  1. Another way to look at this is that Buchholz only appeared in 14 games last year and threw 82 innings. While he was here he was good, but he wasn't here much. Last year Beckett and Lester were our only two consistent effective SP. We absolutely need them to pitch well. Do we also NEED CB to pitch well this year in view of the fact that we had the dual punching bags of Lackey and Wakefield (you can add Miller and Weiland to that list too) and this year we have Bard and Doubront? Not sure about that as long as Beckett and Lester pitch well. If DiceK can come back and contribute than CB could be an afterthought on the DL if he doesn't perform and we still come out ahead. The key is our two good SP and Bard and Doubront continuing to pitch well and stay healthy.
  2. Oh well. This one is ovah. I'll take a 6-1 road trip. Gotta beat the A's pitching-best in the AL.
  3. Oki had a gimmick. His delivery was so screwy that opposing batters could not help but laugh and therefore made a lot of outs against him. Tazawa seems to have a good arsenal of pitches, good velocity, and generally pretty good command. I think he will be around for a while.
  4. On paper we win this game handily. But if our Mojo Maestro Boston 22407 doesn't show up to start the game thread all bets are off. Don't think I will be on the game thread much today. Real life is going to interfere today, except possibly for short periods of time. But have at it. I will check back in later.
  5. Not sure. I think we could continue this game thread and post a reference to it so everyone could find it. There is no need to mess with the karma that dude brought the team.
  6. Where is Boston22407? We need him/her to start the game thread for today. No one else should be doing it, given the success so far he is having.
  7. Agree with most of that except for the defense. While fielding percentage only tells part of the story, right now the Sox are third in that category in the AL: http://espn.go.com/mlb/stats/team/_/stat/fielding/league/al/sort/fieldingPct/order/true I would have to grade them higher than just 5.5/10
  8. One game behind the Yankees and two behind the Rays in the lost column after tonite. Rays losing big in Texas. Sure glad none of the ALE teams is tearing it up like the Rangers.
  9. Brennan, while this is a pretty good site, the mods rightfully do not tolerate the game threads turning into trash through the use of irrelevant personal stuff. There is an ignore feature here. I used it on two people for a while when things got off target. It worked pretty well. Just some advice from a friend: use that feature rather than becoming a party to stuff that detracts from the treads. That is all I will have to say about this. Back to baseball. Enjoy a great and encouraging win.
  10. Ciao Brennan....good to be back posting with ya.
  11. Off to walk the dog. Good win. One more win tomorrow coming.
  12. Very cool. Won this game with great pitching. Good sign.
  13. ONE MORE STRIKE....DO IT!
  14. I would rather see him at 93-94 and not 97
  15. Don't overthrow the ball Alfredo.
  16. We got a closer of sorts; he will be in in the 9th unless we get a lot of runs.
  17. I like that strategy: not letting Konerko beat us. Good work by both Valentine and Padilla.
  18. That is OK by me. Take your chances with Rios.
  19. Kemp isn't playing. It was Adam Dung....I mean Dunn.
  20. I would order Padilla not to give Paully anything to hit. He is the guy that can beat us. The rest of those guys aren't as likely to do it.
  21. NO MORE TWO STRIKE HITS TEAM!
  22. Now lets see what our bullpen is made of.
