    Melancon's ERA is plumetting.

    I see SYTYCD in my near future.

    Not a chance.

    Uno, your commercials make me never want to eat your subpar food...

    Ben's new plan, go for high draft picks?

    The park is in Little Havana, right?

    What sleep training methods did you typically recommend? Are there any downsides to the Ferber/CIO method (what the wife and I started the other night)?

    PG, you're a pediatrician, right?

    This stadium is ug-ly. Dark green seats and lime green walls? Blech.

    Also, the Sox don't have a good history with players with a personality disorder, see Nick Esasky.

    EH, that's why I added "could be" to the second list. They are either young, or just not quite an ace. My perception affected the list without a doubt. It's a list of guys "I" would want leading the staff and would give tons of $$$ to.

    Pods!

    Pods, I'm sorry I doubted you. You've been alright.

    Ah, I'm clearly not paying close enough attention.

    I, for one, welcome our robot overlords.

    I'm having Deja Vu to when UN? showed up and people thought he was someone else. Apparently, if a new poster shows up, they're just an older poster with a new name?

    I thought you were going to give up the p-word, sir. I'm disappointed.

    WMB has been playing more than once every 3 days. Check the game log. He started 4 out of the previous 5 games.

    EH, Aces: Halladay, CC, Lincecum, Weaver, Kershaw, Peavy, Price, Felix, Hammels, Verlander, Strasburg, Cain, Cliff Lee Near Aces (could be our #1): Sale, Morrow, Gio, CJ Wilson, Garza, Bumgamer, Hellickson, Greinke, Haren Clearly, there aren't enough to go around, but with this payroll, the Sox should have at least one of the above guys. Granted, I was blessed with being able to watch Roger and Pedro, but our SP would be much better off if we had one of the above guys.

    Well, it's not that they decide to pitch a CG, but that they aren't butthurt if a bullpen doesn't bail them out or if they get bad breaks. I also don't think it's the only measure of an ace. Think back when Pedro was here, he called the Yankees his daddy when they beat him. He threw at Einar Diaz when he wanted to. What Sox pitcher now takes control of the plate by brushing back hitters? Can't think of any. What pitcher says "this loss is on me?" Beckett says that once in a while. They just haven't had that guy since 04.
  24. mvp 78
    No because the proof to me is in Lester's whining. Ignoring any impact mental makeup may have seems just as foolhardy to me. Why do some players pitch better in small markets? Why do some relievers pitch great as setup men, but falter in the 9th? I don't claim to know the makeup of any pitcher, but I do think personality and (for the lack of a better word) toughness, play a role in a player's performance.
  25. mvp 78
    Re: Toughness I just don't think some pitchers have the mental makeup to say "we're sucking right now, I'm throwing a CG and putting this on my back." Whereas Lester just complains that he didn't get the right breaks (pitch a CG and you don't worry about things breaking the right or wrong way). Pedro wouldn't have moped after a start the way Lester does. I'm not sure if Buch has the ability to say "screw it, we're winning tonight and it's all on me." We'll see what his next start is like.
