Let Crawford get his surgery he needs so he can come back in early 2013

Let Middlebrooks heal so he can do the same instead of trying to rush back for the end of this
season

Let Ortiz heal properly and have the rest of the season off.

Close the book on Dubrount too.

Too many injuries and too many pitching woes has swallowed our season up. I am content with letting the kids play the rest of the way. Going to be a long September with a few more empty seats than what we are used to seeing. Im ready to pick my horse for the playoffs and to root against the Skanks! Thanks to all the players filling in when you weren't expected to play! I applaud your efforts! Buccholz you have earned the title of ACE in my book!

Wow! That would crush us.

yup its time to face reality, I think its time to throw in the towel for this season. I cant complain about this season; more bad luck than anything, they fought hard this year, and I respect that. Ill still show my support for the rest of season unlike some red sox fans here who all they do is rip the team for its weakness

I agree. the sooner Crawford leaves to get his surgery the sooner he is able to return "hopefully" as close to 100% as he can be. This give the front office a kick start on who to part with and take aim at bringing in players who can help build this Red Sox team back into contention. How long the transition will take I have no idea but it certainly needs to be done. Cut our losses and move on.

I remember early in spring training when the braintrust said that it was going to do everything in its power to make us forget about last years debacle.... They did that by playing games this year. a robust 56-59 isn't a great atonement to the mess of last year.

Injuries are hard to foresee. I think had we not had so many to deal with we wouldn't be in this funk were in. Pray 2013 in a healthy one!
