Thats all folks...

well this season is over. A few thoughts about the off season. We need a closer so we can put Papelbon in the rotation and we need to get a legit hitter to bat behind Manny. Manny has walked in half his at bats this series because there is no one behind him that other teams need to worry about.

As for tonights suck fest, were do I begin? In the 9th inning tonight David Ortiz hustled to get to second base after and error by Jason Giambi. This would seem like a good thing, but it made it so the Yankees intentionally walked the red hot Manny. If Papi did not go to second the Yankees would have pitched to Manny because they would not want to put the tying run in scoring position. When Papi went to second it took both the bat at out Manny’s hands and any chance of the sox scoring against Rivera with it.

Also why the fuck is Youk bunting? If you really want to play small ball and bunt at least put a pinch runner for Papi. But in the end Youk should not be bunting at all. How is it that Hinske can not even make contact on 3 straight fastballs? Fuck fuck fuck fuck. The had my hopes up for a while earlier tonight but this season is fucking over.

Kapler fuck up major in the 9th. He dived for no reason playing a single into the double. Then we he should have dived on Jeter's hit he pulled back. What the Fuck?

Despite my current tirade I am not as angered as I used to be. 2004 softened my anger when we fuck up; in addition, the sox brass would never really publicly admit it but this is a rebuilding year. But does it have to be the fucking Yankees we tank it too? What the fuck is Toronto’s problem. If Toronto had a great year and was winning the division it would not be really annoy me at all, but the fact we are letting the Yankees cake walk into the post season still pisses me off. What Happened to that Latroy Hawkins deal that was supposed to go down earlier in the week? He could have meant a victory in a game like tonight. Maybe we would not need Hawkins if Hansen would spend more time on pitching and less time drunk off hiss ass hitting on girls.

Pointless

To write about this team at this point will only serve to infuriate me...

Hey Papi!!!!!!....Get The GMs Drunk

If any dumbass writer does not put David Ortiz number 1 on their MVP ballot this year because he is a DH I will personally lead the Calvary charge on their homes. All I can say is WOW.

Here is my theory why there was another trading deadline with no major deals in the entire MLB. The trading deadline is at 4pm. In the past it was at midnight. By midnight most of the GM were at the very least tired and most likely had thrown back a few and were half drunk. Everyone knows that there are a lot of ideas that people have that seem brilliant at midnight, but seem foolish in the light of day. Thus, you see few blockbuster deals at 4pm compared to the past when the deadline was at midnight.

Trade Deadline

There were a lot of rumors recently of trades involving Nixon and Crisp, but with the injury to Trot last night I don’t see either of them being moved. Furthermore, I don’t see the sox trading any of their young arms. Thus, despite the Yankees move, the sox making most likely will not make any big deals today.

The most persistent rumor I have seen is a trade that would send Lowell to Tampa for Julio Lugo and the Padres being involved and the sox getting set up man Scott Linebrink who I know pretty much nothing about. I don’t really understand the point of that trade.

Should be interesting to see where Soriano lands and if Tejada gets dealt.

Ben Affleck should have his sox nation membership revoked after failing to fight for that foul ball last night. He could have saved the sox an out.

Bad Loss

Last Night was the type of game we had been winning all year. Lester pitched better then his stats from last night indicate. Alot of those hits in the sixth were ticky tack hits.

I am a huge Trot fan and dont want him to be traded but he needs to step his game up. In the last month he has hit for almost no power and his average is slowly dipping as well.

Manny Vs. A-Rod

It is only the fourth inning, but Manny already has had a classic Manny night. He drove a ball to deep center in the first inning for an RBI single, but should have easily made it to second if he hustled. Two innings later he came back up and hit one out of the park. Then there is the man we almost traded Manny for, A-Rod. A-Rod reminds me of the talented little leaguer whose dad is always watching him in the stands and tries too hard to impress his dad and ends up failing. I don’t care if Manny takes out a Game Boy and starts playing Tetris in Left Field, I still rather have him on the Sox over the head case that is A-Fraud.

Harold Reynolds

Harold Reynolds was unexpectantly fired from ESPN today. Reports say that he was frequently hitting on the female ESPN production staff. I say, who cares, hes Harold Reynolds. Who doesn't like Harold Reynolds. He is a classy man, and anywoman who refuses his advances, should be fired from ESPN. I hope NESN quickly picks him up, cause I will suffer from Reynolds withdrawl.

Red Sox and Trades
I feel like there are no trades that would significantly help the Sox. They need starting pitching, and Wells is reportingly coming back. One pitcher i wouldn't mind seeing in a Red Sox uniform would be Livan Hernandez of the Washington Nationals. He pitches alot of innings, and Nationals GM Jim Bowden says he needs a pressure situation to be succesfull.

Good Win and Trade Rumors

Good win last night, but I wish Snyder did not pull a Clement and have a random injury in the 6th inning. Are starters are not going deep enough into games and I am worried that we will tire are bull pen arms too early. On the plus side the Win put us ahead of Chicago and 3 and half over the Yankees in the standings.

I have been hearing rumors of a trade involving Mike Lowell and a midlevel prospect such as David Pauley for Jake Peavy. Peavy is having a bad year this year, and Lowell is fitting into the team well, but I would do that deal in a heart beat. Peavy is a young fire-baller akin to Beckett. He could help the team this year and down the round. We could always move Youk to third and have a combo of Cora and Wily Mo at first or even make an additional deal for a serviceable first baseman. I am sure Doug Mientkiewicz would be available just hide all the baseball or any other memorabilia if he arrives because he will most likely claim he is the rightful owner and try to put it on EBay.

Look Out for the Twinkies. Minnesota has one 8 in a row and I am sure by mid-August you will already be sick of hearing baseball commentators saying that with Santana and Liriano the Twins would be… lets say it all together now “ the team no one wants to face in the playoffs.”

A look at my predictions

AL MVP- Ortiz, looks like im correct there
AL CY YOUNG-Johon Santanna He is still one of the best pitchers in baseball
AL MANEGER- Eric Wedge- Indians have greatly underachieved
AL ROY- Liriano- great pick so far

NL MVP- Soriano- Hes been alright, no MVP
NL CY YOung- Ben Sheets, havent heard his name once
NL MANEGER- Frank Robinson- I love the NATS
NL ROY- Ryan Zimmerman- Prince Fielder looked like the early pick but Zimmerman looks like the pick as of late

I Said this on March 27th

"ALL STAR GAME WINNERS
MVP: Michael Young- game winning hit, no one will be watching"

THAT IS THE MOST AMAZING PREDICTION I HAVE EVER HAD
