It sounds like you couldn't hit the fastball, was that your hitting problem?

I think my problem was when it was my turn to bat i'd hear from my own team thats the next out so i'd just go up and swing at anything just three straight swings then sit down once in a blue moon i'd get lucky and mange a hit

When I was coaching, I would bench any player -- even my best player -- for saying something like that, even if it was only whispered to someone else. What an outrage!

And they wonder why so many people suffer from low self-esteem any more. I was bullied in school and never really had much desire to play a game where the bullies would be on the same team as me.

What are The Sox trying to do with Lowell and his $12M after signing Beltre to play 3B for $10M?


Has anybody heard anything?

The conventional wisdom in Red Sox Nation regarding Mike Lowell is that since he has passed the "healthy threshold" in the off-season, once he demonstrates in Spring training that he can still move sufficiently well defensively he will be attractive enough for the Red Sox to secure the trade deal the team was unable to complete with the Rangers.

Beltre is a great acquisition, but Lowell will be sorely missed. He is a fan favorite, a genuinely good guy, and a tremendous clutch performer.

Thnx.

Will The Sox have to eat any of that $12M or will TEX pay it all?
