Re: Boston Red Sox: 2007
Thoughts from watching some of that ****fest at the bar...
The offense looked like it had no spark at all. They even looked asleep. This was especially true for Mike Lowell, Jason Varitek, and Coco Crisp. Those three guys look like they are in for abysmal offensive seasons.
I hate to be the pessimistic, woe is me type of fan, but I really just don't see why people like this 2007 team so much. I see a lot of people choosing them for the World Series and I just don't see it. The bottom half of the lineup is highly suspect. 90% of the bullpen is riddled with has-beens and giant question marks. The starting rotation appears kinda strong on paper, but half the rotation is filled with old farts who are likely to break down.
Does anybody have faith in Coco Crisp? I just think he's a massive bust and I would like to see them get rid of him. Varitek is cooked yet continues to be worshipped because he "can handle pitchers". Frankly, I find his game calling to be questionable at best (Okajima's first pitch was incredibly obvious), but I nor anybody else have any way of proving how well he calls a game.
So I guess you can call me negative or whatever, but until I see some shred of performance from the question marks on this team, I will continue to doubt.
Also, why did Wily Mo Pena pinch hit for J.D. Drew yesterday?
