Daily Dose: June 1 - well, the Sox are ... mediocre..

| 1 Comment | No TrackBacks

Following a late victory tonight on the strength of solid pitching and, what else, a home run the Sox are 25-25 on the year.

Some people are excited, others aren't so much - at least judging by friends and the reaction on the radio. More people seemed concerned that "we can't dump Dwayne Wise and/or Brian Anderson and/or The Prancing Pony when Carlos Quentin comes back - what do we do?"

Whaddaya mean you can't dump D-Wise? Last I checked Wise is 31 years old and is hitting .180. I don't care if he's left handed or has slightly above average speed. Brian Anderson, at least, is 27, hitting respectably and plays a stellar outfield.

Sox fans whine and complain about the dumbest crap. Dwayne Wise? C'mon....

An oh by the way EDIT: This guy says its nearly impossible for the Sox to make it to the World Series this year...

They probably have to keep Wise even when Quentin comes off the DL.

Here's your AAA outfield in Charlotte:

LF: Josh Kroeger
CF: Miguel Negron
RF: Michael Restovich

If you think Wise is bad, you should see these jokers. What if they cut Wise and then Quentin and Pods both get hurt? WELCOME TO THE SHOW, MIGUEL NEGRON!!!!!! WHEEEEEEE!!!!!!

The Sox have no outfield depth at all. Kenny should take timeout from his pie-in-the-sky attempts to acquire Peavy and Oswalt and simply get us a decent fourth outfielder for cryin' out loud.
