Blaming injuries is lame, you could put a lot of blame on the TERRIBLE start to the season.
FO with your stupid threads would you.
Personally there's nothing stopping me from reading them apart from my own choice. I'm more aggrieved at the consistent level of negativity that defines his posting.He wouldn't be Pete if he did that.
There's plenty of time left. These teams all play each other enough down the stretch, that a bad run by one could open up the door elsewhere. It won't be easy, but it's doable for sure.
Youk is now out with a torn something or other in his thumb...it will need surgery and i think he is done for the season. with this news today, i will say we are done. I cant see us making up ground without Youk.
I'm adamant that Kevin Cash is a cancer in this team. We always play **** baseball whenever this useless pleb is behind the plate.
The Red Sox really need to take 3 of the 4 games available to them against the Yankees. Tonight was a good start and Lackey needs to be lights out to give the Sox crucial belief with our two aces still to come.Good win tonight. We're now 5 back from the Yankees and 4 back from the Rays. Bucholtz was pretty good but I have to remember to turn the game off when Papelbon comes in and tries for his last out. The first two outs come easy and the last out is always a heart attack waiting to happen.

It really is the case. Given the injury predicament this team has surprised even the most ardent of Sox fans. Put this list on the Rays or Yankees and they wouldn't be competing.Nothing's clear with 50+ games to go... but as far as injuries, Francona deserves manager of the year if he makes the playoffs in this division given the extraordinary number of injuries this year.
I'd beg to differ about injuries as an excuse... it's not lame - it;s the fact. If this team had been as healthy as its competitors in the division this year I have no doubt they'd be in 1st place.
