    Remind me. I thought we tied for the division lead despite having lost Pedro, Lowe, and Cabrera from the Championship team and replacing them with Matt Clement, David Wells and Rent-a-wreck. This time around everyone is returning.

    The back end of the Red Sox rotation is better than the Yankees now, and the Sox have the possibility of adding Colon very soon and Schilling in the second half. While I don't expect to see a productive Schilling, I do expect Colon to be a very nice addition to the back end of the rotation. The Yankees have nothing to add to the rotation outside of a trade, except Joba, and that would take a wrecking ball to your bullpen. As for the Sox pen, in addition to the Papelbon and Okajima at the end of the pen, MDC is better than anything the Yankees have leading up to Joba. Similarly, Timlin is still a very reliable member of the pen and with his experience, he to is better than anything the Yanks have except for Mo and Joba. Although Lopez is a puss bag, he is way better than Billy Traber who is completely useless. Finally, the head case Tavarez has good versatility and eats a good deal of innings. Occasionally, he has a good outing. His versatility alone makes him more valuable than thos two s*** bags Farnsworth and Latroy Hawkins.

    I saw him in Spring Training. He threw free and easy. His long tosses were something that you don't see too many pitchers do. He stands in front of the wall in dead center field and long tosses to almost the foul line, and he is not lobbing the ball. He is gunning it. In the game that I saw, he had excellent velocity on his fastball and he was burying his slider. If his arm stays healthy, I'd rather have him as my #4 or 5 than Moose, Hughes or kennedy this year.

    Let's not forget that I urinated at the new site shortly after the ground-breaking ceremony. They are doomed.

    With 2 rookie starters and an old Moose, the Yankees will need more than a two man bullpen, and they just don't have any depth.
  6. a700hitter
    They are comparable in results to this point, because Beckett has pitched only one game and Colon hasn't pitched at all. There is a big talent and depth advantage for the Red Sox staff over the Yankees in both the rotation and the bullpen. You are kidding yourself if you think otherwise. You have a two man bullpen complemented by kids and pigs.

    This will probably be the highlight of the 2008 Yankee season, because they are going nowhere.
  8. a700hitter
    Yeah, he was taking HGH to get bigger and fatter or to physically recover from his 4 ABs. He'll be bitch-slapping Yankee pitchers when the weather gets warm

    Why would Francona put Timlin in a tie game in the 7th against the Yankees for his first game of the year? f***ing Francona!
  10. a700hitter
    f***ing Timlin
  11. a700hitter
    f***ing Giambi.
  12. a700hitter
    Stupid rookie mistake by Gonzalez getting caught off the base on a line drive with the bases juiced and one out.
  13. a700hitter
    Nice catch by Crisp on the gap shot by Giambi.
  14. a700hitter
    Right on JayHawk Bill. You have backed up with statistics what I have always known to be true. Draft choices are like lottery tickets. Very, very few become stars.

    Fan favorite, Ellsbury is not doing anything to distinguish himself and win the CF job. He has basically been unopposed since the first week of ST with Crisp missing significant time and he has not seized the moment. He is not making the choice of trading Crisp an easy decision.
  16. a700hitter
    If he is healthy and throwing mid-90's, he will be better than anyone in the Yankee rotation, but he'll be the Sox 4th or 5th starter.
  17. a700hitter
    Is he listed in the failed prospect thread, because Dick Pole was expected to be a stud.
  18. a700hitter
    Nice grab by Manny against the wall!! All glove no hit...Manny!
  19. a700hitter
    Wells owns Beckett. The Ynakees should try to get him.
  20. a700hitter
    Beckett looks like he got squeezed on Ball 2.
  21. a700hitter
    Walking the #9 man has to piss off a pitcher.
  22. a700hitter
    Did Remy just say that Ellsbury is 4 for 4 against Hallady with 2 HRs? That's impressive.
  23. a700hitter
    Jacoby clocked that pitch. He has deceiving power.
  24. a700hitter
    I see that Joe Girardi is in the dugout today. What a gamer! I guess he has decided that he has pampered himself enough and that he can sit on the bench with a cold. He's tough.
  25. a700hitter
    Nice hook to Wells. That has to buckle your knees after a 98 mph heater. I'd be bailing out to the dugout.
