DiceK was nasty in the first, but really struggled with his command after that. This is just spring training so it doesnt matter what so ever. I also don't think he is dialing it up the way he can. I am not worried what so ever. The first inning change up to Gibbons reminded me so much of Pedros changeup.
Donnely 2 runs in the 7th with one out. Our bullpen is pathetic, Theo needs to make a deal because this can be a very good team, we just need help out there.
Drew had a nice opposite field double, and Lugo has also had a good game with a nice single, a walk and 2 runs scored. This was really the first game with the top six or 7 hitters the sox will feature on opening day. The lineup showed great patient and really made mets pitching work hard. This team is going to score a tun of runs.
ALE: Yanks
ALC: Twins
ALW: A's
ALW: redsox
I want to say the sox are winning the division because we clearly have a better starting rotation, it's just that the bullpen scares the s*** out of me. That being said we had no bullpen in 03 either, but Theo traded for Williamson and Kim(who was pretty good in 03) so by the end of the season I think we will be fine there. I also think our offense is going to put up amazing numbers. I say we win 97 games, and because the Yankee lineup has a superstar at every position they will relentlessly beat on K.C. and Tampa and win 100 games. It's going to be another great season.
So far we have signed Thomas, Welker, Morris, Brady, and Stallworth. Thats pretty good if you ask me, it looks like they will be a much improved team next season.
He is going to get hammered this year if he pitches like he did in the first inning, he gave up two bombs that were foul and only threw like 40% of his pitches for strikes. However its only his first start.
Edit- The only two to three pitches that hit the 90's were so obvisously over thrown
Just watch Dumb and Dumber and read the thread again, then I know you will know what the f*** I am talking about.
Edit- In fact just watch the first 10 minutes
