If Viciedo's thumb is still in one piece, the time is now to call him up. This lineup just sucks so much against LHP, and can't afford to drop Sunday and Monday's game just due to a s***ty lineup like the one tonight. No Rios please, no Dunn either.

There's no way you trade everyone away in 19 hours.

 

But you can trade away a few smaller pieces and start preparing mentally for 2012.

 

You have to be very, very careful with Humber and Peavy. They're set to be the keys to next year...and you can start looking at Stewart/Santiago/Sale/Infante/Reed as well. They'll need to make a determination on Frasor and Bruney, too.

 

Probably not until the final 1-2 weeks of the season, unless the Yankees and Twins just bury us this week. Who knows with this team?

Good bullpen arms are worthless when your team sucks. We could get some good prospects for Ohman, Thornton, Crain.

 

Someone has to fill in when 2 of your starters have trouble making it past 5 innings. Or you could just forfeit on the basis of "good bullpen arms are worthless" because the team sucks.

Hell, even the Red Sox rely on catching lightning in a bottle with half their roster. That was their entire 2010 plan. Or the in and out every year Yankee pitching staff.

 

 

 

Got it..

And the other half is a superior baseball team

It has to be tomorrow. Monday is already written off. Shouldn't be, because of the beginning of the game against Verlander this past week, but we always get rolled by Sabathia. Doesn't matter what team he's pitching for...

 

3-2 the next five games is probably the best-case scenario.

Quentin - Thornton - Floyd to Red Sox.

 

Ohman - Danks to Yankees.

 

Crain and Frasor to some other team. Or throw them and 30-40% of Rios's salary together to some team.

 

It's sickening watching this, even though Beckham just made a sweet ass play.

If that deal was done, there's just no way the Indians would be letting him start.

 

Imagine if he got hurt tonight and then the deal hadn't been completed. OUCH.

 

That might be a blessing in disguise for the Indians though.

Yes, agreed. If we're going to make a run for this thing we're going to need him. I am actually quite surprised everyone feels the likely loss tonight should result in a panic selloff of the team and basically do a white flag 2 if you will.

 

If we can get the game tomorrow it's a good start to this important homestand...and with this division as winnable as it is, I dont think we're going to make a move. If we're offered an awesome package for one of our desirable players, however, I wouldn't lose sleep if we did a deal that signified we're packing it in...

 

it will be interesting to see how managers in this division get fired at season's end

this division is completely up for grabs.

Red Sox radio guys urging a Sox selloff since we can't seem to get past the .500 mark and "that's a hallmark of a team that's just not going to be able to contend or put a run together."

 

Oh...they probably don't even glance at the AL Central standings until the final week of the season when the Yankees/Red Sox determine who their playoff opponents will be.

Anyone know how to make the font smaller on soxtalk?

 

 

Give Adam Dunn 100 blindfolded swings with your computer hanging from the ceiling...it has to be the biggest laptop in the history of the world suspended in the middle of an imaginary strikezone.
