2012 Boston Red Sox Offseason Thread

[OGC]

I was apparently offended by the previous thread, so let's start nice and fresh here.

:clap:

[A.J.]

Lackey still sucks.

[Dan 'Hampton]

Somehow this is all Papelbon's fault.

[Snoogans]

Somehow this is all Papelbon's fault.

he gave all the pitchers the aids

[A.J.]

I wonder if losing pitching coach John Farrell was a bigger loss than expected.

[Snoogans]

I wonder if losing pitching coach John Farrell was a bigger loss than expected.

i think the main problem is all the zeros we put on their paychecks

[Dan 'Hampton]

Yeah I tried to sign them to cheaper contracts but didn't work. Sorry guys. Guess you didn't realize I'm Theo Epstein

[Snoogans]

i say we meaning, although i dont, the red sox fans who buy all those dickhead red sox nation cards allowing these jerkoffs to buy all these bum players like crawford and Andy Carroll

[Dan 'Hampton]

I like this charactor you plau. It's a wfan caller talking about the sox.

[A.J.]

Has every run Texas scored in this entire series been off of a home run?

[Dan 'Hampton]

Seems it. Cleveland can't come quick enough.

[OGC]

Seems it. Cleveland can't come quick enough.

Oh yeah....

[Dan 'Hampton]

It took you 20+ min for that.

[Snoogans]

I like this charactor you plau. It's a wfan caller talking about the sox.

its mostly cause its so early in the season, but people still like freak out about it. So i do it kinda mockingly. I really do think Papelbon infected all the pitchers though cause he probably blew them in the clubhouse

[A.J.]

God dammit.

[Snoogans]

yea awesome. finally get some pitching and we get 3 hits. And bard manages to give up that run without giving up a hit.

[A.J.]

Fire Curt Young. NOW.

[Snoogans]

Fire Curt Young. NOW.

suicide squeeze bro. cleveland scored on a suicide squeeze

[A.J.]

Let's do it for Cal, Sr.!

rays have a better chance at that record then sawx

[Jujubees2]

Time for the Sox to bring up the youngsters from the minors do they can get some experience for next year.

[A.J.]

Time for the Sox to bring up the youngsters from the minors do they can get some experience for next year.

I'm all for sending Lackey down so they can bring up Bowden.

[sailor]

Aren't there like 156 games left?

[Jujubees2]

Aren't there like 156 games left?

Oh stop giving us false hope. The season is over. The sky is falling. WF is a genius.

[OGC]

I'm all for sending Lackey down so they can bring up Bowden.

I was so excited when they signed him, now I'm tired of looking at him and that odd fucking lip thing he has going. What is that ?

[underdog]

Oh stop giving us false hope. The season is over. The sky is falling. WF is a genius.

:lol:

[A.J.]

I was so excited when they signed him, now I'm tired of looking at him and that odd fucking lip thing he has going. What is that ?

The only thing about Lackey that excited me was his wife.

[underdog]

snoogans, wake up. Papelbon is about to blow the save.

[brettmojo]

I was so excited when they signed him, now I'm tired of looking at him and that odd fucking lip thing he has going. What is that ?
They call that the Busey.

[Dan 'Hampton]

Paps was a beast today. Bard as well. Feels good.

[Snoogans]

snoogans, wake up. Papelbon is about to blow the save.

i was at work. i had it on the radio. I was shocked

[Tenbatsuzen]

You know, I thought Varitek wearing the C was pretty stupid and pathetic, but the fact that a benched player is wearing his catching equipment, like he's ready to get into the game AT A MOMENT'S NOTICE... is pretty bad.

Tek had his fucking equipment on WHILE THE RED SOX WERE BATTING.

[A.J.]

How dare he be prepared!

While I'm glad the Sox finally won, I'm angry that Lackey was given the win. The offense bails him out yet again and that worthless fuck gets the win.

[Snoogans]

How dare he be prepared!

While I'm glad the Sox finally won, I'm angry that Lackey was given the win. The offense bails him out yet again and that worthless fuck gets the win.

and Hughes DIDNT get the loss. They gave it to Colon who was really good

[A.J.]

You're right - that too.

[Tenbatsuzen]

How dare he be prepared!



