Boston Red Sox at Kansas City Royals, Sep 21, 2009

Boston Red Sox at Kansas City Royals, Sep 21, 2009 8:10 PM EDT



Sox begin a crucial, critical series against the Kansas City Royals. That is, if they're shooting for the division. If they're shooting for the Wild Card, then this series almost doesn't matter. In any event, there should be a lot of shooting going on. Of fish. In a barrell. Go Sox.

What's the hold up?

It’s almost 7:30 and Gameday says we are still in lineups. Is this wrong?

Doubly late

Considering KC apparently looks like the MIssissippi today. Lets hope we can squeeze this one in, we don’t need a double header on top of the no off days.

Yuniesky Betancourt has an awesome name

that that was what stuck out to me the most about KC’s lineup does not bode well for the Royals

I had to watch the game at a bowling alley

Because she refused to watch the game at the bar I watched every game that postseason (we worked together, and I was watching it with co-workers…..she wanted to keep us a secret that early). As the game went extras she wanted to leave, but I refused. Big fight on our first date, but hey, we pulled through.

Fire the pitchers like Beckett, then

That feel more comfortable throwing to him. Don’t get me wrong, Tek sucks. But if Beckett and Matsuzaka are more comfortable with him behind the plate, he should catch them—and then be pinch-hit for after they’re out of the game.

That's just dumb

Beckett isn’t going anywhere. Tek either won’t be on the team or, if he is, he’ll be the back-up next year. He’ll have all spring to work with Beckett and Dice-K.

As for putting the best team on the field, pitching wins games. If Beckett and Dice are more comfortable with Tek, they’ll likely pitch better—thereby, making the Sox a better team in that game.

Look at it this way

The only team that can break the bank are the MFY. They want to pare payroll. They have $166 million on the books for next year. They might extend Damon at a pay cut for a year until Austin Jackson is ready.

If the MFY aren’t in on Holliday, the price for everyone goes down. But, even if they sign Holliday for $15-$20 million, the Sox don’t have to match that with Bay. Who else will pay even $12-$15 million in this economy?

I'm sure they loved what they saw at the end of 08.

I’m just wondering if they have the money. They needed a cleanup hitter (still do). Don’t tell me their plan was to wait for Holliday to be a FA. My point isn’t that Manny should get the same contract as Holliday, but how SF spends their money.
