10/11 vs. Angels: ALDS GAME 3
a700hitter replied to MANNYHOF24's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
I'm hoping that I have to eat crow about Buchholz starting in an elimination game. He has 1 victory in 7 starts against teams with winning records, so I don't think he has earned the opportunity. -
it makes me sick that Manny is winning playoff games for someone other than the Sox. The fact that i despise the Dodgers makes it even worse. Thank goodness he is not playing for the Yankees.

You beat us in two playoff series and we beat you in one. The series that we won achieved something that had never been done before or since, so I don't know what decade you are talking about. -

When Rincon was obviously blowing up in the 8th, he had no place else to turn. He'd already used his only other reliable guy. He was out of options. If he'd have had Balfour, he might have gone to him when it was becoming obvious that Rincon was s***ing the bed. Did the move cost him the game? Neither you nor I know how it would have turned out if he had kept Santana in the game, but it was a terribly wrong and stupid move.

I mainly watch the Twins play the Yankees and the Red Sox, and when they play the Yanks he makes lots of wrong moves. That's what I am saying about him. I don't care what a great baseball guy he is and how much he gets out of his talent. He is only relevant to me when the Twins play the Yanks and teh Sox, and from what I have observed over the last several years is that the Twins would be no worse off if he skipped all the Yankee games.

Game time temperature is expected to be 31 degrees with snow. Rather than reschedule the game tomorrow afternnon when it might be a little warmer, they have scheduled it for 10 p.m. EDT. f***ing idiots!

When Doji has a weak argument, which is just about all the time, he tries to take you off on tangents to argue those instead of the main point. When he agrees with me, I usually rethink my position.

This is a pet peeve of mine. I don't know why all stadiums built in this day and age don't have retractable roofs. If small market teams like Toronto and Milwaukee have them, why were two new stadiums built in NY without roofs at tremendous expense to the taxpayers? Corruption.

I am agreeing with you again. You are really getting smart. Soon posters will be calling you old-timer. We don't know how much of Bay's production in Pittsburgh came when his team was down by a bunch of runs and out of the game. Plus, it is just a much lower pressure environment.

They've just posted an article confirming the postponement.

MLB.com is already showing game 3 as postponed. Is that right?

Excellent point. Bay is a very good hitter with plus power, but he is not a great hitter. He just isn't. Manny is a great hitter. Pujols is a great hitter. These guys are few and far between in the history of the game. We have a bunch of plus hitters which is about the best we can do (stack the lineup with high OBP plus hitters from 1 to 8), because great hitters don't grow on trees. They are very difficult to find no matter how many draft picks you have. I realize that the situation with Manny had become untenable and he had to go, but I think the FO could have done a better job. They let the situation deteriorate. Manny is an all time great hitter, not a very good hitter like Bay or Youk or Drew. He's an all-time great. When you are lucky enough to get a guy like that, you do your best to keep them and not let them go help another team win. This FO could hardly wait to move Manny. They had been trying to move him for years. Thankfully, they had been unsuccessful in their attempts, or their wouldn't be 2 banners hanging over Fenway.(Please save the "you have to move on" comment, because that's just stupid.)

True. It is really uncanny how bad he is against the Yankees.
-
He may be a good manager insofar as he gets the msot out of his players and he has his team play sound fundamentals, but he is a terrible in-game manager.

It's got nothing to do with feelings. It's got to do with respecting the rules and not making unprovoked personal attacks. You are a very immature person to hold grudges for more than a month for losing a silly contest. I guess your ass is still sore from the ass-raping that my team administered to yours. So you like a baseball manager and dislike an internet poster without ever having met either one. What aloser.

Well, I am hoping that Buchholz comes up big and I have to eat lots of crow. I think game 3 will be a high scoring game and if the Sox win it will be because they bludgeon the Angels.
