    What a start! I have fond memories of blowing teams away early from the glory days.

    knuckleballers don't have a place in the AL East. The power is too great and the stadiums are smaller.

    In the NL East, the Mets have a small park, Braves are hitter friendly, Phillies have a short porch in left and right. Pretty much the same in that regard.

    That's the first time I have ever heard someone say that the Mets ballpark is small.

    I just turned this game on, and its almost already in hand! Crazy. The offense dominates, and Lester dominates. Crazy!

    Their offense makes it look big.

    I was surprised when we had Talksoxer's chiding the FO for letting Dickey make it to the Jays. I don't think we should rue that decision at all. That said, that was about the worst pitching for a one inning stretch by any knuckler I can remember. Of course that there are few of them left, adds to his uniqueness and provides less opportunity for us to critique them. Wright does not impress me as AL East ready either.

    Players want to play. I'm sorry Pal, but the manager has to protect the players against themselves and sometimes he needs to protect the team from a pitcher having an off day who want to stay in the game. This is a big part of the manager's job. You can't just make out the lineup card and then sit on your hands.
