    I don't think the two are mutually exclusive. Just because Gabbard might never be more than a 5th starter on the Sox doesn't mean a team like Texas couldn't make him a #2 or #3. Different strokes. I just don't know where Gabbard fits in the future of this club. He is a nice addition for this season, but who knows. EDIT: I think it is so hard to know when you HAVE that Buerhle/Kenny Rogers lefty and when you have Lenny DiNardo. The proof is, more often than not, in the pudding which is a little less secure than I think a 140m payroll team will be comfortable with... again, who knows... Manny's RBI swing is coming back. He's finding ENORMOUS holes in the defense.

    I would be shocked if he wasn't drawing at least a LITTLE bit of interest. He has been successful this season, and should at least warrant mention as a 3rd player in a deal to a team that could use MLB ready pitching. I would think he could help a team like Texas.
  5. example1
    At least Manny didn't sprint out of the way after he scored to ensure that he couldn't POSSIBLY offer Youkilis any help. He didn't animate himself either, but at least he didn't sprint into the clubhouse to shirk his responsibilities.

    YES TEK! 4-1 sox in a BIG game.
  7. example1
    Yes, and expecting him to do so consistently from here on out would be foolish. To hold onto him because he could become a back of the rotation soft tossing lefty would also be foolish. If there is reason to think he has something else (exceptional control, a plus plus curveball, etc.,) then I would be more in favor of keeping him. Honestly, I haven't studied him like the Sox FO likely has, so I trust them to know his worth. He could simply be another Lenny DiNardo.

    Guys who tend to miss bats also tend to throw hard. There are, of course, a number of people who canpitch effectively without throwing hard but I always get surprised if they suddenly look unhittable for stretches. I think it is safe to assume they are just pitching well rather than overpowering players. Mark Buerlhe is the exception to the rule, not the norm. Same with Kenny Rogers.

    I really think his best comparison is Kenny Rogers. What do other folks think?

    Wow. The Yankees have already had a batter in their game and they haven't scored yet! Just a man on 2nd and nobody out.

    I'm tired of this... Papi needs to get a hold of one here.

    coco is seeing the ball well in this AB, it seems. EDIT: Hmmm, maybe not.

    Lester.

    Alright, let's get JoBo.

    Goodness! Josh. Nasty hook in the 8th.

    Yet. This is the time of year that teams start defining themselves. This has been a VERY impressive series in Cleveland for both teams, but I think the Sox have really shown something, going aginst the team with the best home record in baseball and getting at least 2, getting at least a split. Their pitching seems like its for real. Sabathia and Carmona right now are not pitchers that it is worth beating ourselves up about. They are good pitchers who are both pitching very well. Like Beckett and DiceK. Lester's victory was impressive.
  20. example1
    I don't need 3 views of him getting tagged out. The ball beat him to the base by quite a bit.

    Why wasn't Crisp swinging?
  22. example1
    I agree. I almost got on Crisp for not swinging at 2-0. Damn it! Lugo thrown out trying to steal, Crisp with the little-league approach of pretending to bunt instead of RIPPING that strike for a double down the right field line. f***! At least Crisp is still coming up next inning.
  23. example1
    I don't even know who I want up for this team right now. A double by Cora with crisp at the bat, then--at worst--Pedroia, Ortiz and Manny. Lugo should pinch run. VMART isn't that good of an arm, if I remember.
  24. example1
    I would love it if I didn't have to watch Cleveland's announcers. They aren't as bad as the ChiSox, but they are pretty annoying tonight and talking a fair amount of s***. They seem fairly sure of themselves.
  25. example1
    That was intangible, Cora.
