Workman loses no-no, Sox end first half in 1st nearly start to finish

Voldemort's having himself a nice season in Seattle as well.

Boy, wouldn't that power have been nice at Yankee Stadium this year. Crack GM decided instead to give $12M to finance Youkilis's labioplasty.

ortiz just doing what he always does, chemically induced or not

ibanez has more homers this year so far than he had in the last two or three seasons (not combined)

over the age of 40 in a pitchers park.........

yeah....suspicious

The Iglesias correction has finally begun. I wonder how fast the plummet to .230 will be.

Raul Ibanez is as shameless as Luis Gonzalez was.

I'm craving the correction for Puig. I want to see him humbled and then broken and exposed.

Dempster has allowed three earned runs or fewer in 14 of 19 starts, which on a high-scoring team like the Red Sox will often be good enough to get the job done. He has benefited from some fortuitous timing, serving up 20 home runs and 50 walks in 110⅓ innings, but rarely combining the two — that's how you get a serviceable 4.24 ERA with Fenway as your home park, but also a poor 4.98 FIP. Still, a dose of context is in order. Dempster wasn't replacing some phenomenal pitcher who'd been wooed away by a more aggressive team. All he had to do to help the team was provide an upgrade over Cook and Matsuzaka. He's done that, at what's now about the cost of a two-win player on the open market.

Raul Ibanez age 41

.267 24 HR 56 RBI and .314 OBP

Average is all right though but not great.

They moved the fences in this past off season.

I'm waiting for my wife to update the photos of me drinking with Kevin Millar and Tony Orlando yesterday. Millar is by far the coolest ball player I ever met.

17 feet

that doesnt translate to having more homers in a half season than any of the past two or three

unless now playing time is a valid reason for an upsurge in homeruns like has been tried with Ortiz in here

and again, I dont care what he's doing

hit a brick wall

the best part of this is no one is needling us as fans for it here

because it was expected

 

[HammerDown]

Hammer ... why aren't you socializing with the cools kids today?

Drank way too much yesterday, got a little sunburned, took a zQuil at 7pm and slept for 14 hrs. I am edging closer and closer to the wagon. It's starting to feel like the right time.

So that's messing with my mojo.

 

[nynasty]

Ibanez currently has the highest slugging % of his career, and is on pace to shatter his own single season high of 34 HR.

Can't help but wonder how many he'd have if he were playing everyday in the Bronx.

For Uno:


You could argue that even the most optimistic Red Sox decision makers didn't expect anything quite this great in 2013; if late-2011 and all of 2012 counted as a first-percentile outcome, this year might fall somewhere in the 80s. But a strong rebound season was certainly a reasonable possibility, and most of us just flat-out missed it. Other than Lackey's incredible turnaround and unlikely Rookie of the Year front-runner Jose Iglesias's BABIP of infinity, you'd have a tough time finding many happenings that truly came out of nowhere. We just didn't see what this team had, because we're slaves to the recency effect, and because it's much easier to call for wholesale changes than to sit back, thoroughly analyze a situation, and decide that a terrible outcome might've been simply a spectacular fluke, something that might not happen again if a team replays a thousand more seasons starting from the same first step.

I just ate some bomb szechuan pork

Damn that shit was good

I feel so orientally euphoric right now

 

[black francis]

they have won 58 games

clay has been gone what, 6 weeks?

lester has been awful



did i mention the red sox have won 58 games?

proof that the AL East is weak

Glad Freeman got All-Star final vote over Puig even though Freeman got hurt and cant play now

"Tie a yellow ribbon" Tony Orlando?

These pix I gotta see.

He's gonna drop off big time. His OPS is 170 points less on the road.

wow ... 14 hours is borderline comatose
