Josh Beckett is very overrated in my book. How can a guy with this talent have an ERA of 5.00? He also has given up 31 HRS. Yes sometimes pitchers with good control (bert blyleven) give up a lot of HRs but 31. This guy does not know how to pitch. He just says hit my 95-97 MPH fastball and in the NL that is okay.
This year his interleague games he is 4-0 with a 2.73 ERA his
AL only numbers are 9-6 with an ERA of 5.63
he also has given up 26 of his 31 HRS to the AL. If you are a Sox fan this is Alarming with games left against NL (ERA of 10.80) and Toronto (ERA of 6.38)
With all the hype around him coming into this year I expected WAY more from this guy. More starts like last night and the Sox will be watching NY, DET and Chic in the playoffs.
I feel he has the ability to turn it around but He has to in a hurry. The Sox have 6 games at Tampa and KC. They better win at least 4 of these games or it will be even harder to catch the Yanks if at all.
Just for one year I would like to see them win the AL East (not since 1995). Yes 2004 was awesome via the Wild Card, but I want to see some better pitching.
Javy Lopez is a good pickup, but a 4th or 5th starter is more of what this team needs now.NHL Blog at:NHL Blog by Medford Bronco!

Give him time to get used to the AL, geez.
You don't honestly expect him to just come in and dominate do you?
Give him time, Curt will be working with him and he'll get the hang of it I'm going to say at least by the playoffs.

What does that mean when Varitek recovers? And this pretty much confirms that the Sox are in for a back to back performencs. (sox are my third favorite team, about where i stop caring about teams)
Javy Lopez to the SoxClub Leader: Robert Griffin III > Andrew Luck
^^^Get used to it.^^^

Ortiz came up big tonight. 2 HR's, including what proved to be the game-winner.
Schilling allowed 2 HR's, no big deal over 7 innings in the 3-2 win. Schilling is 14-4 and lowered his ERA to 3.78 (very respectable for the AL).
Mirabelli was hurt, but it doesn't sound serious:

I think it means we will trade him for a pitcher possibly.

Originally posted by LbloodOjunkieGI don't understand. The trade deadline has passed, yet they trade for Lopez?
Trades can still be made, but players must be placed on waivers. If a player is claimed on waivers, he can either be traded to the team that claims him or he can be pulled off waivers. Sometimes players are placed on waivers just to gauge possible offseason trade interest. If a player passes through waivers, he can be traded to any team.
Players traded after the deadline aren't eligible for postseason play unless another player (at their position ?? I believe that's the case) is placed on the DL.
