ANiMAL

he was 2/3 with a double in that game maybe its a good thing he imitates nomar between pitches; he'll start to hit like nomar too

Pineiro..... the sox are stubborn enough to choose pineiro so they dont look stupid for giving him $4mil just for middle releif

well i actually count on drew on being injured for about for about 100 games this year, so i think we'll see a lot of wily mo. drew will first dislocate his finger, then have a sore back, then maybe a concussion, followed by being hit by a train and sending him off the rest of the season

i used to watch wrestling - then in the past year they really have forgotton what wrestling was and then they started a soap opera instead

i can see crisp getting traded before wily mo, we have many contact hitters coming up in the minors, and only 1 power hitter [Lars] - so there is less risk trading crisp IMO. i also realized if we have crisp for 3 more years, Manny for 2 more years, Drew for 5 more years - when do the sox plan on having WMP/ellsbury play? have WMP start in 2 years, and ellsbury in 3? seems like we are holding on to our prospects for too long to me if thats the case

My Pineiro Prediction: 1.00 ERA 50/50 on saves, and then Aliens invade the earth and obduct him during the world series and cost the Red Sox a Championship to the Pittsburg Pirates

and then 10 years after that Roger Clemens will finally retire

Arod is back in middle school and everyone is picking on him pretty funny

he may be expensive for a prospect, so that could be a risk

but if the SP gives up 4 runs in one inning, that sets a bad tempo for the game so same thinkg can be said about SP ruining it for BP by not giving them a chance

that statement is very out there - any reasoning? btw, schillingouttheks - im glad that you can only be happy if i leave - nice to know im preventing your happiness

nevermind you win - i got to go to my next class. happy?

i think that lester being an effective pitcher - nothing great will come out of him, but he will be above average IMO. and why do you think it will come down to BOS BP vs. NYY SP ? BP only pitches about half of what SP pitches [sorry if that grammatically did not make sense]

honestly, are you successful in the feild of mathematics? if you are, i apologize

everything in life is a variable, and it all results into an equation boastful + unintelligence = you varaibles dont need to be numbers

i think that between the Yanks and Sox, whoever has the least amount of injuries in the lineup will win the division. Also depends on a healthy rotation too, but i think that the sox could outlast the yanks in losing some pitching. sox got lester and possibly clement [in late august], but im not too familiar with the Yanks pitching depth though.

im just saying that there are mony factors that can conclude to the reasoning of Howard only hitting 29 HRs. x= more BB, more SO y= smarter pitchers z= more workload because of lack of team production therefore x+y+z=29 and none of the variables can be = to or be less than 0. Happy CB? now there's no negative integers, and im sure ORS is a genious at math btw

not a big deal bout hansen - only ST

well, im a sox fan, therefore i want them to win and ill think theyre going to win - thats how it goes unless your a royals fan

first round of the playoffs, 1st seeded sabres face 8th seeded bruins and sabres lose 4-3 in a devistating OT loss, but there was a foot in the crease though!!! thank god they got rid of that rule. BUF will choke like always - i live in Buffalo, and its always funny to hear everyone talk about the how "we" always get screwed.

predict where you think wher each team will end up in their respective divisions. ALE 1. BOS [of course] 2. NYY 3. TOR 4. TB 5. BAL ALC 1. MIN 2. DET 3. CWS 4. CLE 5. KC ALW 1. LAA 2. OAK 3. TEX 4. SEA ALWC: NYY NLE 1. NYM 2. ATL 3. PHI 4. FLA 5. WAS NLC 1. STL 2. CHC 3. HOU 4. CIN 5. MIL 6. PIT NLW 1. LAD 2. SD 3. SF 4. ARI 5. COL NLWC: ATL

im sticking to my guns, 29 dingers, thats it. haha, watch him go on the DL and he only hits 29 HRs, haha but still, only 29, i may get burned in 3 months, but idc, thats what i say also, on the part about him being young, hinski won the ROY when he was 25/26 years old, and he didnt improve any from there - so saying that hes young when hes 27 doenst help the case of him improving much. By the time he gets a lot of experience he will be too old to be great. normally players get 3-4 yrs of experince then they hit their physical and mental prime at about 27/28, but by the time he reaches the mental prime at about 30 which may be too late IMO.

I think that Howards season last year was a fluke and he will never see those numbers ever again. Howard still may be a good player, but i think that smarter pitching will bring him down to Earth. his power numbers will decrease and the amount of HRs he hits this year will decline in half. He wont be the guy chasing records for HR's. Howard will start to see more BB's and he will be pressured to produce more due to a lack of production from his teammates. He will start to swing for the fences more and his will suffer from that by striking out more. Everyone seems to be speculating Howard a little too much, i dont think that he is worthy of a 1st round pick in a fantasy draft. Until he consecuativley has great seasons, he is not that great in my eyes. Anyone can have a great year, but only the greats continue to improve and consistently have great numbers in each season. I may not be giving him a fair chance, but i think that he wont be great this year, he will only do good. 2007 Predictions: .297 AVG 29 HR 120 RBI 120 BB 192 SO .415 OBP
