Oh no I don't mean now, I mean before the trades.
That's personally why I liked them, not going to win a thing anyways...but now we one of the, if not the deepest pool of pitching prospects out there. Draft seems to be loaded up with pitchers as well.
If they didn't lose those Jays games, they would have kept Lester, adding to the roster like Farrell said and I think they would have gotten the wildcard spot.
But alas~ here we are. All I know is they better get Lester back. They don't want to sign him long because of the possibility he will regress in his 30's. Yet. The pitchers available next year aren't ones to get excited about. Say we sign Shields for like...3 years. He's already what? 33. So instead of resigning a healthy and dominant Leste because of age concerns. You'll go after Shields who will be the age where you'd be concerned for Lester. It doesn't make sense. Adding Shields to the staff would be nice. But he's no Lester. And without him? We have a sad staff.
We've got rooks waiting in the wings, yes. But I think we're asking too much to think they'll have success right out of the gate, or be dominant.
Clay looks awful. I don't know what's wrong with him but yikes! Don't think he's hurt. But he's giving me flashbacks to Bard. It hurts by eyes!

I'm happy to make moves to get better but I would have kept our #1 and #2 pitchers in tact. Always nice going into a season with that as a certainty. Spots 3, 4, and 5 should be for our prospects.
Haha well luckily it's August 4th, not April 4th. Long long winter ahead to address that issue. A few pretty good pitchers hitting the market, plus of course always the potential for trades.

Back when he was on the team, the Sox had a bat boy that looked exactly like Shea Hillenbrand and it was always funny.
My nephew literally cried for 2-3 hours when that Shea trade was announced.
Granted he was 9 years old, but still.

My guess is that the zenith of the Shea Hillenbrand experience in Boston took place on this day.

I wonder how many Hillenbrand jersey t-shirts were purchased between that date and the 2002 all-star game?

His wikipedia page is like a tribute to being a massive whining dbag.
Actually, it used to be worse. Looks like it was cleaned up.
