You honestly don't think the sox have underachieved the last 3 years?

Yes exactly this team has been a big disappointment 3 years in a row now, Manuel is an AWFUL manager.

Ok cwsox would you agree that this team has underachieved for 3 years in a row, Manuel is a terrible manager and this is a pointless thread.

If it's long term I'm taking Prior, if it's for this season and this season alone I'm taking Pedro.

Seriously, what makes you think that he's a good manager, he's absolutly terrible at managing a pen, he constantly tinkers with the lineup, he refuses to put frank at first base, and I guarantee you a good manager would never let a team go into tampa, detroit, and cleveland and absolutly get killed, a good manager would not let your team have a let down like that.

LOL whoever wins should get 2 victories.

That would be a nice gift from kenny.

I think the opposing teams have learned just to throw 3 straight breaking balls to Miguel, and he's going to strike out.

I disagree, this is a better team then 2000.

Yes that does qualify as a quality start, Garland pitched fine yesterday, most of the time when a team scores 1 run they're not going to win the game, yesterday was not Garland's fault, he's a good pitcher, and he's only going to get better.

I know they're a contender, thats what I'm saying, but being a contender doesn't mean your going to win the division.

I've been catiously optimistic since they started this hot streak, the sox will be there right down to the end, whether they win the division or not, thats a different story.

Aaron Rowand has always been one of my favorite players on the sox, but please leave him on the bench and just let Carl play, even though it seems like Everett hasn't hit great yet for the sox, he has come up with big base hits to help this club win ballgames, and also there is no way that Carlos is a better defensive player then Maggs, that's not even an argument, Maggs is much better.

I have no idea if this is true, but maybe when Paniagua is ready to go, he'll be added to the roster and Cotts will get sent down making Adkins the 5th starter, so that way they wouldn't call up Ginter for like 3 days again, just a thought.

NO, I thought for sure I was watching the wrong team, but I'm very happy to see the sox able to score a lot of runs with out a homer.

Jim and Neal are so cool! I was hoping to get Neal's autograph at the Future's Game but I didn't see him. Seeing him dominate was good enough. BTW Cotts > Harden

Wow , thanks roman I almost forgot what thread I was reading, I was almost positive this was a thread about if there is such thing as "tie goes to the runner."

Definitely ELo, but Damaso should be a nominee, he'd be my 2nd choice before both maggs and clee.

Zone him in, real him in, and light him up.

There is no doubt that are bullpen sucks right now, but how come nobody gives Wunsch credit as being a dependable reliever, it always seems Gordon and Marte are the only ones mentioned as being quality, I don't know about everybody else, but I consider Wunsch a very quality arm out of the pen.

Yeah but this is a way different sox offense then the beginning of the year, right now they are definitely a better offense then KC.

hitters: 1.Reed 2.Borchard 3.Anderson 4.Sweeney 5.Nanita pitchers: 1.Honel 2.Cotts 3.Rauch 4.Wing 5.Pacheco Don't give up on Rauch it usually takes pitchers a couple years to get back to full strength coming off of shoulder surgery, I haven't seen him pitch, but from what I've heard he's had good control this year just his fastball is a couple miles per hour slower then it was 2 years ago, lets wait until next year to jump to conclusions on Rauch.

Yeah I'm going to this game, should definitely be fun, most likely Harden is going to pitch an absolute gem, so hopefully Loaiza can keep up, and I would never doubt Loaiza.

Exactly my thoughts, now that we have shoeneweis and wunsch let damaso close, he can be a very solid closer.

Carl Everett is anything but lazy, to me Carl is the anti d'angelo jimenez.
