4/20 vs New York - Fenway 100th Anniversary Game

[Meh]

Buchholz gets the Bronx cheer.

 

I think that was Bobby V getting the bronx cheer

[FredLynn]

Of note: if we lose this game and tomorrow's game we will be exactly where we were after 14 games last year: 4-10. Except last year we had Papelbon and Bard in the pen.

Anyone remember when Buchholz had an ERA of 7.20 last April?

 

Anyone remember when we had Pedro, Schilling and Lowe!!!!!

[TheFens85]

And last year we had John Lackey and Daisuke Matsuzaka in the rotation.

[jung]

The Salty of last April finished at .235 even with his mid-summer orgasm. He can't hit, can't receive and can't throw....Not even sure Theo would still have a hard on for this guy.

[TheFens85]

I like the blank retro uniforms better.

dude not cool not cool. Pedro would sling a pitch close to Aroi'ds ears...

Buchholz wants us to remember Lackey fondly. Buch's ERA is at a whopping 9.

In April.

And at 4-10 we were on a 2-gm winning streak

[TheFens85]

Atchison has been nails.

 

Too bad Gardner's out, there was a Gardner in the Yankees lineup 100 years ago today.

[a700hitter]

A strikeout? His first batter? He must be a God!

[jung]

Nice block Salty...outf***ingstanding

[a700hitter]

In April.

a slow start is a 5 ERA, not 9.

[a700hitter]

Nice block Salty...outf***ingstanding

He's money!

[Divinity]

And with Griffey being one of the most talented all-around players we've seen in the last?? 30?? Yrs' date=' I'm sure if he applied himself at a young age he COUlD of been a great ss[/quote']

 

You think he could have been just as good or better at SS? Aside from Griffey's 96 season his three best years at CF ( 15.0, 14.0, 11.0) have been very similar to A-Rod's at SS ( 16.0, 12.8, 12.4)

[TheFens85]

A slow start is a slow start.

What was Melancon's ERA when he was fired? I think it was just under 40or something. I think he was going for the record. Coulda made it too, if he stayed.

[TheFens85]

This debate is stupid. Griffey couldn't have played shortstop and A-Rod couldn't have played without steroids.

[a700hitter]

Tomorrow we should bludgeon Freddie Garcia. We will need a blow out, because we can't trust the pen. I'll be bringing my mojo with my daughter and son. The last time all 3 of us were together for a Yankee game, Ellsbury stole home. BTR's mojo went bad . He ruined the 100 year anniversary. Stay away from making the game thread tomorrow.

[jung]

I don't get the Griffey comparison at SS at all. It is not even fair to Griffey. Ya' can't suggest that he would be as good at SS as a guy that has played there. Regardless of how good an athlete Griffey is ya' can't just toss an infield glove on the guy and expect him to play SS.

[Station 13]

Buchholz's career 192BB to 351K........awful

[a700hitter]

What was Melancon's ERA when he was fired? I think it was just under 40or something. I think he was going for the record. Coulda made it too' date=' if he stayed.[/quote']49.50. He only pitched 2 innings, because he couldn't get anyone out.

[TheFens85]

You can't toss a shortstop in centerfield and expect them to do well there either. They're both very difficult positions.

It was 49.5, We should've kept him for the laughs.

[a700hitter]

Atchinson gets out all 3 batters and he has been very reliable, but he will be the first one sent out when they bring up Miller. Gagging.

[TheFens85]

Time for the 5 run inning we had in 1912.

Thank you, at least someone gets where I was coming from.

He'll be fine. Chill out.

[jung]

Sorry if I a missed that part of the discussion. I did not think there was a suggestion that Arod could play Center, only that Griffey could play SS. My bad if that discussion was going in both directions.
