Forum Post: Game thread 80: Blue Jays at Red Sox
Gotta love the way they fixed Jenny up tonight, but they forget to give her the tarot cards, the crystal ball and a place to sit!

Forum Post: Jenny Dell
Don't most of the announcers say, "there's three outs?" I think you're picking on the wrong person. I don't know who puts together some of these insane interviews, but I think she saves most of them, more »

In response to 67redsox's comment: Healthy ego is one thing, pouting is another. In order to help the team you need to be a team player, iggy has some growing up to do. I'm sure dusty will give him more »

Forum Post: Your pick: Francona or Farrell?
Francona lost control of the team 3 or 4 years ago. To even think of giving him back this job is ludicrous. Most of us gave Farrell an al-inclusive Pass before the bus even got off the I-75 intersecti more »

Forum Post: Where are ALL the Doubront basher's today?????
Doubrant threw the best game of any RS pitcher this year. I think the fact he was lifted (for a pitcher who is probably headed for either the DL or Pawtucket) made it even worse. I wouldn't have lifte more »

Forum Post: How is it that Farrell Leaves Doubront in for 120 pitches on bad starts, but takes him out after 93 tonight?
In response to BosoxJoe5's comment: You have to bring your closer. If Doubrant gave up two runs in the 9th, it would have ruin this night. The goal is to build upon this going forward, you couldn't do more »
