How much confidence do Red Sox fans have in Mike Timlin? Look no further than to the reaction at Sons of Sam Horn when Timlin was brought into a tie game in the ninth inning Tuesday.
Ugh Timlin + Safeco = disaster
Everyone can go to bed now. Losing Pitcher: M. Timlin (2-3)
Timlin Time. Please keep all [...]

Chipper Jones is the National League’s version of Derek Jeter, and it’s about so much more than having spent an entire career with the same organization.
More? That would be nice.
Jones has always put the team’s interests ahead of his own personal stats — whether it’s moving to the outfield for two seasons or giving [...]
Tagged rick sutcliffeThere are good losses (coming back from 7-1 on the road against one of the best closers in the game) and there are bad losses; losses that go beyond the final score.
Two players forced to leave the game (Coco – stomach / Drew – wrist), unable to score with the bases loaded and no outs, [...]
Now that’s an ace.
After the worst loss of the season Josh Beckett quickly got the Red Sox back to their winning ways with 7 innings of 1 run ball. Impressive pitching against a very good lineup. Even more encouraging was the work of Hansen and Delcarmen in the 8th and 9th. If they get rolling [...]
From commenter Felix Heredia on Bronx Banter regarding Cliff Lee:
This guy is gonna come crashing back to earth. 91 mph fastballs don’t “explode” through the zone. His pace and delivery is flummoxing batters, not unlike okajima’s briefly did. But it’s style – albeit subtle – over substance.

A comment in a waswatching thread regarding Brian Cashman by Zack:
Dice-K hardly seems worth the amount they are paying him. He can try and get away with walking 8 men in 5 innings all he wants, but that only lasts so long.
So far in 2008 Dice-K is 5 and 0 with an ERA of 2.43, [...]
