    That doesn't answer the question. EDIT: The amount ARod, Posada, Abreu, and Jeter are above their career averages is substantially better than whatever improvement you will get from 1B, 2B, and LF (with LF being the biggest improvement).

    Why, if our rotation can't keep it up, is your offense going to continue with 7 of 9 either at or substantially above expected performance? Apply the same rational standard to both teams.

    I too don't get the notion that if we don't put some distance in the standings before Mussina and Wang get back (next week, btw), that they'll run away with it. While their top-3 will be good pitchers, all three of them live and die to some extent on the ball in play. Those guys can give you good outings, but because of that dependence, they aren't stoppers. Right now it looks like we'll have at least two. With 2 stoppers, losing streaks just don't happen. Maybe none of that happens. Maybe Schilling goes old-fart, Wakefield has 5.00+ era stretch, Beckett ditches all the progress he's made, and Matsuzaka turns Nomo, but we haven't seen signs of any of that happening yet. Until it does, there's just no way you can predict a runaway without it being wishcasting.

    If you look at the numbers, it's pretty much BA driving it all. The IsoD and IsoP are the same. When the balls in play start finding gaps, and they always do, the gap will narrow. The same thing holds true for the pitching. The Sox edge in the rotation won't always be what it is now. The gaps can start to narrow in either category at any time, and predicting when it happens is folly. So, while you should admire what they've done thus far, don't get used to it. I know I'm not with the pitching. It will be good, but not as good as it has been all season. If it is, nobody stops us, but it's never that easy.

    Andy Pettitte has a horseface. No green pastures of play for this former stud. It's on to the glue factory..... http://tonova.typepad.com/thesuddencurve/images/my_little_pony_glue_factory.jpg

    You got that from what people have posted in this thread?

    Just got updated for the 14th game. Sox BP - 2.52 Yanks BP - 2.69

    I like the idea of the team thread for the prospects. Much easier this way. Through 5, tied 1-1 Buchholz 8K/1BB, 1ER, 3H (3.72 ERA on the season) Lowrie 1/2, 1HR (.300 on the season) Ellsbury 1-1, HBP (.414 on the season)

    He will. See, I can say something none of us knows for certain like it's a fact too. This is fun.
  12. ORS
    Against Beckett? Check the boxscores and get back to me. EDIT: You were right, they did chase him early.

    I see ARod had some more heroics on my ride home. Rather unexpected. And, more importantly it adds a new dynamic to the opt-out issue. Imagine, ARod is clutch all year, winning the hearts and minds of the Yankee fans, leads them into the playoffs (as the WC of course), has a monster series, but they go home because their rotation sucks and Jeter actually has a bad series. The fans have turned. They want him now....... And he leaves them like a jilted bride. I'll giggle my ass off all offseason. Keep it up, ARod.

    You are going to eat your words here. He looks nothing like last year. This is more of your overreliance on the last sample (last year). He's just not the same pitcher you saw last year, if you would have watched him, you'd know that. If there's any pitcher I'm worried about you getting to, it's Schilling. He's still pitching like a power pitcher, but without the power. His location has been spot on the last two starts, so he'll get some outs on pitchers pitches, but when your hitters guess right they will have success.

    He could have, but I feel confident in Lugo's bat handling ability with the hit and run on.

    Looks like the bully is spitting the bit again.
  18. ORS
    In play, run(s)
  19. ORS
    Tito is a genius.
  20. ORS
    Now he puts Lugo in for Pedroia. Der de der.
  21. ORS
    PH Beckett, he of the miraculous bloop single, for Pedroia?
  22. ORS
    What'd he do?
  23. ORS
    I would like to pre-empt Jackson's post if we end up winning this. It will be OK that we won because we used so much of the 'pen. Book it.
  24. ORS
    Me too. That's why I asked.
  25. ORS
    PH the Belli?
