Bummer. Feels like Fister is being ...er, I was going to say "fisted" to death but
that sounds terrible. He’s being BABIP’d to death?
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
But that was good!
Instead of fisted he gets a DP!
Er… damnit.

Why is it OK to pronounce BABIP as if it were a word (bah-bip) but not OPS (opps)?

Stylistically, you’re only supposed to phonetically say acronyms if you would write them as a normal word. You can say scuba and sonar, but FDIC is never written as just another word. Babip doesn’t work that way, so it’s not really okay to say it phonetically.

Is there any stat that’s said phonetically? Maybe WHIP? Why would we do that with any other stat.

a ram
has shitty defense and will possibly get worse defensively, being so bad he has to play 1st base at which point he won’t be worth his contract.

“Productive third baseman” is quickly becoming an oxymoron so you might as well just run Juan Uribe out there and make fun of A-Rods contract.

•If the Red Sox believe that third base prospect Will Middlebrooks is ready for primetime, then Kevin Youkilis might become expendable for them. If that’s the case, then the Rockies would have interest, writes Troy Renck of The Denver Post (via Twitter).
ignoring the Rockies, how about this here idear?

Middlebrooks doesn’t really seem like the sort of prospect you’re willing to trade Kevin Youkilis to open a spot for, unless a) they need to free up payroll, or b) they think he’s regressing instead of simply having a subpar (for him) season. Middlebrooks looks a bit too much like Shea Hillenbrand for my comfort.
their loss

If we're quick
maybe we can trade Sellers for Youk before Theo leaves. Dude has a fetish for shitty shortstops.
I’d have to know more about Youk’s injury to say for sure but he hit a lot more flyballs this year which is gonna mean more dingers, but will drive down his average.
Problem is that the Red Sox are gonna want something that can help immediately, and the only thing that qualifies is something like Dee Gordon and maybe reliever to go with that. Without Gordon, your shortstop hole is just as big as the third base hole and I don’t think we can spend our way to a replacement. I think I’d do it because I have a low opinion of Dee and think we’d be selling high but I can see why you wouldn’t want to.

According to one source, final contract details were in the process of being worked out Tuesday night and the only other detail, albeit an important one, was the compensation the Red Sox would receive from the Cubs.
Do the sox need to be compensated because Theo is still under contract?

The thing about legal documents
I just skimmed the 80 page document filed by the Dodgers. It makes some good arguments that I will be interested to hear how MLB responds.
Now, the basic one seems to be, MLB, you knew or should have known what was going on, we told you and you approved. Now, you want to kick me out without going through the processes you have in place.
And this is where it gets sticky, surely MLB is riding on the McCourts took this money, etc. but if I am Court, I ask them, did you approve of how the Dodgers organized their assets, did you see their audited financial statements on an ongoing basis, and how is MLB damaged if the Dodgers sell their rights now?

There’s no team left that really pulls in ratings so unless each series gets to 6 or 7 games Fox and TBS are gonna take a beating.
Day games just make a bad situation worse but there’s no way around it with two networks splitting it up.
Yankees/Tigers Game 5 did 9.7 million viewers in a night game. But, the Yankees are gone. The World Series might struggle to hit that number the first 4 games.
I’m just wondering if these games collectively would pull bigger numbers if they were up against each other in primetime (but still in primetime)…instead of being split day/night.

Of course Blu-ray IS high-def DVD, but I know what you mean.
When I was at GC it was a decision point, whether to invest in both or one (which meant guessing), when they were both competing. So we just bought a few of each and saw how they did. Then when BR “won” invested in more of those. It was like VHS vs Beta all over again, except in this case both formats were very close to the same.

On a less serious front, this Boston Globe article on the Red Sox is pretty insane.
Instead, Boston’s three elite starters went soft, their pitching as anemic as their work ethic. The indifference of Beckett, Lester, and Lackey in a time of crisis can be seen in what team sources say became their habit of drinking beer, eating fast-food fried chicken, and playing video games in the clubhouse during games while their teammates tried to salvage a once-promising season.
.
The story of Boston’s lost September unfolds in part as an indictment of the three prized starters. But the epic flop of 2011 had many faces: a lame-duck manager, coping with personal issues, whose team partly tuned him out; stars who failed to lead; players who turned lackluster and self-interested; a general manager responsible for fruitless roster decisions; owners who approved unrewarding free agent spending and missed some warning signs that their $161 million club was deteriorating.

