The pitching matchups are heavily in Boston's favor except for Saturday.
"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."
Even 1 out of 4 will spark a new NESN propaganda commercial.
Yanks take 3 of 4. Sox are done. Tito has managed this team marvelously given their ridiculous run of injuries, and I give them credit for hanging in there, but I think they are done.
Wait, that's a broom...implying a sweep...with a message saying their season is now over...and we haven't played the first game yet.

Not really. They're hosed pretty bad.

They still have their pitching lined up pretty well for the series, and anything can, and usually does, happen in these games. I mean, we just lost 2 of 3 from Toronto....

Their playoff odds are at 12.9%, I'm not sure if it's taking into account that they won't have their best player for a while, if at all this season.
We usually hit Beckett and Laptop well.

The revisionist history is still strong in RSN:
http://www.boston.com/sports/basebal...redsox_fights/And then there was the time last August, when Kevin Youkilis took matters in his own hands after being hit for the second straight game and 10th time this season, charging the mound and heaving his helmet at the Tigers' Rick Porcello, a 20-year-old rookie who wanted no part of the fight.
Porcello bodyslamming Youkilis? Nah, never happened.

I guess when ya don't have enough rings to brag about, you stoop to pandering to pathetic testosterone deficient losers whose "manhood" depends on second hand "grit" infusions

Seanessy's (yes it's spelled wrong) article on ARod last month was awesome.

someone should start a thread where everyone can whine about various Boston media articles.
Someone once said a man can measure his value by the worth of his enemies. Considering the people who hate me in this thread, I really am a DB.
Tom Caron (NESN reporter, I believe) on Twitter:
Youkilis will get surgery tomorrow, Francona just confirmed.Hate to say this, just for the karma, buuut, for the Sox - what postseason?Francona says there is no chance Youkilis can return this season - regular season or post-season.
Likes the Yankees.
If Francona said for the rest of the season, the obvious follow up would have been, "what if you make the post season". He probably just beat them to the punch.
What Porcello wanted no part of was the helmet that Wussilis was aiming at him. Porcello put the smack down on him.
I gleaned more mockery from that post than whining. But, carry on.
Do we really need 2 threads to discuss a third place team?

Damn shame about Youkillis.
Youk is out for the season. I wonder if he cried when getting the news.
His ugly goatee wont be missed.
Go Yankees!
He's gonna have a lot of angry sex with his wife.

Maybe he didn't want any part of it because he doesn't like blood?
That's a pretty decent spray flying out of Youk's nose.

Someone should start a message board where Red Sox fans who don't want to read Yankee fans whining about Boston media articles can post.
"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."
If the Youk injury happened a week ago, I'd bet Berkman would be a member of the Sox right now.
Probably true.
Who are they going to use now? Lowell?
“If he ever looks mad at you, go ahead and hit him before he sucker punches you.”
-Thurman Munson on Billy Martin
Most likely. He's at 1st tonite.
At this point in his career Lowell reminds me of another great Red Sox first-baseman:
Bill was 36 in 1986, same age as Lowell is now.

Just noticed this but why do the Sox have Beltre hitting 6th, he's their best hitter right now.
Critics rave:
"I hate this player" - THEBOSS84
"send this worthless man back to AAA" - Zac
"[Joba] should be kicked in the nuts the next time he fist-pumps..." - teknetic
Supposedly the Sox are looking into the possibility of signing Delgado.
This high resolution photo also allows you to see the chin-weed shrapnel spewing off his face as he gets manhandled to the ground.Maybe he didn't want any part of it because he doesn't like blood?
That's a pretty decent spray flying out of Youk's nose.
According to many in RSN, this is a picture of Kevin Youkalis teaching that punk kid Porcello a lesson!Maybe he didn't want any part of it because he doesn't like blood?

Merry f'ing Christmas
I'm so behind here. Youk's out for the season?Tom Caron (NESN reporter, I believe) on Twitter:
Hate to say this, just for the karma, buuut, for the Sox - what postseason?
Wow . . . even though I'm not too surprised.
The Sox could sweep the Yankees and their season would still be over.Time to start the countdown to truck day because the season ends this weekend
The mere fact that they are still in "striking distance" this late is a mini miracle.
00000000100000000000100000000001
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.
The Sox are still alive if they can manage to take 3 out of 4 this weekend. Anything less and I think the writing is on the wall...unless TB starts unraveling soon.
I don't care what the pitching matchups might be, with no Pedroia and Youkilis in the lineup, I'm not overly optimistic.
What if they trade Nomar before 7:05pm tomorrow? WS locked up, right?
seriously...Beckett has managed to out-douche Papelbon..no easy task.
from the other DB Red Sox files:
Zero athletes have ever had it? did he see every doctor in the world? what a dumb statement."It really stinks," Youkilis said. "[This injury] is very rare. Zero athletes have had it, at least as far as the doctors have said. It was a freak accident. I don't know how it happened or the reason behind it. It just happened."
but that's only for non-athletes."If there is a silver lining, it is that it is pretty routine surgery," Epstein said. "He'll be back to 100 percent, and have a normal offseason."

Well, Youkilis is an athlete in the loosest sense of the word only.from the other DB Red Sox files:

"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."
You're being ridiculous. The 1986 Red Sox made the playoffs.At this point in his career Lowell reminds me of another great Red Sox first-baseman:
Bill was 36 in 1986, same age as Lowell is now.
BTW, can someone quote this pic three or four more times? It would really help out this friend of mine.
"Pitchers throw baseballs."
-Tim McCarver
I don't even know what the hell that has to do with the upcoming series.
Never count the Red Sox out in this early stage. A series can turn a team around. The Yankees sure look much better on paper but they just lost a series to the Jays, which is worse than the Red Sox. If the Rays can score with only two good hitters in the lineup, the Red Sox can do the same. The key is their pitching.
I agree, the Red Sox aren't to be taken lightly despite all their injuries. I'm impressed with how well they've managed to play with a AAAA lineup. Though I think their playoff chances are just about out the window, it's too early to celebrate and too dangerous to assume the weekend will be a cakewalk.
Still, let's take 3 of 4.
"Whether they're offended or not, that's the way it is."
the yankees are5-5 in last ten sox are 7-3 wait till after the weekend before you get cocky guys !!
http://daynperry.com/2010/08/05/inte...edro-martinez/Future Hall of Famer Pedro Martinez, who enjoyed one of the great peaks of any pitcher in baseball history, recently agreed to take a few questions from me. He did so as part of the Gillette Fusion ProGlide Summer Job program.
Dayn Perry: You said at the end of the 2009 World Series that you weren’t retiring. So when are you coming back?
Pedro Martinez: (Laughs) That’s a great question. I thought I was going to be back but it didn’t happen. So I decided to go on vacation with my kids. I’m still open to whatever happens, though.
DP: So you’re willing to play in 2011 under the right circumstances?
PM: I think so, I’m thinking that way. I’d say I’m 50/50 on playing next season.
...DP: Do you miss Dan Shaughnessy?
PM: No, no, no. That’s the only thing I don’t miss about Boston. I’m pretty sure other players feel that way, too.
I wonder if this experience will force Youk to alter his grip and swing a little bit. Although I've seen guys with an overhead approach (I even tried that in college to get rid of a hitch in my swing) he's got one of the most unorthodox grips I have ever seen. Look kinda like a grabbing a garden tool.
"Do not try this at home."
updating...
How did he jam his finger?
Anyone notice that Dice-K is slowly turning into a decent pitcher again?
