...and whoever's playing the Yankees - 2008 Game Thread

Oh, I was referring to the entire first sentence. I took his sentence to mean that if he tore his ACL, Osi's season is over before it begins. I see you took it at as him saying the Giants' season is over. Now that I re-read it, I'm agreeing with your interpretation.

Ok. This is really starting to get f***ing annoying. Gom, please keep any personal shots in the thread that is already flowing with them. Make your points, and be done with it. It really is starting to get ridiculous. I fail to see one instance where JHB has continued the flaming outside of Anything Goes when he's not responding to your provocations. Please, for the love of GOD, keep it to yourself. I don't think it's too hard to just make your point and respond to his in a more respectful manner. You don't have to like him, but what you SHOULD do is debate respectfully. It's one thing to give a little and take a little, but you just seem to take it to the next level. And 26, I don't mean to be a dick or anything, but Gom's better at flaming JHB than you are. Everyone CHILL OUT. God. -

I can think of far worse options than Wakefield... though I'm fully aware that the Yankees seem to eat him alive. -

Balls. -
To whom would you trade Lowell?
-
Yes. It was the weirdest thing of my life.

Welcome to the board!

Thank youuuuuuu.

Varitek and Cora back-to-back hits? VERRRRR NICE!
-
You could try to bring Clemens back to save the season! I did just see him at Costco in Dedham half an hour ago...that was the WEIRDEST thing ever.

Schilling's problem was that he got tired down the stretch. In '05 he was being used as the team's closer during the middle of the year after destroying his ankle and rehabbing for the sake of 2004. He hadn't been pitching off the mound consistently since 2 years prior, and with his increasing age, I believe arm fatigue was a big deal and explanation for his August performance. It's not that it isn't evident. I understand that, and agree that he's one of the best at calling a game. My concern is that I think you are using it as a reason to justify keeping Varitek around despite some other huge flaws. He can't hit consistently, his bat speed is slower than a grandmother driving, and he doesn't throw out base runners anymore. I think those outweigh the reasons for him to stick around. That being said, as long as he isn't overpaid, I wouldn't have a problem keeping him around. I also don't think that he needs to be back.

I'm of the mindset that most catchers can call a pretty decent game. I don't doubt that Tek is better in that area, but I don't believe that it's enough to justify overpaying for him and his abysmal bat. I also won't take 2006 Schilling, Beckett, Lester, and Jason Johnson seriously. They all had their own huge issues over that entire season, never mind just August. David Wells seems to have done pretty well, eh? Besides, saying that Jason Johnson sucked because Tek wasn't the catcher is, itself, laughable at best.
-
The team was in disarray because it was killed by injuries. Not because Tek is the captain.

I hate the thought too, but we're running out of options. Pauley, Hansack, a s***-stained carpet? They're all garbage, but we'll have to stomach one of them. We could try Bowden too, but some people might have reservations about that. I dunno.
-
Hasn't Hansack had a decent stretch of games recently?
-
As do I. Don't they have a ton of road games coming up too? They'll fall out of chasing both Sox.
-
You do realize we're tied in the L column with the Twins, right? The lead is 1/2 game.
-
f*** the Angels, once again. f*** them.

The Rays are going to win the division simply because we can't win when they lose. (/sarcasm) But seriously... I can't remember the last time we gained a game on those *******s.
