Wow. I had no idea Mendoza was so good in the alcs. He was with the yanks prior to the sox, so it makes sense. He was with them when they were absolutely dominant.
Laughable. Nixon can stay healthy, this was his first year of injuries, and he is a big threat when he is healty (even if I do hate him). Mientkiewicz is a great first baseman, and he has helped the team out tremendously first base wise. Glavine will soon be 39 years old. I doubt the sox would give up so much for him.
Not true. You say what happened to our pen in game 3 of the alds. They essentially blew the game. Lowe came on and got 3 strikeouts in 1.2 innings and pitched decently. The playoffs are a whole other ballgame from the regular season. I would not be surprised to see Lowe continue to pitch and continue to pitch well.
We could be facing any team in baseball and any pitcher and I'd have confidence in game 1. Schilling has been lights out this entire season, and he only had one inning (12 consecutive pitches) where I felt otherwise.
Mussina has been pitching well recently, but not as well as schilling. Overall I feel OK about facing the yankees, but I'd rather have faced the Twins.
Yea. But unforunately, that guy hasn't posted since April 23rd. I think we all knew that Manny would have a great year. Spring training is really never a great indicator of things to come, and he really showed that this year.
The only part that worried me was the bullpen's shaky performance. Myers and Timlin defnitely did not get it done. They need to get it done for us to advance farther.
