Maybe we should try to trade for a journeyman relief pitcher from Toronto because this team is looking increasingly happless.
If someone posted late last Aug. that the Sox wouldn't make the playoffs last fall, Tito and Theo would leave, Sox would hire Bobby V. as manager, would trade Crawford, Beckett and Gonzalez and be 8 games or so under .500 this year... you'd have thought them mad.

Peter Gammons tweeted that Prine Fielder has missed 4 games in 5 years..... More evidence you cant pull fat...
Over the past calendar year, the Red Sox are 69-90, 3rd-worst record in the AL and 6th-worst in MLB. ... There are only four AL starters with an ERA over 5.00 since last September. Two of them are Beckett and Lester.
