    WTF kind of late inning bullpen gives up a 4 spot to a struggling team in the 9th inning of a playoff game.

    Leyland knew that he didn't look right. He should have given him the hook after the Ichiro HR.
  3. a700hitter
    Ichiro was such a good pickup for the yanks. He is the only one hitting on their team.
  4. a700hitter
    I guess Valverde doesn't look right to Leyland, because with a 4 run lead they have Dotel backing him up in the pen.

    I think Tulo is a possibility if the Rockies are looking to dump a salary. If the Rockies are looking to go in a different direction and need payroll flexibility, we could probably get him without gutting the farm.

    He's a tremendous talent. Bradley might be a really good ballplayer, I'll need to see him playing with the big boys before I am ready to say that he has that level of talent. The only thing Ells doesn't have is a strong arm. His other tools are plus and his speed is a lethal weapon.

    As you know, I live among the Yankees fans in NY. One of my best friends, a big Yankee fan, told me that when the umps huddled and reversed those calls, that is when he knew the Sox would finally win. He said that up to that point in his memory, the Yankees had always benefited from blown calls.

    We have nothing to matchup with their needs which are in the pitching department.
  9. a700hitter
    It's the MFY's. With the exception of the two reversed calls in game 6 of the 2004 ALCS, they always get the calls.

    The problem with the 2012 team was definitely not that they were old. The 2012 Yankees are old, but that has not been a problem for them. The problem with the 2012 Red Sox was that they stunk-- plain ans simple. The solution is going younger. The solution is getting good players both veterans and young players. It's probably easier to make some good choices trading and signing good veterans than fixing a lousy farm system. They will need to do both but the latter will take time.

    I am not convinced that Aviles is a good hitter. He's not even as good as Scutaro.
  12. a700hitter
    Not to pick nits but Ortiz was only 28 in 2004. Almost the entire pitching staff was 31 and over and there was a lot of money invested in them.
  13. a700hitter
    It's just not an effective argument to bring up Jeter as being in anyway analogous to the Red Sox SS situation with Aviles. I realize that you didn't compare them offensively, but Aviles doesn't compare, not even remotely, to Jeter in any aspect of the game so bringing up Jeter's name in stating your position does not strengthen your argument.

    Cherington in an interview in today's Globe discussed how the FO had strayed from its discipline. He didn't mean that they were relying on high price veterans and free agents at the expense of more young home grown players. He clearly stated that there has been a big problem of not bringing in the right big priced veterans. The article states that: and The 2004 team had a number of players 31 and over including: Varitek, Millar, Mueller, Manny, 4 the team's 5 starting pitchers and almost the entire bullpen. More than half of the 25 man roster in 2007 was 31 and over.
  15. a700hitter
    I am as big a Yankee hater as there is, but to compare any aspect of Mike Aviles' game to Derek Jeter is pure foolishness. Aviles is a hack who shouldn't be starting at SS for any MLB team.

    If Ellsbury slid properly with his arms and hands in front of him and in the air, he would not have dislocated his shoulder. He put himself in a vulnerable position with a slide that was fundamentally very poor.
  17. a700hitter
    Me too and age has mellowed me.
  18. a700hitter
    I can see the Sox big off season acquisition being this puke Descalso. He'll be this year's Punto.
  19. a700hitter
    Storen was having a heart attack. He needed a diaper on the mound. f***ing loser.
  20. a700hitter
    it's good to weed out the chokers before going to the NLCS. I would throw my TV out the window if I had to watch the Nats choke away a WS to the Skanks if they get that far.
  21. a700hitter
    They finished 9th out of 16 in attendance. The Cubs with 101 losses and the Rockies with 98 losses outdrew the Nats.
  22. a700hitter
    The Cards are doing to the Nats what they did to the Rangers in the WS last year.
  23. a700hitter
    Hey, do you know what October is to us Red Sox fans? Football season.
  24. a700hitter
    Oh Boy-- a game of inches.
  25. a700hitter
    I think the Ump should have rung up Freese on the check swing.
