This is f*ckin' ridiculous!

What is going on with the Sox? The Craig Hansen experiment is over. He sucks! Let him go and let another team sign his overrated ass. Send Manny Delcarmen over to West Roxbury H.S. to apply for the baseball coach's position. He doesn't even know that he should cover first base on a ball to the first baseman. Also, can I please have Javy Lopez (the former Braves catcher) pitch instead of our Javier Lopez, the left handed specialist?
His bench coach should be Jason Varitek. I don't want to hear from any of you 'Tek fans, trying to tell me that "he calls a good game". You know who else calls good games? AJ Pierzynski, Joe Mauer, and Pudge Rodriguez all of them are batting between 25 to 50 points higher than our CAPTAIN. Terry Francona actually put the hit and run on in the 9th with Mike Lowell at first and Varitek at the plate. Yes, the same player who hasn't had a hit since Clinton was in office. Varitek has struck out in 5 out of his last 7 at bats. Give him an early All-Star break. He needs time off. What? Is Kevin Cash going to be any worse?
Daisuke Matsuifuckincantpitchaonetwothreeinningsaka throws way too many pitches early in games. He's spent by the fifthe inning and Tito is left to give the ball to the crappy bullpen. Other than Papelbon, our best relief pitcher is David Aardsma. He's so good that he's pitched for four different teams in four years.
One bright spot in the lineup is Dustin Pedroia. Tonight, DP has 11 total bases (HR, 3B, 2 2B). J.D. Drew had a pretty good June, but he didn't have any clutch hits. The Sox need clutch hitting now. They need clutch pitching even more!
OK, the Devil Rays (yes, I know their name is just the Rays now) are improved this year. But, for the Sox to not win any of the games they've played in Tropicana Field this year is pathetic. The Yankees have struggled and the Sox, yet afreakingain, have not capitalized. Their offense woke up tonight with a nine run inning. Great! Just in time for the Sox series this weekend!
After tonight, the Sox will be 3.5 games behind the Rays and 4 ahead of the Yankees. They need to wake up, quickly. With the Rays playing the Royals this weekend and the Sox playing the Yanks, they could be as much as 7.5 games back on their way to 3rd place by Sunday night.
Until next time....Have a Happy Fourth! Stay safe, but have fun!

This lady expresses my opinion of the Sox right now. Share your thoughts about the Sox...



This guy's a loser!

Choppy-

You've must know that 25 points translates to one hit every other week over the course of the year. I'm not defending 'Tek but stay away from 25 points on the batting average as a convincing argument.

Where's the news in home team sweeps in the Boston-Tampa story this year?
