Red Sox Nation -Check In

VTDragon · 08-04-2010, 10:33 AM

I've been busy while we moved into our new house but have been paying some attention to the boys. Injuries still are dogging this team, but at least some of the wounded are starting to come back. (even as some more go down-losing Youk really hurts)
Watched Mikey Lowell's triumphant return last night, (good for you Mikey) and now hear that Jacoby comes back tonight.
I'm still puzzled by that one...Is he a slacker? Did the club want him in Arizona? Why so long playing in Pawtucket? What do Tito and his teammates REALLY think of his VERY LONG recovery? ... I just don't know. Untill all this happened I thought he was a very talented, exciting player to watch and envisioned great things for him and the Sox. Now I question whether he will even be hear next year.
As usual - there is nothing boring about rooting for the Sox. Should be a fun series this weekend in NY. I would love to see our newly resurgent pitching shut the Evil Empire down completely for four games ... well, I can dream.

Well, no sweep in NY- just a split, but a nice couple of wins in Canada. We are still within striking distance of both the AL East and the wildcard. Hope springs eternal -so long as the pitching holds up.
Keep the faith.

Francona is making a strong case for himself as manager of the year with the way he's kept this team playing well and in contention despite the huge number of injuries to the core starting lineup.

Now if he would only take his tiring pitchers out one batter earlier.
(see Matusaka's record as evidence)

Or Poopiebum yesterday, who got tired before he even got one out.

He said he was groggy. Sounds like bull to me. He likes to throw heat and gets shelled whenever he does that and nothing else. Idiot needs to remember that he has more than one pitch.

So you're saying that BS stands for more than "blown save" here?

It may be time to swap him and Bard. I know Papelbon would be royally pissed ... tough.
We're still only 4 1/2 games out of the wildcard ... We can't afford to carry a primadonna who has clearly lost it. Pitch a few clean eigth innings and we'll talk about getting your closer role back.

Report is that the Sox claimed Johnny Damon off the waiver wire--now that would be fun
