Vlad is one of the dumber baserunners that you'll ever see.
-
What is the percentage of dominant pitchers that return to dominance after major surgery in their 30's? Taking a 1 year flyer on a lame armed pitcher is one thing, but spending $15 million is way overboard.
-
Three years? What if he never returns to form? How reasonable of a cost would that be?
-
If I was going to take a risk on an injured pitcher, I'd go with Pedro who will be 3 years removed from surgery. I could see him being able to make 25-30 starts next season. Brandon Webb is just coming off surgery, so he'll probably need a full year to get back to full strength. Why should we let him spend that year on our DL. Harden is practically a permanent resident of the DL, and he never pitches for a full saeson.

Paul Blair used to play very shallow. It was almost impossible to drop something in front of him. If you tried to beat him, he could track down almost anything over his head. Ellsbury gets back on balls very well, and let's face it, there isn't that far to go in left center. I'd have him come in about 3 or 4 steps.
-
What are your thoughts about having him play more shallow in CF? I think it would help.
-
It doesn't hurt that your team beats him like a drum.

http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/baseball/other_mlb/view/20091024padres_hire_jed_hoyer_as_general_manager/ How will this effect Theo's pursuit of Adrian Gonzalez? I think it makes it less likely that the Sox will be able to acquire Gonzalez.

From today's Boston Herald: http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/baseball/other_mlb/view/20091025sox_hot_stove_fired_up_early/ IMO, he goes back on balls better than he comes in on balls. He should be playing more shallow to compensate for his weakness coming in on balls. Vlad's winning hit in game 3 of the ALDS should have been caught. Ellsbury was playing way too deep and as usual his jump was very late.

They definitely lead the league in horse faces.

He's got one coming to him. Hopefully, Horse Face's luck has run out.

Saturday night may be the game where Karma comes back to bite Pettitte in the ass for being a religious hypocrite, liar and back-stabbing friend.

I watch most Yankee games. I have been saying it since last season that Girardi is an idiot prone to panic moves in important games. As tonight illustrated, he can panic into under-managing as easily as he can panic into over-managing. 228 is completely right about Girardi. If the win the Championship, it will be because the team was so strong that they overcame most of his terrible decisions.

So you voted for a Lib
-
The Lib answers political commentary with a personal insult. Dru up and blow away.
-
The Lord Giveth and Girardi Taketh Away. He has blown both games in this series. What a dope.
-
The Angels win in spite of Scioscia.
-
Scioscia vs. girardi in a matchup of idiots.
-
Scioscia is an idiot.
-
Scioscia with two stupid moves in the inning. This may put the yankees over the top.
-
Walking the tying run? Do they PR and get in a position where a single ties the game? Weren't the odds better that ARod would not go yard.
-
Scioscia made the first colossally stupid move by removing Lackey. Girardi answered that stupid move with a stupid move of his own. Scioscia is attempting to answer back by removing Weaver who was throwing great for the Choker Fuentes.
