at this point, it wouldn't hurt to have someone that could consistently show up every fifth day and at least throw strikes, so in that sense you're right. But i think we got the better of the deal with the kids. While Vizcaino is a huge disappointment after posting a sub 4 era last year with the Dbacks, RJ has almost nothing left and we got some young kids that at this point have more potential than RJ.
Remember, some of our pitching pain will go away in the upcoming years when all these kids start throwing in the majors. We have so much talent in the minors that the farm system is ranked in the top 8 (i think, although im not sure of the number). That's not bad considering we were the worst just a few years ago. |

I'm surprised the Sox offense has been so effective when you consider how ineffective Manny & Ortiz have been of late. I give a lot of credit to Theo and Tito sticking with Pedroia - for a little guy he really knows how to handle a high fastball and isn't bad defensively at all and Youk is absolutely crushing the ball. |
it's crazy how the sox were playing well in april and may when manny and ortiz weren't doing well, and since the beginning of june the team has been losing and both have been pretty hot. (admittedly, they are the only one's doing well, youk , lowell, varitek, lugo, and every1 else are suckin it up right now) Funny how that stuff works out, especially when seeing it unfold from NYC. |

Schilling just gave up a two out, bottom of the ninth single to Shannon Stewart - spoiling a no hitter that, save an error from Lugo, could've been a perfect game. Damn!
I like our chances down the stretch because our staff is full of slump-stoppers, guys that go out and give quality starts when we're not hitting (as evidenced by Schil's complete game in a 1-0 W). |

yeah...i was keeping up with the game on mlb.com and left school in the sixth inning. I just heard that info on espn when i just walked in. Incredible. I think that happened to mussina twice. Sucks for him. |

that's a typical line for farnsworth. As long as farnsworth doesn't blow the lead yankees fans are happy. It's a sad state of affairs, but that's just how it is. |

of course we're happy if the lead doesnt get blown,, regardless who comes in from the bullpen....our bullpen is awful and i'll take anything we can get...i cringe when the ball gets handed to proctor or farnsworth,,but thank god when it doesnt get handed to bruney or myers... |

na i like proctor hes the only one thats holding it down an ain t afraid to get his hands dirty (or ejected for that matter) gives the team a bit of toughness farnsworthless on the other hand yea hes a hard thrower but what good is it if u can throw 101 mph but can t make a strike christ enough with the clown car of relievers ffs |
