  1. Can anyone explain to me why Alex Cora is in the lineup today? Does he have incriminating photos of Tito?

    Seriously, this is a bonehead move by Tito. There's no excuse for it.

  1. Cora has no business being in the lineup. As for Bay batting 4th, that is not ever going to happen. He is a horrible power hitter and average at best outfielder. The only reason the sox traded for him was because he is cheap for next year and he is white.

  1. Maybe Clay should be in the Bullpen and Masterson in the starting rotation. He is horrible, sned him down for the rest of the year. Red Sox can not get any momentum when he pitches.

    Masterson just seems to have a better understanding on how to pitch, more confidence an looks like a pitcher. Clay looks lost