It takes, at most, 2-3 minutes to get your equipment on. And the only way Tek would be going in is if Salty was injured, and it was the top of the inning.

[Snoogans]

It takes, at most, 2-3 minutes to get your equipment on. And the only way Tek would be going in is if Salty was injured, and it was the top of the inning.

maybe tek was gettin ready to go warm up the pitcher while Salty got his gear back on after his AB. they do need someone to do that ya know

[Tenbatsuzen]

and Hughes DIDNT get the loss. They gave it to Colon who was really good

He was very good but while the offense bailed out Hughes, Colon did give up the run that gave the Red Sox the lead.

[Snoogans]

i know ass. im aware of why he got the loss. we were speakin of the unjustice. follow the convo or stick to the yankee thread

[Snacks]

i know ass. im aware of why he got the loss. we were speakin of the unjustice. follow the convo or stick to the yankee thread

dont argue with him after reading his posts about sports I can tell he has never played any organized sport in his life. At this point its not even worth you wasting your time!

[A.J.]

Who was that guy wearing Josh Beckett's uniform last night? He was spectacular.

[A.J.]

Fucking Dice-K....

[sailor]

If only you could exclusively play the Yankees.

[DOHO@HOME]

Fucking Dice-K....

How long are they going to continue to wheel this asshole out to the mound.
Why wasn't he pulled in the first he does not pitch out of bad starts and will never be that kind of pitcher:wallbash:
Bite the dick and get rid of him already:furious:

[Snoogans]

im sorry was this written about Dice K, Lackey, Bucholtz or what?

[A.J.]

im sorry was this written about Dice K, Lackey, Bucholtz or what?

Buchholz actually has promise.

[Snoogans]

Buchholz actually has promise.

last year he did. I dont know whats happened so far this year. He hasnt shown shit really. And now we just gave him an ext. So he has a good 4 years before he has to try

[DOHO@HOME]

im sorry was this written about Dice K, Lackey, Bucholtz or what?

You are so right on these fucking guys but out of all of them Bucholtz is the only one I really think has a future for the sox's.

[Snoogans]

You are so right on these fucking guys but out of all of them Bucholtz is the only one I really think has a future for the sox's.

yea, too bad they all have 5 more years on the contract

[A.J.]

This is going to be a long, long season.

[DOHO@HOME]

This is going to be a long, long season.

Yeh but we might be better off as the underdog this season.:annoyed:

The Wild Thing probably would have a better start these days than Lackey or Dice-K.

[underdog]

I dont wanna be like that guy, he lives in Canada

For now! I'm moving to Brooklyn in a month and a half.

[Snoogans]

For now! I'm moving to Brooklyn in a month and a half.

Where in Brooklyn? Bed Sty?

Ha!

Ha!

actually, id peg you as like a metropolitan ave kinda person. Somewhere down near the Williamsburg bridge maybe

true, too bad we didnt. lost game 1 7-6. 4 game series

Ah, fuck I did too good a job forgetting how Jenks blew that game.

[Snoogans]

Ah, fuck I did too good a job forgetting how Jenks blew that game.

yea the last 3 days have done a good job of making me not think about who i want released. The list was gettin long

[A.J.]

I think they pulled the trigger on Reyes a little too quickly. He was a lefty and the bullpen is short on those.

[DOHO@HOME]

holly shit dice k did it and lowrie is playing for the win.
dice k is so overated in the teams eyes but he did it today and for now that is all that matters.:drunk:

[A.J.]

2 road wins!

[A.J.]

Bobby Jenks is like having Eric Gagne back.

[Snoogans]

i find it funny that the sox are like a game out of second place already

[jonyrotn]

2 road wins!
Let me tell you a story about a man named Jed!

2 in a row is a streak in my book baby..
Keep pumpin out those W's boys, we'll be breathing down their necks in no time..

[cougarjake13]

i find it funny that the sox are like a game out of second place already

well it wasnt that hard it wasnt like the orioles were going wire to wire

[A.J.]

2 bad pitches cost them the game. Oh well....

[OGC]

2 bad pitches cost them the game. Oh well....

or one poor fielding play in the outfield.

[Furtherman]

Don't know if this has been mentioned before but it's a funny story I did not know about Boston.

