    Facts? Here's the facts, Fred. Home field advantage wasn't necessary in '03. A competent manager was. That fatally flawed team you love to warn us about won 95 games with one good starting pitcher and no bullpen at the start of the season. I'll take 95 wins to the bank and to the playoffs. Quit it with the f***ing tired Chicken Little s***.

    I guess you waited until they won in '04 to pledge allegiance, Fred. By the end of '03 the 'pen was actually a strength of the team. What it lacked was someone like Schilling to complement Petey, and someone smart enough to take him out of the game.

    Another good inning from Pineiro. Pop-up, soft-liner single, K, K.

    Yeah, that's the thing with JT. You never know when the wheels are going to come off, but when they do, it's full blown FUBAR.

    Why is that your question every time someone questions your ability to communicate? Whether or not I am one doesn't change the fact that your posts look like someone's keyboard threw up.

    And all K's are 3-pitches, all walks 4-pitches. They don't track pitches during ST.

    No, they had them all in against the Yankees. Although, with Wake pitching, Belli was in there. So, technically, that was the real lineup.

    STFU - AROD

    This is pure comedy gold.

    Fred seems to be rewriting history too. Romero has not had two bad years in a row, not statistically he hasn't. I think his usefulness against lefties is more relevant than his history against the Yankees, too. Even in his bad years he holds lefties down to a .220/.300/.320 like line. That Yankee lineup is very left-handed: Damon, Abreu, Giambi, Cano, Matsui, Eye-chart. That's 6 out of 9 starters, and their bench doesn't have a bat that causes me any worry against him.
  13. ORS
    No, you really don't. If you think a 9 IP sample is meaningful, well Jacko, that just says it all my friend.
  14. ORS
    Your point is based on 15.2 measly innings. You know this sized sample tells us nothing, but if you think you have a point, that's not my fault. The game logs are more revealing. He's pitched against the Yankees on 22 occasions in the regular season. The Yankees were able to score ERs in only 5 of those appearances with 6 of the 9 runs coming in 2 of them. So, 77% of the time the Yankees are his bitch, and only 9% of the time do they put up a crooked number. All this s*** is free on the 'net Jacko. I'm not making it up, nor am I making you look foolish. That's your doing.

    Are you kidding me? He's pitched a total of 9.2 innings of postseason baseball. One of those series, and the one that accounts for 5 of his 6 postseason ERs, was against the Halos in 2002. That crew smoked every pitcher in the playoffs that year, especially Stanton who was very good for the Yankees in the postseason. Try? There's no effort needed when it comes to you. You are as easy as they come.

    This would worry me if it weren't so myopic. He's pitched 15 2/3 of his career 456 innings against NY. His career ERA is 4.60 compared to a NY ERA of 5.17. Do you really think that is meaningful, Jacko? I mean if you remove NY from his stats his ERA drops a whopping 0.02 runs. Whoopiedeedoo! And, he's not your bitch in pressure situations. You couldn't score a run off him in the '03 playoffs. Another FOS post, Jacko. Do some research first.

    Snyder over Romero? Romero limits lefties to a .229/.319/.303 line for his career. And despite his horrible year last year, he was even better than that. What is with the Romero hate? The guy hasn't given up a run in ST - meaningless, I know - but he's been a very good pitcher 3 of the last 5 years (normal for RP variance), and even when he's bad he maintains his usefulness against lefties. Guy's a keeper, no doubt.

    I'd say that piece is a nice plant by the FO. It's exactly the type of posturing I was refering to above.
  22. ORS
    Given the way Corey's pitched in ST, I'd like him to get a shot.
  23. ORS
    That's a good point. Although, the Mets have a couple of good prospect options in Pelfrey and Humber.
  24. ORS
    Is it realistic for other teams to expect the Sox to keep him on the 25-man? That's the only way he has trade value because he is out of options, and anyone interested in him could gamble that he doesn't make the 25-man and pick him up once the Sox put him on waivers, which they'd have to do to send him to AAA. They'll likely start the season with a 12-man staff, which would look like this: Starters (5): Schilling, Beckett, Matsuzaka, Papelbon, Wakefield Relievers (7): Timlin, Donnelly, Tavarez, Okajima, Romero, Pineiro, ???? ???? could be Snyder, but given the hit or miss nature of this BP, and if he keeps pitching well, I'm thinking that guy needs to be MDC. Who knows, maybe Timlin can start the year on the DL while they try and find interest for Snyder.
