    I was just breaking your balls. I don't even remember any of your trades except the one with me, and that was not one-sided. Seriously, you've got a stacked team. It's going to be tough to beat.

    Pedro with 6 shutout innings against the Mets on 3 hits. He's still in the game.

    I heard that Pedroia's HR went to RF. Is that correct? Where did it go?

    Two games means Brad Penny is lighting up the NL? In 2008, he had a 6+ ERA in the NL West. His career ERA in the NL is over 4. That's lighting up the league?

    I admitted that AL lineups are better due to the DH not some massive talent gap. The talent gap is not as big as it once was and it is shrinking. There's no reason to address the pitcher's chart, because pitchers stats will always get worse moving to the AL due to the fact that there are different rules. There is not a corresponding long list of hitters that go from the AL to the NL who have prospered from the move. If the pitchers are so much worse in the NL, there should be a corresponding list of hitters as long as the list of pitchers. As for Embree, he had an AL job in 2007 and 2008 and he pitched better in those years than he is pitching now in the NL. His 2007 ERA was 2 runs lower than his 2009 NL ERA and his 2008 AL ERA is about a run lower than his NL ERA. Also, he had 17 saves in the AL in 2007 at age 37.

    No one is going to come to the AL and pich better, because you face 9 real hitters. Their ERA's will most certainly go up and they will not be able to pitch deep into games. We got a 37 year old Schilling from the NL. His ERA went up in the AL, but he was still a top pitcher that first year and he was a CY Young candidate. Everything is relative. Yes their ERA's go up, but a good pitcher in the NL will be a good pitcher in the AL. Their numbers will be worse, but overall AL pitchers numbers are worse. Also, the list of hitters who switched to the NL and did better was very small and unimpressive. It proved nothing.

    They play under different rules that allows pitchers one easy out even in the best NL lineup. If I were a pitcher, I would never sign with an AL team. Essentially, two spots are rendered useless, because there is little reason to give the #8 hitter anything to hit. J.D. Batting 8th for an NL team would never get to swing the bat. I don't think that the talent gap between the leagues is that great. The NL may even have more young talent than the AL, but the AL game is very tough on pitchers.

    Consistency in the third spot is a necessity. Consistency is tough for pansies.

    I think Lowell moves better than Lou Gehrig.

    When does Felix beome arbitration eligible, free agent eligible?

    I'd say that the difference between Tito and Girardi in the regular season is that Tito is prone to make mistakes by not making in game moves. He almost never PH's and he always seems to leave the starter in until the other team gets 7 runs. My observation of Girardi is that he makes panic moves even during the regular season. He makes plenty of moves, but often they make little sense.
