HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I call K.

AChoke at the dish. Awesome. Cairo leading off the 9th.

the sox offense still has to warm up a bit, but Mats sounded just flat out dominant. The royals guys did their best to disguise their man crush on the young chap, but they couldnt by the end. He just owned.

BTW, I hope Michael Kay catches his nuts in a vice.

you havent had to watch Joe Torre burn through great pen arms like I have. He treats Proctor like his slave and he can be one of the better reliever in all of baseball if his arm stays on. BTW, Torre proved me wrong as Vizcaino sacked up and closed out the inning. EDIT: But pulling Giambi for a pinch runner in a tie game in the 7th will come back to bite us.

Hey Joe, um, maybe take this guy out of the game? He is the most clueless manager when it comes to figuring out if a pitcher has it or doesnt.

Pettitte wasnt nearly as bad as the line will show. 2 of his hits were of the infield variety and that defense has been putrid for the second game in a row. Joe Torre still has no clue how to manage a bullpen. Using Proctor for 2 innings in freezing weather is an absolute joke. Keeping Vizcaino in when its obvious that he cannot locate his slider in the cold is amazing. Our offense is still amazing in spite of A-Choke. Once the weather gets warm, the pitching might be able to f***ing locate.

both Callahan and Remy are wrong on this one. If the pitcher is going to walk you, why the hell would you swing at something that may be off the plate.

Sounds like Torre is hoping for a DL stint. Honestly, if he isnt feeling better by tonight why the f*** risk it? It isnt like we dont have a capable backup and it isnt the prime time of the season. DL his ass if he isnt 100% today.

Well, mission accomplished for the offense. They worked Odalis like a dog, even though he gave them nothing after the first. They got into the pen and a f***ing rule 5 guy who never pitched above A ball comes into a clutch situation. You can thank me later, but the royals pen is absolute garbage and the idea that the sox even try to beat the starter is assinine. My thoughts. Beckett threw absolute ched but had no goddamn idea where it was going. But the major difference between him and Schilling is the fact that a 97 mph fastball down the heart of the plate gets missed many more times than the 89 mph meatballs Schill was serving up. Beckett broke off some nice curves but also had a bunch that he couldnt even come close to locating and his insistence on trying to K every hitter got him yanked after 5. Against a better hitting team, he is lit up last night, but it is a step in the right direction. He figured out that rather than walking hitters, it is better to just throw strikes when down in the count and see where it takes you. There were what, 3 3-0 counts that he battled back from yesterday and got outs? His performance gets a B- in my opinion and it is something to build on. The bullpen was dirty. But they got some help. Pineiro was topping out at 92 and his curve had no right to left break. It was all 12-6 and you can tell it isnt fashioned that way. Romero looked very solid as well. Snyder had some serious movement on the ball, but his pitches ended up down the middle. Prediction: Snyder is in AAA or claimed off waivers by the end of May.

you forgot about the other option. Coco struggles, but Ellsbury has a rough adjustment to AAA and the sox are stuck with Coco for 07. He hasnt looked comfortable nor has he even made solid contact of any kind. If he doesnt find it soon, he will be floated for a reliever and maybe Wily Mo will play CF.

mother f***er. I HATE OFF DAYS!!

the real question is, who gives a f***.

you type like your computer had a stroke.

Now, for those of you who hate it when a yankee fan diagnoses the sox problems, find another thread. Odalis Perez is a pitcher, who going into 2004, was a rising pitcher in the game. Then he bottomed out and got shipped to the Syberia of baseball. He has solid control in terms of walks, yet he gets absolutely crushed especially recently. He throws on average around 16 pitches per inning and typically is out in 5. The sox should wait him out, work the counts and hit what they can and they will be in the pen before they know it. Time for them to pull a yankees and get Odalis out of the game early rather than allow the starter to enter the 8th. Sox should win this one so long as Beckett uses his curve.

you were right. http://weblogs.newsday.com/sports/baseball/yankees/blog/2007/04/rained_out_damon_update.html

let me rephrase that. Melky is better than your typical 4th OFer. He will give you OBP and make very good contact like Damon will. Damon is a much better player at this juncture and losing him at the top of the lineup would be bad for a long period of time. But if it is for a short amount of time, the difference will be minimal.

well, Cantu could be dipping into those horse roids they use in the dominican. Actually, Cantu is Mexican, but you get the idea. The guy has the same acne scars as Tavarez, maybe they mean something. Hmmmm.

I absolutely do. I have finished school and my job per se starts in July. So I get to lounge around until the fun starts.

Its like comparing the girl you wouldnt mind doing if you were sober vs the girl you wouldnt mind doing after a case race.
