What...you're gonna stop me? Just for that reason alone, you piping in, I will. Bite me.
-
I have never started a game thread, but I will some time this year.
-
Come on fellas..at the very least it will spark discussion.
-
I love how the Red Sox fans complain about the strike zone. The umpire had been giving that outside pitch all night. Next thing we'll hear is how Mo did it all on steroids while scuffing the ball and soaking it overnight in a vat of vasoline.

Nice that Wake worked out of it. A's 1-0.
-
A's will win. Watch and see, bitches!

Fine, fine. I won't hijack this thread as usual. However, I think that everyone believed too much on a 40+ year old pitcher who went from pitching most of his career in a weak hitting division to the toughest division in baseball...and said pitcher was coming off a major injury. After years of watching the Yankees sign aging veterans, and liking how they went in a new direction, I am quite happy to see the Red Sox go in the other direction with players such as Saito and Smoltz. All these aging veterans do is clog up space and slow the development of young players. God, I sound like Jacko now. I might as well throw in a DOMINANT, JUST DOMINANT in there. I disgust myself.

Don't sleep on Texas if they get Halliday. I think Texas could blow away everyone with their young players in a trade.

It's a spot in the rotation. It should be worried about. Right now, I'd take Aceves over Smoltz, hands down. I'd also take Hughes and Buchholz over him. We both have two good starters [i acknowledge your top two are better than our top two] in Beckett/Lester and CC/AJ, one question mark [Joba and Penny] and one tried but true [Wake and Pettite, edge to Wake], and one lost spot. Both teams have enough to fill it, its just that we didn't expect to have this hole. Neither of us. The fact that you are counting on Matsuzaka at all is a joke. He's a five inning pitcher, and a bullpen killer. This will go down as one of the worst deals the Red Sox ever made.

Hey, we f***ed up for years with it. Which is why I wouldn't do it. Which is why I'm happy the oldest player they signed last year was 32.
-
You guys are doing what we did for years. Sign aging superstars hoping for a resurgence. It doesn't work. Personally, I wouldn't sign a single player coming off injury past the age of 40.
-
Yeah...why worry about a pitcher whose injury history you listed was a DECADE ago? When his injuries were at the ages of 32 and 33, and he's now 42? Not if he has reduced velocity in the most lethal division in baseball. I hope your front office listens to you. The fact that you're pitching Smoltz instead of Buchholz is a relief for me,

Yu Darvish. That's my pick.
-
And how is that run differential if you take out Wang's three starts? I contend the following: If the Yankees split the remaining games with the Red Sox, we win the division by 5 games.
-
f***in' slingin' Yu Darvish!

I love how the Sox fans are touting their better record, but that could change...TODAY. A one game lead before the All-Star break, and if you listen to them, you'd think they were running away with the division. The truth of the matter is the teams are much closer to each other than most of you think. The bullpens are pretty much a wash, the Yankees have a slight edge in offense, the Red Sox have a slight edge in the rotation, and defense is once again a wash overall. It's funny that the least heralded of the three off-season acquisitions for both teams are showing the most production [burnett for us, Penny for you]. Both of us have an Asian flop [Wang and Dice]. Both of us lost our most explosive hitter [Arod and Youk]. These teams are very, very close. The best statement in the whole thread is this one
-
If the Yankees can stay close [within 3 games] until the All-Star break, it will get interesting. We're on the road and you're at home. Considering the Red Sox record on the road, you better hope you pad your lead.
-
So you're 3.5 ahead of Texas and 5.5 ahead of Tampa. Nothing is a lock this year, my friend.

Zach Stewart and Casey Kelley

He's going to be DOMINANT, JUST DOMINANT!

3 out of 4...I'm happy.
-
Hey, 3 out of 4 aint bad.
-
There should be another caveat here. Trades should be even in players. In other words, 1-1, 2-2, etc. It wouldn't be fair for people to pick up players as the seasons go along. Also, no drops or pickups. My two cents.
-
It's not a stupid play if you can make it. The reality of it is the umpire missed the call. It happens.
