John Lackey's demonstrative behavior after Scutaro made an error and botched a DP was brilliant, looked like he was going to go Big Papi on Scutaro's Kevin Gregg. Scutaro should have pointed to the scoreboard though, the one that shows Lackey's 6.75 ERA.

That 09-10 Boston offseason was pretty terrible. Lackey, Scutaro, Cameron, Bill Hall. The savior being the one year signing of Beltre. Lackey is going down as the worst move Theo has ever made. Even worse than Dice-K.

Scott Hairston doing his absolute best to make Terry Collins look like an utter genius.

We should just cut Beltran. Dude sucks in comparison to the beast that is Scott Hairston. Lock him up Sandy.

I hate John Lackey and his behavior. But I'm going to disagree with you. Bill Hall was fine for what they signed him for and he hit something like 15-20 homers as a super-sub. And Scutaro is exactly what they signed him for. So shit on Theo for Lackey/Renteria/amongst others all you want.

Lackey fucking sucks beyond belief and is assuredly the worst contract the Red Sox have. Hilariously he outpitched Shields today (if you ignore the fact that Tampa fucking sucks offensively).

Your seven game winning streak prediction seems to be in jeopardy...

How was Scutaro a bad signing? He had a great year last season playing hurt and is putting up good numbers this year as well.

Lowrie is the ideal but he is made of glass.

I think it'd be awesome when Tabata comes back if we just move Pressly to right and put Jones to some bench role or something. so sick of Jones

edit: aslol's. this is why you're 30+ games under .500

Yeah NC sucks. Baltimore, Washington, Cincinnati (??!!) and the Braves are all 'home' teams. MLB is fucking stupid. So because we don't have one home team we have four. Gee thanks.

Edwin Jackson, I will absolutely never understand the way he works. He can be completely dominate or just flat out Bartolo Colon terrible.

They probably figured y'all would be in the back shooting baskets or in the garage building a new engine.

I played the demo last week and it fucking blows but that's just me. The players' heads constantly shake like they have parkinsons, and the gameplay is fairly vanilla and not very exciting. Jeff mentions it, but it basically plays like a PSone/N64/DC era baseball game, where they were stuck in between the arcadeyness of the SNES era and the full blown sim shit that came about with the PS2/Xbox.

Are you seriously hating on the greatness that was High Heat Baseball? One of the best baseball games ever made precisely because of the "full blown sim shit".

I don't have a problem with sims at all, didn't mean to use the word "shit" as a negative.

The Tigers are looking for starting pitching, and that search has led them to a native Michiganite. Detroit has expressed interest in Derek Lowe according to Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports, though the two sides have not yet had any serious talks.

Ah never mind then.

It is so depressing watching Royals games.

Even with Hosmer + Moose + Alex Gordon and Butler. They have some of the worst starting pitchers I have ever seen in my life. Jeff Francis may be no Kyle Davies but he is still unbelievably awful. Royals should just cut loose all their starting pitchers, sign some relievers and go with a 13 man bullpen.

With his record so far this year, it may be expensive for the Braves to unload the contract.

Maybe, but Wren's fleeced Detroit in the past, and if we don't ask for any prospects back then Detroit might be persuaded to pick up a lot of the tab.

the only worry i have about unloading lowe is that Beachy and Minor might get tired near the end of the season. But...i think i'll take that risk.

Minor definitely would, which is why I think we should roll with a 6-man rotation. Get Teheran in the mix and spread out the innings load. Maybe call up Hoover if it gets bad. He got rocked in his two AAA starts and he's relieving right now, but he'd at least eat some innings.

After the calls Hanson has been getting you have no right to complain about umps tonight.

I hate how our announcers keep trying to talk up Desmond's defense. Maybe if he started hitting you wouldn't have to pretend like he's great at it.
