oldsox Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 12, 2011 -> 08:15 PM) Ozzie seriously, this is as bad as running Billy Koch out there when everyone in the US knew he had no gas left in the tank... Correct. But before we ran Koch out there, we gave him a new contract for $12mm/2 years and letting Foulke go. Way to go Eddie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 QUOTE (Paint it Black @ Apr 12, 2011 -> 09:18 PM) Pen arms are the most volatile thing in baseball, and yet we must blame KW for two weeks of a bad pen. Seriously people, it's a cross county road trip and we are barely out of the drive way. LOL, ironically enough we hear this from at least one poster every April and may yet the prediction has come through the last 2 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 13, 2011 -> 03:19 AM) I want Rios gone if we're 6 or more games out of it by the trade deadline. Yeah right, not with that contract. He needs to pick it up after that dreadful 2nd half of the year last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to pick it up after that dreadful 2nd half of the year last season. We'd have to throw in some cash. I still think the Braves would be an ideal fit.

Soxbadger Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Its April 12. Sox have a better record than the following teams: Twins, Tigers, Yankees and Red Sox. Start of the season has a ton of strange results that you look back on later and say what the hell. Im just hoping that some of this is statistical anomaly and as the season progresses there is a regression toward the mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few roster changes need to be made possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
