    No he was just saying that because I said we could have PH Tek.

    That may be the saying...but I just can't see how you'd possibly send him in that situation. The play wasn't even CLOSE. He was out by a good 3 or 4 feet. Mirabelli (or Tek) has a better chance of driving that run in than Ortiz has of getting home from 2nd on a ball hit to Rios.
  4. HeadOfSoxNation
    No way...I hold him up, bases juiced, pinch hit switch-hitting Tek for Mirabelli. You never make the 1st or 3rd out at home or 3rd...it's like the cardinal rule of baseball.

    Dale Svuem?

    This is f***ing unreal...we haven't put a run across on this middle-schooler yet? Get reaaaaaaaaaaaal. I'm going to send Tito a formal memo showing him how you space days off so as to not throw an entire AAA lineup out at one time.

    I'd even make the argument to hit Youk ahead of Drew...unless you were doing this so you'd have a R, L, R, L, R, S scenario for late in games...

    Yea they were...the Mariners took off after ARod was dealt. They never won more than 91 games in a season while he was there (and they only did that once, in his final season, 2000), and as soon as he left, they won 116, 93, 93...granted it tailed off to where they're at now, but the immediate impact after his departure is hard to argue with. EDIT: I just re-read what I wrote...I said "before they had him" rather than "without him", my bad. Still though, since he became a superstar, the two teams that got him were better before, and when he was a hotshot young ballplayer, the team that dealt him improved after he departed.

    I just got a boner...
  11. HeadOfSoxNation
    You know what's crazy to think about? Of all of ARod's 3 teams...every single one of them has been better before him than they were with him.
  12. HeadOfSoxNation
    For sure...I see ARod getting a 6 or 7 year deal at about 30-31M per. I don't think he's opting out for the financial component, but you know a raise will come with whatever deal he does sign.

    Are Jessie Litsch and Tyler Clippard brothers? Or do they go to the same dermatologist?
  14. HeadOfSoxNation
    Ha, so true. Every time I see a new entry in the Introduce Yourself thread, I think to myself "Oh geez...here we go again." But this Josh character seems legit. Welcome aboard, and the same goes for you; if you have any questions, don't hesitate to let any of us know.

    There's never going to be a "market" for ARod's services. A "market" would indicate that his price could go up or down depending on who's out there with him...ARod is the type of player who can demand his own price regardless of when he is a free agent or who else is in the pool along side him. When you're a once in a generation type of player, you can have such liberties. What I mean is, a player like ARod creates and dictates the market, rather than becomes a product of it.

    Cabrera better call Jenny Craig or something, because he's going to eat his way out of 3B eventually. The guy is a stud no doubt, and I'd love to see him mashing in Boston, but he's freaking ballooning. If we did trade for him, I guess we could always move him to first and have Youk go back to 3B. MLB.com has him listed at 240...I think that's EXTREMELY conservative.

    Hey does anyone know anywhere that I can find PawSox probable starters a couple of days out? They're in Syracuse this week and I want to go see Lester, but I'm not sure if he's pitching Friday or Saturday, if at all. Pauley is pitching tonight.

    I loved Nomar...still do. I know I've told the story before in other threads, but after the ARod deal fell through, and he ended up stuck on a team who's FO made it clear they didn't want him, he still never took it out on the fans. I saw him at Spring Training right after all of that happened and he was still the guy signing autographs everyday and posing for pictures and giving back. He recognized that his beef was with the FO and not with the fans that had been cheering him since he was a rookie. The guy's a class act in my book. Thanks, Beautiful. ShortStuff...regardless of anyone's feelings on Nomar...welcome to the site. You should have fun here; we're a good bunch for the most part

    Morneau will win if they have a White Sox SP throwing.

    A good showing in the Motor City could be a HUGE boost to this team going into the All-Star Break... Let's go JT, give us something we can work with and we'll get the bats behind you.

    I was just signing on to say something of the like. I was a doubter, but I love the kid.
  22. HeadOfSoxNation
    Hey ZachAttack and Brooklyn Yanks...I need big showings out of you this week. Especially you, Zach. I win 7-3 last week and STILL lose ground on Rick? Sheesh, that's rough.
  23. HeadOfSoxNation
    You can't stop laughing at the fact that someone used Paint to add "Balco's Greatest" to the top of an old Barry Bonds card? I actually can't START laughing...
  24. HeadOfSoxNation
    ...just ask Michael Young.
