Even when you have 2 other guys who have done that in your lineup?

 

our lineup is not a "clutch" lineup built on RISP. It is a grind lineup built on power. Having our hitters who are capable of working pitchers into long counts gets them out of games, then we feast on bad bullpens. If you lose two guys who work counts and add in two guys who dont work counts, our lineup can be handled with one horse and a closer. Look at tonight vs last game schill pitched against us. 100 pitches in 5 innings and we broke it open with 3 runs in the 5th after he was worn down. This time, he has 89 pitches through 7. He'll go 8 and hand it off to someone like Paps or Timlin to shut the yanks down. You put in Matsui or Sheff in for Long duck dong and Melky and you get guys who extend innings and up pitch counts. Plus, they make a whole lineup better. Our lineup is not built on getting guys on and waiting for the big hit, and ARod and Giambi are showing that. They are freezing when they are the focus of the lineup. Sheff will help relieve that. He is too much of a prick to care about pressure....

Bernie, Jeter and Posada were bought? I find it funny that you call us mercs when our team has 4 home grown players on it and you only have 2 home-grown players on it. Cmon now....

Not tonight, this lead is Seanez-proof.

 

Let's see how Ann Coulter throws.

OK to the same effect if you bring Coco back it adds speed to the top of our lineup ... an element we haven't had almost the entire year. We also slide Youk back down in the order and he can turn those RISP into RBI before AGon/Cora/Harris can turn them into LOB. So in the same way that you guys are hurting because of injuries ... so are we. It's how the game goes ... stop bitching about it.

 

Better yet ... start bitching to George about getting all these old f***s. Sheffield has been hurt for a decade.

And how is it that you have more homegrown players but your lineup is STILL more expensive?

 

Oh right, A-Rod and his ludicrously overpriced contract.

 

At least hes helped you win those World Series.

I think Yankee nation is severely underestimating what Coco will bring to this team..oh man..I cannot wait to see him in the lineup. And they really should know about Coco as he was pretty good against them last year.

 

 

And RIV, there goes that Piece of s*** Lowell again..man he sucks.

The Sox are clearly a better team with or without Sheff .....think about it..you add Sheff..we add Coco and Wells.. We are still the superior team.

 

it's May bro. Shoot the sherbet early my friend. We have won 10 division titles in a row for a reason....
