Second place, here we come, and the Rays will be right at our fucking heels. Jason Bay has turned into Tony Armas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Bay and Drew, and to a lesser extent, Nick Green turning back into a pumpkin, are killing them. And if it doesn't end soon, they will be looking up at the teams that are heading toward the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BERIGAN Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Sean McAdam is reporting that the Red Sox have traded for Adam LaRoche. I was so mad at the braves when they traded him after hitting 32 Homers, for Mike Gonzalez, but you know...it was the right trade. He is very hard to figure, a very pretty left handed swing, but its a very Loooong swing. He was one of the more vocal Pirate players about the near dismantling of the team(when Freddy Sanchez and Jack Wilson are traded, then it will be complete) And while they have gotten some talent...and made room for players like McCutchen (sp?) I wonder with their pitching, if they had Bay and Nady(well, I guess his elbow blows out no matter what) would they be in the hunt in the NL central this year??? Everyone said they had to trade them away last year. Anyway, will be interesting to see if LaRoche will hit like he normally does in the 2nd half(Instead of the .109 average for July this year) or not. He hasn't been in the playoff hunt since 2005....

Dan Gould Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 All he will be is another guy in the mix. He plays more than they were intending to play Kotsay, but how many starts does he get a week? Maybe three, if they give Lowell a lot of time off or start sitting Ortiz (or Youkilis for that matter, which would be nothing short of stupid)? So if he's going to pick it up in the second half like he usually does, he has to do it as a part-time player. I can see this being a complete failure: Full time starter becomes part-time player in a completely new league. That's a recipe for big production? And that's ignoring that he has had such a horrible July and most of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 You keep thinking it has to end soon ... it can't keep going this bad much longer, can it? But the reality is that this has only one place to end, and there can be no doubt whatsoever: In the crapper. On the outside looking in. Praying that someone - anyone - will beat the Motherfucking Yankees, because you won't even have the fucking opportunity to do it. I'm done. Finito. Enjoy the rest of the season, because the resident crank is through. Permanently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 IF by some miracle the Rangers manage to go over .500 on your club this year, THEN you may have a legitimate gripe. [snip] But until that happens (and I'm not holding my breath, just enjoying it for as long as it lasts) Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever imagined the Rangers taking the season series from the Red Sox. I mean, do you realize what has happened here? Do you know what this means??? Absolutely nothing. It's still July. Nobody's running away with anything, and everything is still possible. Of course, it wouldn't hurt my feelings at all if the m#&^#%$#&^%$&^@ing Angels would PLEASE start losing! Suck it up, Dan. The season isn't over yet, not by a long shot. If by yet another miracle the Rangers make it to the post-season and/or the Red Sox don't make it to the post-season, then yes, you could probably point to these games as turning points in the respective seasons. But I'm still not holding my breath. Not this early in the season. Not when your team is .585 and two games back, and mine is .559 and three games back. And you better get your ass back in here because when the Red Sox and Rangers do start to make my life miserable (i.e. Red Sox start winning, Rangers start plummeting), if you're not in here flying into your daily rages, then you are not allowed back on the Red Sox bandwagon. There's only room for one of us here in the loser's gutter, and I've got squatter's rights! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zen archer Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 (edited) The Sox completed the deal to send Lugo to the Cards for Chris Duncan....why would they want Duncan? From St. Louis newspaper: "Bernie Miklasz confirmed that the Red Sox will still be responsible for the remaining $13.5 million on Lugo’s contract. It’s expected that Duncan, 27, will be assigned to Pawtucket." Edited July 23, 2009 by zen archer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papsrus Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 All I gotta say is, BJ Upton plays too shallow in CF!!! He doesn't cover as much ground as people give him credit for, and invariably, when he does have to back up on a ball, he's twisting and turning and spinning all over the place to try to find it. ... They ruled it a triple, but he should have had that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quincy Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Mark Buehrle pitches a perfect game vs TB Yowsa! And to think they were looking to trade him. He's thrown a "regular" no-hitter before as well so he's in some interesting company. Like Steve Busby. (No perfect for Steve, but 2 no hitters.) When I was a kid the answer to the trivia question "Who threw the last perfect game?" was always Catfish Hunter. This worked from age 5 (1968, before I knew what a perfect game was) until just about when I graduated from high school when Len Barker threw his in '81. There have been 9 since Catfish threw one. Looks like the driest spell for a perfect game was between the last time a ChiSox threw one in 1922 until Larsen's in the World Series of 1956. While a totally different and more difficult thing to do, maybe we're getting closer to someone taking on DiMaggio's hitting streak.

As I recall one of them should have an * next to it when what sure looked like a hit was ruled an error. I'm pretty sure it involved The Zamboni Machine. (Ah yes, April 16, 1978 has an E - Reitz.)
