He had a good 50AB run in Boston, but he sucked in the minors this yr. this is a dumb move. The sox are 7 out with 45 to go. Kalish needs time to sink or swim

CC back to the DL with elbow soreness. This one scares me a little

6-8 week injury, in all likelihood, he'll be shut down for the yr. solid rookie campaign though

a700 is right. An ace is durable, dominant and shows longevity. Also, an ace doesn't just dominate for parts of seasons, he dominates the whole yr. Buch has been great since May, but having said caveat and no season of 200IP solidifies the fact that he's not an ace.... Yet

Wait, a rotation minus Beckett and plus Lackey could be the second best rotation in the ALE? You really are hoping for a miracle, aren't you?

TINSTAAPP.

They showed life today. Coupled with the loss by Baltimore, we are back to 6 games up in the L column

Saves them over $100 mil to throw at Ells

I am sure the sox execs would say Crawford

The Yankees are not collapsing. We do this every yr. We go out to a big lead then get complacent, let some of it slip, then extend it again before clinching. It is just a little annoying that it is happening in this fashion

Acute anxiety? Really a700? He missed a whole f***ing season due to it. I am pretty sure he carries the diagnosis of anxiety disorder and is on a regular therapy and medical regimen. And people who are prone to anxiety issues do not do well when put in highly stressful environments. The guy will be trying to find his radial artery in this catastrophe

Greinke in Boston would be absolutely awesome. Imagine, his first bad outing and the Fens boos his ass. He'll be curled up in a ball on his bathroom floor scribbling in blood on the tub "All work and no play makes Zach a dull boy". The sox would need a full time therapist to come out to the mound with McClure, just as DiceK's personal interpreter comes out for him. McClure, "Zach, what the f*** are you doing man, get off your knees, you are blowing the f***ing game!" Therapist, "Zach, what he means is, you should feel some inner peace if you put forth your best effort. Let go some of the feeling of repressed anger towards your mother and feel the release of the ball toward the plate. Symbolically, it is your anger dissipating, doesn't that feel good"

What I hate about Girardi is that he gives up on games far before he needs to. He planned on taking out Hughes, so why did he let him go one more batter and face Miguel f***ing Cabrera of all batters. He leaves in our ROOGY to face 2 lefties in the following inning, and lo and behold, a run comes in. I am not saying that putting someone else in for the Cabrera at bat would have stopped all the bleeding, but walking Cabrera and going after Fielder, or putting in the ROOGY for Cabrera might have held the scoring to 1 run. And all of this earlier in the game, when eventually it was decided by 1 run. And who the f*** thought it was a good idea to have Granderson leading off? That guy is a corpse up there leading off. He strikes out far too much to be a leadoff guy and he isnt dependable in the clutch. Keep Jeter at 1, keep Grandy at the 2, put Cano 3, Tex 4, Swish 5, Ibanez 6....et al until Aroid comes back. And in the offseason, GET ANOTHER f***ING BAT! I have been saying it for 2 years now. Our offense is a pile on offense, we are doing well this yr due to pitching. We need another fearsome hitter in this lineup

I f***ing hate our manager

Sounds like V is taking his cues from Girardi on when to pitch certain guys past their effectiveness

V leaves Melancon in?

the straight on view looks like he reached over. The side view was the money shot.

that is not a homerun

Yu isnt very good, IMO. He dominated us once, which nearly all new pitchers do. But his fastball is flat, he tries to get too cute and his command is spotty. He reminds me of a 2007 DiceK.

Nice comeback man. Nice. I call you out for being completely inaccurate and you call me out because you....don't....really....have anything useful to add

why the hell are you throwing strikes to this f***ing guy?

He's known around the writers and he sure as hell passes the numbers test

He won't no-hit us, but we arent gonna score a lot and Nova is in one of his funks
