Re: The 2011 Boston Red Sox: This Space for Rent
The Red Sox are making Scott Baker look like an all star #1 guy. He is not. He's a solid #2 or 3.

Say, this is nice.

All you have to do the beat the Red Sox is get some pitcher out of your farm system to start. They have no answer.

Re: The 2011 Boston Red Sox: This Space for Rent
same with the yankees. these big money teams have all these scouting reports on pitchers and what they throw and when they throw it. so you bring up some no-name kid with good to average stuff and there is no scouting report - so the hitters just have to guess, and it shows. of course its not a sustainable strategy but good for a handful of losses per season.
that said: scott baker does not count as that. that was just pathetic!

They were so close to .500 a couple days ago. Just needed 1 win, and Lester was starting. He didn't have a great start, but they battled back to get a lead, which Bard promptly blew. Then, last night. Now 3 games under.
Thankfully the rest of the division is also treading water.

I wish that Boston had traded Bard, back when he was almost everyone's top target.

Papelbon can throw a strike when necessary. Usually. And he doesn't specialize in straightballs.
I fear the day when bard becomes the closer.

We'll be back.

Fixed. Only 4 AL teams are more than 3 games over .500. Get to .500 quickly and get a quick hot streak and you can leapfrog teams in a hurry.

I'll say this: I don't think Sabathia meant to do that. Now they need to make him work. Run that pitch count up, or Sabathia will make the bullpen unnecessary.

Back to within a game of .500. Once again, Lester will take the mound. I like the matchup (v Garcia), but we'll see. Series sweeps at Yankee Stadium aren't easy.

Re: The 2011 Boston Red Sox: This Space for Rent
early in the season guys at work were pointing out the recent year whan the Yanks started out poorly and came back to win the division and WS. in the context of a long season we may be better off if the sox have to work hard all year and are in a race vs. getting complacent and then trying to turn it on for October (or is it now December?)

Tuesday night is Britton vs Lackey. Hopefully the game is rained out
