Announcement: Red Sox Chickie has been far too busy stalking players between shifts and hasn't been able to write about it, so I'm afraid this site will be closing down soon.
Quick, Short and shockingly painful…kinda like me!!
Terry Francona: Incomplete, I’ll let you know what the grade is once he starts to manage.
Johnny Damon: B, B+ if he’d shave and get a haircut. I’ve run out of hairy missing link, captain caveman jokes.
Kevin Millar: B- He’s not doing as well as last year offensively but gets an A+ for use of hair as a cheerleading device.
Pedro: Jeri curls aside he gets a B+, but only since his arm hasn’t fallen off and said something stupid in the last month.
Manny: A, Not only is he hitting like a madman (knock on wood) but he’s become Mr. Personality with the press. Guess he finally figure out that whole bees with sugar thing.
Wakefield: A, Leave me alone, its my website and I’ll give him any grade I want!
Pokey: A, Pokey’s betta!
Nomar: Z, As in Zzzzzzzzz
Bellhorn: B-, For having mastered a blank star for nine innings.
Ortiz: A+, ‘Cause he’s an All Star, with his game on….
Veritek: B+, Would be higher but his average just isn’t up there but he’s due soon. Have I mentioned I will handcuff myself to Fenway if the owners let him go?
Lowe: Some days B+, some days D-
Folke: B, Hard to grade since he hasn’t had many save opportunities. But just remember “Folke You!”
Offense: B-, There’s room for improvement, keep hitting like they did in the last homestand and it shoots up to an A. It was the first time all season that I didn’t assume that with the bases loded and no outs we would manage to not score in the inning.
Defense: F, It’d be an F minus if it weren’t for Pokey. Could anyone tell me the ratio of errors at shortstop between Nomar and Pokey?
Overall: B, Would have been a C if it hadn’t been for the glimmer of life they showed in the last 6 games. They best show a freakin’ lazer show’s worth of glimmer in the second half if they want to make it to the playoffs.