I’m not sure what is my favorite part. But this is in the running:
Drinking beer in the Sox clubhouse is permissible. So is ordering take-out chicken and biscuits. Playing video games on one of the clubhouse’s flat-screen televisions is OK, too. But for the Sox pitching trio to do all three during games, rather than show solidarity with their teammates in the dugout, violated an unwritten rule that players support each other, especially in times of crisis.
.
Sources said Beckett, Lester, and Lackey, who were joined at times by Buchholz, began the practice late in 2010. The pitchers not only continued the routine this year, sources said, but they joined a number of teammates in cutting back on their exercise regimens despite appeals from the team’s strength and conditioning coach Dave Page.

This article is full of shitty reporting goodness
As Hurricane Irene barreled toward Boston in late August, management proposed moving up the Sunday finale of a weekend series against Oakland so the teams could play a day-night doubleheader either Friday, Aug. 26, or Saturday, Aug. 27. The reasoning seemed sound: the teams would avoid a Sunday rainout and the dilemma of finding a mutual makeup date for teams separated by 2,700 miles.
But numerous Sox players angrily protested. They returned early that Friday from Texas after a demanding stretch in which they had played 14 of 17 games on the road, with additional stops in Minneapolis, Seattle, and Kansas City. The players accused management of caring more about making money than winning, which marked the first time the team’s top executives sensed serious trouble brewing in the clubhouse.
As it turned out, the Sox swept the Saturday doubleheader, but that stormy day marked the beginning of the end for the 2011 team.
Lookee here! I found the moment when It All Went Wrong: the day the Red Sox swept a double-header! JUST IMAGINE WHAT A SIGN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IF THEY’D LOST BOTH THOSE GAMES JUST IMAGINE JUST IMAGINE

As I said before, the article is very, very badly written.
But there is enough stuff in there to make a good story, if only a writer with any journalistic integrity had wrote it. Too bad those are in very short supply when it comes to writing about sports these days.
There is juicy stuff in there, I guess, but I still think the Sox collapse can be chalked up to shit happening. It’s no fun, and it’s not a great story.
But this is something that annoys me in my daily life, so maybe you can’t listen to me. People say “Everything happens for a reason.” I disagree entirely. It is my opinion that most of the time, things happen for no reason whatsoever. Until I get a better article, I’m gonna assume that the Sox collapse fits that latter category.

sounds like something that could have had a direct influince on a late season collapse.
Watch me all in flames, on a butterfly I ride
Except if they’d held on and won two more games, nobody would be talking about a collapse, or, if they were, they’d say how unorthodox strategies like cutting back their workouts led to a loose clubhouse and avoided ignominy.

their record was absolutely attrocious
their pitching was abysmal. Its not like they played OK and another team just played better, they where utterly shit.
Watch me all in flames, on a butterfly I ride
Yeah. They were. It happens. It might have been avoided if they’d made some different moves down the stretch, just like the Phillies’ and Mets’ (and Dodgers’!) famous collapses in years past probably could have been avoided if different little tweaky moves had been made here and there.
But I find it hard to believe that something changed between August 31 and September 1. The team started playing shitty — just like they played in April. That is who they were, a team that sometimes clicked like the best team in baseball and others couldn’t win a game to save their lives. Did they suddenly start drinking beer, eating fried chicken, and playing video games more in September than they did in May, June, July, and August? If not, why is that the cause for their poor play?
I do believe that leadership means something, but this article attributes leadership to some things that I think mean nothing and it claims they mean everything.

you are focusing on the beer and chicken
I’m focusing on the last year+ of them cutting back their workouts which could leave them in worse shape to wear a very long season and cause them to be less capable of lasting the entire season, thus causing them to play poorer in September. Its not the whole reason, but if you think players cutting back their conditioning isn’t news in sports, I don’t know what to tell you.

