  1. Wade Miller and Matei may not have cost a lot, but they gave us nothing, so any money that they were paid was wasted. If the Sox didn't waste their time and roster spots on these bums, maybe they would have signed a couple of healthy pitchers for more $ that would have helped the 2005 squad.
  2. Beckett pitched one year in the AL and managed to win 16 games, one more win than his previous high. Wright never won 15 games in the AL and he never won 16 in any season in either league.
  3. Welcome to TalkSox.
  4. Nothing would disturb Yankee fans more than the Mets winning the WS. They think they are the kings of NY and the center of the baseball universe. If the Mets displace them in their own town, they would be miserable. Let's go Mets.
  5. There's no way the team could afford to play him in the second half. His injury saved him from the embarrassment of getting benched.
  6. JAret Wright 10 seasons 68 wins 5.07 ERA. Beckett 6 seasons 57 wins 3.82 ERA Beckett achieved career highs in wins over the last two years. How many times has Wright won 15 or more games?
  7. Exactly, Walker was a butcher in the field. Bellhorn's 2004 offensive season was a complete fluke. Look at the rest of his career. Loretta had a below average season for him. Prior to his injury, his numbers had been better, but this years #'s were nothing to sneeze at. OPS is not the most meaningful stat for a #2 hitter in front of Manny and Ortiz.
  8. Because they counted to 100 and to 1000 by beginning with the #1? Yes, that is very retarded.
  9. By having your players crash themselves into buildings in planes? What's your point?
  10. In 2006 rotation he would have been our #3 starter. He would have won between 10-15 games with a 4.25-4.50 ERA. Thatis what he was when he left the AL and there's no reason to believe that he wouldn't have remained at that level.
  11. Papelboner, Here's some information for you about calendars and the millenium. http://www.ortelius.de/kalender/idx_en.html The Yankees have no chmpionships in the 3rd millenium or the 21st century, because both started in 2001 just about the time the Yankees started their Choke streak.
  12. It's time for a change. Joe had a great run, but I am not sure that Piniella is the answer. In the short term ARod and Johnson might be more comfortable.
  13. Yeah, I did. Did you? 22 consecutive scoreless innings by the lineup against Kenny rogers and two other guys that the Yankees light up on a regular basis. If the offense had performed up to their abilities, they would have won game 2, and game 3 should have at least been close. Please don't tell me that Kenny Rogers is better than Randy Johnson. EDIT: Bonderman was 0-2 with a 5.68 ERA against the yankees in 2006 Verlander was 0-0 with a 10.80 ERA against the Yankees 5 innings 7 Hits 6 ER Rogers was 5-7 with a 6.45 ERA against the yankees over his career Based on these numbers, it seems to me that your lineup just choked.
  14. Your team choked. It had nothing to do with pitching. For crying out loud, since when has Kenny Rogers (a choker in his own right) become Sandy Koufax.
  15. Yeah, the last time that I looked they pick at least two guys at each position. Maybe Loretta wasn't the best second baseman in the league, but he was one of the top secondbaseman and deserving of an All Star selection.
  16. I'll give Crisp a pass on his offensive performance because of his finger, but he is not a good CF. He consistently breaks late or the wrong way on balls negating the advantage of his speed. Damon is a far superior CF er.
  17. So, Loretta would have been the back up. He was still one of the top guys at his position. Pointing out that Cano might be better does not diminish Loretta. He still would have made the All Star team. BTW In only 118 games, Cano had 9 errors, while Loretta had 4 in 146 games.
