    ... but in a city where you'd better follow the orders of your true bosses -- unless you want a tracheotomy with a ballpoint pen from Doctor Joe Pesci.

    It's ok, the schedule balances out next year in Vegas, when the Stros, Rangers, Angels and Ms will waste energy staying up more nights gambling and being escorted into other depths of depravity (lucky dogs).
  3. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    That would go against every fiber of Bloom's rebuild... unless, say a highly-touted youngster turns out to have questionable character on anti-social media.

    You know better than to expect anything out of the ortinary.
  5. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    First and third, no outs, and Cora knew the match-ups at the bottom of the order were so bad, that he sent Christian ArroySlow -- hoping that Vazquez would throw the Sox a run. Nada.
  6. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    ... unless they're trying to convert to a tallstop.

    Ask Correa to check his invisible wrist watch... does anyone even wear an invisible watch these days? Hold on, I'll Google it on my fake phone..

    Kike... official on-field E leader, but unofficial off-field clubhouse/dugout leader -- of a winning MLB team -- from bleached head to neon toes. Mondesi... all we are is dust in the wind.

    He's writing his autobiography right now, which he hopes will go directly onto the syllabus at Yale's Classic Dept. Working title: The Godyssey... by Homer Donors

    Indeed, it would seem the front office can now justify keeping him around just for blow-outs, and consider his $10 million salary as an insurance premium to preserve the rest of the staff for more meaningful, high leverage innings this summer.
  11. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    If we're really going to address the Kluber in the room, then let's not deny him his save. If you ask Buxton, Lewis and Kepler, they just may acknowledge he saved their night by serving them all meatballs.
  12. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    ... and both are better right now than the phantom Mondesi.
  13. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Your last sentence seems to contradict your first sentence. Then again, maybe these Red Sox are only a few players shy of being great: Brooks Robinson at third base, Mark Belanger at shortstop, and Paul Blair in centerfield...

    After once giving away a Cy Young ace reliever in Sparky Lyle -- to the Yankees, no less (for Danny Cater, a singles-hitting first baseman), the Red Sox were the first team in the first free agent winter to sign an ace... in closer Bill Campbell. Then Zimmer burned him out in his first season and the guy was never the same...
  15. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    We have each presented opposite views on when it may be best to invest in acquiring an ace. It makes sense to many posters to wait until a team is closer to contention before wasting resources -- and as some allude to -- a pitcher's prime. Other fans that have endured or seen rebuilds over the years also value the impact a top of the rotation starter has on the workload of the entire pitching staff, and even taking some pressure off of the defense and offense.
  16. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    We need some bottom of the rotation openers. And zip-lock bags, for easy closing. But not the kind that leech toxins into leftovers. Because WAR is not healthy for children and other living things.

    MLB.com just listed 10 trade chips and where they might land. According to the article, not one single pitcher or even player on the list is headed to Boston. But Bieber, Giolito, Flaherty, Stroman and ERod are all rumored to go to either the Angels, Mets, Padres, Dodgers, Astros, Phils, Braves, Giants, Rays, Orioles, and even the freaking D-backs....
  18. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    None of those pitching prospects swapped by Boston were as good as Bello is so far in a big league Red Sox uniform. To trade Bello now would've been closer to giving up Lester, after he won the World Series in '07 (Bello's ERA is half a run better, but with another half season to go).
  19. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    When revisiting trades for previous ace pitchers that won rings in Boston -- Pedro, Schilling, Beckett, Sale -- it's worth considering that in every deal, at least one of the Sox' then-best pitching prospects were included...
  20. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Chaimpathetical, to Tito: "If we throw in Dalbec, you can keep Bieber, as long as you substitute one of your other starters currently on the IL..."
  21. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    The up and down Red Sox are maybe too hard to predict, but at least the younger players are trending positive lately. If a month from now, the Sox are still over .500 and a game or two on either side of a wild card, wouldn't fans deserve to be outraged by a sell off? Boston seems to play to the level of competition, but nine July games vs. Oakland (6) and the Cubs (3) don't have the feel of impending doom like a year ago, when upcoming AL East opponents loomed ominously.
  22. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    It's true, Refsnyder didn't break his bat.
  23. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    I can't believe on an 0-2 pitch that the Twins catcher called for a bases-loaded triple. CERAusly.
  24. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    The Red Sox have become so cheap they pinch-hit for a guy with three doubles just so he won't break any more bats.
  25. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    It's ok, we got Double Trouble up...
