I hate Joe Morgan.

Honestly guys…the goat definitely goes to Lopez but even if we lose I’m not that devastated. We’d still be four games ahead but what devastates me are the Rays and their gap.
In comes Paps…
I don’t understand this move at all given what Oki just did.
IMO, Goat of the Game is Manny Ramirez who obviously was rebelling against Tito for putting him in the game on his off-day.
MR- who did you trade Drew for?
Come on Pap Come on
Fuck.
Fucking A
All Star: Jon Papelbon
What a waste.
Pap needs to find his splitter asap, it’s been fking him over this season.
Wow Paps…like Beckett and Oki your performance has been questionable as of late.
Oh well…split series.
I hope the Sox shake of the chaff at the end of this lineup soon.
Shake it off..
Big series vs. Minnesota. We need to sweep.
Once again, if Manny had woken up during his at-bat, we might have been watching a different ending.
Who does NY play anyway?
Out of this series I can figure out what our problems are already:
1. LOBs
2. Bullpen
3. Questionable starters/closers
4. Lazy bats (Lugo/Tek)
5. Manny needs to care again.
6. Ortiz needs to come back.

Papelbon is a lot more human than he was last year.
And Okajima.
And 2nd half Delcarmen.
And……well everyone. We need help in the bullpen and quick.
I still think we’ll win the Wild Card, at least. Probably 25% for the division (5 GB ehhh) but still hope. Keep the faith.
Maybe like the Yanks of 2007, the All-Star Game will help us figure out how to fix shit up.
@Steven-
Drew + Lidge for Aramis Ramirez + Lincecum.
Met needs for both teams, sell high for each of us in some ways. I’ve got saves pretty well locked but need k/9 and corner infield.
@the world
Lugo would never have touched the game winning grounder if it hadn’t meant possibly keeping the runner at third. God bless Mr. F-lugo.
Too many goats last night. BTW, I will be out of country for a week+. When I return, I expect to find either Hanley or Jed Lowrie at SS, and Street or Fuentes and Zinc in the BP, and Masterson back in AAA getting the training he needs, and Buchholz back in the rotation trying to figure out which set of mechanics work best, his own or Hurst’s, and Carter in LF to see if he can replace Manny if he walks.
