  1. If you are realistic and admit 2012 baseball season is over and start to look at 2013 there are a lot of things you can find out. If Lavarnway is the future then play him a lot. I agree Aviles is not the answer at short. Iglesias hasn't hit at AAA. I say play Ciriaco a lot down the stretch and see what you have. If you are not going to make the playoffs at least you can find out if you might have the solutions to two of our weak spots. Worse case you find out you need a catcher and a SS. To me Lavarnway has improved his defense and Ciraco is a pain to play against. Let him play to see what he can do. If CC has his elbow taken care of (now) should be ready by spring, Ellsbury don't trade unless you can get a front line starter, Ross in a platoon in right, the rest of the infield is set , and I don't think Ortiz leaves. The starting pitching has been the problem and will continue to be a problem unless bold moves are made.
  2. I live behind enemy lines and the New York media is eating this sh__ up. The Daily News had several articles on team turmoil. Now the Sox hired Valentine because he was the anti-Tito. The media from day one said that he wouldn't last and their coverage is bias that way. They want Bobby-V gone so they can say we told you so. Based on what has gone on this year: He has not had the set daily line up all year, lost his closer in March, and the top two pitchers in rotation have been terrible most of the year. Add on top of that the stuff that has been leaked to the media. All teams have their clubhouse problems during the season, the only difference is that for most teams it doesn't end up in the papers. Now granted Bobby-V sometimes adds fuel to the fire by running his mouth. Now despite that the team is still around .500. The News also had an article that said Shoppach was behind the text. The bottom line is the New York media is laughing at the Nation right now. It makes living behind enemy lines pretty tough.
  3. This guy can't catch a break. Based on August's record and no signs pointing at the Sox making a run I say shut him down and get this taken care of. Everything I have heard is that CC is a hard worker and that makes the 6 months more realilistic then 8 months for rehab. If you go by that it would make him ready for spring training. A heavy CC for 2013 is what is best for the Sox. Its a shame because he was starting to hit and steal some bases.
  4. Good lefties are hard to find. When right I think Lester is one of these. He is still young and he someone the Red Sox have developed in their system. Is scheduled to make a 11.6 in 2013 (bargain at today's rate) and I don't think it would be wise to move him. If you get him right and Buchholtz is healthy that is a decent top of the rotation.
  5. Looks like it is going to have to be one of those games the Red Sox win 10 to 8. That is going to be tough based on who the Spanks are throwing tonight.
  6. I agree that MLB has to keep improving their testing because the cheaters are always looking for a way to beat the system. The New York Daily News had a story in the paper about Melky and this whole incident. MLB has to be kidding themselves if they think he is the only one looking to beat the system. The News also took a little jab at A-Rod by putting a little picture of him and Melky together when he was still with the Yankees. A lot of noise at the time that the Evil ones got rid of Melky because he was a bad influence on Cano. Makes you wonder the real reason the Spanks pushed him out of New York.
  7. Yesterday was a good test. When you can shut down the Evil Empire like he did that is a good sign. If he pitches like that the rest of the season then we can say he has found it and can be counted on for 2013.
  8. Bumper sticker post is priceless. I hope that same car does not also have an interior smell of chicken and beer. Because no one is taking that off your hands. It would be untradeable.
  9. "How not to win the World Series by the 2012 Sox. " "These 2012 Sox are not loving me back."
  10. Good trade. Let the kid play (Lavarnway) to see if he is a keeper. Salty is not the answer (Strikes out way to much) long term.
  11. Three perfect games this season. What is the deal with that? Only twenty-something in bb history and three this year.
  12. Melky came up in the Yankee system what do you expect.
