Forum Post: Sox need a third catcher, IMHO
I said that a year ago. Either Varitek has to go or they need to bring in another catcher who is very strong at throwing to the bases and blocking behind the plate. Forget the hitting, VMart had to be more »

Forum Post: This team reminds me of the 1976 team
The good news is it's early May. Looking at a month and change is not a pretty picture, which is why this is still under .500. But part of that is the horrible start. This team has only one everyday p more »

Forum Post: A Realistic Look at 2011: Part II
Yes, since 1967. I disdain the Yankees, and do not see the need to imitate their payroll methods. That said, I'm not stupid enough to say gold gloves mean "nothing" and Jeter has never, ever been a go more »

Forum Post: An ALTERNATIVE to the game threads
If Expitch starts and moderates the thread, yes. If it's you, no!
Let's start with Bellsbury's baserunning blunder, against the hapless Mariners. more » -

None of those pitches to Lowrie were close. Iggy had the hard part. more »

Forum Post: Tampa and New York
Assuming Lester, Buck and Beckett stay healthy and retain their latest form, the Yankees and Rays are in big trouble. The offense was always there. If the pitching is there, the Red Sox will blow by t more »

Forum Post: Way to go Iggy! Red Sox Winner & Starting SS!!!!!
Just to be clear...... the real question is why are you arguing? 1) Would you START iggy over Lowrie, thus taking his bat out of the line-up on a consistent basis? Yes, I would, thus taking Lowrie's more »

Were they "a little puzzled" when he won the 4 other gold gloves? Are 5 gold gloves "more on reputation and PR than actual performance", when coaches and managers from other teams vote on it? You don' more »

Ellsbury was not part of the everyday lineup for the 2007 championship team.

You brought an actual pea brain to a spit ball fight, lad.

Forum Post: Should Varitek Retire at Year End, Or Play another 2 or 3 years like his Fiance Says?
The guy I saw running to first, last night, will not make it through another season unless he gets a "Wakefield". A "Wakefield" is what Ortiz won't get. It's where you get an active roster spot to sit more »

What is respectful and mature about the following manner:

"Jeter has never, ever been a good defensive SS"

Forum Post: Theo asleep at the wheel again?
We already have one terrible defensive catcher (old Varitek), and another who isn't exactly Johnny Bench. I agree that Theo could use all the depth he can find, but a strong defensive catcher would be more »

Forum Post: if Hill is gonna warm up in the 8th
Why not give the ball to the #3 best pitcher in Red Sox history, in any tough situation? more »

Forum Post: Way to go Iggy! Red Sox Winner & Starting SS!!!!!
Define "some really, really good defense"? The reason the play looked tough was because of how limited Lowrie's range is. more »

Forum Post: A Realistic Look at 2011: Part II
Jeter was never a good SS...ever. Mo, I get that, as absurd as it is. But, what about your statement that gold gloves mean "nothing". They are voted on by managers and coaches from other teams, explai more »

Forum Post: Looks like "jitterbug jake" is turning into a key player for the Sox
1-5 at leadoff is not a "good night". It's Ok for CEOs to collude and worse together, but heaven forbid if some workers try to unite to get a bigger piece of the pie. Mo, I think the MLBPA has a prett more »

Forum Post: Way to go Iggy! Red Sox Winner & Starting SS!!!!!
I project Iggy to be a likely weak MLBPA career hitter, in the lower ranges for the position of SS. But if he can field as well as Omar, a tall order, he should be in like Flint. Since Gonzo, and befo more »

I've never said fat Beckett couldn't have a good season to follow an embarrassing. Nor have I ever said that Beckett should not have been extended. I have said that Theo was an idiot for extending him more »

It's Leftist, Mo, not "liberal". Your hatred began at conception, and your use of the word "hatred" comes straight from the Democrat Party playbook. more »
In the first 26 days of the season, Jacoby Ellsbury posted a .221/.294/.429 line. Neither my sample nor your sample is particularly revealing because of their small sizes. And neither sample accounts more »