The little-known (but incredibly true) story of Boston's most loyal baseball fans (who, by the way, hate the Red Sox). (http://mlb.sbnation.com/2011/4/23/2128257/bostons-lost-cause)

[Snoogans]

so when are we gonna move to the AL West. We do ok over there

[A.J.]

Why does Tito keep sticking with shitty Bobby Gagne Jenks? Use Dan Wheeler.

[A.J.]

http://sportscasm.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/picard-facepalm.jpg

[Dan 'Hampton]

Hey we got one! Undefeated in May!

[OGC]

Snoogans will be happy that Paplebon got the win.

[A.J.]

Pity that Wake couldn't go a little longer to get the win.

[A.J.]

This is great (listen in the background):

yea too bad they choked it away in the 10th

[A.J.]

But Lackey got plenty of rest to suck as usual.

[Snoogans]

But Lackey got plenty of rest to suck as usual.

come on, look at this brilliant line:
inn h r er bb k hr p s era
J Lackey 4.0 10 8 8 3 1 1 97-58 7.16

[A.J.]

Just when I think I can't hate Lackey any more....

Just when I think I can't hate Lackey any more....

X 2

[jonyrotn]

Nice W...
They played a lot looser today, they'd been playing stiff the last couple nights..
Shout outs to Bucholtz and the bullpen on a 3 hit shutout...

[A.J.]

That's what happens when you wear the whites. Get rid of those fucking red jerseys. They're the Red Sox, not the Red Shirts.

[A.J.]

Please, please, PLEASE send Lackey to the bullpen once and for all.

[DOHO@HOME]

Please, please, PLEASE send Lackey to the bullpen once and for all.

Lackey it's more like Shalackey, and that mutha fucker has the balls to be upset with the other players on the field, he is a real piece of shit and needs to face up to his performances.
Now they have to go face the beast of the east? oh they are in trouble now,can't even get even 500 by the second week in may.:wallbash:

[Jujubees2]

Please, please, PLEASE send Lackey to the bullpen once and for all.

Would you move Wakefield to the rotation or call some up from Pawtucket?

[A.J.]

Would you move Wakefield to the rotation or call some up from Pawtucket?

Yes.

[Snoogans]

i would offer to pick up 80% of lackeys money left and ship his ass ANYWHERE. I would bring wake to the rotation, bring a pitcher up from pawtucket to fill the spot. then id also bring that ace prospect we have at single a up to pawtucket and see how he handles it there

[A.J.]

Adrian Gonzales is in Beast Mode right now.

Its going to be fun watching him hit the next few years.

Redsox Win!!! The Reddddsox win!!!


*even with the right team it still sounds gay...

[A.J.]

Matt Albers. Who knew?

[cougarjake13]

Please, please, PLEASE send Lackey to the bullpen once and for all.

so glad the mets didnt get him

[jonyrotn]

Matt Albers. Who knew?
Yeah..he's been a pleasant surprise..He was always an innings eater but keeping those inherited runners from scoring is priceless..On the mound he reminds a little bit of Bob Stanley..

.500! Yay mediocrity!

[OGC]

Would you move Wakefield to the rotation or call some up from Pawtucket?


ICHIBAHN ----- John Lackey to the 15 day disabled list. Wakefield will probably take the start tomorrow.

The first step to getting rid of him

[joeyballsack]

The guys wife has cancer, baseball is probably the least of his worries.

[cougarjake13]

The guys wife has cancer, baseball is probably the least of his worries.

who lackey ??

damn that sux


well then i cant say anything bad then if its true i guess


es still getting paid big money though

[Dan 'Hampton]

Who is this team?

[A.J.]

The guys wife has cancer, baseball is probably the least of his worries.

I didn't know that. His wife is hot. I wish them both well.

But he still sucks and maybe a move to the DL will get him back on track. And it's good for Wake to get a couple more chances to bump up his career win total.

[jonyrotn]

The guys wife has cancer, baseball is probably the least of his worries.
They should throw a fund raiser for her then trade her husband to The Sloane Kettering Cancer Research Institute's slow pitch softball team..

[Snoogans]

i dont know about you pussies, but ill tear lackey apart anyway. If his wife having cancer is why he was so bad, than be a man and tell them you cant go. Its the same with injuries. its admirable and all, but if you are in a state where you will actually hurt the team, dont fuckin go on the field.

