  1. Somebody needs to extend this inning, or that f***er will be out there for the 7th.
  2. Middle-middle at 88 mph per Gameday....how does Manny make an out on that pitch? EX-LAX!
  3. Patient? What for? No, he needs to swing at the first pitch that is 6" inside, making the 3rd out, assuring that with another good inning this cockbiting pitcher who owns us will get to pitch the 7th.
  4. Did somebody say runs? http://site.diabeticdiscountdirect.com/products/exlax-00548.gif BTW, exl-lax should be the moto until they stop s***ing the bed offensively.
  5. Six baserunners in 4, no runs....the '07 Sox in a nutshell.
  6. The Rays announcers. They suck, they blow, and they suck, and that's while constantly bitching.
  7. Is it wrong of me if I feel like jamming steak knives in my ears every time I listen to Dewayne Staats and Joe Magrane?
  8. Have I mentioned that Jeff Karstens is my new favorite baseball player?
  9. No, it's because he wasn't that good. They gave him more than a handful of starts last year - 6 to be exact. He turned that into 39 IP and a 7.85 ERA. Consider this year the Aaron Small effect.
  10. It agrees with what I saw. Are you saying it wasn't a cookie?
  11. You can check the location on gameday from yesterday. It's much closer to the middle than the corner.
  12. My best friend in HS had a theory. He called it GUE. Go Ugly Early. The premise was that guys essentially blocked each other out when going after the hot girl at a party, and only went after the ugly ones after all other options were gone, and the ugly girls knew it, so they weren't interested either. So, he went after the ugly ones from the get go. Gotta say, it worked well for him.
  13. I'm basing it on what I've seen. I watched him in the Futures game and I finally got to see him pitch for the Yankees last night. He couldn't throw it for a strike to Tejada until he took something off at 3-1, and that pitch was cookie, middle-middle. He threw one really well located FB yesterday. With his stuff, I think you can ignore the small sample size BB/rates at his MiLB stops. He blows kids away with that suff. I think he's got some work to do before he'll dominate the bigs after people have seen him.
  14. Not really. Not the same at all, actually. Despite your protestations about where you have been, your frequency of posting is directly correlated to the gap in the division. It's at 4 games now, the smallest it's been since April, and you are posting like a banshee now. Not true 2 weeks ago, when you were still back, but the lead was larger. Denying your true intent is an exercise in futility, because your posting history just doesn't match it.
  15. His slider is pretty awesome. His FB command, hell even control, is nonexistant.
  16. That ball Ortiz hit is a tater normally. They should have gotten a bat and had him get the surgery. He's a gap hitter at this point.
  17. Timmeh's got it going. Good thing, the tards that try to hit the ball are in standard form tonight.
  18. Arlo is in the middle of the statistical correction that was bound to come. His 1st half BABIP was .230, but it's been around .350 the last two weeks, and .320 in the second half. He'll finish in the mid-4's, which is about where he should be with what he brings to the mound.
  19. Guthrie is their ace?
  20. What a cockbiter. You would figure of all the nimrods on this site, the supposed AAA ball player and baseball historian would know not to jinx it. I smell a farce.
  21. They've got to be leading the league in stranding runners. Hell, they have scored 40+ runs lower than their EqR.
  22. I'll agree with you when I see some more solid fundamentals from Cano in the field. He's an extremely smooth fielder, but he does a lot of things that just aren't fundamentally sound. He can get away with it due to his natural talent, but that doesn't mean he's fixed it.
  23. I think it depends on what you want/need because they offer two distinctly different skill sets. Pedroia will get on base better and more consistently throughout his career with his IsoD. Cano will hit for more power in every category. What do you want, more bases or less outs? There's a strong case for both. I think Cano has a little better range, but he also has a stronger propensity for errors. And he suffers, IMO, from a lack of focus on the field, so some of his mistakes don't even make the scorebook. The stats all back Cano as a fielder, however. Tough call for me here. The same range vs. error issue exists between Gonzo and Lugo, and despite my mind insisting that you take the guy who gets to more balls, I can recall a few Lugo errors that have been game deciders. Yesterday was one. Sure, it happened in the first, but they are up 3-2, not tied w/o that run.
