even sawx fans got to shOut
wayward O asks: is it okay for root for sammy now that the diaspOra has called for his ouster? let wayward O know in comments area! it is a moral quandary of the highest order. wayward O says he will root for team to get it together and go on a tear over next month. wayward O also says if Orioles aren't above .500 on 26 june you will see shake-up.
more importantly, wayward O knows a fella who is a rare breed: a thinking man's red sox fan. we had following chat after mother's day massacre and a good deal can be inferred herefrom.
Ted Williamsburg: You wanna talk about it?
The Wayward O: hehe.
The Wayward O: i had a feeeeling i might hear from you today.
Ted Williamsburg: I was relieved when neither the Times or NY1 had a story about a white, mid-30s jumper on the Brooklyn Bridge
The Wayward O: tell me this, honestly.... when i pinged you [Sunday] ... i never claimed victory right? i just basically said Guthrie was having a great game and i was enjoying it
Ted Williamsburg: That's true, in discussing it with GF and one other person I noted that you weren't jinxing yourself or your nine
The Wayward O: excellent. i'm glad to hear that.
Ted Williamsburg: If you had, you'd a heard from me a lot sooner
The Wayward O: i think -- aside from the ortiz and varitek hits -- the sawx were bystanders, witnesses to a self-inflicted calamity.
Ted Williamsburg: Oh, totally
Ted Williamsburg: That said, Yukes was safe
The Wayward O: i didn't go back and really eyeball the force at home.
The Wayward O: but it's the kind of thing that can propel a team like the sox and give 'em a sense of destiny
Ted Williamsburg: Absolutely
Ted Williamsburg: I said to a Yankee fan that if the Sox hold onto the division, that will be looked upon as the day they took control
Ted Williamsburg: Especially with NY wasting a nice effort by Andy while getting cuffed by a no-name
The Wayward O: true that. the only bright spot is Os are about to hit the easiest portion of their sked.
The Wayward O: if we're not at .500 or above it on june 26, then heads will roll.
Ted Williamsburg: Sox next 22 games are against teams with a win percentage of .560
The Wayward O: yeah.
Ted Williamsburg: They Yanks are against teams .590
The Wayward O: Os had a tough sked in april. now they get the NL West and the Nats.
Ted Williamsburg: Nats can do wonders for a team
The Wayward O: so --- if perlozzo hasn't lost the clubhouse maybe they shake off the Mother's Day Massacre and keep playing hard.
Ted Williamsburg: Pulling your pitcher because your catcher dropped a pop out is f*cking retarded, I can't imagine him hanging too much longer
The Wayward O: you should see the balto blogs. to a man they're calling for his head.
The Wayward O: folks are comparing to the maier game in terms of level of agony.
Ted Williamsburg: How do you not?
Ted Williamsburg: Higher stakes in the Maier game, but SUnday was totally self-inflicted
The Wayward O: right .... and as i said on the camden chat blog (prior to collapse) "This is as big as it gets in May"
Ted Williamsburg: big = bad

I though the call to remove Guthrie was stupid and ill-advised, but I am in the minority who did not want him fired.
Sammy is captain of the ship; however, the highly paid Baez could not get anyone out and Chris Ray sucked even more.
That being said, it is a collective team problem, and everything starts at the top.
Ted Williamsburg's comment - that a mis-played popup is no reason to pull a pitcher who is hot - is right on target. Perlozzo blew that call. But I'm also sure he was thinking "Grady Little" the whole time.