[Dan 'Hampton]

Yeah lets start that guy in the minors instead if him.

[Snoogans]

Yeah lets start that guy in the minors instead if him.

i dont know. that kid was still in like single a. thats a pretty big jump. id like to see him move up to AAA though

[Dan 'Hampton]

I say keep Ranaudo in A maybe he moves up to Portland, but let's not Strausburg him.

[A.J.]

Dice-K to the DL? Bring up Felix Doubront or Michael Bowden.

[Jujubees2]

Dice-K to the DL? Bring up Felix Doubront or Michael Bowden.

They brought up Bowden last night but he may be around long. Wheeler can come off the DL tomorrow.

Doubrant is on the DL at Pawtucket.

[jonyrotn]

I think dealing for Kevin Millwood makes the most sense right now cuz Lackey's in a bad space and basically useless and wakefield out of the bullpen and spot starting makes me more comfortable..

[A.J.]

Whew -- a win in that crappy weather.

[A.J.]

Way to pull a reverse Grady Little, Tito. Buchholz is doing fine in the 8th with a pitch count still in the 80s and you have to bring in Bard who promptly shits the bed.

What a waste of a fine outing.

[Snoogans]

thank god someone got these tools back on the roids. Especially Crawford

[A.J.]

Papi too. He was a regular speedster on the bases yesterday!

[A.J.]

Christ, 3 in a row. :wallbash:

[Dan 'Hampton]

It's amazing how it's all hockey up here right now.

[cougarjake13]

It's amazing how it's all hockey up here right now.

stanley cup finals vs reg season not even 60 games in


not hard to see




im pretty sure last few years it was all celtics at this point

[A.J.]

FINALLY the losing streak comes to an end.

[Snoogans]

FINALLY the losing streak comes to an end.

i saw an interesting thing in the box score. Mike Cameron and JD Drew split the game in RF. Somehow, combined, they only managed to see 11 pitches in 4 ABs. They are so completely opposite everything the lineup is supposed to be.



and i still cant hate JD Drew. No matter what, i will love him forever on what he did to philly

[A.J.]

and i still cant hate JD Drew. No matter what, i will love him forever on what he did to philly

I have to agree with you. Every once in a while he swings that beautiful swing or makes a great sliding catch and reminds us that there is some amazing talent there.

[Snoogans]

I have to agree with you. Every once in a while he swings that beautiful swing or makes a great sliding catch and reminds us that there is some amazing talent there.

Usually that would piss me off. To see a guy have the talent and then just not use it. Like Tim Thomas.

But again, Drew basically told the entire city of Philly to go fuck itself. Its hard not to love that

[Snoogans]

btw, can someone explain to me when they started callin Dustin Padroia the laser show? I never heard that once until that ESPN commercial

HA. Did anyone really even care though. They just called him Shaq and then used his self made nicknames as a goof. besides, i think you get a special exemption when you have come up with the 30th different one.


man im gonna miss that goofy bastard

[cougarjake13]

thats fuckin funny, but i hate when nicknames are self given, even if that wasnt what he was tryin for

he didnt really name himself


its not like he called himself the laser show directly

Papelbon sucks, he cost us the game!
Oh wait we won.

man im gonna miss that goofy bastard

me too Im going to miss Shaq Diesel, The Big Shaqtus, The Big Shamrock, Shaq Fu and of course Dr shaq!

He was a rare breed a 7 footer with athletic ability and for the most part good knees and health. He was a beast and his personality put him over the top. Has to be a top 10- 15 all time players, top 3-5 center all time and #1 in overall likability!

[Snoogans]

he still fuckin sucks. fuck him.

in my mind, he is the most dominant center of all time. the only argument id even entertain would be Hakeem. Kareem is so overrated its not even funny and shaq would have absolutely MURDERED everyone if he played against the opponents that Bill Russel and Wilt got to feast against. They were fuckin sticks, and shaq woulda ruined their whole world

esp since in that era there wasnt as much specialization and woulda got more touches and therefore more points

Papelbon got the 200th save of his career, a number he reached faster than any other reliever in history. Papelbon got there in 359 appearances. Yankees closer Mariano Rivera did it in 382.

I know Snoogans extends his warmest congratulations.

