Lead, bitches.

Did you watch last year? This is his MO from last year to a tee. Thanks for coming in and putting 2 on without recording an out, you waste. Just like last year, a better reliever is coming in to clean up his mess.

The Lopez special, walk the 1st guy he faces.

How many pitches does it take Lopez to walk Markakis?
-
Ellsbury could f*** up the recipe for cereal.

IP®... Bring it on.

IP®.. Love it.

Tek-loaded. Even when he was good, this wasn't good. Let's see if he can continue to defy expectation.

Youk tends to struggle against this schmuck if memory serves me right.

Building a Franchise - The Anti-Fantasy Baseball League

Got a load of questions, but I'm up for debate and discussion, so I'm in. San Antonio Seats -
Yeah, let's complain about the 5th starter who had a bad outing in his second game when the #2 and #3 have been awful in every game they've pitched, and one is on the DL. Let's face it, folks, if Lester has a reversion and Matsuzaka falls off a cliff, this team won't go anywhere unless Smoltz enters a time machine and Buchholz finally matures between the ears.

What the f*** is Luke Scott's deal? Against the rest of the league it's like he's competing with Ellsbury for new, inventive ways to get back in the dugout in less than 30 seconds. We can't get him out. f***ing taint-baster.

MLB.TV is like 30 seconds behind realtime. I must say the HD quality signal this year is nice, though.

Now do it 5 more times.

Over. Arlo will allow 2 baserunners an inning, but the Sox will hit into 4 double plays.
-
Ellsbury doesn't suck. Not only has he mastered the art of running fast, but he's also figured out how to get back into the dugout quicker than the average player.
-
Good inning. Lots of strikes.

Cover Posada's mitt with gravy, and I bet he finds it.
-
He needs for his sycophants to post updates in the SWB Yankee thread that nobody cares about.

Loving this 4 relievers for 2 outs and 8 runs.

It wasn't a prediction for Christ's sake, it was what "Gom would do" to fix the Yankees. And, like BSN said, it took no foresight to see them signing those three. All 3 were in the "best available" basket, and all three addressed a position of need. Now, as for Molina vs. Posada, I think the case for Molina is being overstated. Over his career, Posada has 928 RC in 1489 G, compared to Molina's 121 RC in 506 G. That's a difference of 0.62 R/G to 0.24 R/G. Figure a starting catcher catches about 120 games a year. Behind the dish, Posada is better by 46 runs over the course of a typical season. For the defensive side of it, that 46 runs is worth a 0.38 change in ERA. Bill James and Keith Woolner (Baseball Prospectus) have studied catcher ERA, and independently both came to the conclusion that the impact of a catcher on a pitching staff is either statistically insignificant or unable to be measured. If the impact was 0.38, they'd be able to catch it, and it wouldn't be insignificant.

Lol, Percival. Get used to it Tampa. EDIT: On second thought, they should be used to it. So, welcome back to the norm.

Upton playing short CF burns them with a 1-run lead in the 8th. Jeter doubles on a ball he catches easily if he's playing normal depth, Damon doubles him, and they threaten to take the lead. Just stupid, stupid baseball not playing to the situation (no doubles defense). I know it's the Yankees and all, but it's almost worth it to see Balfour and Howell s*** all over themselves like they did every year prior to last year.

That's an important distinction that can't be overlooked. Bay did take the field. Manny did need to be coddled with days off. Let's look at the cumulative contribution, RC, and make it relative to how often each player took the field for Boston. Bay played 49 games and created 37 runs. That's 0.755 R/G. Manny played 100 games and created 76 runs, for 0.76 R/G. When you consider that Bay took the field more often, meaning less frequency where a bench player brought the positional production down, there was no dropoff. What people love to do is look at what Manny did in LA and say, "Look at what Boston missed out on". This is a fallacy. What they got from Manny in Boston is what they were going to get given his attitude. The happy Manny in LA did not, and would not, exist in Boston. At their peaks, there's no comparison, it's Manny hands down. But Manny is past his peak, and Bay is in it. In that light, they are comparable as players playing for the Boston Red Sox.
