You can only have one Jimenez type at a time.

I would like to see it. Sometimes a different voice can say the same things and they get through. Got to try something...he's getting progressively worse. He a valuable asset that does fit the window.

I always hoped that one of Basabe/Rutherford/Adolfo would find their way to right field and maybe one may still. Tilson & Cordell are both fine with me if that doesn't happen. Nice to have a great hitting power hitter with an arm in RF but I can live with what we have. Sox need 2 starting pitchers including one stud and 2 or 3 good pen arms. A new manager and we're good to go.

And they are both going to be very good players. Both graded out as close to the majors hitters.

Freddy Garcia could get people out. All I know is Lopez better change something. What he's 'doing ain't working.

Lopez needs to work faster...get the sign and throw the ball. I've always thought guys like him think themselves into a funk. At least when you work fast the defense isn't falling asleep.

Francona would still be leading this game 5-3. He gets annoying because of his fast hooks but he just refuses to lose without putting up a fight.

The only thing I ask of the Sox is to be entertaining. This game is not entertaining...it's maddening.

Some guy once said managers don't lose baseball games...players do. He evidently never saw Ricky manage.

Abreu has the power numbers that contenders will be looking for and who can't use a back of the pen arm.

No lead is safe with the gas can he has become.

A few more games like this and both Colome & Abreu will be on the trading block.

We shouldn't.

Just for fun...lets win this game just to spite Ricky. We can do it in spite of his clueless bullpen management.

I try hard to like Ricky but I've really tired of this crap. Joe Girardi is waiting by the phone.

Well at least we know Washington isn't done giving up runs either. Battle of the pens still favor us. I hope.

But absolutely sure Ricky is not a major league manager. Awful.

No surprise there. Absolutely horse crap management.

Hey...a Sox pitcher has been spotted in the bullpen.

Slow working pitchers drive me absolutely crazy.

Two hours to get into the bottom of the 5th inning. Lopez has 80 pitches entering the inning. Five innings is his max tonight.

That was hard to watch.

Can't be walking guys and be an effective closer.

2 wins and 12 saves... Colome has a perfect record...I assume that counts for something.

Happ is crap. Does make a nice marketing slogan.
