Red Sox 2015 Season ...............

[borg]

The Red Sox need to restrain themselves from making trades with St Louis.
Mujica, Craig, Kelly........crappy players costing the team $30 mill + ...all the while Lackey is having a nice season at $500 k.
The Red Sox are to the Cardinals what the Dodgers are to the Red Sox....dumping grounds.

And today, firing the pitching coach....which seems reasonable because the entire staff is pitiful.......But why not the hitting coach. Similar sucktitude by his disciples. Never seen so many batters under the mendoza line

 

[captain stone]

I agree with the above. As of today it's obvious that we would be better with Lester & Lackey instead of Porcello, Kelly & Craig. Another Fail for Benny Cherry.

 

[varjao]

What The hell how did they managed to lose this game against Toronto winning for 8x1

 

[borg]

Think about the awful pieces Cherington has assembled.....and the cost

Porcello......$20 mill /
Fat Panda....$19 mill/
Han Ram......$22 mill/....(A DH in waiting getting OF $$$$......a 33% overpay by Ben)
Craig.............$7 mill/
Napoli..........$16 mil
Victorino.....$13 mill
Koji................$9.5 mill/
Masterson.......$9.5
Ortiz...............$16 mill
Castillo...........$11 mill/
Miley.............$6.4 mill/

Total....$149.4 mill of salary THIS YEAR.........and they ALL ARE TERRIBLE. Every wasted $$$ has Cherington's finger prints on it (Buchholz is a Theo creation)
Here's the questions going forward.
Does Boston have the guts to sit Ortiz so his 2016 contract doesn't vest?
Who will be in charge of spending next offseason to replace Victorino, Napoli, Ortiz (hopefully), Masterson....That's $55 mill in freed up cash to spend. Does Henry trust Ben again?.
I look at the every day players on the above list and can't get past how unathletic a group they are (except Castillo who could fail a drug test any day now).
Sure...when Ortiz finally retires/Napoli exits.....the Sandoval/Han Ram duo will get redeployed and hopefully that will shore up two horrendously defended positions......but that leaves two every day slots to be filled again.
I'm scared for the Red Sox future

 

[captain insano]

dont forget bill james. he needs to be **** canned along with cherrington. then the owners need to sell the team. this team is screwed.

I had the good fortune of spending this past week on Martha's Vineyard, so that meant I had the mis-fortune of watching this disgrace on TV every day.
Everything about this organization - from the front office to the manager to the players - is rotten to the core. Every move made is the wrong one, and the only ones who seem to care are Pedroia & Holt.
This Dominican clique needs to be lanced like the festering sore that it is, including its ringleader the loud-mouthed, washed-up Ortiz who, if he were a true leader, would have DEMANDED that the Fat Panda come to ST in the best damn shape of his life.

I feel sorry for Pedroia & Holt. The rest of them - except for maybe Bogarts & Swihart - can suck it.

The reality in today's MLB is that team's sign the best young players early....leaving a bunch of wart riddled "names" in the FA pool. If your drafting/development system fails as badly as Boston's, you overpay for over the hill one tool players. Think of all the pitchers Boston has drafted over the past decade.......with NOTHING to show for it. Epic failure.........and the solution is to overpay for other team's cast offs.
The future is bleak. The kids have no power, the fatties have no athleticism, the pitchers are a collection of JAGs. Imagine Masterson cashing $9 million in checks this year after his 2014 failures? Reclamations should cost league minimum....yet Boston always overpays for garbage disguised as "hope." And they keep repeating this failed formula year after year.
Henry's assets are failing (in the win column....not the P&L column) on two continents. Like in Boston, his FA purchases at Liverpool have also been a disaster this year. Each team can't score, can't defend....with too many underwhelming overpaid players in their wrong natural positions.
Henry should move on......His futures trading system ran its course (I know employees that work there), his money ball baseball system is failing now that all teams can spend, and he has no business in soccer. Wishful thinking

 

[captain stone]

Completely agree with the above, and now even Pedroia's *****ing about the press coverage being too negative. Et tu, Petey?

I'll also add Uehara to the very, very small list of those who are even remotely earning their money, though he certainly isn't the lights-out closer he was 2 years ago.

Lost in the Lester giveaway was Johnny Gomes. Think the Dead Sux miss his presence?

And finally, damn but I completely despise AJ Pierzynski.

Captain......you were pitching a no hitter until you brought Johnny Gomes into the equation. The infamous "Gomes presence" has yet to impact his latest team...the Atlanta Braves....his 6th different team. I just don't see everyday star MLB players rallying behind this jarhead hack with an oversized sense of self worth......IMHO

 

[captain stone]

TBH, I had forgotten where he was playing until I saw the Sux-Braves game and he made a terrific catch in LF.

 

[IcyPatriot]

I hope we're sellers at the trade deadline ...

We were 10-6 with Pedroia injured .... interesting.
Fat phuck panda made a 4 run error this guy hasn't seen his **** in a few years ... keep eating Pablo have another pastalito... and Hanley stared at a ball hit right at him ... good grief. I don't blame Cherrington ... I blame needle **** John Henry who wanted both players to sell tickets ... how's that working for you John .

How's that for an incoherent rant ....

 

[IcyPatriot]

So after going 0/4 in California the Red Sux are now at .452 which is the 3rd worst record in MLB.

Just for the record ... sell - sell - sell
Mike NapBlackholy ... sell ... Victorino sell ... Porcello sell - Fat Panda sell - Pedroia ... sell - even Ortiz sell.
Keep Betts - Bogaerts - Swihart - Rodriguez ... and Ramirez as a DH sell anyone else.

Friggin team is a bunch of assclowns ... get rid of Farells ass also.

 

[captain insano]

I don't understand why you want to keep Ramirez. he's a complete dog. he would be the first person i would dump but nobody would take him unless the sox ate at least half his contract. he's a lazy stiff who can't play defense and a locker room cancer. bogaerts was so bad last year that people think he's having a all star year. he isn't. we were led to believe he was going to be this great offensive player. were are the hrs? he's got three. that's it. where are all the rbi? he's on pace to get 80 at best, maybe im wrong but i thought he was going to be a 325 20 home run 100 rbi kind of player. start by firing bill james and Cherington. i don't want either of them making roster decisions. there isn't anybody on the current roster that i wouldn't be open to trading.

I don't think Cherington made this entire mess ... some of it.
I am convinced John Henry keeps shopping for the groceries and Cherington is the yes man for it.

to bad you cant fire the owner. basically this team is screwed for the foreseeable future

 

[IcyPatriot]

Wouldn't it be so rich if we discovered that Pedroia is toxic in that locker room ...]
Players were rather jovial when he was injured ... just saying.

how were the players jovial? i have no idea what your talking about. Pedroia works his ass off. Hanley is the cancer. his play and effort are depressing.

The sad thing is Ben pulled off a miracle with the Dodgers to clear all those bad contracts just a few years ago. Win another World Series and then they go go right back to bad contract hell as if they didn't learn their lesson.

No way the Dodgers are gonna buy another parakeet without its head again.

We are stuck with these bums for awhile. Why would a contender want to add Porcello to their roster? To help them fall out of contention?

These signing s make the fried chicken era look favorable and that is not a good thing.

The reason Theo left and the reason Ben has sucked is one man...Larry Luchino. He is a cancer
