  1. I just love to watch Lowell play defense. The guy is almost flawless. Foulke continues to throw well. He has put together an impressive string of outings. To bad he did n't get healthy earlier. His velocity hasn't been bad. I would n't mind this Foulke in the bullpen next year.
  2. He's young and really talented, and he's still learning. He's proven that he could go 200 innings in a season without wearing down. I will not mind at all having him in the rotation for the next 3 or 4 years.
  3. I never said that anyone should be fired, but I do feel strongly that the FO should be held accountable. I think today many more people think the FO didn't do a very good job than when I started criticizing them months ago.
  4. MDC's stock is falling. He hasn't looked good in some time.
  5. Real baseball fans would enjoy it, but MLB and the networks would hate it.
  6. He's having a little fun in a meaningless game.
  7. Randy Johnson might miss the playoffs. http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/6014862 This might actually help the Yankees by moving Wang and Moose to the first two slots in the rotation.
  8. Yes, I may have to change it to: 2004--The most famous post-season Choke since Luca Brasi in The Godfather I think I like that better.
  9. Please put away your pom poms. What do we need to know? We didn't re-sign him. He went to the Yankees. They have the best record in the league and we suck. How unusual is it today for a star player to make $13 million/year? If they had to overpay him by $2-3 million a year, it would have been worth it to keep him from the Yankees.
  10. I live in NY, so I listen to a lot of Yankee games. I usually catch the begining of each of their games on the way home from work, but I listen to many of their games to conclusion. I've probably heard Sterling call more games than anyone on this site. I remember him on WMCA (I think).
  11. No one should be fired for not making the playoffs for the first time in four years. The manager, coaches and FO should all get a chance in 2007, but if the team falls out of it next August with a big payroll, heads will roll.
  12. If Nixon is truly shot and does not sign with the Sox for a reduced role, I hope they get another RF because Wily Mo has not looked good in RF at all. The coaching staff has questioned his work habits in the OF and although he can hit the ball a mile, he has not shown any ability to hit good pitchers.
  13. This team was thin coming out of ST. It had a weak bench, a poorly constructed bullpen and a starting rotation that was full of question mark. It was a team where everyone needed to stay healthy and perform well in order to make the playoffs. With the age and question marks on the team, that was fairly improbable. They got a few key injuries and the whole team unraveled because it was so thin. The Yankees had more key injuries, but they were deeper and the FO reinforced as necessary and they have the best record in the AL. You can't blame the 3rd place finish on the injuries, because the Yankees had more injuries. It was most definitely the fault of the FO.
  14. Are you saying that he's faking the leg injuries and the Mets medical staff is covering for him? If so, what would be the motivation of either Pedro or the Mets? Pedro has two more years under a fat contract.
  15. Thank you. It works for me.
  16. Is John Sterling joking when he makes his over the top call in a 16-1 win over Tampa Bay?
  17. Thuuuhhhh Yankeees Loooose!!! Thuhhhhhhhh Yankees Looooose!!!!
  18. The Cardinals are continuing their monumental collapse as they are losing to Milwaukee 9 to 1 in the fourth inning. The Astros have already won 3 to 0 behind Roy (should have been a Red Sox) Oswalt. If the Cards complete this collapse, it will surpass the Phillies 1964 collapse, or the Blue Jays 1987 collapse.
  19. It's usually the other way around. Arm injuries often result from compensating for bad legs.
  20. Three errors by the Orioles aren't helping him. He'll have to pitch a 10 inning no-no because his D gave him three extra outs.
  21. http://newyork.mets.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article.jsp?ymd=20060928&content_id=1688317&vkey=news_nym&fext=.jsp&c_id=nym This is very weird. Everyone expected his arm to go, but first it was the toe, then the right calf and now the left calf. It's a shame that he can't pitch in the post season. Even at 85-86 mph he can dominate a team.
