    If that 2-2 pitch missed to Chavez, you'd need an electron microscope to see by how much.

    FILTHY splitter to start the AB against Ellis.
  3. ORS
    Embree comes in to K Crawford with Lugo on 3rd and 2-out. Still 7-5.

    On the surface and on paper that is correct. However, I feel that runs scored later in games do mean slightly more due to the fact that the other team has less outs to overcome them, and, as you know, outs are your most precious commodity. They wouldn't keep a close and late split if it didn't mean something. Also, the people who vote for this award are impressed by clutch hitting as much as the casual fan. I'm not trying to argue for or against either player because I think it is a meaningless award. But I don't think runs scored in early in games are as important as runs scored late. I would feel much better if the Sox went down by 3 to a HR early in the game as opposed to late.

    We lead the league in "balls rocketed but right at someone" the last few weeks. 7-pitch 1-2-3 for Blanton, aka "Private Pyle".

    Posada finally ends the Yankee 6th, still 7-5. Pinella must have an interview this week to replace Torre, because leaving McClung in was a gift.

    Payton looked safe, but I'm glad the whiny bitch was called out.

    Gomes is killing the Yankees this year. 1.084 OPS, 3 HR, 10 RBI in 39 AB EDIT: That was prior to tonight. It is now: 1.194 OPS, 4 HR, 13 RBI in 42 AB....through his first 3 AB's tonight.

    A rookie junkballer that throws lots of strikes that the Sox haven't faced before, combined with several frigid bats in our lineup, does not make a good formula for success.

    McClung got out of jam. Sheff strands 2 RISP with a ground out to the pitcher. Still 2-1 Rays into the bottom of 5.
  11. ORS
    McClung is in implosion mode in TB. Cano double, Crosby single, wild-pitch, HBP ARod, Giambi's up with 1-down.
  12. ORS
    This team is going nowhere if the offense continues to struggle.
  13. ORS
    Holy crap are those things big. I had no idea.
  14. ORS
    I think he's settling down a little. http://www.websitesandsoundbites.com/Block_with_letter_K.jpghttp://www.websitesandsoundbites.com/Block_with_letter_K.jpg

    Hall 2-run double off Small, 2-0 Rays.
  16. ORS
    Of course you do, but you have no credibility, so what you think hardly matters.

    From the same post, not the same thread, the same f***ing post: Not only did I prove your bias, but I proved you a liar too. Care to continue?
  18. ORS
    I don't consider opinions, nor the defense of them, disrespectful. It is the act of attempting to pass your opinion off as more than an opinion. Bias proved: from the thread "2004 Minor League Organizational Rankings" in Minor League Prospects thread link Cano vs. Pedroia Youk vs. Duncan Wang vs. Papelbon A person with an unbiased approach to this discussion would be consistant in choosing a prospect with big upside or a player with MLB experience. You do not do that. You defend Wang and Cano against the prospective talent of Papelbon and Pedroia by citing their current experience, then do a complete 180 degree turn and say Duncan is better than Youk because of his potential despite Youk's MLB experience. That is blatant hypocrisy. You took both sides of the same argument and used whichever one supported the Yankee player that was part of the discussion. I'd have to make something up to make it appear more biased.
  19. ORS
    You are disrespectful in a very passive aggressive way. You expect people to take your opinion as some sort of cold, hard, indisputable fact, while trying to pawn it off as unbiased. You insult people's intelligence when you do that. If it is your opinion, then state it as such. And as far as the "unbiased" thing goes, you might as well quit including the "according to my unbiased..." tag on your posts, because that dog just won't f***ing hunt here.
  20. ORS
    Just because your opinion is that the improvement was gradual doesn't make it so. Unfortunately, I think this will be hard concept for you to understand, as you are very unreceptive to contrary points of view. The phrase, "I'm taking my ball and going home", was a big part of your childhood wasn't it?
  21. ORS
    Andrew Pinckney's breakout year in Greenville will be an added variable into the decision making process for the FO this offseason concerning 3B. He's still probably 2-4 years away (2 if he keeps improving like he did last offseason). If they like what they see in him, it wouldn't surprise me terribly to see Billy signed for 2-3 years and Youk either dealt for pitching or platooned at first. I'd like to see him platooned at first.
  22. ORS
    Sea Dogs lost tonight to the Aeros, 4-3. Charlie Zink got he loss. Craig Hansen pitched the 9th, giving up one hit and one walk without allowing a run. boxscore
  23. ORS
    Being a DH stacks the deck against Papi for MVP, but if he keeps this up he's got a good shot at it.
  24. ORS
    Everything hit for them has eyes on it. We drill the ball right to their fielders. That's how the game goes sometimes.
  25. ORS
    Derek Lee, Albert Pujols, Manny Ramirez, Papi, ARod, Vlad, the list can go on forever....they all have their head down, eye on the ball when they hit. Kappy was looking at CF when he missed the slider in his first AB. EDIT: He missed the pitch so badly (by 8 inches or more) because it broke and he didn't move with it, something you see all good hitters do. EDIT II: I'm well aware that you use your reactions to hit a FB, but you still keep your eye on the ball.
