red sox lineup tonight

[soccer10k]

Just when things couldn't any worse for Boston - they did. Papelbon left the game in the 9th holding his throwing shoulder after a breaking ball to Overbay.

 

They are supposed to get most of the guys back early next week (Tek, Nixon, Ortiz, Gonzalez, Pena, maybe Ramirez). 5.5 back with 28 to play is probably too much. If Papelbon is done, they are done.

 

Who's going to get hurt next for the Red Sox? Schilling? Beckett? I mean, it can't get much worse now can it?

It can't? Look at what happened to the Cubs. Someone like Loretta will go down next. :cry:

Well, if they lose Schilling or Beckett, then they can be entered into the discussion with the Cubs of which team has been most injury-prone.

It continues. Schilling was scratched this morning from his Monday start against the White Sox. He has a mild strain in his right side which apparently occured while warming up for his last start at Oakland.

I didn't believe you until I looked up the Red Sox MLB site and Julian Tavarez will be starting in place of Schilling on Monday.

 

In other news, the city of Boston has recorded record suicide rates over the past 3 weeks.

Their team was better last year, but still, wasn't even close to having the ability to get to the WS.

 

Yes they were. Three weeks ago they were the favorite in the East..

 

Gotta disagree. The loss of Damon really hurt that team.

 

Not as much as you think. Had Coca Crisp stay healthy, I seriously doubt you would have made that statement. IMO, losing Damon pretty much had no affect on the season.

 

Now losing Jason Varitek (the heart and soul, the Captain) to injury, now THAT was a major blow. You can replace what Damon brought to the team, but you couldn't replace what Varitek brought.

If your heart and soul is hitting .243/.331/.411 and you are the Red Sox...well, I think your heart and soul is ripping you off.

[YearofDaCubs]

I believe the Red SOx' problems have been their starting pitching.

Boston team ERA by month:

 

April: 4.67

May: 4.62

June: 4.46

July: 4.60

August: 5.81

 

Varitek last played on July 31. I think it's been proven that Varitek meant more to that pitching staff than anything else. He was probably overpaid a bit for that batting line but if you lower your team's ERA by over a run as a catcher, you're worth a decent amount of money.

don't you think the fact that they've been running a bunch of scrubs out there for starts in august (plus all the injuries) has anything to do w/ the higher era? nah, it's all varitek's heartgritsoul.
