4/4 @ Toronto

our offense will be fine ' date=' Pitching wins anyways , wich we have[/quote']

 

Pitching wins in playoffs - I think to get to the playoff you need the offense. Ask that team from the Bronx - how they are making to the playoffs last few years without any legit ace.

 

Edit - I wish I had your confidence of our offense will be fine. I think we need at least 1 more power bat - we leave too many people on the base.

how far are they getting in the playoffs ?

[MANNYHOF24]

Cash with a double, maybe Theo knew what he was doing.

[VA Sox Fan]

Pitching and defense!

 

Nice hit for Cash! It's interesting to see how he catches Wake, no target. Seems to work.

 

Go Dustin!

[Cocos Disciples]

Guys. It's April 4. It's game 5. Chill.

I thought we agreed - You need the pitching to win playoffs - but offense is necessary for the 162 games that decide who goes to playoff.

DAMMIT

You need both in both IMO.

[das11209]

2-0 Rays.

right but as we proved last year, with out pitching we had enough offense to get to the playoffs. That was with Manny, Drew and Lugo sucking pretty bad. So if those three can rebound and everyone else stays the same the lineup should be quite improved.

I hope you are right - we barely made it there last year because D-Ped and Jacoby became hot. I think Drew is the deciding factor how many runs we score.

IMO ( and I know you guys have different opinion that I respect) we barely won AL East last year. Our huge lead sort of vanished down the line as our line-up struggled.

[das11209]

You need both in both IMO.

 

That will be nice I guess.

We won 96 games last year, that will get you to the playoffs almost every year.

[MANNYHOF24]

BTW, Manny has reverted back to his normal April sucking after a promising start in Japan.

[redsoxrules]

kennedy getting spanked 5-0 rays

[das11209]

6-0 Rays. Not sure how Yankee fans feel now about holding out Kennedy for Santana.

[MANNYHOF24]

Wake looking very sharp so far. I think if Wake pitched for a dome stadium team, he would have won a cy young.

now,now its only 2.1 IP ...lol

Gotta give them all (A's too, I guess, ha ha) a break considering the amount of travel etc.

 

Pretty good pitching duel this evening!

 

Nice that the Yanks are tanking so far!

[VA Sox Fan]

Agreed and only his first start....it's APRIL folks!

[das11209]

I know it is early - but we won't win 96 games this year if the offense does not pick up.

[MANNYHOF24]

Drew looks awful tonight.

[das11209]

Put a 'it's early' clause in anything I say - Drew looked like s***.

[MANNYHOF24]

I know it is early - but we won't win 96 games this year if the offense does not pick up.

 

 

DEAR GOD, ITS APRIL 4TH WE JUST TRAVELED TO JAPAN! They deserve a little recouperation time, its not fair to judge them yet.

[VA Sox Fan]

6-1 DRays

[das11209]

DEAR GOD' date=' ITS APRIL 4TH WE JUST TRAVELED TO JAPAN! They deserve a little recouperation time, its not fair to judge them yet.[/quote']

 

I am not judging - just inferring. If the offense is like this - they won't make play-off. If they pick-up they will make play-off. Simple.

[das11209]

6-2 Rays.

[redsoxrules]

the way this game is going it will done in 45 minnutes from now
