I always felt that the knuckleball was cool 10-20 years ago but now every major leaguer knows how to hit it, thus putting Wakefield at a huge disadvantage.
It seems as if he's always giving up 2 or 3 runs every time he's out there
Yeah no kidding.
At this point I would give dice-K for free to whoever wants him.

Thanks God for baseball
Only that actually cures my insomnia
lol 2-10.
Jenks is a piece of btw.
Why did Boston sign this never-has been fat ass again?
Crawford is turning out to be another Gagne... .137 BA.
Pretty shocking they haven't been able to turn things around a little bit. Crawford's start wouldn't be so bad if the rest of the line-up was hitting as expected. But it seems like Pedroia is the only one with occasional contributions from others. Ellsbury, Youkilis, Scutaro, Saltalamacchia are all hitting extremely poorly as well. Makes it really tough for Pedroia and Gonzalez to carry the team.
But I won't feel bad for Boston fans. After last decade and all the success they've been able to celebrate in basically all of their sports, these are the breaks sometimes.
We figured that Scutaro and Salty would suck. At least Youk is getting on base.
Still think it's the pitchers more than Salty, Jam?
Not to pile on (okay, I'm piling on) but Victor Martinez-for-Justin Masterson is looking pretty good from the Tribe's standpoint all of a sudden. At least a little payback from the collective reaming Boston sports have given Cleveland sports over the last several years.
Go Blue Jays !!!!
lol Sox
Beckett back to 2007 form, shutting down teams?
Dammit Blue Jays !
s
Tek catching
Scutaro hit well last year, didn't he? But of course Salty was an unknown but I'm sure they expected him to perform better than V-tek the last few seasons at the plate.
I believe I said I wouldn't put it all on Salty, not that he didn't share part of the blame. I still would put it mostly on the pitchers. Or you can say the manager and pitching coach because I would have to believe that Salty isn't calling the game. I would assume Francona is calling the game.
I might give you Beckett as he really has pitched very well with Varitek his last two starts. But the other starters aren't getting bailed out by blaming Salty, especially when Lester had that great pitched game in his second start the other day.
To be honest, there's definitely been some poor hitting which has contributed to the record. And I assumed that Scutaro wouldnt hit as well as last year. (Plus it's not like we were expecting him to carry our team on the offensive end.)
And I don't think they expected Salty to hit better; it's just that Tek is getting old. Wish they resigned V-Mart, I just didn't think we'd miss him this much.
I have faith our team will turn it around... But I don't have faith in Salty or Crawford.
Salty wasn't all that great calling games when he was with the Rangers. To his credit we had a horrible pitching staff which included an over the hill Millwood and slo mo Padilla.
Go Ellsbury! Didn't think he had that kind of power. Love that "crack" off the bat.
Sure to be followed up here by Crawford going out...
Like clockwork.
Weaver 4 wins
Haren 4 wins
Red Sox 4 wins
Lol...sorry lng...I just had too
Angels fans cursed crawford since you took him from us. Lol
Seriously, the Red Sox need to hire some witch doctors and voodoo priests, maybe some exorcists too.
Maybe Lowrie stole all his hitting prowess... that kid has been on fire lately.
Damn Lowrie...did some work today
Damn LNG...Crawford must be the most expensive #7 hitter in history. lol.
Hoping for a fun series.
