  1. Again, why did we opt for Smoltz instead of Pedro? The age and time removed from surgery were factors that should have weighed heavily in Pedro's favor.
  2. I'm so glad that we have a third first baseman.
  3. I do wonder why they signed Smoltz for $5.5 million who had arm surgery last season instead of signing Pedro who is almost two years removed from his surgery and who is about 5 years younger.
  4. It's going to be tough to sit Lowell the way he is rolling. Tek and Ortiz will have to spend more time on the bench.
  5. Remy has been out with Depression. It's not a fun thing, but it is better than being out with complications of lung cancer. It looks like he is on his way back.
  6. Screw Smoltz. He gets paid $5.5 million to get himself in shape for more than the first half of the season, and then he blows the team apart with his consistently bad performance. Now, he refuses the teams request to accept a minor league assignment and to consider helping out of the bullpen. How come respect for players always means $ and there is never any respect going back in the other direction. I guess he figures that he owes the team nothing for it patience and coddling. What a waste. So much for the great professionalism of John Smoltz that we read and heard about so much. He's as big a diva as anyone else.
  7. Because Hardy's contract is not expensive, the Brewers would probably want some good prospects in return. If we get him, we'll be getting a guy in the midst of a horrendous slump. Guzman on the other hand is playing well, and he'd only cost money not prospects.
  8. Interesting. I wonder if he has been waived. http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/extras/extra_bases/2009/08/brewers_demote.html
  9. I hope the rangers sign him to pitch this weekend.
  10. More luck for the Yankees as the Blue Jays give them 5 outs and counting in the first inning. The score is 1-0 Yankees and counting.
  11. Yes, the reverse lock theory.
  12. Youk got tired of being the guy with the target on his back, so he sent a message. We have three first baseman, so of all the positions to lose a starter at first will cause the least fall off offensively. Youk would have had a tough job topping what Lowell did yesterday.
  13. Get the right mojo for tomorrow and I'll see you guys on the GT. Goodnight.
  14. Good win. It's always nice getting a win when Lester or Beckett don't pitch.
  15. It will be a challenge getting the lead down to 4 by September 1st, but if they do,... watch out.
  16. Tampa is losing 3-0 to the Angels in the 6th.
  17. Joba is one of the luckiest pitchers that I have seen in recent years. No matter how badly he pitches, the Yanks always seem to bail him out of losses.
  18. Maybe since he was looking to bury it in Youk's ribs he didn't see the need to turn up the velocity to 95. Getting hit at 80 smarts a bit too. Jackson, I think you are acting peculiar tonight in light of havving a 5 1/2 game lead and a late inning comeback win tonight. I think this Sox team still has you worried.
