    I obviously can't provide evidence that they didn't.
  2. Bellhorn04
    What's the evidence that the Yankees knew about A-Rod's PED use when they re-upped his contract?
  3. Bellhorn04
    It's hard not to enjoy seeing the Yankees get burned on some of these big contracts. They bent over for A-Rod's opt-out clause, then they agreed to let Sabathia have an opt-out clause of his own and now they're getting burned on that too. Hardly even noticed is that in 2012-13 A. J. Burnett has given Pittsburgh 331 innings with a 3.21 ERA, while having 20 million of his 33 million salary paid by the Yankees.

    Well of course he got off to a dismal start. OPS by month: April .670 May .612 June .826 July .885 It seems like one of the keys to the Red Sox success this year is that different guys have been really hot and coming through with big hits at different times. In the early going it was Napoli and Nava. Lately it's been Gomes and Drew.

    I would be shocked. As good a player as he is, economically it just doesn't work with Bradley as his replacement. Also don't forget we just added $15 million to next year's payroll with Peavy.
  6. Bellhorn04
    I think the Papelbon battle here has been a classic, and I was on the wrong side of it for the most part. Thankfully Paps blew the whole thing into irrelevance with his obvious decline this year.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, playing in Boston is much safer for outfielders. Just ask Ellsbury.
  8. Bellhorn04
    He was going to play second but Cabrera couldn't go.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Yes, and he extended his streak of games without an extra-base hit to 21.

    Back-to-back sac flies for the Sox for the second time this year. Awesome.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Totally logical move. They sent him down for Wright because they figured they might need a reliever to go multiple innings after the 15-inning game. It worked out perfectly did it not? Workman will be back shortly I'm sure.
  12. Bellhorn04
    I know he's a great player, but personally I find the trade speculation to be a pain in the ass. And the very sound of 'emptying the farm system' makes me want to puke.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Collateral damage I guess.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Now it's reported that A-Rod is going to take a deal. I have to say MLB did a good job on all this. They boxed A-Rod into an impossible position. Checkmate.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Don't they do a Lyin' Latino Factor adjustment for that now?
  16. Bellhorn04
    Yes, after yet another game-changing blown call by the umps. Overbay should have been rung up on a checked swing that went too far, which would have ended the inning 0-0. The crazy thing is that it was a virtual replay of the previous pitch, when the same checked swing got called a strike. More replay reviews are definitely on the way.

    Showalter didn't even use the 7-run rule tonight with Gonzalez. Left him in for 9 runs plus a baserunner.
  18. Bellhorn04
    I am with YOTN on this one. Man-breast jokes do nothing for me.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Ah, Peter North...one of our hometown heroes.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Jesus Christ...I just read that with Norris traded, Erik Bedard is the highest paid player on the Astros at 1.15 million.
  21. Bellhorn04
    You couldn't work Fillmore into that?
  22. Bellhorn04
    Exactly.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Quality Starts is a crude measure but at least it gives you some idea of how many good starts the guy has given you out of his total starts.
  24. Bellhorn04
    I think for this kind of analysis you should also be looking at things like Quality Starts and Quality Start %.
  25. Bellhorn04
    The prospect of getting Lee was exciting, but when it seemed like we might be giving up something like Bradley and Ranaudo to get him, I had a sick feeling. I think we'll all be glad BenCh went the conservative route.
