Yeah, I'm pretty upset that Gonzo is rocking that .965 OPS for the season (and has gone 2 for 3 tonight with a BB). I wish he had 25 HR with a .750 OPS so that he would be more fun to watch. Easy there. I don't think he's saying Gonzo is "bad" right now. He's just longing for something along the lines of, say, June 3-20, when Gonzo went .438/.507/.859. Of his 55 XBH in 111 games this year, 15 of them came in those 16 games. He's actually scuffling a bit right now in August.

Sorry for not stating that I am super thankful for all that is Gonzo (which I am in a big way). The guy is due to bust out with some XBHs, just like he did at the beginning of the year. I should have stated it in a different way. Don't get your panties in a bunch. Also, I wanted to point out that Salty's OPS is now a robust .800! Last Edited By: JT44 08/08/11 9:08 PM.

A couple of notes... - since the end of his hit-streak, Pedroia has only 1 XBH and 2 BB's in 50 PA's - Not counting tonights game (1-4, with a triple), since his return from the DL Carl Crawford is batting .316/.348/.434

He'll play all INF positions this week (1b tonight).

How about a different tact. Get him his 200 wins, another world series ring and he retires after the 2011 season. Oh, and release Charlie Haeger as I don't want another knuckleball pitcher in the system. Poorest spending of $3 million that I have ever seen.-fcastig 0220

Oh, and release Charlie Haeger as I don't want another knuckleball pitcher in the system. I agree. I would like to see a Tim Wakefield day during their final homestand this year and give him a bronze bust, a Fenway brick,a new Camaro, etc. I don't get the hate. Wakefield was with the Sox before Nomar, before Pedro, before Varitek. This is a guy from the Roger Clemens/ Mo Vaughn/ Mike Greenwell era. This is a guy with 185 wins in a Red Sox uniform and over two thousand strikeouts who pitches as well as Lackey for a tiny fraction of Lackey's salary. Send out with a parade.

I'm not sure what to think of Scutaro getting the day off during his hot streak. Sure he is 1-9 vs Liriano in his career, but Lowrie has never faced him so I'd ride Scutaro's small hot streak and start him Twitter (Tweet about Sox alot) YouTube Account