[Snoogans]

I know Snoogans extends his warmest congratulations.

didnt mariano have like 50 appearances as a set up guy before he started closing though? Thats why I love stats like that. Yea lets just pretend this guy belongs inthe same sentence as Rivera. fuckin Paps

[Jujubees2]

didnt mariano have like 50 appearances as a set up guy before he started closing though? Thats why I love stats like that. Yea lets just pretend this guy belongs inthe same sentence as Rivera. fuckin Paps

Yeah, Mariano started ten games his rookie year and didn't record his first save until his 34th career game in the majors. So he did it in 348 career appearances as a closer.

And upon further review, Paps didn't close games until his second year with the Sox and notched his first career save in his 19th career game (so he did it in 341 career game as a closer). In his rookie year (2005), they used Foulke (15), Timlin (13) and Schilling (9) as closers.

paps does have a good 3-5 years of his run in the no or much less roids MLB though too. Mariano did that shit through the fuckin wild west

True that

[cougarjake13]

and paps has much much much less sucess in post season

yea, cause he is a fag

[cougarjake13]

yea, cause he is a fag



well he does suck and blow

[OGC]

yea, cause he is a fag

you words can hurt.

[Snoogans]

you words can hurt.

if they are hurting Paps, good

[Snoogans]

wait. I REALLY just watched Crawford homer, scuturo double, and JD Drew homer in consecutive ABs?

[OGC]

if they are hurting Paps, good

it's nice that you have a cute little pet name for Mr Papelbon.

Pedroia Getting Knee Checked Out In Boston (http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/extras/extra_bases/2011/06/dustin_pedroia_12.html)

He might be out a month if it requires surgery, so maybe Crawford gets moved up to the #2 spot to replace him.

[A.J.]

Something has been bothering him. I thought it was the screw in his foot from last year's injury.

I suppose they'll move Jed to second and Scoots to SS

[Jujubees2]

Except Lowrie's banged up too. Hurt his shoulder in Detroit.

[joeyballsack]

Lowrie's MRI was negative, he might be back in the lineup tonight.

I would rather see Scutaro at 2nd and Lowrie at SS if he is healthy.

[Snoogans]

jesus the sox are fuckin RAKING

[A.J.]

When Paps gave up that dinger to Bautista, the first thing I thought of was Snoogans -- and it made me laugh in an otherwise tense situation.

Lester looked brilliant through 4. I hope it's nothing serious.

[Jujubees2]

I don;t understand how Paps got a save. I thought you had to enter the game with the potential tying run on deck to be eligible for a save. He came on when it was 3-0, didn't he?

[Jujubees2]

I don;t understand how Paps got a save. I thought you had to enter the game with the potential tying run on deck to be eligible for a save. He came on when it was 3-0, didn't he?

Just found out.

Here's one of the rules to get credit for a save:

He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning

Still a pretty weak save for Paps

[spoon]

I don;t understand how Paps got a save. I thought you had to enter the game with the potential tying run on deck to be eligible for a save. He came on when it was 3-0, didn't he?

I don't understand how bc the runner was safe and it should have been tied with runners on 2nd and 3rd bc of the throw home. Yet Encarnacion slide was stupid, which is completely up to par for him. He was safe after the original slide just before the tag. Great block, but honestly it shouldn't have worked. HATE E5 so much.

[OGC]

Lester looked brilliant through 4. I hope it's nothing serious.

Strained left Lat. 15 day DL for Lester, which with the all star break means one missed start.

[A.J.]

Nice win for Wake. 2 to go for 200.

[Snoogans]

Paps is still a fuckin bum

He almost shit the bed again last night.

how much longer before hes gone ?

[Snoogans]

how much longer before hes gone ?

3 months

[cougarjake13]

3 months

contract up or ur thinking trade ?

[spoon]

We'd take him at a discount.

The Jays are horrible in the 9th! Can anyone find stats on team blowing games in the 8/9th innings or extras? I'm willing to bet the Jays are top 3 at least.

[Snoogans]

contract and arbitration is up. if they trade him itll be in the next couple weeks

Well not a topic I WANTED to have some proof to, but they did it again and in fine fashion tonight.

4-0 into the bottom 9th, Jays lose 5-4 with a grand slam by Haffner to end it.

