I'm sorry (yes this is going to sound cruel) but I couldn't care less what's wrong with him. He deserves it for all the shit he put on other people. He made people feel like shit, he didn't care about people and he boasted about it. Now it's his turn to be shit on.

Here's the latest:
Ramon Vazquez to Cleveland for Alex Cora Jay Payton has been designated for assignment Also Peter Gammons' nuggets of info on ESPNEWS: -Sox looking at a bullpen pitcher for Jay Payton -There is no market for Millar right now, source of controversy in the clubhouse -Eddie Guardado won't go to Boston -Sox will not trade one of 5 top prospects for a RP |

Alex Cora is a good pickup for the Sox. Great defensive middle infielder and not half bad with the stick either, though his average sucks. Probably having trouble adjusting to the AL pitching. Remember that 18 pitch at bat last year which culminated in a home run? I won't soon forget that.

Now the buzz is all about Curt being a reliever for the Sox. I don't like the idea at all. That's not his role. That's not his style. Sure it worked for Smoltz but I don't see it working for Shill at all. Curt needs way too many warm up pitches to get loose. I can see Arroyo doing some but don't like that much either. The Sox are just gonna have to come off some money and make a good deal late. I'd rather have Curt as an ace any day and I think he deserves to keep that role given what he did for the Sox last season.

I'd really hate to see Arroyo go but I also didn't want Cabrera to go. Now I'm glad he did go. I read a Page 2 article that called the BoSox players idiots for not wanting Curt to be a closer. Why is that idioic? They know how Curt can pitch and they know what his style is like. I think the author of the article is an idiot. How's them apples?
Anyway, I'm getting anxious to see what Theo is going to do. I know there's time left and Theo will pull something out of his ass but damn, this suspense is almost as bad as Game 4 of the ALCS. |

Regarding Curt, here is a perfect example of why he should not be coming out of the 'pen: 2004 Season Pitch-Count Stats (ERA, WHIP, Opp. Avg) Pitch 1-15: 7.07-1.21-.287Pitch 16-30: 3.78-0.87-.186Pitch 31-45: 1.59-0.68-.151Pitch 46-60: 0.86-0.99-.224Pitch 61-75: 2.19-0.68-.188Pitch 76-90: 4.91-1.47-.306Pitch 91-105: 3.38-1.92-.355Pitch 106-20: 3.09-1.11-.250Pitch 121-35: 0.00-3.00-.333Curt struggles to get going in a game even when he is healthy, never mind trying to comeback from a major injury. He needs to pitch in the starter's role or, if push comes to shove, in long relief. |

From what I see (you may want to correct me on this) but it seems like Curt is <i>wanting</i> to pitch relief. I don't understand wtf he's thinking. I'm wondering if he just wants to help the team out so badly that he'll take what he can get for now. Who knows.
Those are some great numbers you posted. I hope that Theo and the rest of the management is looking at those very closely before they decide to do something stupid. Hell I'd rather get Pedro back before I saw Curt as a closer. |

According to the Providence Journal, the Sox are sending Jay Payton to Oakland for reliever Chad Bradford. Here's the article:

3 of 4 from the Indians....not too shabby, if not for a horrible start by Darrell May they sweep. The Sox stumbled against the O's setting up a good series with the Yankees, I can't wait. I will say though, Hafner wasn't hitting like his usual self until the lsat two games of the series, which the Yankees had trouble with....so I'm feeling lucky.
I still find it funny that people said the Yankees were dead when the Sox were playing just bad as us . The O's play Seattle so if I were a Boston fan I'd be worried about them taking over first place. |

I'm not really worried if the O's take over first place. There's <i>ALOT</i> of baseball left to play and I just don't think the O's will be there in the end. We'll see what happens though. here's something I wish would come true: Quote:

I hope they do. That looks like the only market there is for him. Who knows. I still don't understand why Olerud doesn't get a majority of the starts. Francona ought to be smart enough to realize how bad Millar is playing.. maybe he feels he owes Millar a chance?? (Mark Bellhorn anyone?)

and yes, I agree that people thought the O's were dead but I figured that with the record they had against Boston this year, they'd be able to straighten themselves out. |

Unlike the MFYs, second base is not a big problem for the Sox. The bullpen and the blow-up doll at first base are the biggest holes on the team (no pun intended). |

Boston sweep of the Yankees and an Orioles sweep of the Mariners.
Get the Yankees out of the way so the good teams can fight it out.

Finally, I have some time to post, I'm pumped about the win last night......although tonight is a different matter, I sense a high scoring affair. I'm not sold on Schilling being so ineffective out of the bullpen, it was his first time out and he got hit by two great hitters....I'll take it

It's one outing for Curt so it doesn't say anything about him being sucessfull during his short relief stint. However, one thing was apparant and that is that his velocity is way down. I didn't see the game but I heard he topped out at 91 and most of his FBs were in the 87-88 range. That's not good.
I came across this also and it doesn't look good either: Quote:

CLEVELAND ROCKS......... #1 A.L. WILDCARD SEED
As the Chisux choke and the A's fall apart who's there???????? Cleveland As the Spankees egos take over and they decide not to play as a team.... who's there?????? CLEVELAND The Jake is coming alive in 2005, and the Indians have the pitching, the hitting and the attitude to take it all baby. 1994 before the strike Cleveland was in the same spot..... and who knows what could have happened... 11 years later Cleveland has the team that everyone else is envious of and this time it has the pitching. 2006 BABY A REPEAT OF 1995 EXCEPT WITH A BETTER OUTCOME THE W.S. RINGS and another 5-6 year run of owning the A.L.

WHOOMP there they are
WHOOMP there they are CLEVELAND ROCKS BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It sounds like freaking Joe Morgan (who is an icon for his play in Cincy), just can't stand the fact CLEVELAND ROCKS. He sounds so bad, so unintelligent about Cleveland's team. Course he is a lousy announcer.
