  1. I guess you could call it, a wrong assumption? At least we aren't the Cubs. :dunno:
  2. Kay: "You got to think Damon smiled when he saw the Red Sox offer Coco Crisp around the league. That's a tacit way of admitting you made a mistake." The Red Sox offered Crisp for Andruw Jones, and Mark Burhele. No mention of that.
  3. Johnson YS answer is also correct.
  4. Lopez will probably be released, or passed through waivers. You can bet the Yankees will try to block him though.
  5. I believe Lopez is 29-79 with 4 HR's at Fenway. Comes out to a .367 average.
  6. True story. Dusty Baker, "Let's bat Neifi Perez first." Fan, "He's batting .250, and has a .256 OBP." Dusty, "You ever play this game? Besides, he's got grit, and Neifi saved us last year." Fan, "We didn't make the playoffs." Dusty, "You ever play this game?" Fan, "No." Dusty, "OK, on to Mark Prior, I think 240 is fair for a pitch count." Fan, "I thought we were trying to stop injuring pitchers." Dusty, "You ever play this game?" Fan, "Why don't we play Theirot at second, to see what he can do?" Dusty, "Young players make mistakes (Neifi proceeds to swing at a pitch four miles out of the zone), besides, we've got to keep the integrity of a playoff race." Fan, "If you want to do that, play Theriot, playing Perez gives the other team the advantedge." Dusty, "You ever play this game?" (You ever play this game is a reference to an interview back in '05 when a reporter asked why he played Perez over Cedeno)
  7. Doesn't he have a NTC? I'd think he'd rather retire then pitch for the Cardinals.
  8. The Cubs are terrible. They got rid of Walker, which is the only player that has any OBP skills at all, and Dusty insists on batting Neifi Perez second everyday. Can anyone tell me why Dusty Baker SHOULDN'T be fired?
  9. You are 100% correct. I think, don't quote me on this, but he is the MLB leader in lowest LD%. When batters make contact it usually isn't hard.
  10. Quit comparing him to Brandon Webb.
  11. If Wang can get away with not striking anyone out in the AL, Webb would probably be fine making the transition. I'd say Webb's a low 3.00 ERA pitcher in the AL East. Wang's good, but c'mon, Brandon Webb? I'd say Derek Lowe.
  12. I think the Webb comparision is a little off base. Wang - 3.77 ERA Webb - 2.74 ERA Wang - 9.53 H/9 Webb - 8.66 H/9 Wang - 2.74 K/9 Webb - 6.72 K/9 Wang - 1.27 WHIP Webb - 1.14 WHIP The kid's a good #3 or #4, but he isn't dominant by any stretch of the imagination.
  13. The Yankees would claim him first.
  14. Perez is still at 91-93 mph. I've never once seen him consistently hit 98 mph, he probably touched it a few times, but he was probably consistently at 94-96 mph. That's about a 3-5 mph drop in the fastball. His release point was lower in 2004. Now he's more over the top. I don't know why the Bucs f***ed with it, but they are the Bucs remember.
  15. Thanks.
  16. Does anyone know the song Mike Lowell plays everytime he gets up to bat.
  17. I believe he is referencing your overabundance of smiles. http://www.talksox.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6439 http://www.talksox.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6431 http://www.talksox.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6416 http://www.talksox.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5530 (the greatest thread in talksox history)
  18. Corky Miller sucks. No doubt about that. However, someone has to be back there or the ball will simply just roll to the backstop. (Which actually could be a better option then Miller)
  19. I don't think the sole reason Ortiz was brought in, because Pedro told Epstein to do that. The 2003 Red Sox did not have a quality 1B at the time of the deal, so they brought in Giambi, Millar, and Ortiz. Two of them would fill the 1B/DH holes.
  20. I don't know about any of you, but Landis looked really unconvincing on that podium. Of course, within a day, he's got synthetic testosterone found. Color me not-surprised.
