No surprise, but the Yankees choose the longer series, so the Sox begin Thursday.

 

how is this a longer series?

 

the ONLY diference is one starts tomorrow and the other thursday

 

games 2-3-4-5 are all the same dates for both

Longer by one day....

That's the difference between a 3 man rotation and a 4 man rotation. AKA, the difference between CC and Joba in Game 4.

I am going sunday! Woohooo!

Where are you sitting?

Section 7

It has been 5 hrs since the last post in the baseball forum. I think it is safe to say that today and tomorrow will be the calm before the storm. A lot of s*** is about to go down over the next few weeks. Either the Sox are going to make a run to the WS or they're going to lose. We will either spend the entire offseason talking about the glory of 2009 or the need for the team to make drastic moves to re-enter the cream of the class in the AL (supposing we lose to ANA or NYY--or MIN).

 

Right now it certainly appears like there's a chance for another Red Sox-Yankees LCS, which are really just unbarable to me I don't know about you all, but I really can't stand Sox-Yanks playoffs series. Victory is so sweet, but I hate, HATE, HATE losing to the Yankees to end the season. It is pretty much the epitome of perfect defeat. It is your hated rival laughing at you while he's walking away with your girlfriend and I'm on the ground holding my jaw. It is the ultimate in hurt fandom and it really, really sucks. I will just be pissed off.

 

It will be an interesting time...

I'm with you mate

Per Amalie Benjamin, Byrd is on the roster, Delcarmen is not.

[jacksonianmarch]

That, to me, says that the sox arent convinced they can get innings out of someone.

Though I'm at least a little worried about every starter but Lester.

I think it was a pretty obvious move. Delcarmen has been sucking lately and they don't have anyone who can give multiple innings in relief in the event of a blowout.

It gives NY the chance to bring CC back on regular rest for game 4. It was a no-brainer

Or, Delcarmen blows and was just in a car accident.

[a700hitter]

Baldelli will also not be on the roster and the Sox are expected to carry both Anderson and Gaithright. I hope Drew doesn't get a case if vaginosis. We may need to kidnap Anderson so Tito can't platoon him with Drew and play him against Saunders.

I'd go to Boston and kill Tito.

[Youk Of The Nation]

If I see Brian Anderson on the field or at the plate against the Angels in anything other than a blowout situation, I will drop a neutron bomb on Los Angeles.

[a700hitter]

I'd go to Boston and kill Tito.

I'll pay your fare. Of course , it would be in cash so nothing could be traced to me. I'll hook you up with some phony papers so you can slip in and out of the country without getting caught.

Don't tempt me.

 

I'd kill him in an instant.

[a700hitter]

So then you agree that if Drew comes to Tito before, during or after one of the games complaining of a tight quad, hamstring, groin etc, that Tito should just tell him that there is no one else and that he is not coming out of the lineup. I don't care if Drew has to go out there with 1 less limb.

I'd lend him one of mine.

 

But honest to God, if i see Brian Anderson in a postseason game, i'm going to flip the f*** out.

[a700hitter]

On another note, a lot of us like Baldelli and would like him to succeed, but he is not a reliable 4th OF. Even with his limited playing schedule he managed to fnd his way to the DL twice, and now he is a no-go for the playoffs. There were other times where he couldn't finish games due to fatigue.

Wait, was Baldelli left off because off his condition/health? I thought Gathright and Anderson made it because they will probably be used in pinch running/late defensive situations.

[RWTP24]

Don't tempt me.

 

I'd kill him in an instant.

 

Should I take care of him tonight? He is in a hotel not to far from me.

[RWTP24]

Hey, does anyone know how to fine all time stats from the Red Sox vs. Angels in the playoffs?

Health. He is a great RH fill in for Drew, but not if he's unable to play when it matters most.

Read: Daisuke.

I read: Wakefield. He's the mop up man, the innings eater when it probably doesn't matter. The its the third game of the series and we're down 8 runs in the 4th mopping. The Sox BP doesn't really have anyone resembling long relief, so they need a starter who resembles a mediocre light-usage bullpen guy. Paul Byrd, unshockingly, fits that role 2nd best after Wakefield of all the players on the team.

Wakefield's not starting in the playoffs though. I'm pretty sure he's not on the roster.

He meant that since Wake is not on the roster, Byrd will fil the "Wake-esque" role.
