this series!
Boston pitchers started taking steroids by the handful I guess.![]()
I have no idea how that happened.
You are still probably above us in the rankings though.
tori hunter going 5 for his last 49 happened.
Never felt sorry for the Red Sox or Red Sox fans. But I will give them credit to start turning things around. I'm sure the last week or so has kept some Red Sox fans off the ledge for now. Lol.
What might be more impressive is how Tampa has been playing recently after their rough start too, especially without Longoria.
Definitely. If the Red Sox hit another 3 or 4 game losing streak in the next month, the heat will come up quick.
And you don't have to feel sorry for us; if we suck, we suck. No excuses for this team.
That said, nice to see that Rangers and Indians actually look decent so far, so at least we didn't go 0-6 to some scrub team.
Salty cant call a good game to save his life.
I would be surprised, moreover I would be pissed if Boston doesn't dump this mother er already in the next few weeks.
man...how can we NOT win a game against you guys.
Got me. It's like the Red Sox uniform is kryptonite to you guys.
Hopefully we'll see you in the playoffs!![]()
I still contend that if he was that bad at calling games, then he wouldn't be calling games. A good team with good management and coaching would take it out of his hands, and either the manager or the pitching coach would call the pitches, or if the pitcher was a veteran let him call it. That would reduce the backstop to just the actual catching of the baseball and throwing out runners. That's why I couldn't agree that all of it or even most of it in the early season was on Salty.
Thank God we finally won a couple games.
Got three more years at $15 million a pop beyond this season. Ouch.
How did Lackey get so bad? I thought it was a solid signing last year to be the third or fourth starter.
Boston fan?

Verlander v. Beckett Thursday has potential to be a pretty exciting match up... hopefully more so than Beckett v. Beckett was.
Was looking at stats and saw that Beckett is leading the AL in ERA. Surprised me. His return to form bodes well going forward
Haven't watched the Sawx much, but I read somewhere that he's throwing more cutters this season.
lol Dice-K
lol rice picking piece of slope eyed
Dice-K, they still pulled it out thanks to Mr. Clutch A-Gon!

They need either Lackey or Dice-K to come back as a good starter, but it's pretty clear their bad start was way overblown as they're right back in the divisional hunt, and they always dominate inter-league play. It's never completely healthy, but when it is, Beckett-Buchholz-Lester-Lackey-DiceK is the one starting rotation that's got almost as much depth as the Phillies have.
uhhh, the Giants
and, with the emergence of Vogelsong, the Giants rotation may be even better this year than last
But... I obviously expect him to come back to earth a bit. He's still a big upgrade over Zito
