    Short Term Memory Loss

    Just when it was time to start thinking that the Mirabelli trade for Mark Loretta and the Arroyo trade for Willy Mo Pena were critical mistakes; Mark Loretta steps up and injects a quick fix of short term memory loss into Red Sox Nation. A strong case could be made that Saturday's loss to Seattle would have never happened if the Red Sox didn't trade Wakefield's personal catcher Dough Mirabelli to the Padres for Loretta. It is no secret that Josh Bard, Jason Varitek and seemingly anyone other than Doug Mirabelli can not catch Wakefield's knuckler effectively. Bard's catching follies on Saturday lead directly to Seattle scoring and the Red Sox losing that game. It is also quite obvious that Bronson Arroyo would have started the Patriot's Day game if he wasn't traded for Wily Mo Pena. Instead Lenny DiNardo got the ball on Monday even though he has only had one start in the two previous years. The Red Sox should have known that David Wells is a worthless sack of crap, Foulke can't close, and Papelbon would not be in the starting rotation prior to getting rid of Arroyo. It should go without mentioning that Wily Mo Pena has not contributed one iota to the 2006 Red Sox, and may never if he doesn't learn how to have a good at bat. Alas all of this is forgotten for one day thanks to Loretta's walkoff homerun. Amen.

    I've never hit a walkoff home run at any level,"-- Mark Loretta 4/17

    Then there is always the man of class Carl Everett. Everett went 0-3 with Seattle's sole RBI. Carl did Schilling look good out there?
    I'm not going to give him credit, that'll never happen. I make my living off of pitchers."-- Carl Everett 4-14

    Better Know a Wells


    Part 1 of a 27 part series:

    David Wells sucks this time of year. He may in fact suck all times of the year now that he is soon to be 43 years old. To think that this bum has the temerity (Lou Dobbs word) to complain about not getting an earlier start this year is mind boggling.

    Well Well Well, Here We Go Again


    "It is what it is, it's a bad night, no excuses. Physically, I felt great, nothing like that, but just the conditions. I had no feel for the ball, at all. When you don't (have) that, you don't make the pitches, you fight yourself and basically the ball's down the middle, they know it. You can't throw a curveball or anything else, I just stuck to the changeup and fastball and you saw the results of that. I have to have all my pitches to be effective."-- David Wells on last minor league start

    BOOM SHACKALACKA

    April 7, 2006
    The PawSox were beaten on Friday night at McCoy Stadium, 9-1. Veteran lefty David Wells didn't fare well, giving up 7 runs in 5 innings. Wells was in Pawtucket on a Major League rehab assignment as he continues to recover from offseason knee surgery. Things got off to a rough start for Wells as Indy scored 3 runs in the first and 4 more in the next four frames.
