    Popup to RF with 2nd and 3rd and 1 out. The jays are f***ing it up again.

    I hate their commercials

    I guess Tito wanted him to go 5 to get the opportunity for a win.:thumbdown

    I'd try a trade. They are out of time for experimenting.

    Tavarez is a 4 inning pitcher. That's about it.

    jays got lucky getting ARod to hit into the DP with 1st and 3rd
  7. a700hitter
    Double is good too

    It would be great if Lugo could hit a grand salami.
  9. a700hitter
    It looks like you were right. They seem to be clones.

    Youk finding his level which is .260-.280 not .310. He's like Brian Daubach but with out the power and less streaky.

    I am pretty sure that it hit him in his vagina.

    Abreu is the better player.

    Abreu is the better player. You did not reflect in your stats that Abreu has 12 stolen bases to 1 for Drew. If nothing else, Abreu is the beter deal because he has the shorter commitment.

    The 2003 team didn't win the championship either. The reason? Pitching. Enter Schilling and Foulke. Raise the flag. The pitchers have decided that they'll take their chances trying to get one of them out instead of both as they tried to do in past years. Challenge both of them and you increase your chances of giving up a long ball. Put one of them on 1B and you eliminate the chance of one long ball right there. Then go after Manny. Manny is a great hitter, but not the kind of long ball hitter that Ortiz is. If he gets a single, Papi goes to second. If he doubles Papi goes to third. No big deal for the pitcher. He's stayed away from the two run bomb or back to backers. Maybe Tito should consider flip flopping them. Force them to walk Manny and pitch to Ortiz.

    Griffey would be a great 4th OF who could get plenty of playing time in place of Drew when his hammy acts up. He could spell Coco as well as Manny and Ortiz. Right now we are turning to crap like Hinske, WMP and a rookie to take those ABs. I'd feel much better if Griffey took those ABs.

    The answer is never, but I am not in the mood for arguing with all the Youkilis groupies about trading him. Moving him for an upgrade has ben an obvious move to me for some time. I've posted quite a few times that we should sell high on Youk. Unfortunately, I think the FO is in love with his cheap salary and they view him as a good value. He is a good value, which is why you can get some top talent in return for him.

    There aren't many hitters available either. If we know the team needs a pitcher, it's not an excuse for the FO to say that none are available. Everyone is available for the right price. Some will cost money, others prospects. It's up to them to get it done. The Yankees filled two holes last year with Abreu and Lidle and it didn't mortgage their future. Lots of FO apologists bought the cover story planted in the papers about the prohibitive expense of Abreu. That was proved to be hypocritical BS when they signed Drew for megabucks for a long term contract ending after the conclusion of this decade. A slumping Abreu is better than the Drew we are seeing and the Yanks only extended him one year. No excuses for the FO this year. They spent a lot on this team. With the right reinforcing, it could go deep into October. They need to get what is needed. There will be no excuses if they sit on thier hands and bad luck and this team to implode and goes home after September. If that happens, the responsibility lies right at the feet of the FO.

    Last year we were lamenting about the #5 hole, so Theo went and got Drew. Where will this additional bat play the field. Everyone here thinks Youk is a god, so that's out of the question. Pedroia's been doing okay with the bat. How much of an offensive upgrade can we expect to get at 3rd this year. Manny is staying. Too much money is invested in Drew to sit him down. That leaves CF and SS. Lugo is finally starting to hit, so we might as well live through his hot streak after suffering through his slump. That leaves CF and a back up catcher, which is difficult because of the knuckleball. I don't see the big openings on this team for a hitter. On the other hand, the 3,4,and 5 holes in the starting rotation are becoming like great gaping chasm where games are sacrificed to the baseball gods. It's the pitching. With the Red Sox it is always the pitching.

    On WEEI, they are debating the reasons for Drew's lack of impact. Whatever the reason, he hasn't caused the slightest ripple for this team.
  25. a700hitter
    You and I see eye to eye on all of this.
