GO GET EM BIG GUY

NESN.COM -"I don't see a ton of pitching help out there unless it's the few guys who can really make an impact, who will take your farm system to get," Epstein said. "I think we could benefit from a complementary position player in the right spot."


I am with you all the way Theo. You are pretty much dog shit when it comes to signing free agents. I am mean you brought in Julio Lugo, JD Drew, and Mike Cameron to name a few. You also gave a ridiculous $142 million dollar contract to Carl Crawford. However, I like Crawford and don't think he will play as bad as he has for the remainder of the deal. OHHHHHHH yeah, and I think you brought in an overrated shrek clone in John Lackey, but we only have him for three and half more years so no worries there. Christ you are just really a pile of shit when it comes to the free agent market. But what you can do is make trades, you're not killer at it but you can bring solid pieces from time to time, for instance a certain MVP candidate named Adrian Gonzalez. And I completely agree, Sox could use some positional help AND keeping the farm system intact is a must. Another outfielder because Darnell McDonald has to go and Drew is useless at this point. Another catcher for the stretch run would be great because although Salty as turned it on some, I still don't trust him and Varitek is 90 years old. Perhaps another up the middle player like Omare Infante from Florida would help. He's playing like ass this year but he can play three positions in the infield. But hey, as long as it isn't the offseason I trust your instincts.

Lack-Diesel Takes Mound, Sucks

As God pissed on the Fenway Faithful, Sox pitcher John Lackey took the mound raring to go and promptly served up a long ball to give the Padres an early 1-0 lead. A few rain delays later and Lackey would hand the Padres four more runs and the win. As usual Lackey was quick to take responsibility, oh wait no he didn't. In what has become a constant refrain Lackey took none of the blame, explaining in a postgame presser that he thought he pitched well, just a couple of lucky hits that dropped. Lackey has become the new Dice-K, sparkling in one outing and terrible in another. Also like Dice-K he is stubborn and refuses to acknowledge when he's awful, the closest Lackey has come was in an unusual outburst in the Sox lockerroom where the hurler whined "Everything in my life sucks right now" and promptly stormed off. Yeah, Lackey's not great, but it's not his fault some dick saw this turd and offered it $82.5 million guaranteed.

Wily Mo Goes Deep for the first time in over a 1,000 days

Wily Mo Pena, one of Sox Gm theo Epstein's biggest whiffs, went deep for the first time in over three years today. It's worth noting that when Epstein traded away Bronson Arroyo to acquire Pena in '06 he envisioned the man dropping bombs all over the major leagues.