when your strength and conditioning coach thinks its a problem
its not something just manufactured by the journalist
Watch me all in flames, on a butterfly I ride
No, but that bit — that several players slacked off their conditioning — is lost in a story that discusses beer and chicken, alleges that Terry Francona has a drug problem and is consumed by concerns for his family’s safety, calls Adrian Gonzalez a whiny crybaby, calls Jason Varitek the same, says Ortiz and Youkilis had basically checked out, and, weirdly, calls out Tim Wakefield for making his starts.
The point of this article is not to make news or try to figure out why the Red Sox collapses. The point of this article is to chronicle the second guessing and finger pointing. There may be a real reason for the collapse in there, but the reporter didn’t do the heavy lifting of objective reporting to find it. He called people and wrote down what they said, and printed it in the paper.

its basically a plaschke piece
bunch of stupid narratives to make you think they were the cause for their failure.
I re-read the piece. I think that it has some good reporting but the reporter got spun by a few people about what the Real Cause of the Collapse was. Playing up moments (like what you quoted) that really weren’t all that important.
If I was writing the piece, I would have looked at the lack of work ethic more than random player insurrection stuff.
Also, I can’t help but think that if the pitchers were not in the dugout all season and instead drunkenly playing Mario Kart, the writers would have heard about it — and should have wrote about it then.
Sports journalism is weird.

"We play too many night games on getaway days and get into places at 4 in the morning,’’ Gonzalez complained. "This has been my toughest season physically because of that.’’
Blaming five stressful nights over a six-month season for a tough year smacked of the self-interest that is uncommon among leaders of championship-caliber teams.
Yo, Adrian! I hear you’re gonna be around for six or sumpin’ or years! Well, guess what! FUCK YOU, that’s what! Haw haw haw haw! (pukes)

its like the writer never had a really shitty night of sleep
and then had trouble catching up for a couple days. Hell I’m doing that now and I don’t play sports, I sit at a desk all day.
Watch me all in flames, on a butterfly I ride
If you play a late game in the central time zone then have to head back to Boston for a game the next day, that’s less sleep. Don’t have to worry about that in San Diego, right?
Or am I fucking up the whole time zone thing?
I do think that Gonzalez’s complaint is BS, but just thinking outside the box here. Because I like being the devil’s advocate.
At first I thought he was complaining about night games in Boston before a road trip, but I can imagine teams not wanting to schedule Boston (and the Yankees) for day games since they get a nice gate boost from them. San Diego on a getaway day, day game not such a big deal.
That said, I bet Boston travels a heck of lot less miles in a season than San Diego.

I’m not sure why, but I’m going to stand up for the writer(s) of this article. It doesn’t specifically choose a scapegoat (or, for that matter, scapegoats), but speaks to the point that the problems cannot simply be solved by dumping Tito, or Theo, or one or two problem players. The rhetoric is low-key, even though there is some regrettable adjective usage. The main problem I’d have is that the article’s thesis would be “There’s plenty of blame to go around. Except Dustin Pedroia, he’s wicked great!”
"It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great."
I’ve got to go to bed, but I’ll be interested to see where this thread goes in the morning. You know where I stand:
the problems cannot simply be solved by dumping Tito, or Theo, or one or two problem players.
Unless it’s just something that happened. Yes, I know the Sox’s collapse is historically bad, but I still think that if the Red Sox had won an insignificant number of games more than they did, nobody would be talking about “the Red Sox problems,” and that it’s not exactly true that they played great all season only to collapse at the end. I still think that things happen for no reason. If you say that seeds were sown that were reaped in September, well, OK — but I stand by this: just because things didn’t go their way doesn’t mean that something meant wrong. It MIGHT mean that, but this article is a long way from showing that, in my opinion.

Number 5, is it such a regular thing that it has a name?
Number 6, when one of them is pitching do the other two guys still have the beer and chix fiesta
Number 7, are the other guys, pitchers who don’t join in, better people? not likers of Chicken, video games, and/or beer? or were they not invited?
