Red Sox

they apparently decided that this was going to be a rebuilding year, so they're slowly phasing out the veterans in favor of young home-grown talent.

at the same time, they're trying to stay competitive... which explains why they made no major trades by the deadline last month, and have only added a player here and there as needed.

bottomline: they haven't been much fun to watch since the all-star break, and would have to start playing a hell of a lot better to make the playoffs as a wildcard.

i think we can forget about first place -- again...

Heeheehee...

Go pound sand, Kicky.

this just in:
angels 12
yanks 7

Maybe I should rephrase - what the hell happened to the Angels?

Re: Red Sox


Hmmmmmmm! They may overcome the Yanks in the end.

Ah! But the night is young, my dear. Sox have yet to play this evening.

Re: Red Sox
Nothing at all...In fact it quite nice watching them go down in that 5-game sweeping by my beloved Yankees.

(at least now I can admit to being a Yankee fan without fear of retaliation from the neighbors)

Since we're all bashing each other's teams, I'll take this opportunity to say I too hate the Yankees with all of my heart! I don't even hate Steinbrenner, just the overpaid milquetoast Yankees.

And cheer up, Sox fans. I root for the Brewers. Now that's tough. I mean, I know it sucks you can't always count on the Red Sox, but it's better than being able to count on your team getting shelled in the first four innings, two out of every five games, when no-talent hacks named Doug Davis and Dave Bush (yeah, I'd never heard of them until this year either) take the mound. So many times, hiding in a tree, I've had their brainstems in my sights, and one of these days I'm gonig to pull the trigger.

What can I say? I'm a passionate fellow. At least I'm not a Cubs fan.

The day is young.

terry francona has been on blood-thinners for the past 4 years.

not only has he been unable to stop the bleeding that is the red sawx pathetic august, he also couldn't stop himself from bleeding from the mouth sunday night after accidentally biting his cheek...

Ortiz now has trouble with his heart. I thought he had trouble rounding the bases lately, following a home run hit.

"Big Poppy" is now at the MGH. Good luck, "Big Poppy"!

I see the Loser Sox (eastern division, not to be confused with the Loser Sox of Chicago) have now lost 6 in a row! Keep up the good work!

I never cheer for the Yankees, unless they're playing the Tigers this year.


Are the Red Sox still in the wild card race, or are they effectively out of the playoffs for this year?

despite what the nay-sayers are saying up heeyuh, the sawx are still in it.

i mean c'mon!
varitek & nixon are just about ready to return.
tomorrow rosters get expanded to 40.

there's a month to go.
A LOT can happen in a month...

Maybe they just suck this year.

Regis, you are the man!
The Fat Lady has not yet begun to sing.

got tickets to sunday's game.

weather permitting, i expect to see a dominating pitching performance from young joshua...
