    14 for the division, 12 for playoffs.
  2. mvp 78
    I wouldn't say no to retiring his number, but I still say Pedro, Roger, Boggs and Dewey are more deserving.
  3. mvp 78
    Well, all the numbers retired are in the HOF except for Pesky. No HOF = number not retired, unless they start making more exceptions.
  4. mvp 78
    With the way the Yankees have been playing anything can happen.
  5. mvp 78
    Who wants to see some dingers?
  6. mvp 78
    Lowe and Timlin? Can't be worse than Rish I guess. 3 days until Jack has to "move" again.
  7. mvp 78
    After fixing Theo's mistakes last season, he was a solid C cup. Now he's more than a handful, maybe DD?
  8. mvp 78
    Doubront out of the pen is useless.
  9. mvp 78
    Doj, the players don't choose what cap goes on the plaque anymore (Wade Boggs rule). He'll go in as a Red Sox. Also, he was basically run out of town the first time. Why should he have loyalty to a franchise that dumped on him?
  10. mvp 78
    What's with the three shaved lines Peavy and Doubront have on the back of their heads? Is it coincidence or do others on the staff have it too?
  11. mvp 78
    Another Gold Glove play for the captain!
  12. mvp 78
    Why wouldn't you retire Clemens' number? Roids? Attitude? Left Sox on bad terms? They seemed to have welcomed him back. He shouldn't have been let loose in the first place.
  13. mvp 78
    4 game sweep. We'll need an APB to find Jacko after Sunday. He'll probably be "moving" until after the season is over.
  14. mvp 78
    Why retire Boggs but not Clemens?
  15. mvp 78
    If Ortiz has his number retired, so should Evans. Both are marginal HOF guys. Since Boggs actively lobied to go to the HOF as a Devil Ray, I wouldn't be too upset if his number is never retired. Pedro and Clemens should be locks though.
  16. mvp 78
    As an aside, the only # that is currently retired that shouldn't be is # 27
  17. mvp 78
    How is Buchholz more likely to be a top starter right now. He's not exactly mowing down batters during his rehab starts. Until he csn throw 90 pitches and be effective, Doubront is the safer bet. Throwing out Buchholz in a playoff game if he isn't back to 100% is much more silly than starting Doubront.
  18. mvp 78
    So then it's not about numbers or the WS titles then? Something else?
  19. mvp 78
    Manny had much better numbers and was part of both teams. What about him?
  20. mvp 78
    If it's that bad, he should be left off the postseason roster.
  21. mvp 78
    Schill, Tek and Wake too?
  22. mvp 78
    No, not a HOF. Great player, but I think some teams retire too many numbers (coughcough Celtics). Boggs' number isn't retired so Ortiz' shouldn't be either. If they are going to retire more #'s it should be in the following order: 45, 21, 26, 24 (Evans), 34
  23. mvp 78
    There's a chance that Buch won't come back and be what he was a the start of the season. He has a WHIP above 2 and hasn't pitched over 3.1 in either of his starts. We just have no idea what he can come back and be. To me, Doubront is the safer bet. Buchholz may have higher upside, but there's also the risk that he won't be ready and could completely s*** the bed. I think Buchholz could have value in the pen if his stamina doesn't come back.
  24. mvp 78
    I'd rather have Doubront start than Buchholz right now. There's no telling what Buchholz will be like when he finally starts a game next weekend. After 3 starts, we might know a little bit, but I'd feel more comfortable if he was in the pen during the first round.
  25. mvp 78
    That's just mean.