Francisco loaded them out without getting an out (single/double/walk) and then the proceeded to bring in Perez who got one out, gave up a single and then the bomb. They have to lead the league in this department, much less the amount of runs they allow teams to come back from. I mean 4-0 in the 9th! oof

[A.J.]

I know I'll jinx things by saying this but Lackey actually looked decent last night.

Make that 1.

AND:

Wakefield becomes the second Red Sox pitcher in franchise history to record 2,000 strikeouts, joining Roger Clemens (2,590).

Only three other American League teams have had two pitchers reach that plateau -- the Angels (Nolan Ryan and Chuck Finley), Indians (Bob Fellar and Sam McDowell) and Twins (Walter Johnson and Bert Blyleven).

[cougarjake13]

Could you imagine if they DIDN'T have Ichiro?

i hope before his career is over he gets a shot on a winning team

[A.J.]

25 games -- nice hit streak for the Laser Show.

[A.J.]

I swear to God, on Tim Wakefield's tombstone they should write "His teammates always let him down." The guy should be going for 300 let alone 200.

Snoogs, still think Bard is better than Paps? Nice fucking meltdown.

yea awesome. Can someone explain to me how bard's ERA is still under 3?

And yea, Paps is still worse. They all blow. Just let fuckin Aceves pitch every single inning.

[A.J.]

At this point, Aceves may be a starter.

Atchison is always good for eating up innings, but he's down in Pawtucket.

[cougarjake13]

yea awesome. Can someone explain to me how bard's ERA is still under 3?

inherited runners that score off him but go to previous pitchers era is my guess

Has John Lackey ever thrown a one two three inning? He sucks the life out of watching baseball for me. The length of his starts should be measured in days.

(Embarrassing typo).

This is one of those seasons that every fucking game they play is a pain in the ass to watch.
Just when you think they have the game in the bag it gets blown, and I listen to some sports radio out of Boston and wow it is a real job to stay a fan of the players and managment.

[Snoogans]

hopefully though, they start runnin these backups out there to rest the starters. Maybe we get lucky and get to play against the SWB yankees

they already announced cc is done for reg season .. not sure if he wulda pitched against the sawx


i know for sawx fans it would suck but i hope that on the final day of reg season its tied betw sawx and rays whoever wins that day is in or else its a playoff



now riddle me this what happens if its a three way tie betw sawx rays and angels ??

does it go one game playoff betw rays and sawex to determine who gets out of al east then winner gets one game playoff with angels ?

[RingWraith]

now riddle me this what happens if its a three way tie betw sawx rays and angels ??

I say if that happens, it should be a triple threat match inside a Hell in a Cell.

because run-ins from people not involved in the match never happens in wrestling

you couldnt even get jeter to fly to arizona for the all star game, he is gonna go out of his way to run into a match? Maybe if it was a 3 way match between whore actresses

obviously a run in

On second thought, maybe the Yanks should keep Burnett. However you gotta admire Lackeys fire, its like he never wants to be pulled

Jacoby Roidsbury strikes again

Honestly, he's my mvp at this point. He does it all, unlike Granderson, and is really the only guy of late keeping the Sox above water. I know he hits in an awesome lineup as well, but he's way better out there than Curtis and didn't even get the fucking nod for the all-star game. He was my fucking starter. I like Granderson too, but just imagine Elsbury in Granderson's spot and the numbers we'd see then! He could bunt 90% of the time and get an rbi...hell, it might even leave the park if he keeps it down the first base line!

Just because a person has a life threatening illness doesn't automatically make them a saint. There obviously had to be personality issues before this happened.

Cancer sucks, it's a horrible disease, and it's touched my family. But I have also seen cancer patients who become self-centered, angry people who want to stir up drama as much as they possibly can.

If Lackey had kids with her, I'd kill him for this. But they don't. So he's freeing himself from the burden of a person he doesn't love anymore. I don't see the problem.

Sucks that she has cancer, and I hope she recovers, but he's not a horrible person.

Do you think she told him she had cancer and he immediately filed for divorce?

There was obviously issues in the relationship before her cancer diagnosis. So again: If he doesn't love her anymore and the marriage is broken, what obligation does he have to stay with her?

Yes.

saw something that he was pissed at a text message someone sent him but culdnt find any info
