Jon Lester was diagnosed with treatable lymphoma. Let's all rise up as a Nation and send him our thoughts and prayers. He's only 22 for God's sake... ... Great...
... My "front burner" postseason hopes died a few weeks ago as well, but the "back burner" ones are still there - and will be till we're mathematically...
Kason Gabbard and Julian Travarez (and the bullpen) just held the White Sox to two runs over two games. Who would have predicted that???? We'll take it!...
... we had this guy. Anibel Sanchez, now for the Florida Marlins, throws a no hitter tonight against Arizona. Meanwhile, Josh Beckett has been in a nightmare...
BOSTON (AP) -- The Red Sox <http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/baseball/mlb/teams/red_sox> on Tuesday acquired minor league catcher George Kottaras from San...
... I've been saying all along that it's Sanchez - and not Ramirez, that we'd end up regretting losing in the Beckett deal the most. What can I say, except...
Whilst I agree that Sanchez is more likely to be the one we regret letting go we are a long way from that being a proven fact. Those sort of deals take a lot...
I agree. But, even if we end up with the better side of the deal, there'll still be some players we regret including in it more than others. But I agree - a...
While it's good that he threw the no-hitter... it's probably based more on the fact that teams haven't seen much of him, nor much of his "good stuff", and...
I tend to agree that the jury is still somewhat out on this trade. Beckett could still turn out to be a very good, even ace starting pitcher. We also only...
That's funny. Sanchez will probobly only have 4-5 more starts this season, so 3 wins the rest of the way would be excellent. I won't bet on that either. Nic...
... You must have either MLBTV or MLBEI, since I don't think Iowa gets either Az or Fla local game telecasts? ... Since he'll barely get more than 3 more...
... I do want to clarify one thing; I'm NOT saying that I think Florida got the better end of the Beckett trade. I more than agree that the jury is most...
With three weeks left in the season, Sandy Koufax would be hard pressed to win more than three games the rest of the year. :-) zvika Zvi Shilon, Nahal Hayarkon...
Have you given up on 2006? The tragic number is now 13, for our elimination in the Wild Card race. The Sox are off to Baltimore, then a 4 game set in NY...
To address your questions: Doing a number of things - Patriot's football, went to the great BC/Clemson game saturday. Painting my house, son's football, etc. ...
True there are a lot better options right now than sitting down to watch the Sox lose. I've tuned in to most of the games, but not for very long depending on...
... I held out hope until Saturday's debacle of a game vs KC. When a team that's gonna finish the season with over 100 losses can spank us like that, it's time...
Admittedly, I don't post very often. I have still been watching because, alas I am a baseball fan. September nights have been getting chilly and it hints of...
... yahoogroups.com, "jecarney64" <jecarney64@...> ... I've given up realistic hope of making the playoffs, but I still watch casually without much intensity....
I remember. And it was not very dissimilar to what has happened this season. Our starters couldn't get deep into games and down the stretch our bullpen became,...
Agreed. In retrospect I am glad they didn't give up anything at the trading deadline. They are not deep enough to go anywhere in the playoffs if they ever...
Yes, like 2001 in the respect that the team was/is out of it by 9/1. Thankfully, this team is not like the 2001 team. In 2001 we had a bunch of disgruntled...
... But this team, unlike the '01 guys, Had Their Chance And FAILED To Take Advantage Of It! Imo, we didn't miss this year's playoffs cuz of Tek's injury,...
I agree that the division may have been there for the taking early in the season, but a lot of credit needs to go to the Yankees for overcoming thier injuries....
This is interesting, is has been quite a collapse (this is from the Joy of Sox blog) On the morning of Sunday, July 30, the Red Sox had the second-best record...
