    Still, no coherent, logical explanation.:thumbdown My criticism in this case is not of the prima dona, but of the manager. This would be like having Marino and Montana on the same team, but putting the TE in to QB when the starter went down. It just makes no sense. I love it. I hope ARod never plays another game at SS. I enjoy watching him plkay out of position at 3B while Cairo plays SS.
  2. a700hitter
    So, far these answers are completely unconvincing and frankly they are BS. Why move more people out of position? ARod has played thousands of games at SS in his lifetime. He is more out of position at 3B than SS. Longer throw at 3B? Even the Yankee fans aren't buying that. This is some weak s*** you are throwing at me.
  3. a700hitter
    He's a good rent-a-player choice, provided they don't give up the top prospects in the organization.
  4. a700hitter
    He showed poise and ability, but his ability is not overwhelming enough to overcome his lack of experience. The Sox can't afford to let this kid take the hill every fifth date.
  5. a700hitter
    I have a question for Yankee fans. Why in Jeter's absence is Cairo playing SS? There were two plays last night that ARod would have made. ARod would have thrown out Lowell (scored a hit) even if he had bobbled the ball. ARod has a gun and Lowell runs like a snail. ARod also would have made the play on Coco (also scored a hit). If he handles that ball cleanly, he gets Coco. My theory is that Boot-licker Joe doesn't want to disturb the sensibilities of the the delicate prima dona, Jeter. Give me strong arguments for this defensive alignment to disabuse me of this notion.

    Has there any improvement in foulke's condition, or is he next on the DL?
  7. a700hitter
    Has there been any formal announcement that Foulke is going on the DL?
  8. a700hitter
    I'm not too thrilled with Varitek in the 6th spot, so I wouldn't move him to the 5 hole. I'd prefer Lowell, but the smart move is to move Youk to the 5 hole. If they want to walk Manny, they'll have to face guy with one of the top oBP's in the game. That could be a recipe for some very big innings.

    I liked what I saw from the kid. I was in my seat until the lst out despite the odious nauseating atmosphere of the big toilet in the Bronx. I figured that the Evil Empire would prevail in the end especially since today is 06-06-06-- take away the zeros and you've got the devil's combination. Although I was impressed with the kid, we can't afford to run him out there every fifth Day yet. he's still too inexperienced. With the bad news about Wells the Sox desperately need to get bona fide major league pitcher.

    Was he warming in the pen tonight?
  11. a700hitter
    Iwatched him take BP on before the final game in Philly. He hit a lot of grounders and he was having trouble getting the barrel on the ball in BP. He was very inconsistent in driving the ball.
  12. a700hitter
    Nixon just isn't getting the barrel of the bat to good fastballs lately and he is popping them up to the left side. This has me baffled since he built his reputation on being a good fastball hitter.
  13. a700hitter
    I blame Terry. He knows that Seanez has a habit of putting men on. He left him with no margin for error. he should have taken the kid out after the second base runner of the inning. You can't bring a wild pitcher like Seanez to face the most selective batter in the AL with the bases loaded. If he brought him in one batter earlier, he gets out of the inning.

    i was at the big toilet in the Bronx tonight. i had pretty good vantage point to observe the pitching. i was directly behind home plate in the 5th row of the tier box seats.the kid looked pretty good. he had good east-west command. He threw few balls right down the middle. I couldn't get a good read on the north-south commnd,but it must have been pretty good since they hit a lot of grounders. I only remember one ball being smoked-- the bernie homer. Pauley had a great night. He looked very confident. It ws great to see especially since the news on Well is not very good.
  15. a700hitter
    Joe wants to nail down this victory?
  16. a700hitter
    5 BB --- that spells big trouble at the ML level. Between Lester and Pauley we can expect 2 more blow out losses berfore the end of the week. The FO had better get serious about getting some experienced professional pitchers.
  17. a700hitter
    I can see the argument for Schilling but not Wakefield.
  18. a700hitter
    I have been reading that John Lester might be starting one of the two games on Saturday, June 10th against the Texas Rangers. Beckett is scheduled to pitch the other game. Does anyone know if Beckett will pitch the afternoon game or the evening game?

    In the year after surgery, you can't expect too much.
  20. a700hitter
    You can get a computer generated voice to do that. Some of the best listens in Sports told interesting and colrful stories. Vin Scully is like a solo artist the way he weaves his stories into the game. Harry Caray was hoot as was Dizzy Dean. For all the criticism he receives on these boards, Hawk Harrelson adds color to the game that goes beyond analyzing the plays.
  21. a700hitter
    We have become a country of thin-skinned wimps. It's sickening.
  22. a700hitter
    I miss the days when announcers could be colorful without worrying about being PC. Announcing has become too sterile. Maybe someday we will be listening to computer generated announcing voices. Wouldn't that be fun.
  23. a700hitter
    Yanks take the lead on a PD single. There is still plenty of time for Farrnsworth to...
  24. a700hitter
    K to end it!! and Seanez gets the win.
  25. a700hitter
    Nasty, nasty pitch to k Monroe. Was it the splitter or a slider. Nice play by Cora for the second out.
