http://www.bostonsportsmedia.com/ not sure how reliable a link this is, but its near the bottom of the page. This could be a major factor in not resigning him.

and the worst part about the period between the SB and ST (mind you, I refuse to call this basketball or hockey season, rather I will call it a tweener season) is that Steven A (sshole) Smith is on the f***ing TV every 2 minutes. He makes me want to dip my balls into a piranha infested lake. You know he was that skinny little brat that got the s*** beat out of him in the ghetto for being a dork. Now he tries almost too hard to be ghetto and literate, two words that dont belong in the same sentence. He deserves a swift kick in the balls!

Me too. Thug league NBA and a league where I cannot pronounce the names of any of the players. Hobby boolin? Sounds like an english word for felatio.

News coming across the wire. Tornadoes in florida have delayed the start of spring training indefinitely. Baseball season may be delayed by over a month while the wreckage is cleared.

I have never heard that expression, but I love it. DELAY THE SEASON. I want to see how well your brain can decorate a wall!!

Success in NY is measured by world series rings. This is why Dave Winfield went into the hall as a Padre and not a Yankee. You may be saying, well he didnt win one in SD either, but you can say that the entire Mr. May fiasco of the 80s is predicated on a fantastic player flat out sucking when it counted. I was asked a question by one of my friends today. What would you take for 2007. Arod hitting .360 60HR 160RBI and a .250BA in the postseason if they got there or Arod hitting .260 25HR 80RBI and a .350BA for the postseason if they got there I think most fans of any team would be ecstatic to go to the playoffs and have a guy that good on their team. Almost any team would take A. But yankee fans have seen him at his best and then flop. If he has a yr like yr B, he'd be vindicated.
-
you can bet he'll be on the yankee radar. The yankees need a catcher closer to the bigs than Montero and some left handed pitching.

That yr they had a lineup that was unquestionably remarkable from top to bottom. Their rotation ate innings as well and if it wasnt for the pen being a black hole, they win that division. Also, I never said the sox would struggle to win 90 games. I think 90 games is a solid number for them. But 90 gets you a battle for a wild card and like last yr, a date on the tees in October. Remember that the yankees won 97, the tigers out of the WC won 95. Giving up wins early while experimenting will be trouble. And even if Theo plans on sticking with a closer, how many blown saves before the revolving door turns again to the next guy?

scout.com is saying that 50 guys have already shown up.

http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/6451068 sounds like Billy Connors likes what he sees out of Igawa. Granted, any of these ST reports are to be taken with a grain of salt, or maybe an entire salt mine. But its a start.

good point.
-
someone actually wanted to fire torre mid season? Dumbass. You dont have to be Nostradamus to see Torre's skills as a manager have declined a but, but he has done nothing to warrant firing. I like the idea of him grooming Donny for the post, but firing torre after a loss to KC, just dumb. As far as fire cashman? What? What an *******, Cashman is responsible for a change in philosophy of this franchise, whomever said these must have been an idiot. Certainly no yankee fan in their right mind would say such things.

my point ORS, was that the guys who strived in closers role yet failed as starters still had electric stuff. They just couldnt handle 5+ innings or only had 2 pitches. Pineiro has 3-4 pitches depending on what scouting service you believe and he hadnt had any problems with going deep into games that he didnt get knocked around in. The biggest problem was his heat going from 95-97 to 90-92 and his breaking ball losing bite and location. Recover his stuff and you could potentially recover an ace starter, not just a good reliever. But that is easier said than done.
-
Guys who fail as starters and become solid setup men is typically due to limited arsenal or inability to handle higher level workloads. Pineiro's problem has been a severe decline in stuff throughout his arsenal. That does not translate well to closing unless he finds that 96mph fastball again.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2757105 Amaechi is gay. No skin off my back. Except the name of his book is pretty frickin hilarious. "Man in the Middle" can be taken in multiple different contexts.

Posada, Pudge, and thats about it off the top of my head.

I agree with your there. The sox had no contingency plans when they dealt Arroyo. If they had him last yr, then things might have been different. Instead of passing on Abreu, they may have acquired him and his presence in the yankee lineup was the major catalyst for that 5 game drubbing. I dont like dealing pitching, I really dont. UNLESS, you are dealing a defective product and you have significant depth. Last season, the sox entered the yr with a rotation of Schilling, Clement, Wells, Wakefield, and Beckett. 3 of those guys had recent injury histories at the time. Their contingency plan was a rookie by the name of Lester, with no other minor league impact player even close to available. You have to have more than just that.
-
he's got to have a good playoff series at some point. Right?
-
that staff was starting to crash and burn prior to his injury. His injury just kept up his teflon coat as a great pitchers catcher. Kinda like how Jeters gold gloves give the teflon shortstop an air of solid defense. BTW, has Variteks arm gone to the shitter or what. He used to be tough to run on, but he cant throw anyone out anymore.
