Manny and Ortiz will probably both hit 40+ homers so that is 80 or so homers between the 2 of them. I am sure a few other guys will be up around 25-30 homers then some themselves so I really do not see them needing another bat. When Wily Mo comes back from the DL they will have to come off the bench and he can provide some power so I think that is the least of the Red Sox worries. The offense is not the problem, it is the inconsistant starting pitching and a few of the relievers.

You could say that about the Jays too though. The Jay's bats are obviously there, if their pitching is more consistant they'd be first in the AL by a long shot. Letting Josh Towers lose that many games was fucking ridiculous. BJ Ryan is a monster and once Burnett comes back as well as a healthy Chacin, the Jays can seriously win this division.

**FakeLaser** · 05-30-2006, 06:10 PM

and Randy Johnson finally pitches a decent game.

**Joey Slugs** · 05-30-2006, 06:34 PM

Clemens to rejoin the Astros; GM and Agent deny early reports.

**BCWWF** · 05-30-2006, 06:44 PM

No, the Sox have turned out to be a really solid team this year. Mike Lowell is doing really well as is Loretta and some other guys. They will make some good moves when they need to, maybe go after another starting pitcher or get some bullpen guys like they did a few years ago, but right now the clash of the Sox in the ALCS looks good.

**The Miz** · 05-30-2006, 07:05 PM

Just a matter of time before Clemens to Houston becomes official. The guy missed 2 months and is still going to make $14 mil this year. Wow

**BCWWF** · 05-30-2006, 11:11 PM

Yeah, but you dated a nudist

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 05-30-2006, 11:19 PM

Just heard that deal with the 'Stros isn't happening or something, dunno if that means it is off for good or what. Maybe he'll come to the Red Sox haha..wishful thinking I guess

**BCWWF** · 05-30-2006, 11:25 PM

Really though, rumors like that will fly in Boston until it is set in stone.

I heard today from a St. Louis fan (based on what he read in a Cards message board) that the Cards were going to trade for Torii Hunter and that the Yankees already rejected an offer of Torii for Cano and Wang. Seriously, why would the Twins trade for a second baseman and fifth starter?

LOL

I read it on CBSSportsline.com

Had nothing to do with Boston at all

**The Miz** · 05-30-2006, 11:57 PM

Damn, I was getting ready to type "Chris Young is taking a no-no into the 8th" when Brad Hawpe doubled

**The Miz** · 05-31-2006, 12:08 AM

Nobody fucks with (David) DeJesus

**FakeLaser** · 05-31-2006, 12:10 AM

Fuck, of course I didn't start Chris Young tonight.

**The Miz** · 05-31-2006, 02:07 AM

lol @ the collection of jobbers fucking up everything in the A's bullpen

Matt Roney
Steve Karsay
Ron Flores
Randy Keisler

Who are these goons?

**BCWWF** · 05-31-2006, 05:03 AM

I have a DeJesus tee shirt. When the Royals give out free tee shirts, they give out 20,000 of them. About 20,000 people show up on those days as well.

05-31-2006, 09:38 AM

Wow, Wells and Glaus were amazing. Jays continue to feist on Sox pitching. I guess the Sox are starting a pitcher called up from Double A today. lol should be interesting.

The Jays score big against the RSOX starters, but then get virtually shut out by the RSOX bullpen. Boston makes a comeback, but then fall short.

Been 2 good games to watch... if you're a Jays fan.

**Joey Slugs** · 05-31-2006, 12:09 PM

Roger Clemens will be back in an Astros uniform this summer. The Rocket, 43, has agreed to a four-month deal, unretiring for a third time and returning to Houston, where the seven-time Cy Young winner pitched the last two seasons. Story

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 05-31-2006, 12:45 PM

22 Mil? God damn

If the 'Stros can spend 22 millon on one guy who has already missed sometime, why don't they use that money in other areas in other situations?

**Joey Slugs** · 05-31-2006, 12:47 PM

he's "only" gettting payed $13 Million

**The Miz** · 05-31-2006, 02:38 PM

Royals fire GM Allard Baird. Who would've thought, with all these brilliant FO moves:

Royals get:
Mike Wood
Mark Teahen

Astros get:
Carlos Beltran

-------------

Royals get:
Alan Moye
Damaso Espino

Reds get:
Brian Shackelford

-------------

Royals get:
Neifi Perez

Rockies get:
Jermaine Dye

-------------

Royals get:
Angel Berroa
A.J. Hinch

A's get:
Johnny Damon
Mark Ellis

-------------

Royals get:
Brian Meadows

Padres get:
Jay Witasick

**BCWWF** · 05-31-2006, 05:03 PM

Hey, they also got John Buck in the Beltran trade

**The Miz** · 05-31-2006, 05:05 PM

Rangers get:
2B/OF Jerry Hairston Jr.

Cubs get:
1B/OF Phil Nevin

Should be interesting to see what the Cubs will do with Nevin. They'll probably platoon him with Todd Walker at first, but I think they should let him be the regular 1B and move Walker back to 2B. When Derrek Lee gets back though he's going to have nothing to do.

**The Miz** · 05-31-2006, 05:48 PM

OMFG JASON KENDALL JUST HIT A HOME RUN

**FakeLaser** · 05-31-2006, 07:00 PM

I like that deal for the Rangers. I hope Hariston doesn't beat out Kinsler for the job at 2nd though.

**YOUR Hero** · 05-31-2006, 07:03 PM

An inside the park-er?

**OssMan** · 05-31-2006, 07:18 PM

Here's how the AL allstar team is looking

position, starter, backup

C Varitek, Ivan Rodriguez
1B Ortiz, Giambi
2B Cano, Loretta
SS Jeter, Tejada
3B A-Rod, Lowell
LF Manny Ramirez
CF Damon
RF Vlad, Sheffield

WOOOO!

**FakeLaser** · 05-31-2006, 07:19 PM

Well, at least they'll try extra hard for that home field advantage.

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 05-31-2006, 08:09 PM

lol all Yankees and Red Sox, that is just the fan voting though. The back ups are picked by the coach right?

**Evil Vito** · 05-31-2006, 08:13 PM

Yeah, the coaches select the backups

For some reason I can see Ozzie just benching all the Yanks/Sox starters after the 1st inning

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 05-31-2006, 08:22 PM

Even tho it is dominated by Red Sox players and I am a Red Sox fan, the fan voting is pretty stupid. Red Sox and Yankees obviously have the most fans in baseball so it isn't really fair at all.

**The Miz** · 05-31-2006, 09:56 PM

AL All-Star team should be

C Joe Mauer
1B Jason Giambi
2B Jose Lopez
3B Troy Glaus
SS Derek Jeter
OF Alex Rios
OF Nick Swisher
OF Vernon Wells
DH Jim Thome

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 05-31-2006, 09:59 PM

A lot of good 3rd basemen putting up some great stats in the AL this year.

**Dragon** · 05-31-2006, 11:09 PM

Moose pitches a great game for the Yanks.

Has a complete game, giving up one unearned run in the 9th. Definitely something the bullpen needed because its been worked to death lately.

**Dragon** · 05-31-2006, 11:10 PM

Need to win one more tomorrow to complete the 4-game sweep of the Tigers but going up against Verlander so it should be interesting.

**The Miz** · 05-31-2006, 11:14 PM

lol anyone see Shawn Green get picked off 2nd by Reyes in the 10th or whatever. That guy invents new ways to fuck up

**YOUR Hero** · 05-31-2006, 11:41 PM

Shawn Green was the man when he played for Toronto. What's going on with him
