Red Sox Nation -Check In

WTF Francoma what don't you know?
Evan Longoria, which I feel is the best player in Baseball and kills the Sox time after time is allowed to hit two home runs including the game winner.
It's a freakin shame Lester goes out pitches a great game strikes out 10 should have been at least 12 he was getting squeezed by some bad umpiring.
You can pin this loss on Francoma, Bard and Saito.

Can't blame the pitching for this one. Held the Rays to two runs through 9. Blame the offense for not getting off their asses to hit a couple runs in.

Yep that's true the offence has been crap, for a while now.
Tito got to start putting the best line up on the field and stop worring about players feelings.
Bay and Drew have done nothing for two months,
Teck is back to his old ways of being an easy out and should be limited to playing twice a week.
Mike Lowell should get some time at DH.
Ortiz should sit agienst leftys.

Runs down what they think the playing time for Ortiz, Lowell, Tek, Youk, and Martinez should be for the rest of the season. Interesting thoughts there.

That's basically what would do except for Kotchman he can ride the bench, and get a spot start.

If you folks don't like Tek at catcher, Martinez will be a real eye opener defensively. They moved him to first because his knees were going and because he sucked defensively at catcher. Moved him back to catcher because he was a worse first baseman. Get used to the fact that the Red Sox will pick up Tek's option for next year, as the article mentioned, he is the third most productive catcher this year.

Tek is the worst catcher in baseball he was ranked 28th a few weeks ago as far as throwing out runners?
The argument that he handles pitcher so well is nonsense.
If he was so great the pitchers should never lose a game.
At least Martinez can hit, he also made the 09 All Star team as a catcher.
We as Red Sox fans over rate our guys way to much?

Im getting sick of the lack luster pitching and terrible offense. Brad Penny is terrible, every time he pitches I want to smash my TV. Varitek cant hit a beach ball and the rest of the offense is sputtering. They need to get their **** in gear quick.
