5 straight scoreless appearances. Bordering on encouraging. Keep it going Danny boy.
  2. So excited to see Sweeney in the lineup. The dude is on fire...3 extra-base hits since June 1. Seriously what is this stiff doing on the team?
  3. Sell the farm for Shields? He's not that good. He has a career ERA+ of 1.04. Away from the TropDump he has a career ERA of 4.66. His main strength is as an innings eater.
  4. This team is configured to allow everybody to blame somebody else for the mess. Cherries can blame Henry and Lucchino for not giving him more money. Henry and Lucchino can blame Epstein for the bad deals he locked them into. Valentine can blame his bosses for not giving him more control and Francona for leaving the clubhouse in a mess. The hitters can blame the starting pitchers. And the starting pitchers can blame McClure, Salty and the left side of the infield.
  5. I'm sure Valentine is frustrated but I don't think he'll quit. He's got nothing to gain by doing that.
  6. The quote in MLB Rumors says the Red Sox have 'mild interest' in Vargas. That about sums it up doesn't it? This team has mild interest in making a deadline move. They have mild interest in this season and the whole concept of winning games.
  7. His WHIP went down though. Here's the crazy splits on Jon: Home 7.39 ERA 1.75 WHIP Road 3.34 ERA 1.10 WHIP Home cookin' never tasted so bad...
  8. Yes. And beating the Yankees is always a good thing.
  9. Really good question, since he's even colder than Nava. 2 for 24, now 2 for 25 in July.
  10. Yep, he's one of the few lefties Crawford hits really well. Crazy stuff.
  11. As another poster pointed out, Crawford had a day off Thursday, day before yesterday. f***ing lunacy.
  12. Valentine is a 62-year old man. He was out of an MLB job for a decade. He had his fill of the TV gig, presumably. Now he's got a 2 year contract managing one of the big shot teams. He's probably grateful to the brass for hiring him. Whether they told him so or he realized it himself, there came a point when it occurred to him that blowing his stack on a regular basis might not be such a great idea for the future of his career as a manager. So yeah, he's just another docile puppy with a paycheck now.
  13. Valentine's comments about 'heading in the right direction' confirm that he's a whack job.
  14. Crawford's going to be shelved soon and get his operation done. Then in upcoming months we'll be treated to a bunch of stories on how excited he is for next year and how we're going to get to see the 'real Carl Crawford'.
  15. It's Daniel Bard Bobblehead Night tonight in Pawtucket. The first 4,000 fans 14 and under get one free. Apparently, if you're willing to pay you can get the special model that throws 92 MPH fastballs all over the place, many of them right at you.
  16. There's only one thing that'll stop Sweet Caroline. That's if fans like yourself at the ballpark start snapping and trying to strangle people who are singing it when we're getting our asses kicked. It could happen too.
  17. Trade Salty for God's sake. He homered again tonight, somebody would take him.
  18. Typical game for Salty. A home run, 3 K's, 10 runs for the other team and a loss.
  19. The Yankees have scored 59 runs against us in 7 games and we have 11 more games with them.
  20. Wouldn't that mean we get a couple of years of Wells for about $100 million?
  21. Really good point, SoxSport. The Sox are 11th in the league in walks this year after being in the top 3 for years.
  22. OK, to rephrase, I don't think we could make trades for Crawford or Lackey that would be anything but prohibitively stupid. We could probably trade Lackey for a low-level prospect if we paid 90% of his remaining contract.
