The last game I've been to and it was something to see RJ in trouble and 55 thousand people chant "We Want Small". None louder than me Oct. 7, 2005, when John Flaherty caught Randy Johnson.

Any way, Jorge played a crappy game last night, didn't he? One of the worst I've seen him play. But, Jorge needs to start, no matter the pitcher. Girardi KISS - keep it simple stupid.

My fifth grade teacher, a Mets fan, brought a tabletop set to school in October '73 so we could listen to the first few innings of the weekday NLCS and World Series games. The school made her stop after game 2 of the WS. Sheesh. “you had to play hooky to see the World Series on TV.

Jorge deserves a lot more credit than you chumps are giving him this year. Yeah he had 2 passed balls but CC did have a monster performance last night. If he had pitched poorly it would have been Posada's fault but if he pitches well he gets no credit. The bottom line is that it's silly either way. Jorge typically plays solid defense and has thrown out the same % as Molina this season. Compare his batting average v Molina and it's no contest who is the better player. Molina has been huge for us the past 2 seasons and I'm all for Joe putting him in if he thinks that's best for the team, but you guys all need to get off of Jorge's jock and chill with the hating. The Sox could use a few more fans and Pete a few more commentors if that's your style.
