Kyle Farnsworth and Latroy Hawkins and Jose Veras in the same game is like a concession that the game is already lost.

Goddamn, our bullpen is so, so bad.
 
I got to say some of the players in this draft have great names, Yonder Alonso, Shooter Hunt, Buster Posey, Chisenhall, Smoak, Hosmer.
 
I hope we have the $$$ for Hewitt, dude has a full ride to Vandy. And this was 100% a Gillick pick, dude is straight raw.

Casey Kelly has also signed a letter of intent to play (well, potentially play) QB at Tennessee. But as a Vols fan, I have my doubts at this point. Getting drafted by Boston is a pretty sweet deal... so I imagine he'll never wear the orange. Not a huge loss, but I imagine the LOI with Tennessee hurt his signability for some teams.

Oh for fuck sakes BJ... just got home to this shit.

We have the best pitching staff in baseball and BJ Ryan.

Something needs to go.
 
Mannys been covering for Papi power wise while he's gone... that 498 slump is over. He's hit in 10 straight now I think? He's on fire.
 
rays are a bunch of pussies. Throwing haymakers while he's down?!

And Shields swings like kobe :lol :lol

+1000 for Coco
 
Are you kidding me? I guess this team has really been that far out of the loop... they don't even know how to have a fucking brawl. Classless pieces of shit. He had 5 or 6 rays throwing punches... they lose their starting pitcher in the 3rd, they're going to lose 5 or 6 of their starters for a while. What a Joke you don't throw punches when they're down.
 
So this BOS/TB game, and the fallout from it, may be where the Tampa Bay Rays' stagecoach turns back into a pumpkin.

AL East re-education CONFIRMED.

Crawford is in too. They don't review the tape, they just go by what they saw. Trust me this team is in BIG trouble now. Gomes, Iwamura, Crawford, Shields, Navarro, and possibly more are all in danger of being suspended. Along with that the Rays are going to have to use some serious bullpen here... like others have said inexperience of ACTUALLY being a contender shows here, because they just threw away first place. Classless morons.
 
Carl Crawford is a bitch. Quick, put Hansen in and have him stick one in his ribcage.

I think it's safe for us to start referring to them as the Tampax Bay Rays again.
 
3rd round: A's take Preston Paramore, catcher from ASU.

Also: Fuck you Texas Rangers for drafting Justin Smoak one pick before the A's could get re-draft him...
 
Nooooo Ellsbury better be alright :(... I knew as soon as he hit the ground he was in trouble. Hopefully it's not broken.

that was such a dumbass catch by Elsbury.

Jesus.

it was incredible... if he's injured that's no good :(... sox have been plagued this year with injuries. Lowell, Beckett, Schilling, Papi, Drew, and now ellsbury. He has a good shot at Rookie of the year. Ridiculous amount of stolen bases, and an incredible glove.

edit- Hey so I don't post in the MLB thread much at all. I posted a lot in the NFL thread. What's the story in here. Whose hated/loved etc.?
