I aslo think that Scott Downs should be DFA'd ASAP. Maybe Webb ought to be sent back to AAA to regain some control. I would hate to give up on that live arm, but if he can't throw strikes, it doesn't matter how hard he throws. SMO ![]()

Meanwhile Dan Hayes is tweeting that Scott Downs was hugging teammates and two guys came up to him and said "happy trails." No official word but it looks like he was released, a bit like Ohman in 2012.

I saw the Hayes tweet too. It's the right call. Scott Downs had a nice career. He just doesn't have it anymore. I'm sure some bullpen hungry team will sign him because he is a veteran left hander and left handers get 15 chances to prove they can't pitch anymore. I wonder if Surkamp will get the call?

Still, frustrating that we're over 250 games into Flowers career and there's no real to apparently find someone better than him.

Horrible baserunning by Dunn. Horrible, make that nonexistent, situational hitting by Beckham. Horrible catching by Flowers.
Ventura's teams are the dumbest in my lifetime. |

Agree - they lack talent but aren't near the least talented in the last 20 years. The 2007 team had far less talent than either 13 or 14 and managed to win 70 games.

Hey, this team has three All-Stars. How many Sox teams have had at least three All-Stars?

The '07 team had 6 of 9 everyday starters and 3 of 5 SP from back-to-back 90-win seasons with a World Series in there for good measure

The starters were okay but Contreras was awful that year and no one as good as Quintana or Sale. |

Well my theory is this; if your bullpen sucks, and you actually have a pitcher in there that is getting guys out, LEAVE HIM IN. Don't bring in a walk machine with one of the, if not THE, league leading HR and RBI guys up next. then you have to bring in ANOTHER pitcher cold to face him. A different pitcher for 3 consecutive batters? That's horse****.
