    Re: Boston Red Sox - 2006

    Has anyone noticed the numbers that Cla Meredith has been putting up in San Diego? He's who we traded with Josh Bard to get Mirabelli back.

    1-1 1.23 era 16K 3Walks in 22.0 innings pitched, I would kill for those numbers to be in our bullpen and not to mention he's only 23... Why him, why not just money and Bard to get Mirabelli back...

      Probably because SD had us grabbing our ankles considering the Wakefield angle.

      I missed tonight's game, glad I did. Josh Beckett, please die.

        Wow, I didn't think it was possible for a starter to walk 4 Tigers in 6 innings of work. Beckett accomplished a pretty rare feat tonight. Bravo.

          Do you really think Meredith is going to put up the same numbers vs. the NL West as he would against the American League? The Red Sox called him up in 2005. He wasn't ready and he sucked. They had to get Mirabelli back because Bard was killing Wakefield starts. I saw his stuff; it really wasn't anything that special. Just a 2 seamer with a lot of movement, and that's about it.

          I bet if Rudy Seanez goes to the NL West tomorrow, he pitches 15 scoreless innings. The fact is, there is a huge talent differential between leagues and production in one can't be compared with production in the other.

            I have to laugh at all the attention being given to Beckett "tipping his pitches". Javy Lopez was quoted today as saying he's going to check videotapes to see if Beckett is showing what pitch he's gonna throw.

            I find this to absolutely hysterical. I think everybody would agree that Lopez should probably save the time dedicated to finding Beckett's tipping and use it to figure out how to stop balls getting by him. Jason Varitek can't come back soon enough; I can't stand this clown Lopez.

              I don't think he would be putting up those same numbers but I like that he doesn't walk a bunch of people and he is only 23 and still improving. And I do think he sucked last year but you can't make a fair judgement on him considering he only pitched 2.1 innings with the Red Sox last year and walked 4, gave up 7 runs and had a 27.00 era.

              Here's to hoping our other young pitchers can turn it around like he did.

                True.

                Do batters really need to look for a pitchers tell when all he can really throw is a fastball on a rope?

                  Seeing that fairweather SOB Dennis Leary in the booth tonight at Fenway makes my skin crawl.

                      ROFL. I almost pissed myself during that segment. It'd be fun to watch the game for like, an inning with those bozos.

                      The Bill Parcells and sex hernia stuff was also pretty hilarious.

                        That was the funniest half inning that we have had all year! Dennis Leary went off on Mel Gibson. That was so funny.

                          This has game breaking inning written all over it... potentially undoing another valiant effort by Schill.

                          edit: great recovery, now we need to break Bonderman or it's Zumaya and Jones.

                            Well we did have the come from behind win off Jones in Detroit earlier this year.

                            And if we go down 123 we have our big guns up.
