    If Porcello going to be our #3 (or #4-they would both get one game) maybe he should start game 2, especially if we manage to win game 1. His home/away splits are quite different: 5.43/3.67 ERA and OPSa: .860/.781. Pom could start game 3, ERod game 4. You have to pitch a #3 sometime; why not game 2? Sale will pitch games 1 and 5 (if we get to game 5). Who knows...maybe Porcello still has something left.

    Going into the season I thought that the Sox had the best balanced team in the league. With Price, Sale, the reigning Cy Young winner, and Pomeranz I thought our SP was far and away the best in baseball. Add ERod and Wright and we also were deep. Then Betts, Hanley, Bogaerts, and so forth had down years offensively. I for one expected more....I thought they would be able to contend for a ring. Just happy they beat out the Yankees now.

    I can't remember....where is he working now?

    No, Farrell isn't responsible for our SP putting the team in a consistent and early hole of late, Fister being the exception. However, the guy who is leading the league in home BA wasn't in the lineup last night (Vasquez). Instead Farrell allowed Leon, who is useless with a bat in his hands, to catch. Thats a mistake. I don't much care that Fister wanted Leon. Too bad. We needed runs last night, and every night.

    Tough matchup for Benny here

    I just want to finish ahead of the Yankees. Both teams are going to lose v Houston or Cleveland, but finishing ahead of the Yankees would make it less painful.
  7. FredLynn
    Make that four of his last 8. Four runs or more in each.
  8. FredLynn
    Sale has been choking too. I think he has sucked in something like five of his last six starts.
  9. FredLynn
    Unfortunately, the opposing pitcher is looking pretty good tonight.
  10. FredLynn
    Wouldn't be ironic if FISTER, of all pitchers, pitched the pennant clinching game for us.
  11. FredLynn
    Leadoff walk....ugh
  12. FredLynn
    Fister hasn't exactly inspired confidence during his last three outings, and he is facing a team that scores 12 runs a game with some regularity. If he can somehow manage to keep us in the game until the sixth inning then our pen can take over and they are very good, usually. The key is not getting behind by 3-5 runs before we even pick up a bat, as has been the case too often lately. Overall, I am not confident that Fister can do it; its like throwing raw meat into a lions den. But baseball is a strange game......

    There is a large Jewish population in NY. Its also possible that some of the players or staff are Jewish. Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year for Jews.
  14. FredLynn
    Yom Kippur starts at sundown tonight.....the Jewish day starts at sundown. Thats probably the reason.
  15. FredLynn
    Sure....as they say, the beatdowns will continue until morale improves

    We just aren't a very good team. Thats just the way it is. And we don't have a very good manager. When we lose the lead in the ALE and become the WC at least there is a chance that Farrell will get fired.
  17. FredLynn
    The Yankees wouldn't end our season; they would just force us to play the Twins in a WC game.
  18. FredLynn
    What we need is NOT to play catchup baseball. Catchup baseball is losing baseball.
  19. FredLynn
    Well this WAS the key game. Now we have to depend on Fister to win tomorrow. Not likely, unfortunately. Not sure it would be worse to settle for the WC and play the Twins or lose to the Yankees in a one game playoff.
  20. FredLynn
    Well that was quick. Its really getting old, being behind by a crooked number before we even grab a bat.
  21. FredLynn
    Tonight's game is the key to winning the ALE IMO. If we win we are a lock to win it. If we lose, well, Fister is pitching tomorrow against the best offense in the league. Nuff said. Lose and both Pom and Sale have to win...a tough assignment. I am not counting on the Yankees to lose another game.
  22. FredLynn
    I take a size 36 shoe. Big box. Fact is, if ERod cannot win tonight its going to be very very close. I am not counting on Fister winning; no one should. And being in the position of having to win the last two games is hardly comforting. Not counting on any more Yankee losses during the regular season; they are tough at home.
  23. FredLynn
    When you have 17 losses it tells you something. Thats hard to do.
  24. FredLynn
    If we can get someone of value I am sure the Sox would consider it. He had 17 losses this year. He basically sucked all year. I admit he will likely be here next year, but he should not be on any playoff roster.
  25. FredLynn
    Neither is keeping Porcello. All I know for now is that he is very unlikely to be on the postseason roster.
