There were some of us who didn't quit on him all season. Jesus Christ the guy's the closest thing to a 5 tool player we have with tremendous talent. There is a thing called an adjustment period.

f*** you.

LSU survives a huge scare from Auburn tonight.

Those of us who didn't quit on him all year look like f***ing geniuses.

LOL!

Are you Krams Krew in the fantasy FB? I sent an offer...

I have another question for my Yankee fan brethren on this board. If the Yankees don't offer incentive clauses in their player contracts, why did they deem it necessary to do so for a guy who all the players love and respect? All of you seriously think Torre is at fault for rejecting this offer? What a joke. And you accuse US of drinking the Kool-Aid.

Trade them for Miguel Cabrera and Johan Santana!!!11!

I go to UConn. Couple quick points... 1. The defense is good. Young, quick, makes plays. I only wish Lansanah wasn't a senior. 2. If the weather isn't as bad as it was in CT tonight, Louisville probably wins the game, and probably wins by 10+ points. 3. Larry Taylor absolutely stole a TD on the punt return...he waved for a fair catch, Louisville froze, and Taylor ran almost untouched for a TD.

Don't make plans for Sunday night.

I am also relieved TW101 is so focused on tomorrow night's game. I'm predicting a 3-4, 2 HR, 6 RBI night for him.

He's been a big league manager for longer than four seasons. What does the guy have to do to appease you? Win a WS? Win a division? What metrics do you measure a manager's success on? I said he was a very competent manager. His shortcomings leave him lacking behind Francona. Besides, Gardenhire's been a manager for what, two years longer than Francona? What instantly qualifies him then? Reading comprehension - F This is the first time you've told me I'm out of my mind. Hence, "refreshing to hear it from someone new." Stooge? You're funny. Tell you what. Tell me the metrics of a successful manager and I'll tell you Francona is better than all of them, IMO.

Torre weighs in on his departure:

Your Yankee fan brethren seem to feel that Francona is a better manager than Torre. Ask them their reasons. Leyland played Neiffi Perez on a consistent basis, and had him bat leadoff on a consistent basis last season. He insists on using Todd Jones to close games when he has Fernando Rodney and Joel Zumaya at his disposal. Tell me again why he's better at what he does than Francona? Also, he's conveniently tucked away in Detroit, where he doesn't have 1/10th the criticism of Francona in Boston. Scioscia and Gardenhire are competent managers, but I don't feel they are better than Francona. Scioscia has gotten outmanaged twice by Francona in the two postseason series the two teams have played each other in. Gardenhire chose to play guys like Nick Punto on a consistent basis this season, and let's not forget how badly he f***ed up 2004 against the Yankees. I appreciate the "you're out of your mind" comment, though. It's real refreshing to hear it from someone new on this board. Now, if you wouldn't mind, could you please tell me why Scioscia, Gardenhire, Torre, and Leyland are better managers than Terry Francona? Or is it past your cognitive abilities to form a rational argument?

I don't root for any other baseball team with any kind of passion outside of the Red Sox. You are really difficult to take seriously when you root for two teams, ESPECIALLY those who have rival fanbases like the Yankees and the Mets. Do you root for the Jets and Giants too? Nets and Knicks? Islanders and Rangers? Fans like yourself rub me the wrong way. I have always been of the school of thought that you pick one team to owe your allegiances to. Any more, and you reserve the right to be criticized on a consistent basis. I bet if we poll all of the other Yankee fans here you'd be the only one who is also a Mets fan. If you want to be a bandwagon jumper so be it. Don't get pissy when people call you out on it.

First of all, thanks for clearing any lingering questions I had about how the series format works up. Second of all. Winning Game 6 is a very real, very viable possibility for the Red Sox, don't you agree? If that is indeed the case, then there is a good chance of there being a Game 7. My question is if the Red Sox manage to win Game 6, who would the favorite be for the Game 7? I'm not discussing the game in and of itself aside from the fact that if it were to happen, who would the favorite be.

If we win Game 6...all hands are on deck for Game 7. Fact is, I think all of the pressure lies on Cleveland now. FOX was saying how before the game there were Guardians players quoted saying "We don't want to go back to Boston." In all honesty, we're down 3-2 but it could very easily be the other way around. This series has been unbelievably close and I expect Game 6 to be just like that. I have Lester at the ready if Schilling falters. Look, I don't usually buy into the "We've been there" approach, but this team has the experience. The Guardians do not.
