That sucks. He just wouldn't ever be negative about the Sox. Positive at all times. The Sox pretty much got to the rest of us.

OK, end part of the hex. PICK HIM UP. Pay him minimum; Astros pay rest. GO SOX! Jose baby!

Whatever happened to the most positive sox fan ever, El Rockin? Is he OK? Bad loss tonight. 7-1 beatdown. Had to be awful watching it.

Thanks for the link. I'm definitely a CC fan. She's even trying with an aggressive antagonistic media that for some reason is mainly asking her societal type questions, nothing about basketball. She's kept her cool and given great answers but I wouldn't blame CC for turning into a one word or two word interviewee. The media for some reason wants her out of the league; the players of course want her out of the league. Bizarre, sad, weird, I guess modern America. We hate each other greatly. We hate everybody.

Nice posts Caulfield. I realize there are some good players who have joined the league of late not just CC with those u mentioned still to come. But why the sudden interest in the actual women's game? They do not dunk. They miss a lot of inside shots. There is absolutely no athleticism. Yes some pinpoint passes are exciting but they've had the passing in year's past and nobody cared. So u are telling me the league is popular and not just cause of CC? Interesting. No offense but I'm not a big fan of the game. I do find CC's deep 3s intriguing though. The way they go through the hoop. She definitely is quite accurate. She puts the rock rite in the middle of the goal. What balance.

Crochet is so good it's hard to believe. Every GM of a contender should be wanting him. You inherit a No. 1 starter who makes no money to speak of. He actually was Sox best top 15 draft pick in eons. Hard to believe they will give one of their own away even if it's for a king's ransom. If some team wants Crochet, it has to be an all time one-sided deal. They get a No. 1 starter who will lead them to a pennant probably and we get 6-8 players, four of which are top 50 prospects. I want to keep him for the record. 13 Ks on the road today? Excellent dominant job by Crochet.

Great post. Can you imagine the hatred that will be involved in that game?? The WNBA all-star team will not want to pass to Clark, their teammate. Meanwhile the Olympic all stars will be out to mug her so to speak. Clark will be pushed, shoved, maybe even a box and one on her. The mission will be to stop Clark at all costs. This is all so stupid and unneccesary. Even LeBron has spoken up for Clark and that did no good. It's going to be ugly in this game you suggest will be played. So ugly. Clark's teammates will 'hate' on her; the olympic team will be out to stop her at all costs.

The jealousy is off the charts. It's as if most of the NBA players would be fine with kicking Clark out of the league. I guess they are offended people are saying the league can't make it on its own (sans Clark). I wonder when there will be a real fight in a game. Which WNBA player is going to flat out slug CC with a right hook?

That's why I'm wondering why all of a sudden there's talk of a HUGE TV contract coming for WNBA. CC can only play in so many games. I guess whoever buys the rights will just show 90 percent Fever games and CC will be on pretty much 9 of 10 games. p.s. Have you seen how many inside shots are missed in women's basketball since the women don't dunk except on rare breakaways? If CC isn't playing is attendance actually up or not? In non CC games in arenas.

For the record, please do not trade Crochet or Robert. You can build teams around these guys. They've done it and will do it. Trade Pham and DeJong and Maldy and Fedde and those guys. Please get rid of Beni.

Is Robert that injury prone? Don't you feel as if his injuries are more legit than Eloy's? Robert isn't an injury waiting to happen is he? Eloy is.

You ain't seen nothin yet til you look at next year's roster. It'll be even worse.

Three hits won't cut it. Embarrassing. At least Cannon looked amazing. Is he supposed to be this good? Sox have lost what? 16 of 17?

I wouldn't mind watching one game. Anywhere i can get it free?

Maybe Nicky wants to be a manager or coach someday. He's one of those players who is a dime a dozen and not really valuable. So study the game and manage someday?

The Sox have lost 15 of 16 right? We're experiencing unprecedented failure.

Hank, I do want our prospects to do well when they come up. As far as the team, we're so far out of it I kind of get a sick delight when the Sox lose. I mean truly any win we get is meaningless. However I want the young guys with a future to do well. And an older guy like Pham and even DeJong. His power surge has been interesting. DeJong might be our all star representative if not Crochet. I did not realize Robert's BA was so low.

u shoulda went and bought a jacket for 300 bucks in the gift shop. kidding.

That's one of my favorite posts ever. Very informative even only a one-game sample size. ... Alarming about nobody except Lee talking to our pitcher. Very very sad. Also funny that you talked to so many players. That's funny you heckled some of them. Very alarming about Robert having no friends on the team. Says a lot about our team's lousy culture. Sounds like a rude dugout if they yelled at you for your one comment on pulling the ball. Obviously they don't like fans much. Did u laugh when we blew the lead again?

Bullpen ... historically bad. Starting pitcher: he did well. Next game will tell me more. He'll be relaxed. I'm surprised some of the stat people on the site aren't alarmed that he's not a flamethrower. I guess he has a good changeup at least that's what they showed on the mlb highlights.

I'm tending to think it's the $$. He makes a good buck and Jerry seems to enjoy hoarding money while not freaking out about all the losing.

Should be interesting to see how NBC handles coverage of men's and women's Olympic bball. The men's tournament includes a lot of NBA players not only on Team USA (LeBron LeBron LeBron mania means TV dollars) but other teams and all those games will have to be shown in their entireity. So do you think NBC will go for equity and cover the women's team just as much as the men this year at the Games? Or do you think NBC, upset at the loss of ratings by a stupid decision to keep CC off the team, will essentially boycott coverage of the women? I say equity wins and the women will have unprecedented coverage at the Games. Also there will be no discussion of CC outside of pregame coverage of game one.

Hate to say this but this Clark/WNBA/Olympic Game fiasco makes me wonder how brain deficient many people are in this country. 1.) CC joins the league and immediately the players get to board charter flights instead of the dreaded commercial. Do the jealous WNBA players who reap this benefit deny that the charter flights are 100 percent because of CC? They were not going to switch to charter before she joined the league. ... Are the WNBA players, who make mere pennies compared to players in the NBA that dumb to realize their checks can only go up as crowds and TV deals go up? Is jealousy that rampant it wipes out common sense?? The more popular CC gets the more money is tossed my way? We've learned either the WNBA players are brain deficient or jealousy is more powerful emotion than desire for cold, hard cash. 2.) Virtually everybody outside of USA Basketball and the jealous WNBA has said it's downright dumb to not have CC on the Olympic team for myriads of reasons mostly involving $$ (jersey sales, media interest, etc). So they keep her off the team. Again, I guess we've learned jealousy trumps $$ in that world. All the commentators are aghast at keeping her off the team. Pure jealousy of the players to refuse to let their league grow by the people's choice, the Taylor Swift of women's hoops (little girls just love CC the role model) being allowed on Team USA. Sad. Sad Sad. Let the league grow.

Are the Sox trading Robert because he makes a good salary? Are the Sox that desperate for working cash? Sad that most of the fanbase is probably OK with trading him. Seems that way.

Is Thorpe the next Jack McDowell? Give him two starts before you develop an impression of him. Give him a break, folks if he doesn't excel the first outing. Why has he been traded twice? Did the Yanks not like his velocity?
