WE suck again!!!!

Time to clean house.  This team is going nowhere.  Sell, Sell, Sell!!!

You’re looking at it all wrong! We’re creeping up the standings for the upcoming draft:

Time to start selling….

Dismantle the ship

Have been saying for weeks that this team does not have what it takes…I hope that Cherrington FINALLY realizes that…stop drinking the Kool Aid man…they don’t have it…plan for next year…

Trade Sweeney/Ellsbury/Shoppach/Beckett and a couple of relievers…bring some young kids up to provide a spark to this team…win or lose it will be better than this sad sack bunch…

With no pressure maybe they will win…and if they don’t…at least some kids get major league exposure…

Sending the same guys out there and somehow expecting different results…is THE definition of insanity…

Bobby V manager of the year!!!! This guy couldn’t manager his way out of a paper bag

I’m so sick of this team, being a life long Red Sox fan I’m simply going to start following Pawtucket, it’ll be more interesting, a lot less negativity and I’ll get to see how the hard working people play the game.  Tonight was simply rotten all the way around, After his first 3 games, Crawford has gone in the toilet, he looked like a “Bad News Bear” tonight, flailing at the plate, flubbing in the field, wow 142 million I was a big backer of his and swore he’d come back strong, but the guy lacks courage, you just have to suck it in and play hard. he’s not doing that, he looks so lost at the plate, also in the field, he and Lester ought to have a confidence contest!  Sorry to get down on them, but they contribute to a terrible team, I think there is no spark at all, a flat out poor effort, 10 hits one run!  Good grief, how long is this going to last?  I’m raising the white flag and following Pawtucket.

It was a “team effort”

I do intend on becoming Manager of the year, then it will be free delicious wrap sandwiches for everyone!!!  I did invent the wrap you know.

inefficacious team

   Blaming the manager is a cop-out.  If I called myself ‘Grady Little’ I wouldn’t be blaming
any manager!   

Carl’s problems must be because he was lower in the order last year than he wanted to be

Of course it’s early, of course, he lacks the benefit of spring training, but for
those who have etched in their minds the deplorable performance and wretched
plate discipline he provided us in 2011, Carl Crawford, today being suckered into
lunging and missing those low and away pitches and his mediocre play in the field,
suggests we are in for more, not less, wincing and cringing in 2012.

As old friend Tek would say, surreal.

Look what the worst pitching coach, Bob McClure, and the worst Trainer and Strength Coach, Rich Jameyson and Pat Sandora, have produced this year.  A team full of injured and unprepared pitchers (have you ever seen a staff of pitchers more dysfunctional or discombobulated before in Red Sox history?) and out of shape players who become injured at the most basic times has become typical for this team.  From all accounts McClure barely communicates with the manager.  He obviously cannot or won’t (or both) work with pitchers in an effective way.  He shouldn’t be on the team any longer. My recommendation is to terminate him immediately.

It sure looks like Crawford should have the UCL surgery, something, btw, that seems to happen so often on this team that someone should be asking the upper front office management what they are doing wrong, NOW, so it can be changed and prevented in the future and so Crawford is back for spring training in 2013.

Nobody should be thinking about trading the Red Sox’s best prospects.  They will be needed, and nobody that great is out there to be had, and if the players out there are traded for the current coaching and trainers will just screw them up, obviously, like Jon Lester has been.

Bobby Valentine is no Houdini as manager, but he’s not the biggest problem.  The team misses Farrell, but they had the chance to get people to coach and manage who would do just fine.  They did not.

It must be hard for the hitters to battle back so hard, so often.  That cannot be easy and it has to be frustrating.

Think about it, Red Sox Nation, before you grasp at straws and before you let YOUR frustration get the better of you.

Thank you.

Or he needs Tommy John surgery and is playing injured with his UCL. I’d ask how he injured his UCL when he was rehabbing his wrist. Why did it happen? Who was responsible for his rehabbing routine? What does it say that your $142 million dollar man requires Tommy John surgery after rehabbing a wrist injury? Is this injury a freak or an indicator that you have the wrong personnel hired to conduct the rehabilitation? Make your evaluation properly and move on from there.

We’re just 2.5 games ahead of the Marlins, and they’re selling. I hope ownership has the courage to do the same. With the new CBA, it makes sense to throw the occasional season. Picks and the cash to pay them are hard to come by. Give some interesting prospects like Lavarnway a shot, give some bullpen arms an opportunity to see if they might be starter material, give the fan base a chance to lower their expectations and stop complaining, and the team will be better positioned for next year. It will be more fun to watch overachieving prospects and journeymen than underachieving veterans. And prospects from trades and draft picks seem clearly to be the best way to get pitching these days without overpaying marginal starters….

The expanded wild card is a new market inefficiency, as it makes it harder for a wild card team to progress to the next round, while simultaneously giving more teams hope before the trade deadline. Have the courage to exploit it.

Bobby V. has not created the problems of this year’s team.

If you think any team wants to give you their good players in exchange for your bad players you are a dope

The Red Sox have struggled in large part because of bad starting pitching. They have plenty of useful players that could net prospects.

If so, only do it for the right prospects and that includes the very poorly assembled coaching and training staff.  Whoever forced this motley crew on Valentine should be chastised or fired, too, and I am thinking about Luccino, who I realize probably won’t be treated to my recommended actions.

i was refering to all Red Sox fans who want to trade playesrs who are doing badly Red Sox fans are generally idiots

I agree on McClure, there’s too much pitching talent on this team to be as bad as they have been. I think Lester needs some time off, put him on the DL with some make-up injury. Then send him down to Ft Myers and let him get his confidence back. Then put Frankie Mo back in the rotation. Then bring up somebody from Pawtucket. Why did we give Germano away? I don’t know about Crawford, maybe the city and Red Sox Nation have overwhelmed him. Perhaps he’d be better in a “smaller” location, maybe back to Tampa. Get rid of Lackey, he’s a cancer in that clubhouse. Finally, let Bobby V finish out the year and then make him a roving scout (or something) – he’s clueless.

Good thinking about placing Lester on the DL, so he can have a rehab stint with the PawSox.  Otherwise, he’d just decline the option. 

I don’t know what to make of Crawford.  I have no doubt that he gives 100%.  He seems to be pressing, swinging at pitches that are definitely out of the strike zone, being fooled with pitches that are outside and low that he seemingly tries to pull.

I wish he and the speed merchants of the team, with the exception of Ellsbury, who doesn’t have the bad habits of the others, would just follow the Major League and Major League II advice, put it on the ground where fielders aren’t and use their speed to get on base.  Then we could play more small ball and advance the runners, hit and run more, get some good fastballs to hit for the power hitters, and I have the feeling the batting averages would go up and we’d score more runs against the better pitchers in the league.  For the Red Sox, it’s either feast or famine when it comes to scoring runs, and this way we might be more consistent.

Check out the prospects great night on Tuesday!

HORRIBLE! “With the Dolphin’s overtime win…?!” Know your facts before reporting!!!!! The Dolphins won in regulation!!!!!!!!

Switch the 49ers to number two, no way ATL is better there schedule is weak

Go kill yourself. Falcons all day. Oh yeah and 3 straight 300 yard games is servicable. Check if you have all your chromesomes.

Frankly the 9ers are terrifying right now.  Only the mistakes of a rookie QB can derail them at this point.
