Junichi Tazawa's season is over

Per Amy Nelson from ESPN, Junichi Tazawa has hit the 60-day disabled list, meaning his season is over:
Tazawa on the 60-day dl season over nick green still in Boston for tests, may be a disc problem in his back, and inf Chris woodard recalled
No word on what the deal with Tazawa actually is. He wasn't going to see time in the postseason, though. So it's just a few games that he'll miss on the bench in September.
As far as Nick Green goes, the shortstop depth now looks like this: Alex Gonzalez > Jed Lowrie > Chris Woodward. It'll be interesting to see if Green is OK in a couple of days. If he is, and the Sox make the postseason (don't count your chickens...), I wonder what that shortstop position will look like...

If Woodward makes the post season roster I will vomit all over myself.
This should be the post season roster:
Youk
Pedroia
Gonzo
Lowell
Martinez
Bay
Ellsbury
Drew
Ortiz
Tek (only used in the event of injury to Martinez)
Gathright (we need speed, and have very little off the bench without him)
Lowrie (only used in the event of injury to Gonzo)
Kotchman
Baldelli
Beckett
Lester
DiceK
Buchholz
Wakefield/MDC
Byrd (only used in the event of a blow out)
Ramirez
Okajima
Saito
Wagner
Bard
Papelbon
VARITEK MUST GO

Varitek
Varitek is going to start when Beckett pitches. Get over it.

That's not giving us the best chance to win

Well either I overestimate the importance of a catcher-pitcher relationship while pitching, or you underestimate it. Agree to disagree. We will have to wait and see.

Any lineup with Gonzo/Tek
is not good enough for the post season when we can do better. Lowell @ 3rd Youk at 1st and Martinez @ C is what should be on the field.
If Beckett’s production suffers from Martinez being behind the plate and not Varitek he should not be in MLB.

Gonzo
What’s your beef with him? I would say his play has been outstanding with the Sox and part of the reason we have been so successful recently. His OPS has increased 200 points since he joined the Sox, much better than the .554 he was sporting with the Reds. Besides his unwillingness to take a walk I would say he is our best SS option and not a bad one at that.

So you'd rather say that the time he's been with the Sox is closer to being his talent level...
Than the rest of his career?

I don't recall anyone saying that.
He said there’s no reason to have a beef with him. We picked him up, and apparently at the right time. He’s done well for us. Why have a beef with someone exceeding expectations?

That's not why we don't like him.
We don’t like him b/c he sucks. The fact that he’s been playing better of late makes it worse b/c now Tito’s going to let him murder someone before pulling him for Jed.

But he's playing well.
So right now…he DOESN’T suck. If he can keep not-sucking for the next month, Bloggy’s more than happy with that.
Someone playing better making it worse makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE. He’s playing well. That’s good.
It really is just that simple. Gonzo is not Ortiz. He doesn’t get the same “patience” that Big Papi gets. Tito pulled Coco for Elsbury in ‘07 and pulled Els for Coco in ’08. If Gonz starts stinking up the joint? He’s getting the ol’ Vaudville hook.

I'm just saying...
Has he given anyone any reason to complain about his performance so far? (Minus of course the whole walking thing).

Long relief clean up guy or if the bullpen runs out of bullets then what?

an absolute waste of money. Yet we don’t hear anybody saying anything about it. Where’s ESPN when you really need them?

... Mhm.
1) ESPN = stupid
2) HE’S A ROOKIE. He has plenty of time to prove himself.
3) He didn’t even cost that much. I really hope you aren’t confusing him with Dice-K.

Anyone with a username that's "soxsuckbigone"?
Doesn’t have an actual opinion. He’s not confused. He’s a dumbass.
Cut and dry…that is it.

The harsh world has yet to make you cold to the jagoffs, young one.
Good on you.
