  1. Definitely this move was compelled by the failure of the 5 starters that started the season. If our starting pitching is to get better, it will be due to an infusion of new blood from the minors or through a trade. The 5 guys that started the season were not going to improve enough to make us competitive. Hopefully, Masterson and Kelly don't make any more starts other than an occasional spot start.
  2. I could never figure out which weather conditions favored the knuckler, whether wind helped or hurt and whether it made a difference if the wind was blowing in or out. Also, he pitched well in domes.
  3. Hopefully, Wright will have the knuckleball dancing tonight.
  4. I think Fred went on vacation. He'll be away for a month.
  5. And is there something wrong with being obsessive if it doesn't hurt anyone? No. But bossing people around is okay. Not. Edit: And it is curious how these same people have not called it obsessive when a poster declares his psychotic hatred of a thousand burning suns toward you. Do they excuse that as a mere figure of speech?
  6. Good point. I don't know why they get annoyed about it. It is a constant reminder to me that I will owe you a case of beer, but I don't get my underwear twisted in a knot over it.
  7. He was very impressive last night. If Wright pitches well tonight, Kelly will have to get a set of bullpen spoons and start practicing his musical talent.
  8. Pete, I just thought that you unnecessarily stirred the pot on a night when we had a game and a performance to enjoy. You did call him a "bore", so there was some name-calling. I don't want to argue with you, but we know that UN has professed a psychotic hate for Iortiz, so any endorsement of his criticisms of iortiz are likely to spin out of control. Peace brother. Maybe we can get another good start tomorrow from the other PawSox alumnus. That would be fun.
  9. You don't think that they are using him for trade bait?
  10. The Rangers' bats have been smoking hot recently.
  11. Best game in a loooong time. Longest scoreless debut since Billy Rohr on opening day at Yankee Stadium in 1967.
  12. Yes, it has been a great game. Do you think they were just showcasing the kid or are they serious about giving him a shot in the rotation?
  13. Others can beat their drums over and over, but they will not tolerate someone else playing a drum.
  14. Pete, keep it to yourself. He wasn't insulting anyone. If you want to speak up, smack down UN when he gets personally insulting. That is a problem... whether or not he is your friend. Everyone on this board is irritating in his or her own way. That shouldn't be anyone's focus.
  15. He's going lefty on lefty because he is hitting .049 from the right side.
  16. Censorship. .. on a message board? A ridiculous notion. The best we can do is have a civil discourse and not insult each other, but some people have to start s*** when they should just be enjoying a great game.
  17. Panda's waistline seems to be expanding each game. At this rate he will take up both batter's boxes by the end of the year.
  18. As good as the kid looked tonight, if Amaro calls and asks for him in return for Hamels, Ben should accept immediately.
  19. His pitch count is reasonable, but I don't see sending him out for the 8th inning. It would be our luck to blow out his arm before he gets his feet wet.
  20. Getting this big stiff Peguera is a head scratcher of a move.
  21. This is a pleasure to watch-- a Red Sox pitcher going into the 7th inning giving up no runs on 2 hits on 90 pitches. This is fun. Based on what CP said about him, my expectations were high, and he has met those expectations plus more.
