Dice-K walking the leadoff guy to start every game is pretty much standard as the National Anthem and Cracker Jacks at this point.
edit: Make that three first inning walks. Oh Lawd...

why the fuk would you put our 3r best power hitter leading off? You may as well suggest ortiz leading off and Lester batting cleanup.
Beltre is a power hitter and should bat somewhere in the 3-6 part of the lineup. Thinking he should leadoff is borderline retarded.
You think Petey will be out 11 days? He broke his foot. He isn't gonna see the field until August or September

I know it sounds drastic, but think of it this way. He has what 12 HRs, thats what I said would be put to waste. But, we need someone with a high BA up top. Didn't Pedroia have better power numbers than Beltre too. Wouldn't it make more sense to bat the guy hitting for a better average in the beginning of a line up where he can get things started, too? I don't want to know Nava's stats since batting 2nd but I know they have been darn right pathetic.
He was taking his grounders yesterday(well wednesday noww.) on his knees. He was put on the 15 Day. It's been 4 days, and he's probably the most stubborn player you'll find. He'll find a way to play as soon as he can. It's only a broken foot not a torn ligament, it could keep a child down, but not a proffesional athlete. He will be back by the end of the All star break.

Just because you have a high OBP doesn't mea you should lead off. Power hitters typically have higher OBP because they get on base often. Should Barry Bonds have led off during his epic HR seasons? He had a stupid OBP.
No, Pedroia doesn't have better power numbers than Beltre. They may have the same # of HRs, but Pedey's is skewed by a 3 HR game and a huge first month.
And did you say "it's only a broken foot"? You do realize that's the part of the body that you put all your weight on, right? You make it seem like he's out for 8 weeks with a broken pinky.
If you think he will be back in 2 weeks you're out of your mind. It doesn't matter how stubborn he is, he's a multi million dollar investment on a billion dollar company. He's out for 8 weeks....I don't care that he was fielding grounders from his knees

Sadly, when the Sox don't make theplayoffs you'll hear morons come out and say "see, I told you they weren't going to be a good team this year!!" and fail to see a dozen injuries, most flukey, is what will be the end of this team.
If we were at full strength, we would be one of the best teams in the majors.

Have you seen the lineup we will be putting out there until a week or so after the ASB? We are going to play about 10-15 games with:
Scutaro SS
Nava LF
Youkilis 1B
Ortiz DH
Beltre 3B
Drew RF
Hall 2B
Cameron CF
Cash C
Nava an Cash aren't ML talent. Scutaro isn't a leadoff hitter...he should be batting 9th. Cameron is playing hurt, and playing pretty sh!tty, so he and McDonald (another non-ML talent) are platooning.
