Forum Post: The Bunt!
In response to sportsbozo1's comment: In response to Hfxsoxnut's comment: Sportsbozo, you obviously don't understand what a pink hat is-or was, actually. You're confusing pink hat with pollyanna. more »

Forum Post: Only May, but a key series . . .
softlaw is right--he did basically predict the outcome and virtually guaranteed no sweep.
southpaw777, definitely part of the ebb and flow.

Forum Post: Only May, but a key series . . .
Bump. Pretty good prediction in the OP if I do say so. I did not expect Doubront to be adequate last night nor the 9 runs the night before to support Lester. Still a long way to go, but you gotta l more »

Forum Post: CLUTCH!
Definitely clutch. But some commentators up above seem to have forgotten the exact situation. Yes, Rodney walked not two, but three Sox players, who all ended up scoring. However, he also had two ou more »

Forum Post: Middlebrooks is the key for the 2013 Red Sox Playoff Hopes
Of course the Sox need a lot of guys to contribute. Middlebrooks absolutely can't do it by himself. But the OP thesis is that a hot Middlebrooks would make the biggest difference, and that's not so more »

Forum Post: Who has gone you wish we had back ???
Too much water under the bridge to look back. Plus things keep changing this season with guys going on and off the DL.

Forum Post: We are at the Quarter Turn...
Hitting is a problem with these guys, regardless of team OPS, runs scored, whatever. I liked the five starters after a couple of cycles through the rotation I thought Ben C had done well. I still lik more »

Too bad it's not Buchholz. Looks like Mortensen could get some work, Wilson too.

Born in Boston (1940, Fort Banks, now gone), but left six months later with mom for Fort Knox to rejoin dad. I remember checking Sox box scores in the summer of 1949 in the overseas Stars & Stripes more »

Forum Post: Softlaw Endorses the job Manager John has done
Agree with softy about Farrell. I don't agree with his assessment of the players, but right now it's hard to make that case because the team is in a tailspin. I especially like Farrell pulling Lacke more »

Forum Post: Bradley v. Ellsbury
I think that's the plan for 2014--Ellsbury leaves, Bradley moves up, Sox get a draft choice.
Could that happen this summer?

Forum Post: Anybody know why Farrell didn't pinch-hit for Gomes in 9th?
In response to georom4's comment: why is Gomes playing and Bradley in AAA? Just like Drew he is sucking team oxygen because Ben was dumb enough to sign them and pay them more than anyone ever did....i more »

Forum Post: Lester vs Price
My son is in his 40's and only played 1B in high school, but he's a lefty, and that's about all it takes these days to shut down the Sox. If Price gets tired tonight, look for Abe Bialystock to go in more »

Vasquez looked pretty darn good in ST. Lavarnway should be looking over his shoulder about now.

Forum Post: Pedroia makes worst error ofhis career tonight
OK, I'm guilty too--of missing the sarcasm. It was obvious too, but I just didn't see it. Like the pop up.

Forum Post: I Love Pedroia's aggressive play, BUT-----
It wasn't an error. Should have been, but wasn't. And it's absolutely true that stuff happens, and good pitchers still take care of business. Lackey was just having a bad night, which is why Farrel more »

Forum Post: Ells choking on home-town cooking ;(
This discussion is getting needlessly complicated. Ellsbury is in a contract year and wants in the worst way to play well and especially hit well. If he does well, this can only help the Sox, who pr more »

Forum Post: Lester vs Price
Gomes made a nice catch last night, but he is horrible at the plate. Play Nava every darn day. Kick Ellsbury and Middlebrooks in the keester. Cafardo says bat Pedroia 2d, which means Victorino lead more »

Forum Post: As the Sun Sets on another Sox Season
Sun is a long way from setting. Meanwhile, I think the pitching is good enough, but the hitting is definitely struggling, and that applies primarily to recent games. Peter Abraham points out how bad more »

Forum Post: Striking out
Agree K's against our hitters are bad. Ted Williams used to choke up on the bat a little when the count went to two strikes because he believed in protecting the plate. I also agree with being aggre more »

Completely agree Farrell got this wrong and took Dempster out too soon and overtaxed the bullpen. Does Farrell have so little faith in the lineups ability to drive in more runs? Besides, Dempster ne more »
