QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 07:31 PM) Most Sox pitchers pitch a lot better when they pitch at a brisk pace. That's why I hated hated hated to see mark go. He's like a pitching coach on the mound.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 07:32 PM) Yeah, because he is in spaceland all damned day with Jesus instead of listening to the pitching coach, who should be his Jesus with the amount of money Coop has f***ing earned him. How the hell do you know this to be fact? What in the world are u talking about?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 07:26 PM) I don't know why it's any more offensive than you ripping on half the members of our current team all day. What if Alex Rios was my Jesus? You asked Gavin where Jesus was today? Cheap shot and offensive.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 07:22 PM) What do you think I meant? That's why it was offensive.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 07:20 PM) How so? What did u mean by where is Jesus now?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 07:18 PM) I'm brutal on him every day. The Jesus comment was offensive.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 07:15 PM) Where is Jesus when you need him, Gavin? Some of you are brutal today on Gavin.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 06:45 PM) AJ catching Gavin no good.... Why? Flowers would make a difference? Gavin is the one who has nothing out there. His fastball isn't popping and his breaking stuff is meat so far.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 05:42 PM) I don't know if I want Dunn participating in the HR derby. It'll make that event a hell of a lot more enjoyable, but at what risk? Why would you worry about something like that? What risk? He tries to hit a bomb every at bat. What risk were you referring to?

Great post. He'll never win the fan vote, but would be a GREAT CHOICE.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 08:37 PM) Weird how you and I seem to be the only people that noticed/cared. It looked way foul to me.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 08:34 PM) Yea they certainly won't pick up the option but they restructure it with some sort of extension Why would Peavy agree to any restructuring? If Sox won't pay the option then he'll go to the highest bidder like all baseball players do.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 08:33 PM) And everything that people said would occur has. Struggled last year to build up his arm strength, and he's been great this year. Should be interesting to see who signs him. Boston or New York.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 08:31 PM) Who is saying that? The Sox have scored 0 for Peavy. Again. He pitched well enough to win. He has been getting zero support. Are you saying he gave up 4 runs so he should lose? I think he's doing what I usually do, throwing a fit that we're losing. Jake pitched a very good game and deserved to be in this game, I think most would agree. Doing this on the road, I feel he deserves to win the game or a no decision.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 08:30 PM) A pitcher with the pedigree of Jake can easily get a 8 figure yearly salary anywhere Do you remember how much time he's missed?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 08:29 PM) I think you'll be shocked at how much Peavy gets this offseason. If Dodgers don't get Hamels, I expect them to offer Peavy something like 3/45. Baseball is a crazy game, then. One great season gives a guy with history of health problems that kind of money.

QUOTE (G&T @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 08:24 PM) No one pays attention to wins. When he negotiates a new contract, those complete games will be just as valuable. Good luck to any team willing to give him more than a one or two year deal with his health history. Got to pass on Jake if you are a GM unless he'll go one or two years at six mill a year.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 08:22 PM) It is what it is, but it by no means entitles Peavy to be upset about run support. Quintana giving up a ton of runs yesterday and winning has nothing to do with it, he got lucky. I think you are wrong. The Sox bats didn't give Jake a chance. Anytime you have to pitch a shutout to get a no decision is not good.

Four runs isn't bad on the road against the Yanquis.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 08:16 PM) For Peavy to win any game he was hung with a loss on this year, he would have had to have thrown a shutout. Today appears no different. Poor Peavy. Last night was a plethora of runs. Today nothing. He has to be pissed.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 08:12 PM) Goodness he sucks. Not a good combination when you swing and miss a lot, and you have a false sense of what the strike zone is. The guy never plays. Maybe he'd be more value in the minors continue to develop. You don't need a very good backup when the guy only plays once a week. We got anybody in the minors who can catch a game a week?

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 08:06 PM) We've been shut out a lot this year. I'm sure all those times we were facing good pitchers too, but at some point we have to be able to hit good pitchers right? We can't keep getting punked... Can't win every game. Two out of four in New York will be a fine series.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 08:07 PM) This is why I don't understand why people ridicule Wise. He contributed to our team in the past and people still go after him. He has proven that he can still contribute for teams now. He's putting much better swings on the ball than anyone on our offense. He is what he is. A fine major league sub. A lot of people would kill to play in the big leagues, play a kid's game and earn that kind of pension for life. Congrats, Mr. Wise.

QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 07:11 AM) I'm in no way saying you're anti-Robin. All I'm saying is that your MAIN defense of Ozzie and why we should love him eternally is because he won a World Series. Which is something no one else did in 88 prior seasons. If Robin or anyone else wins a Series in the next decade or so that takes away Ozzie's special thing and your main defense of him. He won't nearly be as special, he'll just be another guy that won the Series. Yes he will have been the guy to break that 88 year drought, but he's also the guy that turned into an asshole and soured his legacy to lots of Sox fans. I'm glad I'm not coming across as anti Robin because I'm not anti Robin. I had heard last winter from a sportswriter who covers baseball that Robin is a very smart man and he thought he'd succeed because he's smart. He has handled himself well and looks like the kind of guy who will manage a long time if he wants to. He seems to have a pretty nice feel for it and at least right now isn't letting the pressure get to him. That could change as he grows into the job year after year, but right now he seems pretty special in going with the flow. I guess we'll have to see how gray his hair turns to see if the pressure is getting to him. He doesn't seem like the kinda guy who would dye his hair.
