    It took a monumental blockbuster of a trade to clean it up. The found the right trading partner that was desperate to add big priced assets and they took all of our big contracts. That happens once in a very long time. It was a huge mess that was cleaned up in that trade, but the mess should not be underestimated.

    In fairness, the best way to judge a FO is on the W-L record. I spend my time evaluating specific moves, but there is more that goes into the job than the moves that we see on the field. Based on the team's performance, he deserves a lot of credit. He turned around a team that had been spiraling down the drain since September 2011. He was successful in changing the course of the team, but we will not know if he has built something that will be consistently good and sustainable for a few years. As for his predecessor, he had a knack for destroying things instead of building them. His record in Chicago in the W-L column has been horrendous. People are giving him high marks for rebuilding the organization, but if he is any good at all, he should be able to manage a .500 record in year 3. He should have traded the Shark. He could have gotten a big haul for him. Theo never could evaluate pitching.

    Alternating Lefty-Righty in the middle of your lineup is okAy if the hitters are on par with each other. I don't believe in sticking an inferior. Hitter in between two superior hitters to achieve lefty-righty. If the Red Sox had kept AGon, he and Ortiz would have been the 3 and 4 hitters. No right should have been in between them. Batting the consecutively gave you your strongest lineup.

    Yes, let's rate the suits. What are the sabremetrics for the FO? They don't have baseball cards so let their corporate bosses rate them. The team is playing great so he gets credit as does the rest of the FO organization and coaches and trainers.

    Oh yeah. I am actively seeking them out. LOL!!

    ^ This. LOL!!

    I was just joking. It livened things up a bit, but I will abide by your request.

    This place looks like a graffiti ghetto or a some kind of ransom note with these random typefaces. Have we no standards.
  9. a700hitter
    Both of you stop f***ing around with the typeface!

    They will need to get him some rest down the stretch to get him healthy for the playoffs.
  11. a700hitter
    Good riddance to him.
  12. a700hitter
    Yes!! Sweet!! This hurts the Yankees much more than if they had simply lost 7-2. We gave away the game and then took it back against their legend.

    Sometimes I get the feeling that the Japanese pitchers have too much reverence for Ichiro.
  14. a700hitter
    Heater please.
  15. a700hitter
    Overbay can't bunt.
  16. a700hitter
    Old man Alex had no chance against Koji.
  17. a700hitter
    Carp in to play first.
  18. a700hitter
    It might be a hate crime to fire a Native American.
  19. a700hitter
    Can Snyder play first base?
  20. a700hitter
    They burned Logan for no reason.
  21. a700hitter
    Risky move sending Ells with one out. Usually, Ichiro would gun him down from there.
  22. a700hitter
    I thought West was going to punch Victorino. Also, I thought Ells would be gunned down by Ichiro, but he short-hopped Romine.
  23. a700hitter
    The Yanks will be 1 game in back of them in the loss column if they win tonight and Tampa loses.
  24. a700hitter
    ADA that's why

    By the time Breslow released the throw, Soriano was half way to second base. I don't think Nava gets him if he catches the ball. Wow, that was completely f***ing stupid by Soriano. LOL!! That was Nava base running.
