Some of the Ground Rules are applied loosely in here, as we understand that there is a tendency to want to react (or overreact) to every play of a Sox game with one line reactionary posts. Those posts are okay in the Red Sox Series threads to a point - we certainly appreciate the passion. Just try not to overdo it, and try to maintain some semblance of reason. In addition, please don't let those type of posts spill over to other more substantive threads, where they may be deleted. -The Management Twitter: @Jonathan_Singer/@Soxprospects

Come on man!! To give you an idea what rarified air they're pitching in. Lester has a 3.17 era King Felix 3.36, David Price is 3.77.

Both times he faced the Red Sox, he looked like garbage, and the Sox teed off on him. Colon, though, has pitched well, with a good fastball. I'm more surprised that he's lasted this long, but I guess that's because his shoulder got shot up with the stem cells harvested from a consecrated placenta under the light of a new moon in the sacred dale, or whatever the hell it is. But those two have completely altered the Yankees season. I honestly thought that team was going to have to really battle for a wildcard, but as long as Colon stays healthy, they're a good team. A lot of luck involved, obviously, but you have to give Cashman credit for finding something worthwhile on the trash heap.

Its a pretty good bet their ERAs will not be so low after this weekend. Offense is down but not in Boston.

I would be shocked and disappointed if we didn't take 2 of 3 and would not be surprised if we swept the MFY's. My biggest issue is that I live in NY and will have to watch tonight's game on YES. I've tried doing the TV with the WEEI radio but there is a delay on the TV end and it never works out. Go Sox!

I'm in NEPA and we're considered NY market and NESN is blacked out. Sometimes the Gamemix channel has the NESN feed when we play the Yanks and I'll just watch on the small screen. And, I click over to YES for highlights. When MY9 does the game, NESN usually on gamemix. Since YES is doing tonight. Stuck with Kay. I'm going golfing at 3p. Start drinking on the back 9 and I'll be ready for him.

The MLB network has it this evening, Fox has it tomorrow, and ESPN on Sunday. No surprise. Everyone wants their share for the eyeball-meter that determines advertising revenue. We are the beneficiaries. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. ~ Frederick Douglass

And as for that series of posts that were asking for some kind of acknowledgement that some had been wrong about the Big Guy, I'm cool with what I said. If he's back '12 fine, if he isn't RS will survive his loss. The nyy games have ceased to be fun about 3 years ago. Now there a grind.

No. I don't care about records - the Red Sox are about 10X the better team. Why would we ever PH for Varitek? I mean, what if we PH for him, and it goes to extras, and vic martinez gets eaten by dinosaurs? We'd have to use the emergency catcher. -FenwayTheHardWay

Veteran Member Posts: 182 08/05/11 4:50 PM	Exactly! That is the reason why Cashman can afford not to pick Crawford or any big name players. So Mr. Cashman doesnt have to worry a thing about who is hitting or pitching. He found the magic formula.

And regarding Garcia, doesn't he lead the league in like highest contact rate or something?

The entirety of Red Sox fandom is concerned that the Red Sox will be on track to win 98 instead of 100 games after this series, yes. My only concern - and there are still more than 50 games to go so it's mild - is that I do believe there is a distinct advantage to being the home team in the playoffs this year, especially if the Sox have to face them without Buchholz. I have nothing to base this on other than the fact that a flyball that would normally be an out in most stadiums can win a tie game in the bottom of the 9th in Boston (Left), Yankee stadium (Right), and Texas (Left and Right) which benefits the home team. I wouldn't have this concern if the Sox top 3 starters were intact, but now I feel like those three teams are pretty close together. In a perfect world the Sox will have an effective Buchholz back for the playoffs, home field and Angels edge out Texas for the playoffs. Of course in a perfect world I've got $10 billion dollars, just bought the Sox from John Henry and have somehow managed to also be their All Star shortstop - and I cold-cocked ARod the last time the Sox played the Yanks and he got suspended while I got to guest host Conan O'Brien's show and mud-wrestle Meghan Fox on live TV.
