Making fun of Pedroia's height is not rejoicing.

He pulled up lame running to second base. Maybe it's karma for all of the jokes Sox fans made about Wang breaking his foot two years ago in Houston.
They don't joke about such things.
I got to say, I do wish Buchholz a speedy recovery if he misses any time at all. He was having a great season and finally breaking out. If he's out though maybe a mega deal with the DBacks to solve all of their problems. Johnson, Snyder/Montero, Jackson and Qualls?
Yea a lot do and I think it sucks when they do it too. Wang's career was ended by this joke of letting AL pitcher's hit.At least this looks loke a hammy

I agree. I mean, it's something serious, not something minor like a plane crash.
People are making fun of Pedrioa, not his injury.
On this, I agree. Making pitchers hit is a bad idea. Making AL pitchers hit when they're even less accustomed to it is downright stupid.
Oh you, mean Thurman Munson Day?
Yea thats more than just community standards. Im sure theres a special place in hell for those "fans"
Buchholz apparently has a hyperextended left knee. Also, the Red Sox made a trade for Eric Patterson from the A's.
Who'd they trade?
This is awesome because it's true.

It is what it is but it ain't what you think
I say we stomp him! Then we tattoo him! Then we hang him! And then we kill him!
I say we let him go.
i lol'dThis is awesome because it's true.
if buchholz wasn't injured, was he on an innings limit this year anyway?

Fabian Williamson, a pitcher they got from the M's for David Aardsma.
Not anymore, he got pretty close to 200 IP last year.
Oh man, the Red Sox are getting hit hard by the injury bug. I guess they need "I never used steroids" to step up and carry this team until Josh Beckett comes back to repeat his April/May success.
I don't like CB at all, but I was sorry to hear he was hurt - glad that the news is good (relatively speaking). It sounds like he can make his next start.

Well then, someone needs to go over to SoSH to tell them to stop talking bad about the Yanks. We can't afford anymore injuries this year.
I think he was referring to SOSH posters joking about Lidle's death
Same premise.
How about those who fans who heckled Abreu by telling him if he had exercised his NTC, Lidle would still be aound.
How about them?
I once visited a Pittsburgh Steeler forum where they said some mean things.

The Sox have a terrific offense and they deserve a ton of credit; it's very frustrating, lol.

what a very nice symetrically laid out field AT&T park is.
Mota struggles with Lester but gets Scutaro out!! lol!!!
It infuriates me how they always smack the sh*t out of good pitchers. Halladay used to beat us every single time and they owned him. Jimenez had been untouchable, and they torched him.
"We understand that John Henry must be embarrassed, frustrated and disappointed by his failure in this transaction. Unlike the Yankees, he chose not to go the extra distance for his fans in Boston."
yet they still can't beat the angels. lulz

But then again, the Yankees were Pedro's daddy.
Victor Martinez fractured his left thumb.
And that's another thing with all their injuries the Red Sox are still beating everyone.
Still and will always be a New England Patriots fan.
Jesus. When it rains, it pours.
I guess it happened on the same foul ball that got his toe. You could see the ball ricochet off his glove.
That's nothing, Lester averaged twice as many P/PA as a hitter than as a pitcher.
Yeah, he saw 24 pitches in four plate appearances, and didn't have a single inning where he threw more than 17 pitches. He also took one off Lincecum over 400 feet, could have had a grand slam if hit to a different part of the park. All that being said, I'm pretty darn happy the Red Sox pitchers are done running the bases. At least, until October.
I wish that were true. Even now, after a few years of no longer being "Pedro," he has a lifetime 3.20 ERA against the Yankees in 32 starts and 216.2 IP. He's got an 11-11 record despite absurd 10.8 K/9 and 4.14 K/BB rates.
Against what is clearly the best offense in baseball since 1999, that's pretty ridiculously impressive.
pedro is the best pitcher ever. so yea
oy vey
Definitely not. In 2000, he had the best season any pitcher has ever had. That said, now that we have some perspective he wasn't dominant for very long.
Pedro had a 10-year peak from 1996-2005 where he had a 177 ERA+. If look at all pitchers ever, in their best ten-year stretch (where they averaged at least 200ip/year), the only pitcher more dominant than Pedro was Walter Johnson. Calling Pedro the best pitcher ever is not that unreasonable.
Roger Clemens had a 143 ERA+ over 24 seasons. That's why he's truly in the discussion for best pitcher ever.
2009 - World Champion New York Yankees!!
pedro was truly legendary. that kind of peak performance puts him on another level.
oy vey
Pitching longer is not the same as pitching better. Pedro had an 18-year career with a 154 ERA+. That's about as good as it gets.
True, but it's not like Martinez was a flash in the pan. He has a 154 ERA+ over 17 seasons, and at his peak was more dominant than Clemens. Although Clemens pitched more of his career in the AL East than Pedro did. I think if you could groom a Clemens-clone or a Pedro-clone, most folks would choose the latter.
although i advocate roids and stuff, clemens did take some huge quantity of the stuff that allowed him to have a gentle decline, to say the least.
pedro with roids would enjoy a better twilight of a legendary career, and he would get more respect from people who think cy young can even pitch in triple a

That's what happens when you're in the NL.....you don't have to face the aweinspiring power that is Nava/McDonald/Hall.
Must be fun for Sox fans.
Fistpumping like a champion.
This is silly, but Red Sox pitchers in NL games hit .313/.368/.375 with a 2B, 2 BBs, 2 RBI, and 5 sac bunts.
Without Vmart and Dusty, they're gonna be in some trouble.
A fool and his money can throw one heck of a party!
Not sure if it's just spin or not, but Victor is saying he may not even need a trip to the DL. Sounds like he fractured the bone on the top of the thumb. Can't imagine it would feel good hitting.
Dusty, however, is another issue. He could very well be out until September, and who knows how he'll be when he returns.
Just have to hope that the Rays continue to be average, and we can hang with them for awhile.
