Joe Crede is absolutely perfect.

 

...so said SuperAgent Boras, with a twinkle in his eye

80+ pitches for Wang right now... would love to get into the Yankee bullpen early in this series

ok, the over the top pessimist bull needs to stop.

It will stop as soon as this team stops playing horrible baseball, shows no fire, has horrible pitching with an inept manager.

BRIAN ANDERSON CAN'T HIT RIGHTIES! MACKOWIAK OFFENSE SPECTACULAR!!!

Yeah, they have a really good bullpen, so let's get 'em tired early.

Does anyone in the press even ask him why he keeps continuing to trot Mack out in CF on a regular basis?

Chat room open. Link available on the top of the page underneat the Garcia banner.

remember when ozzie used to preach pitching and defense first?

somehow, I doubt that

Oh man, we need Mariotti to do that. We'd see a funny Ozzie moment, and possibly the end of his coaching days in Chicago, all at once!

Flash you should switch photos in your avatar. Cliff is no longer here. Feel free to use Freddy.

The criticism of this team is well earned. I don't know how any fan can be optimistic about the rest of this season given how this team has played and how it has been managed. We all WANT the Sox to get to the playoffs. But if you follow the team and actually watch the games, I don't see how one can actually think it is going to happen.

Red Sox 3

Royals 2

 

Twins 3

Tigers 2

Nice 2 innings by Freddy Garcia. Shame the first few were so bad. Bullpen better be ready in the 6th.

I didnt realize I needed all of my fellow Sox fans to rub it in my nose as well?

 

See, you always flip around "Dont trash the Sox" with "Gee, the Sox are AWESOME!".

 

I can see the problems, but I dont enjoy trashing the Sox and hoping bad things will happen to the team and that the manager gets fired. That sounds like a Cubs fan.

Ive loved this team through good and bad for 32 years and thats not going to change now..Thats what makes a true fan...32 years of watching and 4 playoff appearances...This season another excellent chance to do it...feel free to jump off the wagon, and dont come back!!

What you need is irrelevant. This board is for talking about the Sox. When so many of us see bad things and predict more bad things for the Sox, we're going to call it like we see it. This place would be exceptionally boring if the posts were all, "Go Sox Go!" "We're Great!" "The Sox are going to win it all!" Cheerleading is for 16 year old girls.

So saying that this team has a lot of serious problems and that I don't think they'll make it to the playoffs is "jumping off the wagon"? I've been a Sox fan all of my life and that's never going to stop. But I'm not going to close my eyes and pretend everything is fine. I prefer to be a realistic fan, and not a blind homer.

Pods will be gone next year! Book it

Once again, missing the point.

Im no blind homer, but I refuse to give in!!!
