Should be fun.

[TheoShmeo]

Hmmmm. That could be more fun than what's in store for the Sox this weekend....

This series will be like that final car ride to the vet before you put your dog down.

This series will be like that final car ride to the vet before you put your dog down.

Except in this case, after the vet says it's time to put the dog out of its misery, its owners will refuse and instead double down on medication to drag out his sorry existence for a little longer while the other dogs around the block laugh at him behind his back.

[boring girls]

...and then Ben Cherrington trades your dog for a middle reliever.

[genivive]

Oh the hell with all this.

We will win, by a lot. Middlebrooks and A-gon will homer. Hughes' arm will fall off and Cook will baffle the MFY for 7 innings. Padilla will then come in and drill Teixeria in the ass.

Make it so

[LeoCarrillo]

Can we please hit Swisher in the hip/ass/lower back already? Is there paperwork that needs to be filed and vetted by lawyers first? What's the holdup?

[NJ Fan]

I'll be there tonight. Quite possibly my only Sox game of the season.

I don't care about any of this shit, I still root for the sox, the yankees fucking suck, and I think we will sweep them.

It's sweep or sell weekend, and I vote sweep!

Ichiro, feel free to suck massively this weekend. You're basically a wash for Dewayne Wise, and you were signed to sell tickets to rich NYers (Japanese or otherwise) who have no idea that you stopped being awesome two years ago.

On MLB trade rumors, Three AL East executives said they view the Red Sox as the Yankees greatest intra-divisional threat this year."There is just too much talent on that roster for them not to contend". Lets hope the three executives are not Henry, Warner, and Lucchino and that they are right.

Win or lose, destroyed or rained out, one truth is universal and ever unchanging.



This is the way it is, the way it shall always be.


It is not about how much they win, or how much they lose, or how many banners they have, or the amount of times they've choked in the last fifteen years.
None of that changes the undeniable fact.


And nothing will ever change this fact.
That is all.

At least Slappy won't beat us!

[topps148]

I'm as unhappy with the starting pitching as anyone, but in July this is what we have:

The Sox have scored more than three runs seven times--resulting record is 4-3.
The Sox have score three or fewer runs fourteen times--resulting record is 4-10.

You can't win if you don't score.

So, let's score tonight.

This series will be like that final car ride to the vet before you put your dog down.

Which has more trade value: Dog on death row or Crawford? Feels like the dog may have more upside.

[mauidano]

Screw them all! Get mad and win. If we die; we die swinging. Win!

[collings94]

I have figured that the Yank's are out of reach for us, we have to for the wild card. Oddly enough, all of our wild card competition is playing against each other this weeked. O's and A's, Detroit and the Jays and Rays and LAA. Could be a chance to make up some serious ground.

[bill]

Alex Speier has another good article on WEEI about our prospects, if you are not familiar with them. There is no arguement Theo hamstrung the francise with free agent signings, but he did keep his promise to stock the farm, and his last draft may turn out to be his best.

You forgot to add, and the resources that the owners expend to keep the dog alive for a couple more weeks makes the owners unable to compete in the dog show next year with new, more productive dogs.

I hate the 2012 Red Sox, and I hate the Yankees for ever and ever, amen.

The only teams I hate more than the 2012 Red Sox are, in ascending order of hatred, the 2011 Red Sox and the Teixeira-era Yankees. I hate Aviles, Lackey, and Crawford less than I hate Teixeira, but more than I hate Swisher, which is saying something, because Swisher is an incredible d-bag.

I hate Saltalamacchia and Punto less than I hate Cervelli, but more than I hate Cano. And I hate A-Rod less than all of those other guys, but about the same as I hate Beckett.

When you feel visceral hatred toward six of your team's players that is greater than or equal to your hatred for A-Rod, it makes it very difficult to watch them. The only silver lining is that I don't hate anyone who has ever been a member of the Red Sox as much as I hate Teixieira.

I can't do 3-D, because I don't want to upset my stomach. But this is basically my hate-o-meter, moving left to right on the spectrum from "generally dislikeable but entertaining in a childlike way" to "Jesus Christ, I don't even want to live knowing that I have to occupy the same planet as this guy."

Wally is safe at home. Misunderstanding and of course the Boston Media just blew it up. Even a helicopter involved in the search. An employee who was scheduled to do an appearance this weekend in the costume took it home early. Sheesh. Everyone got their panties in a knot over this. Typical.

You're underestimating Bobby's genius. He'll put Nava in LF to get Cook an AB, because Cook's looked great in BP and Bobby wants to see what he has there.
