I was there last year when Bucholz did it...that was super duper.

sports are still retarded.

yeah shit was awesome awesome was listening on EEI till i got to Winthrop and got to watch the last two innings on NESN

go cancer boy

i'm starting to think that not trading him and ellsbury for santana might have been a wise decision.

cant give away left handed pitching anymore, plus ellsbury is gonna be what coco crisp was supposed to be when he got him

actually ellsbury is gonna be better then crisp

that was me not Megan

thought this said hitler.
lame

I...I could change it....

if that will make you like....happy?

true, but santana is still the best pitcher in baseball. he's a more durable, lefty pedro. well, maybe not quite as good as pedro (his 2000 is the best season ever put forth by a pitcher), but still an incredible talent. i'm not convinced that the sox brass made the right move, but i'm getting there.

dood why have one dood who will win 15 - 18 games when you can have three young pitchers thatll win 15 games each.

plus a young outfielder who will steal 50bases and hit 20hrs and oh yeah tear up the outfield was retarded catches.

dont knock the youth movement bro this shit is gonna get good like the braves did in the 90s

first, 15-18 wins? he's played his entire career with minnesota, not quite the offensive team that the red sox are. he's a lock for at least 20 wins each year with the sox. wins aren't really a good way to judge how good a pitcher is by himself, anyway. look at randy johnson in 2004. 2.60 era, 245 ip, 290 k, 0.90 whip (all ridiculous numbers), and a 16-14 record. wins are a team, not an individual stat.

and we can't know for sure that lester, ellsbury, and the rest of them are going to reach their ceiling. i think, at best, lester will be a good 3. that's good, but think of it this way. world series front 3 of beckett, matsuzaka, and lester vs. beckett, santana, and matsuzaka. i'm taking the latter. and ellsbury hasn't even played half a season yet. plenty of rookies who have made big splashes their first year seem to forget how to play after. pretty much every AL ROY winner between ichiro and pedroia has cooled off significantly. lester and ellsbury MIGHT be good, santana is a PROVEN top-fucking-tier ace.

but again, i'd be fuckin psyched if ellsbury and lester do become great. just don't discount what santana has done, he's the best pitcher of the past 5 years.

lol @ this same fight on EEI every afternoon.

ill take the youth movement.

which show, dale and holley or the big show?

actually pretty much both.....more so with dale and holley the big show has been on celtics/pats talk last couple of days but they got the weiner whiner line so i can deal even if its just about retardedness.

holley w/o dreads = beetlejuice w/ braces.

I hate that clip they always show on Comcast Sportsnet with Holly going "A whole lotta sizzle, not alotta steak there..."

So fucking stupid...

Coco is a bum. Period.

Ellsbury is a far better player in all facets of the game. Tacoby Bellsbury for life!

Ellsbury is great, but he's no superstar!

not yet but yeah he's gonna be

I love the way Youk has progessed.
He went from an okay player to an awesome fielder/hitter in just 3 years

yeah and this is Ellsbury's first real year, give him till next season before he fucking explodes.

and then survives the explosion and plays baseball well!

i hope his legs survive the asplosion so he can keep stealing them bases and flitting around the outfield.

Through 74 games he's got an .830 OPS with 27 stolen bases and gold glove caliber defense. Small sample size, but he's got the tools and makeup to be a superstar, without question.

ellsbury is the greatest athlete of all time. he is the reason why the gawdz made ahms and legz that move around and stuff.

henderson would pwn ellsbury.

my post was a joke

henderson would still pwn ellsbury.
What's Ricky doing these days anyways? Is he still a base coach?

Sure, let's compare one of the greatest outfielders of all time with a rookie who's 74 games into his major league career.

sorry folks, I don't live up to the Ellsbury hype, regardless of his stats and "potential."
He'll never be a Henderson.

Who the fuck is saying he'll be Henderson? Nobody's Henderson.

Stolen base potential.

I've never heard anybody say he'll be on that level, ever. One of the best in the league NOW? Sure, he already is. Best EVER? Anybody making those claims is out of their tree.

I've heard a few people on EEI make that claim but it's usually dismissed.
It was generally agreed though that Ellsbury is the probably the fastest person the Sox have had for years.

Well, he is. Dude used to chase deer as a hobby.

I'd like to see Coco replace Lugo at Shortstop.

i'd like to see a lunk of shit replace lugo at shortstop. he is suckful.

I just want Epstein to just fuck his face and relieve himself of the boner he got for Lugo while he was in Tampa Bay and do the right thing and trade that sack of shit for my dead grandmother

Dave Roberts was pretty fucking quick...Ellsbury is definitely faster, but Roberts could hang.

JD Drew, Lugo and Crisp can all go.

gimme Moss, Lowrie and Ellsbury for next season.

also Ellsbury is a fucking rookie if he lasts ten seasons you can come back and say he's not as good as so and so, he's doing amazing right now.

again i'm for the youth movement in Boston and i'm hoping it'll turn out like the Braves of the 90s

roberts was great.

i'm with you on that

i don't think Drew is that bad, he seems like he has untapped potential. Crisp and Lugo are definite booters.

what game are you watching for the amount of money the Sox are giving him he fucking blows and isnt giving any production.

Moss can come up from Pawtucket and do Drew's job for a third of the price and give more productions.

fuck that hack go to your 4th team in 5 years loser.

fair enough.

LOL


im just saying for 16million a season he should be hitting 30hrs and 100rbi

not giving the same production that Trot Nixon did fucking batting below 300 and hitting maybe 15hrs

again fuck that hack go back to NL

I can't believe I missed the game. I've missed all 4 no hitters thrown by Red Sox pitchers since I started watching baseball in 2000. I hate myself.

You missed Nomo's No No...that shit was ill.

drew had potential when he was drafted back in the late 90s. i don't really think you can say a player in his 30s has potential.

he had untapped potential. now, all he has is unfulfilled potential.

I win forever for actually being at a game where a no-hitter was thrown.
