If This Was 2008, We'd Be Really Excited About A Great Justin Masterson Pitching Performance

Is there any way the Sox could kidnap Masterson on their way out of Cleveland and bring him back to pitch in the bullpen again? They could leave Nelson or RamRam behind as an apology—or would that be considered more of a “screw you?”

I like to see past Red Sox do well, cept Johnny Damon and The Rocket, seriously screw those guys.

I maybe wish he was DFA’d, but that’s neither here nor there.

Why can’t we find a 3B coach that doesn’t get all of our guys thrown out at the plate. I still have bad memories from Sveum, though I have a fond memory of Manny disregarding him completely and running through a hold sign.

Where was your positive post when the offense was killing everything a week ago or the last month? You know when we were scoring like 6+ every game, or swept the Rays? We aren’t going to win every game, that’s a fact, but with Lester taking the mound tonight we stand a rather good chance at taking 3 out of 4, which is pretty damn good, four game series, no matter against who, are usually really hard to sweep. We’ve split or won our last 8 series against some tough teams and everyone was in sink. Papi and Pedey aren’t doing particularly great right now but both should be expected to bounce back since they’ve already shown they are capable of hitting this year. And then throw in that our outfield is Hermida, Hall, Darnell, Reddick and Drew. Two of those three who play each day aren’t really helping the offense any. It’s just variations in baseball, people slump. Did you even think for a second in all your wallowing in April that we would be 9 games over .500, 5 back from the Rays and just 2 behind the Yankees at this point? No probably not. Don’t worry about a team until the All-Star break, haven’t through your years of paranoia watched the Yankees fall behind early and then kick our ass at the end? Can’t ever count yourself out this early with nitpicking. We’re playing pretty good baseball most nights and players step up when others are slumping, look at Wake the other night, we needed a shot in the arm and he went out and pitched a great game.

he has this vulcan grip changeup thing that’s supposed to make opposing batters look silly instead of making our bullpen look silly.
