Need pitching?

Grand slam. Well, at least we lost in style.

Three walks in the inning. Are you kidding me?

Two outs, bottom of the 9th, Hamilton up, runners on first and second. I'm s***ing bricks right now.

Jeter is now a below average shortstop in every sense of the word. Damn. Poor range, and a sub 400 slugging. I thought he'd come down a bit, but this is just awful.

Jeter is f***ing garbage this season.

Mr. Double Play is up with the go ahead run on second. I must say, I have little faith in Jeter this season.

From your mouth to God's ears.

That second strike to Casey looked outside. I thought Casey laced a single, but the ball stayed up. Tough luck Sox fans.

Wow...what a great two games so far.

Do I dare say what our GM did? LOL!

Your problem isn't Tek. It's centerfield like it is with us. If you were getting the production you were hoping for, you could carry Tek. I'll go on the record for saying that even though he's a Sox, and your captain, I like Tek.

Be careful what you wish for. He's one of the best catchers in baseball at framing pitches. If your team ERA goes up half a point next year, you'll know why. Us Yankee fans are seeing the opposite, and most of them are now realizing what I knew to begin with. Losing Posada was the best thing that happened to this team.

It's obvious that Cashman cheated. He is bribing the opposing team's pitchers to groove it to Nady.

Nady is obviously cheating.

I was in first place at the time. Don't worry, I'll be back there by the end of the week. You've got a half game lead, it aint gonna last. You will all be my bitches!

LOL! I knew you'd find a way out. You still look at things a little biased towards your team. Let me ask you the question another way. Which deal(s) do you think they MAY have cheated? Curious. At least the adults are back to talking here.

My arbitrary standard, my dear old friend, is nothing more than showing me a shred of proof. A quote, or someone from MLB stating they would look into it, anything. His sample size is way too small for any educated person to accept such an outlandish suggestion of cheating. ORS. Question for you. Do you think the Yankees cheated in the deadline deals, in other words by bribing or giving money or other valued items under the table? A one word answer will suffice. No explanation needed, nor wanted. Basically, you have to decide what's more important. Your reputation here or your desire to protect a fellow Red Sox fan who's wrong over a Yankee fan who's right. My opinion here. Yes or No?

You weren't complaining about Boras when he got you Drew and Lugo. Play with fire long enough, you'll get burned.

I love your avatar.

Let's keep that s*** in the other thread, but the Sox thinking was this: Manny was done. If he stayed, he would have tanked, and so would the Sox's season. The Sox's viewpoint was that in the offeseason, it would have cost them more than Moss and Hansen to get Bay. So they pulled off the best deal they could. I mean, what could the Sox have done if Manny just decided to sit out the rest of the season? Check out this article from Gammons. http://insider.espn.go.com/espn/blog/index?entryID=3513892&name=gammons_peter I mean, Manny forgot which knee hurt. Only when threatened with disciplinary action, did he play. If you were to make the playoffs this year, you had to get rid of him. So the question is this: Would you have been able to get Bay for Hansen, Moss, and $5 million [taking away two million from this year] during the off-season? I don't think so. So besides the high probability of not making the playoffs, you have a smaller chance of getting the caliber of player that Bay is for Moss and Hansen and $5 million in the offseason than you did at the deadline. It was a no-brainer for Theo, but a terrible position to be in. Or...we could just say the Yankees cheated somehow. Whatever works for you.

Guys keep in mind one thing. One three game winning streak either way, and the numbers change drastically. The Yankees win the pitching matchup in all four games against Texas. If they can pull off 3 out of 4, it's a brand new ball game.

It has been unequivocably been proven that I am correct and JHB is wrong. Two votes are all we need. The sample size is obviously large enough to support the claim. In fact, I am slightly surprised that you have all agreed with me 100%, and with JHB, ZERO. Thankfully. It's over.
