QUOTE (RZZZA @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 05:08 PM) Really? Really? He looked terrible to me. We've seen him play great before even despite his line falling apart. But he was not anywhere near great or even good yesterday. He was throwing it too high a bunch of times. The whole team looked like they had just smoked a bunch of crystal meth before they took the field honestly. Maybe they got psyched out by playing on the road in the meadowlands The touchdown drive brought his play level from "bad" to "ok" for me. Plus, Bennett dropped a perfect touchdown pass that would have given him two.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 04:38 PM) Indeed. I blame this on the 9th inning last night. Not sure how to modify it. Dont worry Doc Brown, I got it

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 03:46 PM) It sucks, but they still got who they got. A-Gon is going to be crazy productive in the NL I'm sure. Crawford isn't a terrible player, just overpaid and has had that injury bug since he got paid. I don't know what to think about Beckett, but he should probably at least hold down his spot in the rotation. They are in salary hell for sure, but the players they got are apt to produce. I have to think that it is better to pay handsomely in dollars for players that will produce than to give away a ton of talent or dollars and get nothing. Not the worst trade ever, I don't think. Talk about going all-in, though... Crawford had TJ surgery two days ago. So they are on the hook for a player that will not even contribute this season. Beckett and Punto have seen their best days a long time ago, they will contribute but it wont be anything spectacular.

QUOTE (Cali @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 01:25 PM) After a nights sleep on it, I'm excited. Hell of a comeback that proves this team has fight. Let's face it, if the exact same thing happened to the Tigers, a lot of people here would be fellating them declaring this is when the run starts and crowing them champs. I would have thought sweeping the team with the best record in the league after getting swept by the Royals would have proved that

@dylanohernandez: The #Dodgers trade with the #Red Sox is official.

QUOTE (hawksfan61 @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 12:20 PM) I believe it was Heyman that reported Crawford only has 3 teams on his no trade list.....and one of them is the Dodgers. However, I have a hard time seeing Crawford volunteering to stay in Boston at this point. Heyman also reported Crawford already verbally agreed, just needs to sign the paperwork. Well, Boston certainly kept that racist profile while Crawford was a member. they have tried to dispel that for years, but it keeps popping up

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 12:11 PM) A case can be made that Soxtalk by and large has a thin skin. You have made this point multiple times, now stop.

The only thing I am seeing holding up this deal right now is Carl Crawford waiving his NTC. Seeing how he has never been a favorite in Boston, and he hasnt really had a good experience in Boston, I dont really think it should be long.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 10:51 AM) Mark Grace to take a leave of absence after his second recent DUI Why doesnt that guy ever have his women drive for him. Come on now

Cutler looked ok. he definitely was jittery in the pocket, he probably had some thoughts about getting planted in that turf when he visited previously. The touchdown drive to Marshall was pretty good. Marshall is a goddamn beast. I think Harvey Unga sealed his fate and guaranteed that the Bears will probably not have a FB on the roster when he whiffed on his man during the punt block. Nick Roach is not good enough to fill in for Urlacher. I pray that Brian will play this season, because if he doesnt we are in some trouble. Tillman got jobbed on a few calls, but generally had a really bad game. I expect him to play better though, he is a smart player. Peppers, holy s*** was that run stuff/almost safety crazy. McClellin was a complete nonfactor. I barely saw him.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 10:21 AM) I get that...here's the counter point. Rangers are spending $120 million this year. Right now, assuming they pick up Feldman's option, they're close to...$120 million for next year with the arb guys...and that's with no Hamilton or Napoli. They're going to have to add a ton of salary to keep those guys. For whatever reason they keep coming up with the cash. I didnt think it was possible before they ran out and grabbed Yu Darvish, but it seems like that ownership group is intent on spending with the big boys Wherever Hamilton goes, if he goes to a big city he is probably going to hire a service like Aerosmith did to keep him away from the drugs

I think Hamilton will stay in Texas. That guy has to know any big city high pressure situation is the worst thing for his addiction issues. If his handlers and family and agent dont recognize this, then I believe it will be a swift and dramatic fall.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 10:10 AM) (Boston has a ton of arbitration eligible guys who they're likely to pick up though, so those numbers don't reflect how much they actually have to spend. Ellsbury is even an Arb-3 guy next year, so that's >$12 million even if they don't extend him.) My quote was more pointing out the ridiculous about of money that LA is picking up as well as the money they have already picked up. 300+ million? In 2 months?

you know the Sox game was crazy when there is not ONE comment about the preseason game last night

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 09:40 AM) Troy Renck, Rockies ‏@TroyRenck RT @Buster_ESPN Astros say they're open to having Clemens pitch for them at age 50, but not as a stunt If he does come back to pitch. He would have played in 4 decades. With how bad that team is, how is it anything but a stunt?

Well last time Cusack paid attention to the Sox they were in the World Series and he caught all kinds of s*** for it. I will take it.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Aug 24, 2012 -> 10:36 PM) How did they score the last play? Single by PK? Wise scores on pure awesome

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 24, 2012 -> 10:27 PM) It's easy to second guess...but we were up 4 runs still with a man on first...at the very minimum you give him one more hitter...I was angry enough we even had to use Reed, let alone before he blew the lead. Humber gave up a home run to a good hitter, got an easy out, and then walked Smoak on a couple of high curve balls when the guy's swing is so long right now I don't know why you are even throwing curve balls. Sometimes s*** happens and you're not going to get a 1-2-3 inning....but no need to panic with your pitcher when he records 1 out in the first three batters with a 5 run-lead in my opinion... I just dont think Humber has earned the trust this season to get the benefit of the doubt after he gives up a homer and then a walk. I'm most disappointed in reed and the pitch calling. He was killing the Yankees with the straight change and he tries to blow away Jaso with three straight fastballs. Mind boggling

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 24, 2012 -> 10:17 PM) Yup, this can't be all on Reed. Robin has to be able to put his players in a position to succeed, like all managers, he managed that 9th inning so poorly, I don't even have words to describe it. I really don't think he did. Humber needs to grow a nut and get 3 outs. Veal, one pitch double to a .239 hitter. And reed walks two and gives up 5 runs. This one is on the players to me. Robin has had bad nights but I didn't think this was one of them

And there was much cursing. And then, much rejoicing

I dont even...he should have...wtf just happened

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Aug 24, 2012 -> 08:00 PM) Is Kevin McHale the GM of the Dodgers now? I was thinking more Isiah Thomas
