Are you sure? If you're going to say something about Burnett already, then I'm allowed to say something about Lester. Besides, who's your number 3 that makes you the best 1-2-3 in the majors?
Lester-Beckett-Schilling have been doing pretty damn well.
Hah, at first it sorta did, but it's ok now. Besides, whatever makes 'em win.
I'm more pissed that I can't see the damn smilie pull down menu
Print screen anyone?
Pedro was trying to over power batters with his low velocity. He's since learned how to deal with his loss of velocity, and he's still a dominant pitcher. If he had learned in '04 what he learned early last season, you wouldn't have seen what you saw. Big whoop, the NL has a pitcher instead of a DH. There's still 8 batters that can hit the ball in a National League batting order. He has a WHIP of 1.00, a BAA of .202, and a 111/28 K/BB ratio in 101.2 IP. I don't care what league he's in, he's still striking batters out, and batters aren't hitting him well. Period. Last night he wasn't ready to pitch mentally. It's understandable, I don't understand how you could watch him last night and think anything was working for him. Last night's one of those games where your emotions TOTALLY impact how you play. Last night's showing should be thrown out the window, there's NO way that last night was a good representation of him against AL teams. It was a mistake letting him go.
Well, after watching us pound the Mets this series, I must say that the Mets suck. I mean, there's no way they could be the best team in New York...oh, wait...
It would make sense. Pedro was clearly sad the night he pitched against us. He probably told Manny it's not worth leaving. Please, let this be the end of the "Manny being a Nutcase" episode and let's get on with the stupid/funny antics.
I don't think this is a sign of him not being able to pitch in the AL. His mind was somewhere else tonight because he was pitching in Boston. I mean the botched double play basically was the story of the night for him.
That ESPN article was a good read.
I didn't know Pedro did what he did in the Herald article. I knew there was a reason that he never changed as my all time favorite pitcher.
Manny and Ortiz should try to make him laugh. Seriously. Millar did it to him in Baltimore, and someone noticed that Pedro was having a hard time taking him seriously at the plate.
