2014 season

Yea, I will take Papi hitting 2 a game, he would shatter Bonds' record too.

tied it up in the top of the ninth, miller blew it in the bottom of the 10th   

He lost both games in the series.   

the office manager here is going to tonights game with a friend celebrating his 40th birthday. he has monster seats  

Lester and scherzer pitching too.

I hope he doesn't get rained out, but the weather is iffy

If Lester pitches like his last 2 starts the your friend should have a great time.

yeah he had fun, he's a yankee fan, his friend is the sox fan.



lost 4 in row for the first time in over a year.     

Detroit just spanked them this weekend, hard to watch

So after 23 consecutive scoreless innings, the Phils score 20 runs in 2 games

there's just no consistancy. either the pitching is on and the offense is off or vice versa.

One bright spot is that they are finally letting Cody Ashe play everyday and he's rewarding them by batting over .300 and raking in RBI's this month. If they could just get Dominic Brown going, then they could actually do something. The Rollins, Utley, Howard, Ruiz combo is mostly doing fine this year. They need support.

I think we're back to 2 games under .500. Luckily the whole division sucks right now so its still anyone's game.

The Sox are 3 games under .500, but thankfully no one is pulling away in the East

they need to re-sign drew, or make a trade, or fuckin hit or something

they can't go on like this all year........or can they??

let's hope not (both teams)

the hitting is just freakin terrible, they cannot get a hit when guys are on base, they just roll over a short hopper to the 2nd baseman or shortstop for an easy double play or throw to first to end the threat.

they have hit into more double plays already this year than I remember from all of last year

I hear ya - and if they do hit, its all singles so it takes batting around to score more than one run

when the other team scores 1 run and you know the game is over......

yes, that's what happened friday night, lester had a rough start, gave up 1 run in the first.......that was the only scoring of the game, last night they scored 1 run in the second, then peavey gave up a few and it was over.

they have no punch, what is killing me is watching guys stand there with the effin bat on their shoulder for strike 3 with men on base. never ever should that happen, IDGAF what the score is or how close the pitch was, when a guy is on base ready to score, swing the friggin bat, I'd rather see a pop up to the pitcher or a foul ball caught by the catcher than watch a guy stand there and then walk away talking to himself

yup yup yup

sounds familiar. Jayson Werth was great at leaving the bat literally on his shoulder the entire at bat

what's with Drew do you think? You think he's still holding out for a 4 year deal?

I vote for all 3!

So Boston went out and found their help and Drew is where he could've been if he accepted their offer in the first place.

Yaah, finally!

 Lee had a MRI on his elbow

frreee falllin, freee fallin

Yea, but no one is pulling away so there is still plenty of time to right the ship.

I have a question. Can the Red sox give Drew another qualifying offer after the season and make someone give up a draft pick next year to sign him??/   

wouldn't that be a pisser, make him sit again next spring because noone wants to give anything up for him   

they've won 3 games in a row for just the 2nd time

I can't wait to see who replaces Lee - he should be out at least 2-3 weeks

I think there's a couple of guys in AAA that we ok in spring training. Our normal go-to is contemplating surgery.

anyway, at least the offense looks alive this week

no, he won't have a draft pick attached to him this time

but apparently there could be a lot more SS to choose from so he may not be in such a good position either way

Mike Tyson is now playing minor league ball:

that's messed up. how/why people think its ok to act like that I don't know

Yea, effing crazy!

slip sliding away, slip sliding awaaaayyyy

got spanked 14-5

they still have a chance to take the series at least

I was just saying to someone that I wish if they were going to suck, the least they could do is fall completely out of it - they're just stringing me along. Put me out of my misery

you're like a VP or somethin at ESPN now, make the arrangements

Lol, I wish!

ugly fucking mess

I don't understand what is wrong, this is essentially the same team that won the World Series a year ago! Losing Ells and Salty can't affect them this much, can it?

honestly i think salty hurt more than ells, but he hurt too, it changed the entire lineup, now you have pedey hitting leadoff, which he isn't suited for, but losing salty i think hurt them against righties, as he mashed righties last year.

you have 2 old catchers that aren't hitting, you have a young centerfielder not hitting, you have a shortstop and thirdbasemenn not hitting.

no power in the outfield whatsoever, nava not even on the team right now.


if you look closely, they have most of the same players, but none of them are doing what they did last year and the new additions aren't doing much of anything at all.


They need to make a deal for kemp or ethier with LA, one of those two could help put some pop in the lineup.

Drew will help defensively, but he's a 250 hitter at best and won't solve the run production at all

or just ride the storm out and hope for the best and rest on your laurels of winning it all last year and hope the stocked minors give some life to the team next year

Maybe get Beltre back from the Rangers, they need to do something!

I don't think the rangers are looking to drop anyone with fielder losing the rest of the season

Out pen is killing us. The offense is usually passable, except for the weeks the don't score anything at all

I think it is too early for trades, but if the Rangers aren't improved soon, the will start whole sale trading. They have 15 guys on the DL at the moment, they have been plagued with injuries.

Well they finally won.  

And I thank you for beating the braves
