One quibble: Dice-K goes “waaaaaay over his limit” and he’s being thrown to the wolves. But it’s “all hands on deck” for Buchholz despite his shoulder weakness?

I attend one game in 10 years and it’s “me and my big bucks” are keeping Theo safe? Oh, I think it’s more than just that!

Is shut up one word or two?

He’s getting thrown to the wolves because over the past month he has obviously pitched waaaaaay over his limit coming from a 132 game, every 6 day rotation season in Japan. This was pointed out by everyone when he first arrived. All we hear about is the 250 pitch high school game he was in.

The Yankees shut down Mussina for a couple of turns in the rotation when he first started experiencing the kind of dead arm that Dice-k was showing. Red Sox management never extended that kind of intelligence or care. They just kept running him out there to face the kind of uninformed criticism that fans like you generate — nitwits who don’t know much and can’t read. Your comments about dice-k seem to indicate that you’re the kind of fan your son was talking about.

Bucholtz: When you have a shot at getting to the World Serious, all hands on deck. “jeopardize his career?????!!!!!” You have got to be f—ing kidding me, Gary. They used him when they needed him before, albeit sparingly. Well, they need him again, sparingly. And I’d rather have Tavarez on the ALCS roster than Gagme being pushed down my throat. Management can’t seem to accept the fact that they made a disastrous deal, always hoping for the big save so they can say “See, we were right.” But as long as they have you and your big bucks in the stands, I guess they are safe, Gary. Have another hotdog and shutup.

Better to blame Dice-k for their failures than try to help him out. Even though he makes 50 million plus, he’s still a human being, Gary. Start thinking about who and what you support. Lucky Larry and Theo the Snake are the ones who assembled a team where the 2-3-4 hitters are 17 for 41 (.415) with 4 homers and 9 runs batted in and the remaining players are 20 for 104 (.192) with 2 homers and 12 R.B.I.

Go Sawks, hey Gary? Duh.

As for Manny?? haha well we all know Manny in these parts of the woods but I am wondering what others around the Country are thinking right now as they hear him speak. I already know what they think of him standing and watching is homerun that brought us within …………. 4! haha!

Bill, I know being at that series isn’t as exciting as covering us in the World Series, ah….. the good ole days

He’s getting $100 million and management expects him to pitch in the playoffs. How is that “getting thrown to the wolves”?

Buchholz is being counted on to be a big part of Red Sox pitching for the next decade. If you were part of management, knowing that there is weakness in his shoulder, would you throw him anyway and jeopardize his career?

My son and I were at Game 2, our first trip to Fenway in over 10 years, and while it was a thrilling night, one comment from my son (who is a college pitcher) stuck with me (and it came while Schilling was struggling and the fans were getting “impatient”): “Boy, they turn on ‘em fast around here, don’t they?”

did you see that burt?

i feel sorry for dice k; he’s really been thrown to the wolves by management.

i wrote earlier that that pitching would sink the sox and the only way out was having bucholtz ready. he’s not even on the roster and jacoby ellsbury has only been used for pinch running.

five and out…can we finally get rid of theo and lucky larry?
