Runs please.

lol

I sense 3 runs this inning.

Where the f*** did that 0-2 miss?

Cleveland's lineup is f***ing scary.

Not a huge fan of 39 pitches though. f***, Manny and Drew need to take some pitches.

Curt looks OK tonight. He heard my threats of starting a leash thread.

Haha it doesn't matter to me either way. Pena goes yard tonight.

Yeah, Curtis Leskanic. I'll do one more, then someone else can field it. This is the pitcher who Ortiz homered off of in the 8th inning of Game 7 in the 2003 ALCS.

If they lose shouldn't it be ED who gets his shot?

This is the Red Sox pitcher who got the game 4 win in the 2004 ALCS.

Bring him on I'd love to see him in Fenway this weekend.

4 K's, 2 hits through 3. Seems like he's throwing a lot of pitches though.

Fair point. Drew's been healthy the last few years and has produced. That's why he got signed. You tell me the same thing about WMP. You say he's a sucky player because he strikes out too much. I'm telling you Andruw Jones strikes out too much. I would say Trot is hitting as well as he can right now whereas JD has tremendous room to improve. Tell me how Jones is far better. Don't use Gold Gloves, either.

1-0 Sea Dogs on an RBI double that scored Lowrie. I didn't see Buchholz's 1st inning, how'd he look?

Nice hustle double. And now he scores.

If Schilling bombs tonight I'm gonna start a Schilling leash thread.

Ever hear the expression "You get what you pay for?" Drew is far and away a superior player to Nixon, and his career numbers show that. True Red Sox? I hate it when people say this. What the f*** does this even mean? In 2003 you would tell me that Nomar was a true Red Sox. How'd that end up working out? Take that s*** to nyyfans.com. Not to nitpick, isn't this only one point? You hate WMP because he strikes out too much. Want to take a look at Jones's K rates? Torii Hunter is not worth what he will command on the market this offseason. He's a nice player, not a superstar. Ichiro would be OK, but there's a logjam at center. Where do you put Ellsbury next year if you sign one of these guys? Thank you for this purely statistical and thoroughly specific analysis. I'll also take this bet. Are you high? Nixon has only hit more than 23 home runs three times. He has only hit for over 75 RBIs 3 times. http://www.baseball-reference.com/n/nixontr01.shtml You think Trot can hit 21 HRs over the rest of the year? He can hit for 55 more RBIs?

Too bad he can't play center anymore.

Hideki Okajima has as many saves as Mariano Rivera. Hideki Okajima has as many saves as Mariano Rivera. Hideki Okajima has as many saves as Mariano Rivera.

I was being sarcastic, of course I know we won. Cat kills the Sox and he made zero effort to try to get out of the way when he got hit today.

So we won? PS Cattalanato is a f***ing ****.

Age is the big factor. Damon looks like he needs a walker out there, and Abreu has been god-awful. These guys aren't getting any younger. Who's the next position player the Yanks have waiting in the wings? Tabata? He's 2+ years away at best. Your pitching may be "stacked" for the future, but honestly outside of Wang and to a lesser extent Hughes, no one has really proven themselves. I think you overvalue your prospects highly. That's not to say some couldn't be successful, but it's highly unlikely all will have sustained big league success. With increased revenue sharing it's going to be increasingly difficult to pluck FA's away from teams. Therefore, in order to make your lineup better you're going to have to part with some of your precious young pitching. It's funny you mention Clemens in this part. Is Clemens's signing not the ultimate GFIN move? He's the one that was to be the savior of the Yankees season, to stabilize the rotation. It doesn't make sense to call it a rebuilding year if you throw a pro-rated $28 million at a soon to be 45 year old pitcher. Besides, you don't think the Boss wants to win it now? You don't think he'll sit idly by and watch the team go down, do you? Fact is this second part is such a bunch of ******** that I don't even want to think about it. All offseason long you said how much of a juggernaut the Yankees were. Look, a team is never as good as they look when they're playing great and never as bad as they look when things are going bad. Do I think the division race is over? No. 12.5 games over 4 months can be made up easily. It's tough sure but it is in no way over. ********. Duh? Again, duh? There's a reason Dice-K was so sought after and Igawa wasn't. I would argue the Red Sox have just as bright a future. This is on the players and Cashman. Look, his team is not deep. That's his fault. The bullpen sucks. That's his fault. He traded away Sheffield (a RH power bat) and Johnson (an innings eater in the AL who you could count on for 14 wins), which are arguably the two things New York needs most right now. He basically fields a team that has 5 DHs in Damon, Giambi, Abreu, Matsui, and Cano. This is on the players because they have absolutely blown ass to this point. Really, the only ones who have contributed consistently are Jeter, Posada, and Bruney, and Pettite. s*** eating motherf***er.
