He Hate Me

ALDS looks like AIDS thats the best I got for now.

I can't see them giving us Santana for just those 3. Knowing the Twins, they'll probably ask for a pitcher or two as well. That offense looks about the same as the ones that have sucked ass the last few postseasons. I want more changes dammit!

Give the Twins Abreu, Melky and Matsui for Santana, with us eating 50% of Matsui and Abreu's contracts.

your team sucks...but apparently not as much as ours. I hope Cleveland tears you a new one with a 4 game sweep. I'd love to see those Canadian bugs cover up Schilling in game 3 at the Jake and make him look like Candyman. And yes I am bitter.

Ok is there like some sort of site where they list the players who have performed best int he playoffs on the offensive end? I'm talking minimum 50 ABs. Any stat formula will do for me. I'm at wits end trying to figure out why the hell we can't get a frigging hit in the postseason.

I don't want ARod around if he wants a FA deal from us. For that matter, I don't want Matsui either. I think our starting pitching woes are only half the story, the other is our offense's inability to score in the postseason year after year since Tino and Paulie left. I say we blow up the offesne, they've shown that they can score like crazy in the regular season but choke big time in the postseason. If ARod opts out, let him go. I'm done with Giambi, he's completely useless to me at this point, and I actually think that Doug is more useful than Jason is. Wang needs a pitching coach who will teach him how to mix up his pitches more and not totally rely on one pitch. The only guy in the majors who can get by on one pitch is Mariano and people are starting to catch up to him. A starting pitcher can't rely on only one pitch. Can I suggest starting him on a rising fastball to mix it up with the sinker? He's got the arm to carry off the velocity needed for an effective high riser. My lineup for next year assuming we don't go nuts in free agency. 1. Damon DH 2. Jeter SS 3. Abreu RF 4. ARod 3B 5. Cano 2B 6. Posada C 7. Melky CF 8. Duncan LF 9. Doug 1B the names aren't as impressive but what did impressive names get us the last few postseasons? Starting rotation: Petite Wang Kennedy Hughes Chamberlain 4/5 of the SP rotation under 28 and with room to grow led by a legit big game pitcher in Andy. I can live with that. Still need a bridge to Mo. I'm sure we got some more arms on the farm to bring up who can fill the spot. I won't worry much about it. Lastly, I love Joe but I think it's time for a change. I'd say make Girardi the manager because of his success with a young team in FL. I think he will push Melky and Robbie closer to their potential. Get whoever was the pitching coach under Girardi. I'm tired of this team sucking it when it counts the most. I'd rather give a shot to other people and see what happense from there.

ugh I'm not gonna enjy the next week.

i'm here to take my punishment like a man ;P

its against the rules for a current player to negotiate for club ownership present or future.

Says tips from McGwire helped him increase his HR total this year. Its batting tips, but I think Matt may be a little naieve at how this MIGHT sound. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/baseball/mlb/09/21/bc.bbn.holliday.shotstr.ap/index.html

Goose said in a recent interview that he thinks Joba should stay in the setup role next year. What do you guys think? I know they always say that starting pitching is key but damn Joba makes such a huge difference late in the game...

I doubt it was Ortiz. Somehow I just don't think he's on the juice, but anyway back to his weight. But yeah I do know how big 260 is. I also know Ortiz is like 6'3" or something.

Groundbreaking news!!! http://www.nypost.com/seven/09212007/sports/study__roids_increase_hrs.htm

no I'm not arguing about HFA or anythign liek that. My position is that Francona is more focused on the postseason than the regular season and as such has given the impression that these games aren't that important. From what I've seen, it seems that the team has picked up on this.

How can you say Francona is trying to win these games when he makes it plain that he sacrificed a game by leaving Gagne in? Yes, he is much more interested in what's going to happen in the postseason even if it means it will cause directly a loss or two in the regular season. If that's not the definition of "not trying", I'm not sure what is. and yes I know Francona doesn't represent the players, but he is the manager if he doesn't care enough about these games, why should the players? Lugo's lack of hustle was just a perfect example.

I'm sorry but this is just silly. Gom, I commend you fro doing what you thought was sticking up for our guy, but the thought that rician was dissing on Joba's dad or whatever never once enetered my mind. Personally I thought the comparison was funny as hell. Next time I see Joba raise his hands I'm personally looking for a big white x on his stomach.
