  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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...
  4. Us sweeping the Dodgers is a bit of a longshot. Taking 2 of 3 would be a fine achievement.
  5. I don't think we want a sweep by either team.
  6. Yanks are 5-0 since the Dempster Message.
  7. Your vision was a little off there man. Yankees took 'em both.
  8. Missed Bumgarner too. So in back-to-back series we missed the best starters. Can't ask for more than that.
  9. 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?
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. He really does. Except maybe for the 9 HR and 28 RBI in 24 games, he's done nothing.
  14. 6 pitches for 3 outs Koji? What is wrong with you today?
  15. 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.
  16. Yes, as much as we criticize Sox management for mishandling this and that, they seem to have handled Middlebrooks's situation pretty well.
  17. Right. Hopefully that's the reasoning.
  18. Morneau also has a very attractive career .993 OPS at Fenway. Any reason we shouldn't be interested in him?
  19. Now I'm definitely expecting it to happen.
  20. Here's another potentially ugly development: the Yankees are reportedly talking to the Twins about Morneau. Morneau has been hot recently. And his numbers at YS are ridiculously good. 433/507/883 in YS3. Morneau could be a great fit for us but there's no indication we're interested. We might be watching and weeping on this one.
  21. The starting pitching performances are crapshoots. Hughes has pitched 2 decent games in a row. He's not incapable of a good streak. Nor is Pettitte. The Yankees bullpen seems a lot better than ours. Ours is rapidly emerging as a potential killer. Especially with Farrell making bad decisions like using Workman on Monday.
  22. Yeah, because you're the bipolar one.
  23. Dickey is going to get pummelled. Balls will be flying into the short porch.
  24. The Yankees are pretty much a lock to win the next 2 vs. the Jays. If they lose either one I'll be pleasantly surprised.
