  1. At least two of the hits he gave up were on balls outside the strike zone. Hard to prevent that.
  2. Too many pitches for Lester. He will be lucky to get through six.
  3. Seems to have put got the clubhouse toxicity not entirely correct. And the fact that the Sox intend to trade Youkilis for the best offer...is that really news?
  4. Pettite getting his ass kicked by the Mets. Good to see.
  5. We will score runs off this guy. He stinks. The question is, will Lester pitch well or lay another egg.
  6. Mighty Mouth and Gonzalez should be batting 8-9
  7. Lets get the ball out of the IF this time
  8. Over the long haul, almost certainly Crawford is better. Nava is hot, but Crawford, despite last year's abortion, is a solid OF (overpaid) who is likely to get close to his career norms for us. Great if Nava can keep this up, but I don't see that happening.
  9. We are coming for you Jacko...you and the Yankees. Soon we will catch up. Time for the Yankees to be looking over their shoulders.
  10. In preparation for the game and in the hope to maximize the chances of getting the game in tonite, the players have been asked to bring their bathing suits, swimfins, and snorkels to the park
  11. Pessimists can declare the project as lost and Bard washed up as a pitcher. Optimists can hope he regains the arm slot that allowed him to be one of the best setup men in baseball. I don't think it takes "an optimist" to hope that Bard regains his arm slot and his effectiveness as a dominant RP for the team. All that takes is to be a Red Sox fan.
  12. I think it would have been even better news if THE TEAM (ie the FO) told him that he is now a reliever. Its absurd that Bard is still calling the shots. Meanwhile, obviously, I wish him the best of luck in regaining his form.
  13. Or move Aviles to 2B and allow Ciriaco to play SS. He was impressive in ST. DL Pedroia before its too late.
  14. I agree that we do not know how it all went down. Bard is on record as saying that he prefers starting, I believe. The issue I have is that it took too long for our FO to see that the experiment was failing and that as a result, they may have ruined a very good RP.
  15. Semperfi is right. That is exactly what will happen. You know it and so does everyone else. Doesn't mean its the right way to win the most games, but its what WILL happen.
  16. Lets see. Who exactly is in charge here: Bard or the FO? Bard is under contract and team control. He should do what he is told to do, and that is what is best for the team, not what is best for Daniel Bard. I could not care less that he wanted to start. So what? He makes his request, and its either accepted or denied. Then he lives with it. Our FO blew it when they allowed him to call the shots and then refused to believe that the experiment had failed for way too long. Look at the results for proof.
  17. Pedroia is the only individual who can play second base defensively in the entire organization; hence the need for him to keep playing hurt and damaging his teams' chances at making the playoffs.
  18. Before that happens Ellsbury should be packaged for quality pitching. We have offense; we don't have enough pitching.
