No please, let it continue
In all seriousness, he's done. He's killing his legacy as a dominant pitcher.
theo needs to do something asap with this cluster**** of a rotation if the sox want any chance of making the playoffs. and paul byrd is not the answer.
smoltz sucks, penny sucks, and buchholz is a *****.
lester and beckett can't carry the team by themselves.

I'm actually surprised you guys are still hanging around. I mean honestly you could be like the Mess erm Mets, but you have guys that can hit.
Yeah, they have guys who can hit, if you exclude varitek, ortiz, bay, lowrie, green...
when does football and hockey season start again?

agreed. he should have hung them up last year. he sucks and is finished, but no, smoltz has a bloated ego and decided that the braves were wrong, and look at him now. looks like wren and js were right. smoltz has nothing left.
you're quitting already? aren't the red sox in a playoff spot?
Really is a shame...I enjoyed watching the Brave's "Big Three" growing up. I wasn't a Braves fan but those guys could pitch.
At least Maddux knew when it was time to go while Glavine and Smoltz are/were still hanging on.
I don't know about the Red Sox though. I just don't count them out until the last out and won't count them out until they are statistically eliminated from the playoffs or are eliminated in X round (I honestly believe the wild-card will come from the AL East).
They do look much more vulnerable this year than previous years with Ortiz slumping, Papelbon making it interesting each time and Lowell hurt. For all his drama, Manny made them a more potent team. I know Bay made the Red Sox forget about "Mannywood" but to think Bay = Manny is foolish.
And that coming from a Yankee girl.

A-Rod apologized for taking steroids.
Ortiz apologized for taking vitamins and MLB has a rep sitting next to him and giving an explanation.

It's time to get the brooms out.
Very reminiscent of 2006 when the Yankees came into Fenway and swept the Sox in August essentially ending their season. That was the year Manny decided to pack it in the end of July. Ortiz is dropping off quicker than Mo Vaughn did. I’d like to see him at least try and hustle down to first on some grounders. Seems like he’s more interested in his new restaurant than baseball.. Bucholz didn’t pitch that bad,but some run support would have been nice. Especially for a young pitcher. The Sox are batting .083 with runners in scoring position. I don’t care who your roatation is,you’re not going to win many games without run support. If the Sox fall too far behind, they don’t have the horses this year to get back into the race. And I don’t see the Yankees having an extended losing streak. They’ll have to get beat head to head. At this point,it’s going to be a struggle just for the wild card. The Sox still have two more series against the NYY and two against the Rays. Their bats need to wake up and fast..If the Sox get swept,it will be standing room only on the Tobin Bridge tomorrow morning…
The Yankees had to win 3 this series and I was sure they would take 2. I didn't think it would be this easy. I was expecting a classic show down and aside from Fridays pitching duel the Red Sox really haven't shown up at all. Youk in left field is going to be a nightmare if left to continue. The Red Sox are the old Yankee team a few years ago. A lot of aging talent and a load of injuries. Tampa is starting to gather steam and the Rangers are not going to give up a Wild Card shot either.
Not showing up is an understatement. No runs in 24 innings? Tampa always seems to finish strong and seem to own the Sox in Tampa. Rangers will be solid down the stretch. Sports radio has been great entertainment over the weekend here. With a loss tonight,it will be in overdrive..Tho I must admit,I do love watching all the "pink hats" jump ship and squirm. I'm in it strictly for the schadenfreude...

that was A-Rod's choice. he could have used this same story that Ortiz used. but Roberts was all over him and he just lashed out which was a bad idea. Ortiz handled it right and A-Rod didnt.
A-Rod actually admitted to using. Ortiz still didn't say what he used. He said he "didn't know what it was" I don't buy that. You always know what you are putting in your body. I don't think he used steroids but his story also doesn't really wash either. He knew what he was taking.
very true and i also think its a little fishy he said he wanted to wait to see what he was accused of taking before he said what he was taking. that always didnt sit with me right. why didnt he just give this "vitamin spiked with nandrolone" explination when the story first broke?
Ortiz did handle this a lot better than A-Rod did. yes, eventually A-Rod came out and told the truth and im glad he did. but the whole debacle with Selena Roberts was just ridiculous.
