Red Sox Nation -Check In - Page 3

Bruins Fan · 06-22-2009, 04:48 PM

He was a drag on the on the bullpen for sure.

Bruins Fan · 06-23-2009, 04:27 AM

The Red Sox are poised to open up the AL East league.
Dice-L gone,, Lugo on the bench with Nick Green playing great, Ortiz is starting to contribute, the jury is still out on him?
Five out out of the next six series against teams with losing records and the sixth is only one game over 500.

Bruins Fan · 06-23-2009, 08:44 PM

Sox pound the Nationals 11-3 Bay and Ellsbury with four hits each.
The Sox now sit five games atop the AL East

Bruins Fan · 06-24-2009, 08:16 PM

Big Papi hits his first homer away from Fenway, a three run bomb to center field, Sox on top 6-4.
Tomorrow John Smoltz makes his first Red Sox start
should be interesting to see if this guy got anything left?

The Poet · 07-04-2009, 02:26 PM

Hmmm, and the Yankees going into extra frames. Getting interesting again, just in the last week.

Tee hee hee.

Bruins Fan · 07-04-2009, 02:40 PM

No doubt, it will come down to who plays the best down the stretch.

The Poet · 07-04-2009, 03:18 PM

Yankees 6-5 in the 12th - I can hear John Sterling now:

"The Yankees win ... theeeeeee Yankees WIN!"

Tee hee hee.

Bruins Fan · 07-06-2009, 08:14 PM

Smolts get lit up again, so far this guy is a stiff.
I give him two more starts before he is gone?
NL pitchers just can't get it done in the AL.

VTDragon · 07-07-2009, 10:49 AM

You're right about Smoltz, nothing but a [FONT=Verdana]disappointment[/FONT] so far. The only decent game he pitched was the rain delayed one vs Atlanta when he looked good for 4 inninings and then was replaced after the delay. I don't know if it's the American vs. National thing or if he is just too old. It will be interesting to see how long the Sox stick with him though.

On another subject, I think it is GREAT the Wakefield made the All Star team. A well deserved (even if it is for career acheivement) award.

Lifelong Red Sox fan here.. (born and raised south of Boston).. good to know so many others are here.

I still have faith in Smoltz.. he is coming off an injury.. I think he can still get it done.

I trust him more than DiceK.

Bruins Fan · 07-07-2009, 11:21 AM

Listening to Smoltz's interviews, he freaking thinks the Sox are about rehabbing him. WRONG it's about winning ball games.
Between him and Dice-K in that spot in the rotation they are one and seven.
He should be embarrassed to get beat up by the worst offensive team in the AL.

Bruins Fan · 07-07-2009, 04:02 PM

Talk radio is burning up with the Halladay to Boston talk.
The Sox can afford him, and have a lot of major league prospects to deal.
But will JP trade within the division? Their are only a few teams that can do this deal with the Sox being the top contender?

07-07-2009, 04:16 PM

JP would be a fool to trade within division.

WEEI cracks me up though......

VTDragon · 07-08-2009, 08:43 AM

The Sox won't give up their young studs for Halladay. They will sorely need them next year when Smoltz and Penney are both gone.

taltos · 07-08-2009, 10:21 AM

A big factor would be how much time Halladay has left on his contract. I could see them giving up Buckholtz and a minor league position player prospect if Halladay is not a lame duck and has time left after this season. Will be interesting to watch as this develops.

You're right, that is the key and, yes it will be interesting.

VTDragon · 07-09-2009, 11:04 AM

Nice win by Wake last night. He is first in the Majors with 11 wins, just reiforcing his All Star selection.

I would do it in a heartbeat. The Sox would have three NO 1 starters, and all three guys pitch deep into a game, throw Dice into the mix, I think we could win two out of the next three World Series?

The Poet · 07-22-2009, 02:15 PM

LaRoche @ .247, eh? Fits well with the rest of your sluggers.

Bruins Fan · 07-26-2009, 02:51 PM

Smoltz craps the bed again, I don't care about his glory days.
I hope the Smoltz experiment is over? The guy is washed up give the ball to one of the young guys.
