    LOL Thorne, when the ball came off of Davis' bat: "And the shutout's going to be gone!" Think again Thorne!

    Wow!!! What a way to end the game! Great catch by Mookie!

    Well, I'm not as down on Hanley as you and the rest of the world are. I can understand the decision to trade him based on there not being any position for him to play, but I'm not advocating trading him just because he needs to disappear.

    The good news is, Breslow is starting tomorrow's game!

    I have no problem picking up Buchholz' option. I agree with the rest of your post. However, I don't think there will be room for him in the rotation to start the season, and I don't think he would be open to signing a MiLB contract, given the way he's pitched. Some team will offer him a major league contract. He is definitely worth consideration though.

    I happen to agree that there is a good chance that he will be gone. However, I don't think it's a slam dunk. If the FO is intent on trading him, it is not helping their cause to shut him down for the season. Besides that, if Hanley can play first base decently, and I have strong doubts about that, then that solves a lot of problems. If he is completely healthy, it would be in the Red Sox best interest to let him play first base the rest of the way out.

    Hill is through 7 innings of one hit ball, with 93 pitches. He has to have the FO thinking...

    Absolutely! 5-0 now! That's the way to quiet the annoying Thorne!

    I would prefer two pitchers too, but I think we would be okay with a #1, especially if our starters continue pitching like they have recently. I think it's likely that Dombrowski gets 2 pitchers though, a #1 and a #2/3. As far as Swihart goes, I know he has the most value as a catcher, but I wouldn't mind trying him at first or third.

    Go Papi! Bogaerts trying to run Pedroia over!

    OBP is still king when it comes to scoring runs. I agree that another big bat would be nice, but this team has done a pretty good job of scoring runs as is. At any rate, Dombrowski seems to think that Hanley can play a decent 1B, and from what I've read, that's the way the FO is leaning right now.
  12. Kimmi
    Of course you will!

    LOL VA. I love your thread title!

    This move is starting to make me think that the "promotion" of Hazen to GM was just a ceremonial move to give a false impression.

    I cannot believe that we lost 3 of 4 to the lowly Rays.

    Jaso needs to hire a hair stylist.

    Pablo and Hanley have not actually been out with injuries/illness. They have been pitching out of our bullpen.
  19. Kimmi
    It appears that we can only beat the good teams.
  20. Kimmi
    I disagree that it's a 3-5 year plan. It remains to be seen what moves Dombrowski makes this offseason, but a #1 starter and a rebuild of the pen should put the Sox in contention next year. Hanigan is no All Star, but he is a very good defensive catcher with experience, and he's perfect for the back up role. I don't see the Sox having Swihart and Vazquez sharing the catching duties.
  21. Kimmi
    All of the Sox starters have looked good the past couple of months. Our starters had a 3.83 ERA in August, good for 6th best in the AL and 3rd best WAR. They have a 3.32 ERA to date in September, which is 2nd in the AL, and are also 2nd this month in WAR. You have to wonder how much of the improvement is attributable to Pablo's improved defense at 3B and the improved LF defense without Hanley, how much is attributable to having Hanigan back and having Swihart becoming more comfortable and experienced behind the plate, and how much is attributable to actual adjustments/improvements made by the pitchers.
  22. Kimmi
    1. I agree that this team will contend next season. They are not far off. They have played .553 ball in August and September, and that's with the pen blowing a handful of games. 2. Thank you for pointing out again that the notion of line up protection is basically bunk. 4. For being thrown into the fire before he was ready, Swihart has done a very admirable job. He is only 23, which is really young in terms of a catcher's development.

    Go Papi!!! #502!

    Tonight begins our quest out of the cellar. Take no prisoners!
  25. Kimmi
    Because game threads still matter! Go Sox!!!
