I do my job; he should be able to do his. Sloppy baseball. No free pass there. Sorry.
-
Maybe so, but Pedroia got his glove on it. He had that play made but blew it. He has to make that play if McDime doesn't call him off.
-
None of this is Morales' fault. Castro hit a ball for a triple that was outside the zone, and was then he was victimized by careless baseball.

Sloppy sloppy baseball. Mighty Mouth blows it.

And that Yousiless failed to even make contact again?
-
-
Did anyone think the season was over after game 1? The difference is that now many intelligent fans think that its very close. We will only be able to tell retrospectively who was right.
-
Yousiless keeps showcasing his talent. What is he now? 0 for 20. Time to release him if we can't get anything for him.
-
Time will tell. If we never get close by the end of the year then we can look back and see that it was indeed over on Father's Day. If we make a run, then it was never over.
-
Even the triple Castro hit was on a pitch outside the strike zone. So far so good for Morales. We should be able to score lots of runs off Maholm

Why would you want to give up ANY prospects for a one and a half year rental-unless we get more years out of the deal, which is highly unlikely?

1. There is no objective evidence that this team is anything but mediocre. 2. To get to 93 wins we would have to play .629 baseball for the rest of the way. That translates to nearly a 102 win season. 3. Our pitching remains 12th in the AL out of the 14 teams. Thats not a formula for a 102 win season or .629 baseball for any sustained length of time. 4. We have to climb over six teams to get first place and four teams to reach the WC (second WC). Some of those teams are probably better than we are: the Rays and the Angels come to mind. 5. Although we have many games left within the ALE, all of those teams right now are better than we are and should be expected to win the majority of the games against us since we are a last place team. You are what your record says you are (Parcells).

Are you going to be saying the same thing on July 4? Aug 1? Sept 1? It will be mathmatically possible for us to make the playoffs for a long time, but it would also represent further stupidity for our FO to cash in their chips at the trade deadline for an eventuality that is so unlikely. Yeah. Thats right. Lose tonite and we should get realistic about this and start planning for NEXT YEAR. Mediocre teams rarely make the playoffs; nor do they deserve it.

Just noticed your tag line. RSFFL should probably head off to the bank early this week to apply for the loan he will need to complete his promise.
-
You are kidding, right? Because its all relative. We win+they win=we remain in last place far out of a playoff run. We lose+they win= we get so far behind that catching them (and there are a lot of them) becomes magical thinking. Yeah, its June. In two weeks it will be July. Are you guys going to say then "hey, its only July"? There is, unfortunately, a point at which its time to stop pretending we have a realistic shot at the playoffs. That time is fast approaching.
-
I agree 100% Jung. Lose tonite and its time to start plotting for next year. I volunteer to start the offseason thread. We simply cannot catch all the teams ahead of us if we get even one more game behind. Therefore, lose tonite and we should become big time sellers of the deadwood on the team but NONE of our prospects-zero. They are all big games for us now.

All the ALE teams are currently ahead in their games. For me that makes tonite a "must win" game because if we fall any farther behind at all IMO our fate is sealed. We won't catch all those teams ahead of us in that case.
