Boston chasing Baltimore in packing the 'pen

Boston's pen has a lot of potential, that's for sure. But I think the team is still a starter short, and wonder if Lester will ever regain his form of a few years back.

I still think all five AL East teams could win between 88-95 games this year.

That bullpen will be taxed quickly if they can't more than 5-6 innings out of their starters.

Gotta get to the 7th and/or 8th innings with a lead before the relievers can potentially make a difference.

freaking Bishop... beat me to the draw... (grumble, grumble , piss and moan)

Use Lackey everyday in the 5th & 6th until his arm fall off and then pack him in ice and ship him back to California with a load of chicken and brewskis.

Have some bacon!!!!

Getting some arms (just about any arms) for the bull pen would help BOS. Of course - the Offense had to consistently catch up because of the starters.... so who knows...

I was told that "packing the pen" was HTG talk

Hate That Guy?

Honest To God?

An abbreviation for "The Hand That Guides" a shadowy paramilitary organisation whose very existence is disputed. It reportedly governs all major events around the world and is believed to be made up of four incredibly powerful men known by their current psuedonym's as "Laslo, Ponzo, Scout and Rupe"?

The urban dictionary, like I, am confulsed.

Actually - I learned what it meant last week. It is a euphemism - for FN only. "Has The ****"..... It was started by The PK and has stuck here on FN only.

Later all - the overseers are here in force and even the accepted expression (by those that practice it) of the life style has been unceremoniously removed.

Lester needs to get in shape and stop pissing and moaning at the umps and his own teammates when things don't go his way. I hope John Farrell can straighten him out.
