  1. I thought the article would be about the Yankees going on a spending spree and signing Texiera, Sabbathia, Sheets and Manny. That would be encouraging, and I could see that happening. After the disastrous 2006, the Red Sox FO paid $200 million for 3 players and went on to win a championship.
  2. How much help should we expect from the Yankees?
  3. Byrd has three wins for the Sox. He was a good and timely pickup.
  4. Ballgame ovah! Cue Dirty Water.
  5. Millar can still pull anyone's fastball. He'd be a good guy to come off the bench against Mo. Wait... the yankees aren't going to the Playoffs. Nevermind
  6. Got him with a good slider after a tough AB
  7. Has Drew taken any BP?
  8. Any word on when Drew and Lowell will return to the lineup?
  9. Coco with the hit for the go ahead run.
  10. Nice poke to right field by Bay. Jason Payton outsmarted himself on that ball and turned it into a double for Minny Manny Lowry.
  11. Update: 11-9 in the 6th.
  12. Pitchers who hit 200 innings do so by avoiding injury. Arroyo has a very good record for durability by hitting 200+ innings 4 years in a row. Wakefield has broken down in each of the last 3 years and didn't hit 200 innings. It's a durabilty issue. Thank you for making my point more clear.
  13. Wins decide pennants and championships. They also seem to be very important in determining HOF election for pitchers. Arroyo fits the back of the rotation role for any team. He eats innings. He's regularly over 200 innings (going on 4 years in a row) and wins 10+ games. The innings from the 4th or 5th spot in the rotation really helps keep a bull pen fresh helping to hide some of its deficiencies. We haven't gotten 200 innings from Wakefield since 2005 and he won't get there in 2008.. Dice K will fall short of 200 innings too as will Beckett.
  14. But lowering an ERA by more than 1 1/2 runs in 2 months is significant. Have you seen the bandbox that he pitches in? I think he has been a very reliable bck of the rotation guy. he never misses a start and he puts up double digit wins 4 out of 5 years. He should win 15+ games for a really bad Reds team. That's pretty good and frankly, it surprises me. I, for one, have under-rated him.
  15. The point is that when looking at statistics in connection with my various fantasy teams I noticed that he was doing far better than I had expected. I thought I would share the information on this forum. I thought it might interest some people on this forum, because he was a Red Sox player. I also give updates ocassionally about Manny and other former Sox players. Does this bother you?
  16. 13-10 4.97 ERA. Where is Wily Mo. BTW I supported the trade when it was made, but it reinforced for me that you never trade an accomplished young starter that has won 10+ games a couple of years in a row for a guy who is a position player who is considered a project with raw ability. What was I thinking. I am happy for Arroyo.
  17. Rookie got hosed on that call. Did you see how long it took for the ump to call it. It's almost as if he looked at who was batting before he made the call. Lowrie is having a rough day at the plate too, but he still managed an RBI.
  18. When are Lowell and Drew coming back?
  19. Yankees raising the white flag for today. Some guy Aceves is pitching against the Jays.
  20. I wish they would blow out his shoulder, so I never have to watch him pitch again.
  21. Cora hit that about as far as he can hit it. Warning track power. Cash singles. 2 on and 22out again. This time they get a timely hit from Ellsbury to score a run.
  22. 5 LOB's through 2 innings. Well hit balls ended each inning.
  23. Damn Cora is slow.
