The last week of games meant nothing..The march to the World Series starts next week :banger

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

I don't see it happening this year:(

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Last time the Sox won the wildcard and the yankees won the east was in 04. we all now how that year ended. the team that year was simliar

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Allrighty Nation tonight is a big one!

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Lets go Red Sox :banger

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

What the hell is going on here. I've seen bad calls before, but between the angels vs sox strike zones and now a second clearly wrong call at first base, it is really looking like the umps have it in for boston.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

This crew sucks. especially the idiot on first.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

The sox are playing exactly like they've played all year. they can't hit good pitching away games

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Aaaargh.... no offense at all. Stayed up late to be frustrated.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Come on sox!!

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Not feeling to good about the Sox at this point. We need a dominant performance from our Offense.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

The Red Sox better hope that the bats wake up at Fenway tomorrow. They are looking like an old tired team right now.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Alright boys, it is time. TIME TO COWBOY UP!!

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

:tpd: We really need to pull this one.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Time to chew bubble gum and kick ass!!

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Holy hell!!!

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

95 win season and the Sox go out with a whimper.
A very strange and uneven season to say the least.
Congratulations to the Angles and their fans.
Now go out and kick some Yankee a$$ ;)

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

agreed. what a disappointment though.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

:sad

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Angels are a far better team than they have been.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

My condolences to the Red Sox fans. I was really hoping for a Yankees vs Red Sox ALCS.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Told ya!

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Well the baseball season ended on an uncharacteristic whimper for the Sox yeaterday. Congrats to the Angels, they outplayed the Sox in every aspect of the game during this series and deserved the win. I hope they don't let up and go on to beat the Evil Empire.

As for the rest of Red Sox nation ... see you in spring training.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

I live close enough that I might venture down there for a game or two.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Man, Was I happy I flipped over to the Sox-Angels game just in time to watch Papelbon blow it. Here he is afterwards watching the Angels Celebrate.

Priceless.:r

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

:ss

(That's my Red Auerbach imitation.)

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

I don't know what Theo is up to, but so far it looks like a mess?
Trying to move Lowell and pay half his salary to move him. Yes he can't play the field anymore, but In the process you piss him off.
Gonzales signs with the Jays, Theo was hoping to get him for free, bad move.
What we are left with is Lowery and Green nothing more then utility players at best.
Bay is not signed and is looking for a ton of money and five years, Soxs won't go five?
A lot of talk about giving up the farm to trade for Halladay?
What we need is some power in the middle of the lineup, Ortiz is done he don't produce the big hits, no one is scared of him they throw fast balls by him and put the shift on.
We have a lot of holes to fill.
What do you think Nation?

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Well, I think you've already won your share of rings for this century. :ss

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

I think it's football season! haha

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Good bye Mikey Lowell, we'll miss you. You showed up every day, were always a professional, gave 100% all the time and exceeded everyone's expectations.

Theo -- we need a third baseman, (or even first baseman if Youk moves over)

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

I am almost certain Youk will be going to third which was his position originally. I am nervous about the Sox this year.....

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Well it looks like the Sox are clearing the way for something big?
If it is to sign Adrian Beltre, this won't make them a better team and Theo should be fired.
The logical thing to do would move Lowell to first and Youk to third and save millions of dollars.
This team is a mess as it stands:td

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Wow Theo, Boof Bonser more cash for clunkers:td

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

I can't believe that they are poised to let Jason Bay walk. Considering what they pay JD Drew, to let Bay go for a few million is insanity. I know they are saying it's all about the years, but really doesn't an extra year simply translate to some money? Witness the dough they are throwing away to get rid of Mike Lowell, (a move I will never understand - he can play first and he can DH). I know it's still early in the hot stove season , but I'm concerned.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

John Lackey is taking a physical right now, a deal might be close:D

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Looks like we can pencil John Lackey in for our #3 starter. Not a bad top of the rotation!! :tu

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Lackey is a stud. Hopefully he continues to pitch well and it pays off.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Red Sox are also about to sign Mike Cameron. Does not help the whole age thing and pretty much secures Bay not coming back.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

It's not the money it's the years. The Sox were willing to pay 60 mil for four years. Bays agent broke it off he wants 5 years, Bays a good player but not a great player, A average left fielder at best, he hit a career high 36 homers Fenway Park was kind to him.
I hate to see him go , but Cameron age 36 will be a upgrade defensively,and still has some pop in his bat?
Theo is not done yet something still has to be done in the infield ?

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

I'm feeling more optimistic after signing Lackey. I don't know about Cameron .... still think they should have kept Bay. Now for an infielder ....

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Cameron hits lefty's very well, and most likely will split time with Jeremy Hermida that they got from the Marlins?

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

It's Truck Day:tu
http://www.boston.com/sports/basebal...truck_d_1.html

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Opening day on a Sunday night.
I know a lot of people are pissed, it breaks the tradition of calling in sick to work, and getting a good buzz on before the game.
Damn you ESPN :r

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Not pissed about it being on sunday, pissed that it's on ESPN!!!! Got to listen to blabber all night long woohoo
Go Sox!!!

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

I'm not feeling it with this year's Sox. I'm skeptical of the whole pitching and defense philosophy, especially in the AL.

:tpd: Where are the RBI's gonna come from? Relief pitching hasn't looked good, either.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Theos new catch phrase is run prevention :rolleyes:
I hope to see a deal for Adrian Gonzalez around the trading deadline :banger

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Gonzalez ain't helping if they're playing .500 ball.

My wife scored me tickets to Wednesday's game. I haven't been to FW in a couple years. It'll be nice to get back there. Lets hope the Bos/NY series starts like it did last year.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

How about little Joshua Sacco!!! "Screw 'em" I loved it. :=:
