    That really is a shame that he did not get a gold medal. It is not really his fault either. He did a good job with the crap players he was given. All of those players that did not go because of "Safety" (they wanted safety of wallet more) should be ashamed of themselves. Same thing with that Baseball World Classic thing and how Sheffield won't play for no pay. It really is a shame that these athletes don't even care about playing for their own country.

    Larry Brown took the Clippers to the Playoffs. Any man that can do that deserves a medal.

    I am not excited at all to hear this. When he was a Tampa Bay Devil Ray, I went to a few games just to catch some baseball (Yes I know I watched another team besides the Red Sox, I apologize), but the few times I did see him, he got lit up like a candle. He was awful and I hope we don't get him. He was put into pretty much every game I went to and I knew right away that the Rays would lose, which wasn’t a problem because I was a Red Sox fan. I feel bad for the Mets just for having him, even if he is pitching well right now.

    I am surprised that there won't be any games on either ESPN or FOX. This is a pretty big series between the two Sox teams. You'd think that at least one game would be on the bigger stations, so poor college students like me who don't have NESN or MLB.tv can at least catch one game. But I can't complain I have watched a fair amount of games this year since a lot of them have been on ESPN/FOX.

    Yeah I haven't been a huge fan of some of his managerial decisions thus far this week or during the season for that matter. But I am not a manager or player or anybody special, so I am sure they know a hell of a lot more about the sport then I do. I was hoping that maybe he was just stressed out from the All-Star game preparations in the first half and was just screwing up because of that, but I guess I was just trying to justify. The guy did bring this team to a championship, so I guess he must know what he is doing to some degree. His biggest problem, in my eyes, is that he gets to attached to the guys that brought him a championship last year. Millar and Bellhorn have been struggling thus far this year and he kept them in the lineup night in and night out hoping that they turned it around. Bellhorn never turned it around (in fact I think he got worse), but Millar has been batting better. With Bellhorn on the DL now, Its going to be interesting to see how Tony G. is going to play in his place.

    It makes my eyes water when I see a lineup that is Bellhorn-less. I have been waiting for that day for a very long time. Hopefully I will never have to see a Bellhorn ridden line up again.

    Talk about a lot of drama going on today. Plus the Sox won and the Yankees lost, meaning we are back in 1st for the time being.
  8. trotmanNixon
    Good, now I can watch a second baseman that does not strike out every at bat. It will be nice not seeing Bellhorn strike out every time. I like the majority, were getting a bit tired of him to say the least.
  9. trotmanNixon
    Man lots of news going around today, thats for sure.
  10. trotmanNixon
    What is this all of a sudden? Three trade related posts in like a matter of minutes, its pandemonium.
  11. trotmanNixon
    Yeah maybe we can just get them drunk enough to just hand over Santana without a fight. If that doesn't work we could just use force persuasion. You will hand over Johan and the Wookie to me.
  12. trotmanNixon
    From what I have seen of Youkilis (which I have to say is very little) I have liked. But I am ready to see him take over for Bill Mueller? Not really. I just don't think trading away a big bat like Mueller's is a smart idea. Which brings me back to my original point, getting rid of Millar makes more sense to me, but that’s me. But these are rumors so we'll just have to sit and watch what happens.
  13. trotmanNixon
    Yeah that just came to me after I had said it
  14. trotmanNixon
    Yeah what he said. Give them Millar instead. It said in the article that Millar was also an option. We have a decent replacement for Millar, but not for Mueller. Damn all these Millars and Muellers and Millers are making my head spin.

    The Yankees are now losing and the Orioles are also tied in the 10th against the Mariners, so those games are not over quite yet. What is funny is that in a 3-hour span we could possibly go from first place to third in our division, and even out of the wildcard, it’s amazing. But of course it is only July, so really there is plenty of time to recover from this disaster. I think the whole team might still be riding an a emotional wave from breaking the so called "curse" last year. Not to mention all kinds of distractions there have been this season. I mean this team has been on television shows and players are making music CDs and doing concerts, not to mention the distractions that came with the whole coaching the All-Star game. Hopefully we can have a revival like we did last year, one big game that turns it all around. I mean last year it looked pretty grim, but we all know what happened. So, you just never know what can happen.

    Well Trot is starting tonight in RF, so all is well at least for tonight. Maybe he will have a huge game against Leiter tonight.
  17. trotmanNixon
    That is true, Millar does have 44 more at bats against lefties this year. I am just mad at the timing I guess since we are playing the Yankees. Trot Nixon is batting .286 against Yankee lefties this season, but with only 7 at bats as Millar is batting .231 with 13 at bats. So, really if you go on averages, you could go either way. As long as Millar doesn't make fielding mistakes I guess I can live with it for a few games.
  18. trotmanNixon
    I see your point and I am a bit biased, but if you look at the stats this season, Millar is actually batting .235 against lefties as Trot is batting .270. So I can understand taking him out when we had Payton because he was batting .295 against lefties. But with Payton gone I just can't see benching him right now while we are playing the Yankees, especially since he was super hot in the first two games of the series. But once again I am a bit biased and will admit it.

    Thanks for the welcoming. This place is great! I am glad I found it. Not sure why it took me so long to get into this!
  20. trotmanNixon
    I can't agree with you more. I am tired of not seeing Trot Nixon in right field. I get totally aggravated when I see Millar, a 1st baseman playing RF. Like you said the guy gets a 3-run homerun Thursday, an inside the park homerun on Friday and he gets to watch today’s game from the bench. Maybe he did something to piss off management, because I really don't see the logic otherwise. I could understand it a little more if we were playing the Devil Rays or something like that, but this is the Yankees we are playing, now is not really the best time to benching your starters. Hopefully this doesn't lead to Trot's departure from Boston, because that would make me very sad.
  21. trotmanNixon
    Yeah I totally agree on the fact that they need to steal a lot more then they do. I think I have only seen one game this year where they have stolen a base (I am in Tallahassee, so I only get the games on ESPN and FOX). Damon and Renteria are easily capable of stealing bases. Renteria alone had 34 stolen bases in '03 and 17 last year as a Cardinal, so he is definitely able to steal a few. But I guess since Manny and Papi are driving in so many runs, they just decide to stick with the hit runs. I mean it is kind of hard to steal when you have to those two hitters after our only real stealing threats. Hopefully with that new Adam Stern kid they might steal a few more bases with him, but overall I do think there needs to be more stealing.
