[yankeessuck013]

Tampa or NY ... idk who to root for... can I hope for a tie?

[See Red]

Personally, YS013, I think I'd rather see the Yanks get buried a bit further.

[See Red]

I love JD Drew... I just want to shout it from the roof tops...

 

1-0

Any idea why Lester is not an all star!!!

[das11209]

By the way - this is why I hate stats. Okijima got credit for the win for last night after Dice-K pitched probably the best game this year.

I really jinxed him!!

[Youk Of The Nation]

I never would have thought I'd be rooting for New York to beat Tampa Bay a week before the All-Star break.

Ask JHB if he thinks wins are a good indicator of how good a pitcher has been.

JHB - is it? Or should we look at ERA only?

[das11209]

Moss is not really getting it done.

 

I wonder how Hinske and Murphy doing these days.

[das11209]

These guys know how to play defense...

[CrespoBlows]

ERA's a pretty misleading stat, too.

[CrespoBlows]

Moss is hitting .400 in July.

 

He's been playing better.

[das11209]

First time I saw that NYY is leading 2-0 I thought oh no... Then I realized it is actually a good thing.

 

Weird.

[a700hitter]

The Park is dead tonight. The offense has to do something to get the crowd into it.

[das11209]

Manny always had good eyes. I have never seen him swinging to balls that are so way out of plate.

 

This is just not a good sign.

[a700hitter]

Just Manny being Manny!!! Yes!

[CrespoBlows]

Manny always had good eyes. I have never seen him swinging to balls that are so way out of plate.

 

This is just not a good sign.

 

This is why overreacting to one AB is bad.

[CrespoBlows]

Pretty nasty slider.

 

Why the f*** he didn't use that instead of throwing a fastballl to Manny is beyond me.

[a700hitter]

Who will pitch the 9th if tied... if they have the lead?

[Youk Of The Nation]

A rolling moss gathers an RBI.

[ORS]

Too bad Hinske or Murphy wasn't up there.

[a700hitter]

Now the crowd is alive. The TalkSox site is dead. I think Moss will be a very good hitter in a year or two.

 

Papelbon go 3 nights in a row.

[CrespoBlows]

Now the crowd is alive. The TalkSox site is dead. I think Moss will be a very good hitter in a year or two.

 

 

I see the Red Sox using him as the centerpiece of a deal at the deadline.

[Cocos Disciples]

That was nice. Good to see Manny doing stuff.

[Youk Of The Nation]

I see the Red Sox using him as the centerpiece of a deal at the deadline.

 

My thoughts exactly. Do you think moving Masterson down is a prelude to his inclusion as well?

[Youk Of The Nation]

Geez Punto just strike out already

[CrespoBlows]

My thoughts exactly. Do you think moving Masterson down is a prelude to his inclusion as well?

 

I doubt it. I think Masterson is going to be too valuable out of the bullpen.

 

Call Billy Beane and see if he wants to trade Huston Street.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Arghhhh
