  1. According to all the insiders a Youkilis trade is just a matter of time now, and not much time either.
  2. So does Epstein get any credit for getting Morales for nothing, or did the franchise-crippling blind squirrel merely stumble on another acorn.
  3. Ha ha, look, this FO ruins everything it touches, and as for Bard, as you can see in Fred's post above, he, Elk, Pumpsie, Muggah and Brennan called this.
  4. Fair enough. I've been watching the Sox a long time, though, and I haven't seen many players have a better on-base stretch than he is having for this long.
  5. He's an awesome leadoff hitter right now.
  6. I think a guy who could help Bard is Varitek. Bard had amazing success throwing to Varitek. Career IP ERA OPS K BB K/BB Varitek 80.1 1.79 0.523 95 20 4.75 Salty 75.1 4.66 0.690 64 45 1.42 Vmart 51.1 3.16 0.669 51 23 2.22 2011 Varitek 31.1 1.44 0.472 33 5 6.60 Salty 39.2 4.54 0.579 40 19 2.11
  7. When the offense puts up 6 you're supposed to win though.
  8. Middlebrooks seems to have all the tools to be a great hitter. He's relaxed up there and he just rips the ball with that compact stroke.
  9. Youk was a huge contributor for several years and an integral part of the 2007 championship. I'd like to see him get traded to an NL team and have some more productive years.
  10. The one I mean was in the 6th inning. I dunno, fellow poster 700 Hitter has put forth a pretty solid argument why Pedroia should stay in the lineup. I think it might be time to move him down in the order until he comes out of this.
  11. Yeah it is frustrating. My hope is that he's going through the same type of epic slump Ortiz had a few years ago and will come out of it the same way.
  12. Pedroia did hit a ball to deep right field last night. That was somewhat of a positive sign.
  13. IRT 'best players of all time', winning the Finals MVP isn't necessarily the best measure of that, of course, but basketball does seem to be a game where the best players dominate in the big moments. They've only been awarding Finals MVP since 1969 so obviously this list of winners is omitting Bill Russell and other greats. Non-bigs Michael Jordan 6 Magic Johnson 3 Larry Bird 2 Kobe Bryant 2 Bigs Tim Duncan 3 Shaquille O'Neal 3 Kareem Abdul-Jabaar 2 Hakeem Olajuwon 2
  14. I saw Pedroia on the bench a couple of games ago with nothing covering his head, and I noticed an unnerving resemblance to Les Grossman. http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/columns/ketchup/les_grossman.jpg
  15. Not saying there are excuses for putting up one run, but this guy has a career 3.5 ERA. He has had success at the major league level. Let's see how he does his next few starts against other teams.
  16. I honestly don't think our own personal work experiences have any bearing on Bard's situation. There are countless examples of work environments where employees' input is encouraged and countless more where it isn't. There are different schools of thought on which is more effective...etc. etc. The question that hasn't been answered is, why would they let Bard have this kind of input when they haven't done it with any other pitchers? The only logical answer is that they thought it was the best way to handle this particular player.
  17. What a jerk...I hope he gets lit up this year. I hate this Roger Clemens play where I want for half a season s***.
  18. The offensive outburst against the Marlins was nice, but overall the offense has sucked for the month of June. The team slugging pct. for June is down to about .400.
  19. Pedey and Gonzo have one home run between them in June.
  20. Pedey and Gonzo are futility personified right now...and they are our 2 and 3 hitters and play every day. Could be a problem.
