  1. BTW: these losses are not all bad. As they pile up, one after another after another after another the pressure on the owners will mount. Eventually they will break and finally do something constructive, perhaps sell the team. Sure hope the fans are booing until they are hoarse today.
  2. Well put SCM. I am not going to bother with this bunch of loser bums today either. Don't even have the game on TV. The score tells me everything I need to know.
  3. Very well thought out post E1. Just read it once and will try to look at it more critically later. I noticed, as you said here, that you focused on the offense. I believe that our FO must shift its focus to good SP prospects. You mentioned two, Barnes and Britton. What about Raynaudo? He could make it to the majors too. Other than those three I don't see much in our minor league system to help us, and that means that we are going to have to trade for them using either major league players like Ellsbury or some of the blocked minor league players. It also assumes that our FO is capable of judging which SP prospects to acquire, and frankly, I do not think that the current administration is capable of doing that. They are going to have to be fired first, before the rebuilding can begin. Finally, I notice that we are really looking at the 2015 season before the detritus from Theo Epstein's bad contracts are fully gone. Thats two more years like this year. Pretty demoralizing, isn't it.
  4. They are easy to hate, these Red Sox, but they are still our team. Not sure if you were around to root for them in the 70s and 80s, but man, talk about frustrating! Every single year it was the same thing. "Wait 'till next year". At least now they have some good players to build around and the potential to compete for a ring in a couple of years if they play their cards right.
  5. Don't kid yourself. The time for big wins ended long ago. Who are the Yankees actually competing against in the ALE this year? Go Rangers.
  6. OK boys and girls....I am off to walk the hound dog. Enjoy the game.
  7. That is old news...heard that yesterday. Celtics still need to defend the rim better. Bradley is going to be something else IMO.
  8. You know what? I am going to say this once and once only. Everyone has problems. I am 60 years old and I have heart disease and cancer. My shoulder is arthritic. I get banned and you think its going to be a big deal for me? In the grand scheme of things, its a miniscule change. I try to behave myself on this site while still expressing my own opinion here, as best I can. And I live in the moment and try very hard to maintain a good perspective in life. Yeah, its fun here, but baseball and Red Sox forums do not make the top 10 important items on the list.
  9. It has to be Aviles. s***.
  10. Thats not necessarily a bad thing Brennan. If it weren't the Yankees I would probably be wishing for just that because it will force the hand of our FO come trade deadline. We MUST be sellers and unload jerks like Ortiz and Beckett. Time to look at about 2014 as a strategy for the future.
  11. Enough Jacko. No one here needs gloating. Go to a Yankee thread if you want to gloat. Its very uncool.
  12. Loser Bum Golden Egg Award for this game goes to Josh Beckett, ace of the staff. He really showed us what he is made of this game.
  13. He has actually pitched pretty well this year. Thats his first run allowed since May 23. Wonder how many more people will come over to the DARK SIDE after this game.
  14. This game is good for entertainment value, but IMO its going to be meaningless for the Sox.
  15. The announcers on MLB TV made mention of the fact that "for all intents and purposes five runs in the first inning means the game is over". I agree.
