  2. WTF when did this get tied? Someone jacked the TV after the 6th inning.
  3. I hate running across the house from the computer to the TV and back again. =/
  4. Ding ding ding we have a winner...
  5. That's what I did down the stretch in 06. Mike Burns and Kevin Jarvis FTW! And why can't we ever get guys like Carlos Pena?
  6. BTW Merriman is making an idiotic decision. Not only is it retarded to put your career on the table like this, but the Chargers are the deepest team in the NFL. If any team out there could survive Merriman's absence, its them.
  7. I can't stand the Cowboys. I'm just waiting for them to implode. Then maybe talkers like Crayton will shut the hell up.
  8. Good s***. Jason Bay's softening my pain from losing Manny.
  9. That's not what I meant. I thought yesterday's game would be a blowout going in (Wakefield against Pettitte? come on), and we're fortunate that we got the one game in this series I thought for sure we'd lose. I wasn't really referring to the game itself and how it was played.
  10. Coming back to the AL will help him? Good pickup I guess. The Sox are obviously worried about someone's health.
  11. Very fortunate to win yesterday. Now we have two pitching matchups in the final two games that IMO are pretty favorable.
  12. Crushing blow for the Giants, even if Strahan returns. I mean, Strahan DID retire for a reason, right?
  13. I agree JJ doesn't matter at all. Lose him. Schilling had a pretty good year in 2006 IIRC. 15-7, 3's ERA, something like that. What was his issue? Beckett didn't have a good year by any means, but it all culminated when Varitek went down. I think you're severely underestimating Varitek's effect on our pitchers. His presence behind the plate is huge for them. It's a comfort thing. BTW yes, Varitek is far ahead of (most of) the rest of baseball in calling games. If it wasn't evident to people during that period in '06, I guess it won't be evident to you guys at all.
  14. http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/stats/historical/player_stats.jsp?c_id=bos&baseballScope=BOS&teamPosCode=all&statType=2&sitSplit=8&venueID=&timeFrame=1&timeSubFrame=2006&Submit=Submit All that was because of injuries to 2/3 of our position players? Or was it the lack of Varitek's leadership behind the plate due to injury that forced Mirabelli and Javy Lopez behind the plate to handle our pitchers and call their games to blame for the fact that our pitching was a disgrace in August, 2006? You tell me.
  15. Hmm was everyone on vacation this time two years ago? When Varitek was lost and the entire pitching staff, no the entire TEAM, was in disarray because Varitek is the leader and captain?
  16. Because the average is worth far more than the way he handles our pitching staff and his effectiveness behind the plate. Right?
  17. Forgot about Boras. Damn...
  18. I'd give him 2 or 3 years at $7 mil a year.
  19. What's his current deal (that isn't my answer I just don't know what the $$$ is on his current contract)?
  20. Varitek has to be re-signed.
