  1. That is more f***ing like it.
  2. Some of it's regular Yankee hate/paranoia. I think it would be good to knock the Yankees back some and reduce the number of teams we're battling with in the standings.
  3. Melky Cabrera could be the new 'Before and After PED's' poster boy. At the time he was suspended last year he was hitting 346/390/516. This year he's hitting 279/322/360. How 'bout that 156 point drop in his SLG? Plus he's only played 88 games this year and now is probably gone for the season. Getting a cool 16 million from the Jays though. Serves them right.
  4. Your opinion of MVP Ryan Braun as a player hasn't been affected at all? How about batting champ Melky Cabrera?
  5. Well then, you would be very much bothered by it, because they'd be suspended and they'd be mortified in the media like Ryan Braun. If you like the idea of Dustin Braun, I guess it wouldn't be an issue for you.
  6. Totally understand. As far as the game threads go, sometimes when a frustrated optimist gets in a rage it's pretty hilarious.
  7. Well, it's pretty hard to calculate 'PED adjustments'.
  8. But you can't just say 'PEDs or no PEDs'. Look at McGwire before and after PEDs. He might have had trouble hitting 15 HRs in 1998 without the PEDs.
  9. I have a strong suspicion that my boy Bellhorn was a juicer. He hit some pretty impressive shots in that 2004 postseason. Even that one he hit in Game 6. He took an outside pitch and drove it into the left field seats, on a cold and misty night. And the one he hit in Game 7 was an absolute moonshot.
  10. True. But the mythology around this is gathering steam and the reality isn't conflicting with the mythology. It remains an unconscionably f***headed and unnecessary move by Dempster. Looking back on it I wish he had been immediately ejected. That would have removed any doubt of how wrong it was.
  11. Sure, you're excited now. But if we're losing 2-0 after 3 innings tonight and having bad at-bats, you'll be furious. Just giving you a hard time, man...
  12. Us sweeping the Dodgers is a bit of a longshot. Taking 2 of 3 would be a fine achievement.
  13. I don't think we want a sweep by either team.
  14. Yanks are 5-0 since the Dempster Message.
  15. Your vision was a little off there man. Yankees took 'em both.
  16. Missed Bumgarner too. So in back-to-back series we missed the best starters. Can't ask for more than that.
  17. For anybody picking the Red Sox to win the East, here's a question: what's the most you would bet on it, in a straight-up bet?
  18. As usual I'm glad I didn't make any predictions because they would have been so wrong. It's impossible. Just a big waste of time.
  19. Napoli with runner on first, less than 2 out: 111 PA, .843 OPS, 33 RBI, 13 GIDP Pedroia with runner on first, less than 2 out: 141 PA, .865 OPS, 25 RBI, 18 GIDP Napoli hasn't been horrible in that situation. I would guess the GIDP rate is about average for a RH hitter with power. The strikeouts would certainly reduce the number of productive outs he has.
  20. I don't mind seeing Napoli in a big spot if there are no outs or one out. But with two out, you would definitely rather see someone else up there.
  21. He really does. Except maybe for the 9 HR and 28 RBI in 24 games, he's done nothing.
  22. 6 pitches for 3 outs Koji? What is wrong with you today?
  23. Well, the Giants got one decent year from Zito, last year. Pretty incredible that it was Zito who had to save the Giants from elimination by St. Louis in Game 5 of the NLCS and he pulled it off.
  24. Yes, as much as we criticize Sox management for mishandling this and that, they seem to have handled Middlebrooks's situation pretty well.
