    Deff go Wells, he's a big game pitcher and if he kills em today would prob seal up that game 5 start.
  2. Cityofchampions33
    I am VERY nervous tha he's gunna start game 5 if it comes down to it.
  3. Cityofchampions33
    Roger "Rocket" Clemens

    Go to boston.com, they give u the names of every players song.

    I'm not goin to underestimate them but personally I'm just not afraid of them. Based on what we've done in the regular season I've seen us rock Garland and Buerhle, and am only afraid when Konerko is swingin a stick, otherwise no one really stciks out as a great player.

    It would be really dissapointing if they took away this MVP award from Papi just because he doesn't wear a glove.
  7. Cityofchampions33
    If the AL was never planning on giving a DH the award, then they shouldn't have created the position. If pitchers, who play less than DHs, win the MVP, why can;t a DH? In the MVP award history, a pitcher has won 17/146 times, a 11% clip if u do the math, Eckersley won in '92, and hes the last pitcher to win. Even if a pitcher doesn't win that much, if Ortiz played 1st base and played average defense, he would win, it obviously wasn't an issue when Miguel Tejada issued 21 errors in 2002, Frank Thomas' 15 errors in 1993, Barry Bonds .968 FP in 2002, or Ken Caminiti's 20 errors and low FP of .954 in 1996. BTW, when Papi played 70 games at 1b in 1998, he only made 6 errors w/ a .989 FP. Since then, he's never gotten the chance to play the position. Why? Becuase former Yankee Ron Coomer took over that job and went to the All-star game that year. Taking over that position into 2000 and then handing the job off to Doug Mientkiewicz I sorta quoted myself here from the other thread.

    No question there, Mo has been lights out this year and is the probable Cy Young candidate, but beyond him and Gordon I can't see a consistent late-inning reliever.
  9. Cityofchampions33
    yeah, they definately need to get those times better. Not only are they disspleasing the fans but are probably losing ratings themselves.
  10. Cityofchampions33
    Would you consider your bullpen better than theirs?
  11. Cityofchampions33
    Yeah, had to crop it from the pic it was in, I was gunna use a pic of Millar w/ jack daniels but I thought this was much better.
  12. Cityofchampions33
    Also I agree with the Hyzdu-DiNardo switch. I see DiNardo becoming in a lot like Arroyo did, he came in and proved to be a great long-relief man in the 2003 post-season. Plus DiNardo was tearing up AAA just like Arroyo was, and both came in from other systems.
  13. Cityofchampions33
    I'm really getting annoyed at YES' Michael Kay i think. "Its back! WAAAAY back! See ya!" and his defense for ARod last year was ridiculous.
  14. Cityofchampions33
    I think the biggest theme of this post-season will be the bullpen, in which I believe LAA has the best in the AL, with CHI comin in close second. If LAA can stick close and get the pitch-count on NYY starters, I'd say they have a very big advantage once that is accomplished. They easily up the Yankees bullpen. NYY really has to put up some big numbers at least a few games so they don't have to use Mo every game. NYY keys to victory 1) Score runs 2) Keep tight defense 3) Stop LAA's running threat LAA keys to voctory 1) Grind out NYY pitchers, get to bullpen 2) Score runs early 3) Force Posada to throw out runners, test him
  15. Cityofchampions33
    I know the White Sox have great pitching, especially starting, but they only had the best AL record by 4 games. Plus I believe you guys have a slightly weaker division then us. Everyone in the AL East can beat each other where as you guys have KC and DET at the bottom. I would be more than happy to swap TB and BAL for those 2 teams. Then the top three I say is a scratch. NY=CHI (check reg. season records vs. each other), BOS>CLE, and MIN>TOR.
  16. Cityofchampions33
    Happy to get in, dissapointed we didn't get the East, we shoulda beat TB and TOR, but thats how it goes I guess...Anyway, I feel much better facing the sliding Chisox then the red hot Angles in the playoffs, they don't scare me much at all. Anyone know what our playoff rotation will be? I know Clement, but then who?
  17. Cityofchampions33
    wow, like 7 of our players are hitting .300+ against this kid. Hopefully that'll continue into today
  18. Cityofchampions33
    Huge game for the Sox, and Schill after the loss yesterday, hopefully he'll repeat his last performance against the Yankees and we'll kill Jaret Wright.
  19. Cityofchampions33
    We cover all these issues in a) Millar/Olerud and the Tito thread.
  20. Cityofchampions33
    Deff, if she wasnt she woulda sed Mirrabelli was sexy or w/e, if ur gun fake it then at least do a good job. ANywho, really siked about this game, all around good so far, good D, good P, good pitchin by Wells, two of my most un-favortie players (ARod and Giambi) cost their team runs by makin errors. So far two thumbs up. man, I wish we had papy available tonight, he was absolute nails last night.
  21. Cityofchampions33
    I totally figured out what I want to happen... I'm tryin to make it like the Bucky f***in Dent year. So, we absolutely crush the Yankees in the 1st 2 games, scoring like 1289734871237 runs and have Matsui lean against the Monster cryin(Boston massacre and yaz), then the Yanls barely salvage the last game because of a cheap call or w/e, just has to be cheap. Then we go to Yankee Stadium, it's pitchers duel, and their up 1-0 in the 7th. Then, Graffy injures himself in the field, like a twisted ankle and can't make the AB. SO we send out Alex Cora, who gets up, and fouls a ball off himself, the next pitch breaks his bat, and goes to get a new one. Then he comes back and hits high fly ball into LF, every ne thinks Matsui is gunna ctch but...it kepps on sailing, and sailing, and sailing, then lofts ever so softly into the stands. (Bucky F. Dent).
  22. Cityofchampions33
    Please, I wasn't even alive when that happened and I still hate it.
  23. Cityofchampions33
    Huge huge huge win, i had to leave to watch it, oh man Papy is the man, he looks like Schilling and Clemens put together, and whats more to say about Papi, he just loves the limelight.Itd be a shame if we didn't win this series against the Yankees, and ARod gets the MVP, just wouldn't be right.
  24. Cityofchampions33
    good play by myers, now he faces the cat
  25. Cityofchampions33
    well, thats the whole point, cle is winning, and if we lose we're out of the wild card lead too.
