Jon Lester apparently is being tested for cancer. If I was on the Sox at this point I'd demand a release for fear of being disfigured or something. http://redsox.bostonherald.com/redSox/view.bg?articleid=155250
ouch....... Not to make a joke here...But I told my wife the CURSE OF THE BAMBINO would become THE CURSE OF THE BLOODY SOCK
You just have to hope that this is just the Boston media overreacting to tests of a different nature (it wouldn't be the first time that Dan Shaughnessy was accused of sensationalism.) On an unrelated note, with Lester apparently out of the rotation will David Pauley take his place? What happened to that dude?
Who would have ever thought this team would fall apart the way they have. Even before the injuries, we are talking about roughly a 13 game swing in less than 45 days? You look at the second game of the doubleheader and get a bit ticked off that Torre chose not to bring Mo in the game..and they you start to say to yourself..its resting time in the bronx. I know it would be sweet to pass the Tigers...but its great to finally be able to sit back a bit and rest some players.
Why are you obsessed with the 1 seed?....If the Yanks are 2, then they get CHI...If they are 1 ...they get Chi......As far as the Tigers go, I am confident we can take them in a 7 game series...
:lol: I know Villone has been getting kudos..and hes your typical 162 game reliever to eat innings...but let me tell you something...3-3, 7th inning against the white sox..and in marches Villone...I would go in to another room and not even have the balls to watch it. Proctor..hit or miss..he will get important innings in the playoffs. I can see him getting key outs in 2 games and blowing 1. Thats Proctor. Just that blowing 1 in a 7 game series is tough to take. Lets face it..along with the rest of the major league, not too many teams have those guys that can eat up the 7th and 8th innings....except the Angels perhaps..and they are probably not going to be there anyway..thank God.
Thats true. Quite honestly..if we get past the White Sox...I would be very surprised if the Tigers are still standing anyway.
jaywayne said it's great to sit back and rest some players. I "sarcastically" said Proctor and Villone. I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, it has nothing to do with my comment about resting Proctor and Villone. Infact, my intentions were for Proctor and Villone to be rested more in the regular season, which would mean I really don't care about the #1 seed. Regardless of that, since when have I been obsessed with the 1 seed? I've been the one saying all night in another thread I think the Yankees are better than all the playoff teams in the AL.
Damn. That's just insane. I despise Boston, but could any team have worse luck at this point? Sure, I like winning the division, but I don't exactly want it like this. Good luck to Lester. That's a crappy turn of events.
Best of luck to Lester with whatever may or may not be wrong with him. As for the Red Sox... Thanks to the apparent trade of Fat Slob David Wells, tonights starter will be Julian Tavarez. Unreal.
I think the Tavarez thing is only a formality. Wells hasn't been officially traded, so he's still on the roster and that means there's no room for the REAL expected starter, Lenny DiNardo, who would have to be activated from the DL.
