I will NEVER again watch a game that Dice K start in a Boston uniform. What a total disappointment he has been! Just get rid of him this off-season, even if it's just for a bucket of balls...

I agree he is frustrating to watch.  However, if Beckett, Lackey and Wakefield had the same winning percentages in the games they pitched, the Red Sox would be leading in the East.

Dice-K drives me crazy nibbling the strike zone. Walking 5 or 6 batters and getting to 120 pitches in 5 1/3 innings. It obviously puts stress on the bullpen. He's not been alone this year with Josh B. doing some of the same when he hasn't been on the DL.

Boston also needs a real pitching coach. John Farrell is a great development guy but not sure he is the best pitching coach they could find. Look at what happened with Smoltz and Penny when they went to St Louis with Dave Duncan.

exchange for Kawakami straight up.

I hear him on a local station in Atlanta, of course he could still live in Baltimore area. He obviously knows pitching! He left Atlanta because they would never give him more than a 1 yr deal and he got a nice raise. He also joined his buudy Sam Perlozzo in Baltimore and was close to his kids and grand kids (where he grew up). Anyway, Perlozzo didn't work out so Leo was out of a job... I should post your suggestion on sonsofsamhorn.com! Thanks!

Wonder if Leo Mazzonne is available.
