f*** White Flag 2.0. They should look at the big picture and do what is best for the long term goals of the team. Peavy's gone at the end of the season, Danks is hurt(probably to the point where he will be useless over the remainder of his contract) They are going to suck from 2013 until I don't know when, unload as much salary as possible and start the rebuilding process now. Unless Danks and Floyd come back in early August, are completely healthy, go on a tear, and the Sox are in 1st place when they come back, they are probably done. If they are in 1st at the deadline they should stand pat, because obviously you can't white flag it while you are in 1st place.
Seriously?
What makes you believe that? A tear of the lowest grade?
