Boston Red Sox

Lester's season WHIP is 0.75??

[rickyh24]

115 for Lester and still counting. Might be time to skip a start and hit the links.

go to somewhere like modells and look at the cheap rack. you'll find dicek, youk, and lackey all pretty cheap

[pathetic]

anyone listening to this mike adams story on weei?

he held a door open for a woman a few days ago, she looked up at him and said, "thanks dad"

he took offense to it and told her, "i dont remember banging your ma" and she went to the police

Don't forget Beckett. That's their new special.

4 in a row. Inevitable 5 game losing streak coming up.

bard and doubront are the aces of this staff. lester is coming around. big start tonight for beckett...he really needs a good outing against a bad offensive team to warm him up for sunday. he'll see back to back bad offensive teams in his next two starts

[dmbredsox36]

I think Beckett needs to pitch well just for his own well-being and perception right now. He's a selfish, arrogant bastard, but he needs to harness that attitude and get back to pitching like an Ace and shut the hell up.

[Rebecca De Mornay]

If Beckett gets hammered tonight do you start thinking about taking him out of the rotation?

he's always been that way. just productive in the past

and putting him where? that's 16mil you're taking out of the rotation. 30mil if you include lackey being out of the rotation. i'd think about taking clay out (depending on what he does his next start) before i'd think about taking beckett out

He has had 2 bad starts.

[Rebecca De Mornay]

He's just been awful and he's acting like he doesn't want to be there. At some point it doesn't matter how much money you're paying a guy you can't keep putting him out there.

For the record I think he'll start to get back on track tonight but I was just wondering how low people were on him.

He's 2-4 with an ERA close to 6

i'm low enough on him that i boo'ed him at the game last thursday, but that's just because of his attitude and lack of production. he deserved it. if he goes out and acts like he wants to be the same pitcher he was april-august last year a lot of people will turn around their opinion on him. he's still one of my favorite players, but his actions the past couple weeks have been less than impressive

and lester has an era of 4.62, but it's just over 1 his last 4 starts. what's that tell you?

[Rebecca De Mornay]

Right I understand that. My question was if he comes out tonight and looks like he'd rather be anywhere else and gets shelled again, how much longer do you tolerate it?

[dmbredsox36]

That's what I mean, I don't care if he's arrogant/cocky, but just shut up and pitch and be productive. It's different when you can back your attitude up with solid work, but it looks completely different when you're pitching poorly (and have been since late August) and acting like you don't care about anything or anyone.

When you only have 6 starts 2 bad starts really inflate your ERA.

another 2 years or until the sox decide to move him and eat 20+mil or so. we don't really have a choice. he heard the fans' displeasure of him last time out.

Not sure how this is hard to understand.

It's Beckett's bday today. Something tells me you won't see many Happy B-Day Josh signs in the crowd.
