  1. Dipre and I have been teasing each other for days, if not longer, about Beltre/ Bay. Do you need footnotes with explanations?
  2. As a hitter, you know that Lester is close to unhittable tonight. You never know what a guy is going to bring to the mound from the bullpen (unless it is Mariano), and you really don't know what 3 guys are going to bring. Lineups grind out ABs to get a pitcher like Lester out of the game and get to the pen, but I guess you have missed that strategy session.
  3. You clearly know nothing about hitting.
  4. Was there an either or choice involved? No. Do you think the Tampa dugout is thrilled that Lester is out of the game?
  5. You are on land. You can save one. Who do you save?
  6. If Drew and Beltre were drowning and you had only one life preserver, who would you save?
  7. He's off the juice. He hasn't had any power in years.
  8. 106 pitches by Lester. We will need 3 innings from the pen. Not good.
  9. Bay has been slumping and his OPS is higher than that of a red hot logjam man. The two can't be compared offensively. Bay has another SB on those achy knees tonight. Nice play by logjam.
  10. It's about time for the banjo hitter to go deep. Damn!
  11. When Ortiz takes the outside pitch up the gap that is when he is really in a groove. He's just reacting to the pitches, waiting back and letting his hands do the work. Too bad his hands are so slow. He will start getting pitched around. Tito should move Youk to the #3 hole, with Ortiz behind him and the switch hitting VMart 5th. Youkilis and Ortiz are the two best on the team. They should be in the 3,4 holes.
  12. You clearly have no understanding of mojo.
  13. He had a bad injury in 2008 ruining the remainder of his 2008 season. His slow start in 2009 was a carryover from the wrist injury. He hit gangbusters from June on in 2009. His slow start this season was blown completely out of proportion. Other players around the league got off to worse starts including Drew, but Drew played everyday so he broke out sooner. Teixeira is still slumping. It happens to power hitters who like the hot weather. Your suspicions? OMG, give the idiot Yankee fans some unsubstantiated amo. Do you think he started taking Roids in the middle of April and they kicked in with improved performance in two weeks. I don't think they work that way. His bat speed was there all along. His timing was not. Two weeks into the season and everyone was ready to send him to the glue factory and it was all over the news. It got into his head a bit, and he had to fight through it. Him hitting again was very foreseeable. The question was when and whether the Sox had the patience to wait while Lowell was still on the team.
  14. Pena has 5 HRs in 29 ABs against Lester. That will be his biggest challenge.
