    Forget the pitching their lineup is horrible as well. Big sloppy papi is FINISHED, Jd drew DONE, cameron is 40, hermida hr or nothing, Varitek worthless, Beltre, Billy hall........

    The only thing this team has above average is a nasty and possibly the best bullpen in mlb.......Pimplebags is a beast, Bard is the next big closer on the rise for some team, okawijiboards is probly a top 2 lefty reliever in mlb as well holding down the 7th inning now.

    Division is too tough. They should be happy if they win 85-86 games.

    yeah Lester and Beckett should be fine towards May-June, but offense will remain the big question... youk and pedrioa is the only reliable bats in this lineup...

    I'll bet that by the end of the year they are trading off all their remaining talent in order to begin 'rebuilding' next year.

    They are digging to much of hole early. It will be really hard to keep pace with the Yanks and Rays.

    I think theo will make a move to get a big bat. I can't see him staying with this shitty lineup...Boston fans don't allow losers anymore, and he knows that. Adrian Gonzalez + an outfielder should be good enough. ALSO keep in my Jacoby Ellsbury has been out, and although he isn't a stud, he definitely has an impact.

    when manny left the offense suffered, from then on - it isn't just happened. they couldn't score last year and got swept in the first round of the playoffs. ortiz lost his protection and all the juice got squeezed out. when they were winning they had those two guys mashing, best duo in the majors at the time. the team is different withot them and without schilling and pedro. all the other guys are good but those losses were huge and that is why. position for position the red sox have no chance in that division unless the rays and yankees have injuries. if not 3rd place would be a success, that is the reality. you can't make lemonade out of lemons i am sorry.

    They will be fine, you can never count them out...if cameron is out, that might be a big loss though

    They aren't fine. If they were playing in the NL West or some other division they would be, but they HAVE to get a bat to protect youk because nobody is afraid of ortiz anymore.

    I think last nights big come back win is just what they needed. I think they we go on a run now. But I agree.... Papi is done! Cut him loose. As well as Bill Hall, Cameron, and Drew. They need a whole new outfield... they probably should have kept Jason Bay even though he is struggling this year.

    yeah, they looked better against Texas. I'm going to keep them in the 'crappy' column until they continue to impress.

    Guys, it has been only 20 days since the season has started

    Isn't it too early to bash Red Sox? Ok, They get swept at home (in a 4-game Series!) by Rays but Rays were a very hot team.

    But if they lose 2 games vs Baltimore, then I may agree with you
