  1. It looks like most people wnat to see KC/Cleveland. A few people want to see Cleveland/Yankees. I wonder if those were Jacko and another Yankee fan.
  2. I am getting it in English. Maybe you turned on SAP by accident.
  3. He threw a strike to Ortiz throwing out the first pitch. Not bad for a 74 year old. It looked like he really enjoyed it too.
  4. The song of the day pisses me off a bit. I am going to delete it from my post. And replace it with something more appropriate.
  5. It's a non-displaced fracture of a non-weight-bearing bone. He had been playing on it. Give him a lanacane shot like they gave Schilling the entire 2004 season. One way or another, I think he will be back playing this week. It's an opportunity to get back in sync for the playoffs which will be his showcase for free agency.
  6. The last regular season at Fenway as the team continues its drive for Home Field advantage. Game time: 1:35 p.m. TV/Radio: NESN/WEEI Stat of the Day: The Red Sox are 72-10 when they score five runs or more. Notes: The Red Sox are 10-8 vs. the Blue Jays this season entering today's final game against them ... Doubront has not pitched since Sept. 6. This is his third start against the Blue Jays this season ... Dustin Pedroia needs one home run to reach 100 for his career ... The Red Sox have Monday and Thursday off this week, the final week of the regular season. They play at Colorado Tuesday-Wednesday and wrap up the regular season starting Friday in Baltimore. Song of the Day: Edit: The Carl Yastrzemski Song by Jess Cain.
  7. It would be interesting to meet Tito in playoff series.
  8. He got caught once and made a mea culpa, which was obviously worthless. He is climbing up the record books and ruining the integrity of the games records and statistics. He has made hundreds of millions of dollars cheating the game and the fans. ARod is no victim. On the other hand Selig and the Yankees are hypocrites looking to make an example of him when he can no longer perform at an elite level. The Yankees just want to save money. When he was hitting 50 bombs a year, they looked the other way.
  9. Same thought here.
  10. It's a shame that one of the longest-standing records in the game (Gehrig's Grand Slam record) had to fall to a notorious cheater. Thank you Bud Selig for your contribution to destroying the integrity of a great games records.
  11. Who do we want to see in the Wild Card? Edit: There are 5 additional possibilities that wouldn't fit in the poll. Texas/KC Texas/Yankees Baltimore/KC Baltimore/Yankees KC/Yankees
  12. Washington gave away game 6 of thatWorld Series at least twice. He outsmarted himself and lost a championship. Grady Little got fired for far less. If Washington had done that in Boston he would have been fired before the clubhouse had been cleared.
  13. That's great. I've never been to a clinching game. Very cool.
  14. It will be interesting to see Farrrell's bullpen rotation in the last week. I don't think Taz is a lock to be the 8th inning guy in the playoffs. It will be interesting to see how Dempster gets used. He has experience as a closer. I winder is Farrell would consider using him in the 8th.
  15. They shouldn't. There is no way of knowing that they were clean. Other guys are being kept out on suspicion without evidence. No one from that era is above suspicion. If they get in right away, it will be beause the writer love to suck pinstripe dick.
  16. No one from the steroid era is going in for a long time.
  17. But he is a Yankee and they won championships so he should be in.
  18. LOL!! You should know by now that I don't expect them to be infallible. I hope for competence or better.
  19. His career should be misremembered.
  20. Yep, true, but none were 1 inning pitchers and none of them were locks on the Hall either.
  21. No player who was a 1- inning pitcher for his entire career has made it into the HOF. They are not full contributors. If Mo makes it, Trevor Hoffman's career was pretty close to Mo's. He'd have to go too. Mo will make it, because everyone feints at the sight of pinstripes. He has been built up a a mythological figure by the NY press, and the Yankees won championships. If he played in San Diego, no one would think about him after retirement. Let's face it, if he was a HOF pitching talent, he'd have been a starter. One inning guy, but a Yankee, so he will go to the HOF. What's next career Pinch Hitters in the Hall. It would happen if the Yankees played NL rules.
  22. Sometimes organizations hype prospects with he intent of building their trade value. In the case of Lars, I think the FO believed their own hype. They made a big mistake. They had him hyped pretty good at one point and he could have been a major piece in a trade package. They held him and he crashed to earth along with his trade value. They did not maximize the value of that asset.
  23. It's a 1 inning job. BFD. Closers should have a more difficult time getting to the HOF than DHs. His numbers against his biggest rival are not that impressive. Admittedly, he was the most consistent and steadying force that I have seen in the back-end of a pen for such a long period of time. The Yankees will experience tremendous fluctuations in performance from year to year going forward due to the unpredictable nature of BP pitchers. As for the HOF, he has been romanticized way too much. He's a 1 inning pitcher, not a full contributor.
  24. People were starting to blame you for the team's downfall and 3 year absence from the playoffs.
