Re: Boston Red Sox - 2006

Talk about a team victory tonight. Congrats to Carlos on his walk-off. Maybe the Sox can play spoiler down the stretch for some teams.

We're getting healthy (somewhat).

The wild card isn't out of the question.

And oh yeah, start Tavarez next year. We'd be 20 games over .500 had we done this from the beginning.

Josh may have gotten away, but Daniel Bard is no longer a Tar Heel, officially:

Missed the game but great win.

Still alive bitches.

Re: Boston Red Sox - 2006

Great game by Gabbard tonight..Timlin looked good...great defense...

And right now it appears Papelbon's arm is just severely fatigued, but no tears were reported.

Re: Boston Red Sox - 2006

That's huge news. It wasn't sounding good leading up to the MRI and I'm relieved its nothing serious.

Gabbard pitched well again. He's throwing his name into the hat for starter next year, especially if Lester can't go coming out of spring training.

Re: Boston Red Sox - 2006

I though White Sox fans were the most hated fans? Or is it just fans that beat your team? Don't worry, we'll be putting the Red Sox out of their misery once we elimate them from the Wild Card race.

Nice prediction, Nostradamus.

Yeah, your right. I was wrong. The Yankees eliminated you guys from playoff contention weeks ago.

So are they planning on just shutting him down for awhile or what?

And what's the plan with him, do they still want to eventually make him a starter?

Yes, I'd be surprised if he pitches again this year. He needs rest and then needs to strengthen his shoulder before pitching again.

I'd like to see them make him a starter, but not sure what they'll decide.

Yeah, [you're] right. I was wrong. The Yankees eliminated you guys from playoff contention weeks ago.

And the Red Sox are doing the same to the White Sox, with the likes of Julian Tavarez and Kason Gabbard no less.

Beckett needs to throw a perfect game next time out before Sox fans end themselves.

[Thrasha]

Re: Boston Red Sox - 2006

It is now official.

I hate the Josh Beckett era.

Good job, Theo, Ben, and Jed. [end EEI-like overreaction]

Radio reaction aside, I think it's fair to say that Theo and his boys need to step up this offseason. If we were going to settle for this team as it is now, we'd probably be better off keeping those two Marlins and one Indian ... since that would have accomplished the same thing - rebuilding, and with a smaller payroll. I don't envy the pressure to compete in Boston and how it conflicts with establishing a long term plan, but the disappointing performances coupled with some big seasons for those departing doesn't really work for me.

(Disclaimer: CWood did not just say the Beckett deal was a mistake based on an Anibal Sanchez no hitter. )
