He is, but it doesn't help that Douby is missing his spots and Salty's unable to properly frame some pitches. I hope we get a real catcher with some decent hitting skills very soon.

I wouldn't say he's ruined for good, his "comeback" just takes longer than anticipated. I can see him having success in a couple of years when he's fallen completely under the radar on a team like...
Too bad Napoli only got a guaranteed 1 year deal, yet I agree with the Sox playing it safe. We got an ace up our sleeves, though. If we make Napoli a QO, it's gonna be tough for him to decline. We...
I may get destroyed in here for saying that, but if Ranaudo's having a terrific half/full season, I'd seriously consider trading him. I know his stuff is legit and we need to stockpile SP's as many...
Way too early. He needs to sty healthy long term. But so far this season? He's been the real deal, probably everything we could have hoped for, in terms of power and personality.
There's no reason...
And that means we are stuck with Crawford and Beckett and no Webster and RDLR.
Everything turned out ok, I am glad the Sox are going with their youth and prospects, no Stanton for me. There might...
WMB doesn't need time in AAA. Pitchers just found the typical hole and are exploiting it. He will never see any inside pitches again if he can't adjust.
He looks absolutely lost out there. I just...
Same **** as last year, they can't buy a win at Fenway. But hey, the offensive woes were expected, the pitching keeps us alive. We have to win lots of 3-2/4-3 games.
May we just get rid of Salty, I mean seriously, what's the point of batting him fifth in the order?
Napoli sure loves his Fenway Park
Typical situation, throw beats the runner = out
Webster's sneaking thru the Innings, some swing-and-miss stuff and some weak contact involved.
Another great Inning by Webstah. His stuff definitely looks legit, multiple + pitches.
Why would Drew take the 2nd pitch? Guy sucks so bad...and so does Middlebrooks. He needs to make adjustments or else he'll never get pitched inside again.
Salty is such a joke, what a da.mn half hearted swing on a 2-0 count. We deserve to lose
We count on you Napoli, do your thang...
C'mon offense, do your job. 2-3-4 runs won't get it done all season long.
Another decent start by Dempster, 7 IP ; 4 ER ain't that bad.
Wow, the kid's more screaming than actually singing.
So the 26th man DH-stuff means that we don't waste an option on Webster since he technically doesn't need to be called-up/down, right?
Does it start his service-time clock?
I am curious to see...
The "criticism" was based on my own post, i.e. Bailey not being great today. My expectations were not very high, so I am happy with the way they're playing.
Too bad it's usually tough to sweep a DH,...
We keep winning with the same kind of style. Great SP, patience at the plate, timely hits, (great MRP) and shaky closing.
Bailey is alright, but he needs to be better. Could have been much worse......
Ortiz drops the F-bomb, lol. How about that? I wouldn't have done that during such a phenomenal ceremonie, but Papi is Papi. I am glad he's back...
Didn't know Giambi was still playing afterall. He must be 50...he started sucking like 7 years ago
Not sure what JF is doing, the bullpen is well rested besides Mortensen and Wilson.
I am not ready to kiss 4 top 10 prospects goodbye (Bogaerts, Webster, and likely JBj + Owens/Swihart/Cecchini). Not saying Stanton ain't worth it, but it's just the wrong time for us. Might be...
Yep, impressive and important. You could make a legit case about us being 7-3/8-2 instead of 6-4. I am glad the rotation is working properly, I think JF has done a tremendous job so far. I know our...
We need Papi back ASAP, at least one terrifying hitter in the line-up.
there goes the beer :D
