Mad Sox fans

The Couch Potato: I am disgusted with [Beckett] because a pitcher with his talent has no business sucking this bad:

... Perhaps the Sox should start fining Beckett for every trip to the mound his catcher has to make to "get on the same page" with him. If Beckett thinks he can call a better game than his veteran catchers, maybe he should consider becoming one himself. Someone who throws a fastball that hard with no movement could probably really gun 'em down at second.

Jose Melendez keys in on Beckett's performance to date:

... Beckett was supposed to be the Golden Boy, the successor to Clemens and Pedro, or at least the successor to Curt Euro. Instead, he's looked more like the successor to John Wasdin. Actually, that comparison may be unfair ... to Wasdin.

Kristen: Jesus. He seriously hasn't won a game since Dave Matthews played Fenway:

... Mike Lowell, however, can stay. ...

Red discusses the decision to send Manny home in the eighth and sees a pattern in Rudy Seanez's outings:

... Where Rudy Seanez is concerned, is the standard operating procedure to simply let him stay in the game until he gives up a couple runs, then take him out? It has to be. Seriously, his appearances have become as predicatble as an episode of Charles in Charge. ...
