Yes, IF he could stay healthy, which he can’t.

Trade him and resign Lester to a long term deal. Then move Workman to the starting rotation, see what Peavy does and go from there.

Peavy’s off the books after next year; Lackey after 2015.T hey should have more youngsters or free agents to plug in to those spots.

Though Tampa/St. Pete is a bit of a drive from here I have been there to see the Indians and Rays play. Too bad the playoff game in Cleveland didn’t go their way.

Did you see "Baseball Tonite" on ESPN?..

I wish I had seen that last night. It's one of my and hubby's favorite shows. I was so busy watching the NESN and MLB Network post-game shows, I forgot about ESPN.

I regularly watch the MLB network hilite program, and Harold Reynolds is lucky that ESPN forced him out over that trumped up sexual harassment accusation.. He's superb.

My husband and I agree with you... Harold Reynolds is superb and I fully believe that was a trumped up sexual harassment accusation, as you said.

Living in CT, I hear lots of rumors of what it's like to work at Bristol, CT-based ESPN. Overall it doesn't sound like a great place to work. Harold is either lucky - or smart - to get out of ESPN.

Did you see "Baseball Tonite" on ESPN?..What idiot thought they could do a LIVE show right outside Fenway, without Sawx fans screaming their heads off..

Those Sawx fans had nothing else to do, as I'm sure the Fenway-area bars were all closed last night, LOL.

We were lucky to have attended the awesome Saturday night game at Fenway, when the Red Sox defeated the Detroit Tigers. In anticipation of excessive "celebration" that night, the Boston Police closed down all the bars in the immediate Fenway area.

We stayed inside Fenway until about 1:15 AM, but once we were out on the street, we were stunned to see all the bars closed. Usually the bars on Lansdowne Street are hopping until the wee hours on a Saturday night...

Yes, we were rooting for Terry Francona's Indians!

I’m convinced that Buchholz doesn’t have the physical or mental “stuff” to be a true #1 or #2. He’s supposed to be BOS’s best pitcher, but when he’s needed most, IN THE WORLD SERIES, they have to put his start off for as long as they can. Schmuck.

I agree. Who the hell knows what's going on inside Clay's head?

Found this on BostonDirtDogs.com last night (you have to watch a short commercial before video starts):

Watch Buchholz lobbing balls in the outfield before Game 1 of the WS

Clay looks rather girlish, doesn't he? *sigh*

A “miracle”. I hope BOS sweeps, if for no other reason than that will be the end of listening to Dumb and Dumber.

I agree. I assume Dumb and Dumber are Joe Buck and the super-annoying Tim McCarver.

I can barely tolerate Buck - he seems to be Fox Sports #1 Golden Boy - but McCarver??? There are so many other former MLB players who would be SO much better in that role than Tim McCarver!

“Clay looks rather girlish, doesn’t he? *sigh*”

Hence, the term ‘irma’.

Yep.

There are so many other announcers that would be better than either of them, period.

Duh Cards, media, fans are whining that Lester put something on the ball. Yawwwwn. It’s for grip. Bring back the rosin bag behind the pitching mounds.

I just threw out Stanley’s name as banter as an alternative for Shiraldi and Oil Can.

To be fair to Plesac, he said "almost a miracle" when I re-watched the repeated MLB segment.

Is that like 9 tenths of a miracle? ;^)

Yep. What can you do? It’s another reason I want a sweep; no more ‘D’-level announcers.

Hubby said the 2004 Red Sox team -about 9 of them - threw out the first pitch tonight. OF COURSE stupid Fox didn't show that... We were stuck watching commercials and listening to Dumb and Dumber.

And stuck listening to that liberal peacenik - James Taylor's - wimpy rendition of our National Anthem. Grr!

OK Fox just showed a quick clip of the first pitch, but we didn't see it live.
