    what the hell are we waiting for? Hughes has nothing tonight
  2. jacksonianmarch
    that was sarcasm, I should have put the /sarcasm note there. Do you really need to ask?

    he's throwing too many curveballs again. Cmon yankees. Hughes was solid in Detroit when he was throwing mostly 4 seamers and cutters.

    good to see we came to play tonight

    I dont think anyone got this, but it made me chuckle

    Kotsay strained his hammy in a rehab game today. Timetable unknown
  7. jacksonianmarch
    thats the thing, he was solid through 6. Sometimes, you just cannot go through 7.

    CC was solid through 6.

    the yankees could win 100 games and be out in the first round. what then?
  11. jacksonianmarch
    Agreed. As long as one of the tandem of Gardner/Melky is hitting, AJax stays in the minors.

    Tampa Bay's bullpen last yr was amazing. This yr it is awful. Couple that with an offense with holes in it that runs very hot and cold and you have a team that I think will end up around .500 for the season.

    Until Arod is back. Even though Ramiro Pena has been solid lately, we need to bring up a kid who can come off the bench as a pinch hitter. Right now, our bench consists of Brett gardner, Angel Berroa and Jose Molina. It might be time to bring up a pinch hitter type for this team until we get ARod back for good. Juan Miranda would fit the bill. Powerful lefty with a good eye who could be a nice pinch hitter for guys like Molina or Pena or even Melky when he cools down.

    its nice to see a bunch of new faces on the site. Welcome.

    nice try Gom. Small sample size for one. And for two, no matter how "bad" Posada is behind the plate, he does not make up for the significant offensive dropoff. Sorry Gom. If they were close offensively, then I would be on board. But when you talk about 300-400 points of OPS, then it is not worth it. If you really want to try and make a case, you'd go back through ERA in games Posada caught since Molina arrived and then of course get the ERA in game Molina caught. Then, you'd have to break it down further based upon pitcher to see how much of a difference, if any, there was between them on a pitcher by pitcher basis. If certain pitchers have a massive dropoff going to Posada, then you have a case for Molina being a personal catcher. Otherwise, I think you'll find it hard to find a significant difference over a bigger timeframe.

    this is unreal. Thumper should have his name changed to f***face full time

    the sox couldnt hit in the clutch. Masterson left 2 pitches up. Otherwise, he was solid.
  18. jacksonianmarch
    what a great f***ing game.
  19. jacksonianmarch
    never mind, found the game. Bad feed though
  20. jacksonianmarch
    I live in Worcester and dont get the sox game
  21. jacksonianmarch
    Pettitte walking a tightrope, no runs through 3. Yankees have a 4 run lead. Posada and Matsui have really come back strong
  22. jacksonianmarch
    also, wondering about the choice of Lugo. You have a sinkerballer on the hill in Masterson and you choose to put in the poor fielding Lugo rather than the sure handed Green
  23. jacksonianmarch
    I should have put a caveat of last season in there. He threw 13.1IP of shutout ball vs the sox in 2 games last yr. Not to mention the 7.1IP 3ER performance in his victory over the sox in the ALCS.
  24. jacksonianmarch
    It isnt an opinion. Wang (when healthy) has one of the top 3 sinkers in all of baseball. Doubting that is just wrong. He doesnt have much else past the sinker. But that sinker is a dynamite pitch.

    At least wait until the shine is off the 2007 world series visit before you throw your manager under the bus. Listen, every team will outgrow their manager mainly because older managers and especially those that have won, get set in their ways and fail to adapt. Torre was the victim of that. But Tito is what he is. He is a players manager. The guys love him. He also is loyal to a fault. And he is a pretty poor bullpen manager and is a really poor strategist. But so was Torre. Part of being a manager is being able to get out of your team's way, and he does that well. His loyalty also allows for selected young guys to get longer leashes than they should get (like Youkilis as a 1b and through Pedroia's first 2 months of his career). Once the talent level dips and a strategist is needed, then Tito wont be the right fit. Until then, enjoy the ride. He is the best manager to team fit the sox have ever had. Dont forget that.
