Change that to "Girardi", and you could be talking about my Yankees this time last year. It's freakin' May 3, for Kris'sakes! Anything can happen.

We get swept by the Orioles and then turn around and we sweep the Angels. Who can figure?
Hope we can keep up the good play against the Yankees this weekend. Should be an interesting series.

Looks like the BoSox were just what Tex needed to come out of his slump

Wow, It may be early but the Sox really look flat. Hell, Toronto looks better than they do.

Sigh ... lost 2 of 3 to the Evil Empire. Just when I hoped the Sox were coming out of their funk. Maybe we'll do better against the Jays.

Let's face it guys this team is not that good and will not make the playoffs.
The sad part it is not even June.

Though it's 'way too early to throw in the towel, you might be right. And it's not just the obvious things either. For instance, your Sox are at the top of the majors in allowing stolen bases, and at the bottom in stealing them yourselves.
One more brick in the monstrous wall you need to scale.

Can't give up on 'em yet, remember the Yankees started out slow last year. If the pitching gets hot, (which it should), we have a chance.

hey hey hey... where's the faith... remember the angels last year? started at 16-16 and went on to win 90+ games!
our pitching is starting to settle in... same will happen with our hitting...
keep in mind guys... we've been playing horrible and still above .500 (granted its by 1 game)... that's with early injuries... beckett and lester not showing up yet... dice-k getting better...

Lester has shown up, and with a vengeance. He's been almost untouchable his last three starts. Beckett is completely off the rails though, really gotta wonder what is going with him. Matsuzaka had a good start on Tuesday, and even Wake was good yesterday, just didn't get any run support. Lackey has also been good. Where we are lacking is in the hitting department. We need Ellsbury back, and if they are serious about a playoff run this fall, they will need to sit Ortiz for Lowell, and either hope Cameron starts hitting well or trade for a bat in the outfield.

Theo's run prevention is a bunch of crap.
Cameron just plain Suxs, the Brewers let him go, and Beltre for the best third baseman in baseball has a boat load of errors and would have at least a dozen more if not for hometown score keepers?
I think Tampa and the Yanks are just to strong in the AL East?

What a turn around, playing like crap for a month, to the hottest team in baseball.
The pitching has finely kicked in, they got to keep it up and beat up on the bad teams on this home stand.

Yeah, hell of a road trip. Hopefully KC won't be too much trouble.
Still down on Beltre? He had a pretty good game last night

Gotta say, while I certainly expected them to do better than last time we saw you guys, that was much better than anticipated. Especially Crawford and Maddon getting ejected the other night
:-) you guys still have a few games on us and on the yanks, so don't despair. You can still take the wild card
