Final Score
Red Sox 1
Indians 7
Failed Experiment: Can we finally put this Bard/Wakefield experiment out of its misery? 4 more passed balls last night, 10 in 5-starts on the season…haven’t seen a marriage produce results this bad since Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston!
If the Sox insist on someone other than Jason Varitek catching the knuckleballer, can they at least do whatever is necessary to get Doug Mirabelli back from the Padres. It’s not like they need him…he’s just sitting behind a washed up Mike Piazza. What do you say…David Wells for Mirabelli and Dave Roberts?
Catching Up: While on the subject of former Red Sox, I figured this might be a good time to check on how a few of last year’s fan favorites are doing in their new digs:
Johnny Damon: .286 AVG, .374 OBP, 1-HR, 10-RBI, 15-Runs, 5-SB
Doug Mirabelli: .167 AVG, .318 OBP, 1-Run, goose eggs everywhere else
Bill Mueller: .320 AVG, .435 OBP, 2-HR, 13-RBI, 9-Runs
Kevin Millar: .209 AVG, .264 OBP, 2-HR, 10-RBI, 11-Runs
Edgar Renteria: .365 AVG, .400 OBP, 2-HR, 11-RBI, 10-Runs, 1-SB
And the one that really hurts right now:
Bronson Arroyo: 4-0, 2.34 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, 30-K’s in 34.2 Innings
OUCH!!!

Bronson Arroyo's carrying my fantasy staff! Great trade to the little league, I mean National League. Thanks Theo!

You forgot to mention Damon hasn't missed any time due to injury unlike Captain Crunch. You also forgot to mention Pedro. I sure hope he sucks in year four of that contract. Otherwise the Red Sox are going to look like even bigger idiots than they do now. Just imagine a rotation of Schilling, Pedro, Beckett, Wakefield. You could throw a monkey into the 5th spot and still win over 100 games.
Thanks Theo. Plug that into your computer.

Enough already with this Bard Bashing. This guy is a backup catcher!!!
If the Sox could score some runs for Wakefield we wouldnt be talking about Bard.

Catching up:
Damon: Yankees overpaid for him, if Crisp had not got hurt he would have similar numbers
Mirabelli: traded him for an all star second baseman
Mueller: kness will go anyday now
Millar: not even going to waste my time with this one
Renteria: couldnt handle the pressure in Boston
Arroyo: just wait untill the National League teams face him the second time around, he will get lit up like a xmas tree
One more thing, Last time i checked the Sox were in first place

1. Josh Bard has NOT cost the Red Sox a game. However I do believe Tek should catch Wake, Simply because we need his bat. Have you seen the Lineup when Wake pitches? pathetic.
2. Catching up? you stole my idea, Jerk.
