    Sweep and then be Swept

    Tuesday, August 28, 2007

    Ripped from the headlines...

    “I don’t think the Red Sox have gotten enough credit for being (in first) as long as they have,” said one baseball executive. “People kept waiting for the Yankees to get hot and catch them. Well, they got very hot. But the Red Sox never gave up the lead. That’s impressive. It’s not easy to be in first place for five straight months.”

    Theo Trades Pena for Cash and Condo for Chestnut


    "It didn't turn out the way we wanted it to. In terms of a pure talent standpoint, it's still subject to debate. There's a chance he could still blossom as a hitter. But here the fit never materialized . . . That's one we'd probably like back. Trades, they don't all work out."--Epstein on Wily Mo Pena trades

    Epstein also just sold his Fenway friendly condo for a Chestnut Hill home. Turns out his wife, Marie, is prego and the newly weds would like a more baby friendly environment.

    I'm not doing my job right now.
    Everything has been there. It's just not making my pitches. I don't know what else to tell you guys. I'm just not making my pitches. I'm not throwing the way I should throw. I have to do my job. I'm not doing my job right now. I'm making it harder on everyone else."-- Gagne 8/10/07

    Rookie of the Year


    When Pedroia hit the ball out, it allowed us to line up the good pitchers, not overextend guys or face people we didn't want to. Some wins seem harder than others, and that was a tough one. Playing tied on the road is very difficult, so it's a lot better having the lead."-- Francona 8/8/07

    Cheers to the Owner

    FLYING IN STYLE




    With 6 Red Sox selected to the All Star game, owner John Henry let them use his private jet to fly to the game in San Francisco. It was a apparently a fun one way ticket as the players did not fly home on Henry's jet.

    Schilling is Welcomed Back With a Loss


    The fast ball pitcher was on the DL for seven weeks with a case of the missing fastball.


    While I'm not throwing the ball 95 anymore, I didn't get beat by my fastball tonight. I got beat making some horrible off-speed pitches."--Schilling 8/06/07

    Top Prospect


    I want to be in Boston...These innings don't count toward trying to win a pennant. It starts counting again on Sunday or Monday."-- Curt Schilling
    7/31/07

    40 year old Schilling took on the Columbus Clippers Tuesday night and made them look like minor leaguers. In three rehab starts he has pitched 15 innings without giving up an earned run.
