  1. If Rich Hill is injured the pickings are REALLY slim now.
  2. Yet oddly enough, they're averaging 4.7 runs a game in June and July.
  3. That was one of the great days in golf history. For two guys to elevate themselves above everyone else like that and duke it out for 18 holes, for them to shoot 63 and 65 on such a difficult course, was something to see.
  4. Which someone very special, exactly? Let's have a specific name or two.
  5. We're very lucky to have Henry as an owner.
  6. They have one of the weaker offenses, but they were averaging 4.45 runs a game at home coming into today, so holding them to 2 is still good work.
  7. Flashes of the old Koji.
  8. I don't think anyone would disagree with any of this.
  9. It's just the way the compensation system is set up under the CBA. What's he making this year, something like $650K - and that's only because the Sox were generous enough to pay him more than they had to.
  10. In a thin market, Pomeranz's value escalated enormously because of what appears to be a breakout season. This is not new or surprising.
  11. But haven't you also said: 1) You liked the deal for Kelly. 2) You liked the exercise of Buch's option.
  12. Shaw is certainly not at the talent level of the B's. But he's a guy making 500K who's on pace to have a WAR of 3 or more.
  13. On the short list of the greatest 3-4 tandems in history.
  14. I'm one that thinks he's doing fine. His OPS is still hovering around the .800 mark. And his 430 foot jack last night was a pretty key hit.
  15. I must say the home plate ump last night did a very good job calling balls and strikes. It was a tight zone but consistent. I didn't notice any blatantly bad calls or bitching by players or managers.
  16. I hear ya, but typing 'cost-controlled top of rotation' or the like every time is ridiculous.
  17. All things considered the Manny era was a monster success. It's unfortunate the way his time in Boston ended, needless to say.
  18. I have little doubt that Dombrowski seriously explored making a trade for a CCTOR starter this past offseason and found out that the ones he was interested in were only available for an exorbitant price-Betts or Bogey plus. Two of the names that were mentioned the most as targets were Carrasco and Salazar. But guess what, Cleveland wasn't in sell mode at all.
  19. It's next to impossible to have a true dynasty in MLB anymore. Too many things working against it. Bud Selig's idea was Parity = More Excited Fans = The Most Possible Revenue.
  20. Not true of everybody. There is still griping about the Iggy-Peavy trade.
  21. Third place? That's a little disingenuous. We're actually in second, technically, 2 games out in the division, 3.5 out in the league, with almost half a season to go.
  22. But if Buchholz or Kelly or Owens pitched as well as a lot of people hoped they might this situation wouldn't be what it is. There were a lot of things that led to this-most of them were inherited from Ben.
  23. What made the Bagwell trade especially egregious was that it was for .3 seasons of a relief pitcher.
  24. I'm pretty sure that DD didn't actually want to do this, but felt he was forced to by the situation.
  25. Obviously they had hopes for better things from Buch/Kelly/Owens/Johnson. Didn't you?
