Finally the Sox are starting to play better!

Bruins Fan · 08-17-2009, 02:54 PM

Time for Theo to go.
The man has spent 100 million on Cash for Clunkers.
Clement
Lugo
Renteria
Shilling last season
Varitek
J D Drew always hurt, highest paid Red Sox.
Baldelli
Penny
Wily Mo
Colon
Gagne
Mirabelli
Smoltz
Not very good with free agents.
I am sure there are more that can be added to the list?

Sad to say, I agree with you on most all of these. Theo looks to be trying to acquire talent on the cheap and it just ain't workin'

VTDragon · 08-21-2009, 09:42 AM

the good news: Swept the Blue Jays, 1st in the wild card race, Bucholtz and Lester looked great, Big Papi, Drew and Bay are hitting, everyone seems to be getting healthier, Jerry Remy is baktonight and we now have a professional shortstop.

the bad news: Beckett imploded, 7 games behind the Evil Empire, Sox are actually thinking of bringing Dice-K back this year and Texas thinks they are the 2008 Rays.

news news: Big series with the Yankees coming up. Let's hope we're still talking about taking the AL East when it's over and are not just thinking about beating Texas.

gettysburgfreak · 08-21-2009, 10:45 AM

not to mention the pitching match up favors the yankees again this series. I think the reason Beckett did poorly his last start was V Teck did not catch him, who pretty much always catches for Beckett, and John Farrell was not available that game to go over the hitters, he was back home dealing with some family issues. As a former college pitcher I know how nice it is to have the same routine before each start and Beckett didnt have that.

The Poet · 08-17-2009, 03:03 PM

Well, we Yankees coulda warned you about a few of those - but you would not have listened to us.

gettysburgfreak · 08-21-2009, 09:16 PM

FML Boston sucks, hello wild card

The Poet · 08-22-2009, 12:24 PM

Guys, it ain't over for you yet. Nobody but an idiot is talking magic number at this point.

Bruins Fan · 08-22-2009, 06:33 PM

Sox got a little pay back today 14-1 romp

Hell they scored 11 last night that should be enough to win any game? But with a piece of crap like Penny giving up eight quick runs the game was out of hand early.

gettysburgfreak · 08-23-2009, 07:14 AM

Penny blows, his fat ass needs to hit the road. Nice to see Gonzalez actually hit one out.

Darn straight it ain't over, we might not win the division?
But If we win the wild card, the Sox will go down to a four man rotation, that means someone will see Beckett or Lester twice.
Penny is out, Wake is back this week, Dice-K should be back in two weeks, that's an 18 game winner back in the rotation.
I like our chances

Absolutely !

The Poet · 08-24-2009, 02:26 PM

OK, it's rock-and-a-hard-place time: Are you gonna pull for the Yankees to whup up on the Rangers, or is that totally anathema?

HELL NO! I don't root for them under any circumstances

My wife is at the game tonight...

Bruins Fan · 08-25-2009, 02:21 PM

More cash for clunkers , Billy Wagner to the Sox.
Just what we need, a broken down circus dog that chokes in big games.

PeteSB75 · 08-25-2009, 02:27 PM

He'll pitch an inning at most on Pap's off days. It's not like we're talking about a starter here. And we got him for basically nothing. I think it could either be a really good pickup for us or Eric Gagne 2.0...

I think it will be another failed attempt to get a broken down once former star who Theo thinks can bring back their glory old self one more time in a Boston uniform.

VTDragon · 08-26-2009, 07:50 AM

Theo is in love with these reclaimation projects for pitchers, I just don't get it. You would think that after his experiences with Gange, Smoltz, Penny et al he would have wised up by now.

gettysburgfreak · 08-26-2009, 09:53 PM

Realllllllly good to see Ortiz start to swing the bat. Offense is starting to turn it up, hopefully pitching mans up as well.
