    I'm predicting that the Yankees will make a serious push to move A-Rod. I think they are fed up with him and benching him those last two games, while other guys were slumping just as bad, was the proof. His production and durability have both been in steady decline and he's obviously not the best clubhouse guy either. They're going to have to come up with something creative to move him of course.

    Personally I think benching A-Rod for the last two games, while many other guys were slumping just as bad, sends a clear message that they want him gone. And I think there's a very good chance they will trade him, but it will be one of those 'creative' deals, with lots of goodies for the other team. Maybe they will package a more attractive player with A-Rod, a la the Sox-Dodgers caper.

    Sounds totally insane to me.

    I know. They have mastered the art of sneaking in the playoffs and then getting red hot.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Yep. 2 teams that won 88 games this year. And the Cards would have missed the playoffs completely if not for the added wild card.

    One good thing about hiring Farrell is that a lot of fans, as represented on these forums, have already buried him 6 feet deep. So we'd be way ahead of the game.

    The one of A-Rod whiffing on the beachball is a masterpiece.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Wow...CC is getting pounded.

    The funniest thing about the A-Rod contract extension was that the Yankees actually tacked 2 more years on top of what he was asking for, this of course after originally saying they were done if he opted out. It was a classic moment in the history of bad sports contracts.

    This series isn't quite over yet. The Yankees have Sabathia, Pettitte and Kuroda lined up, and I have a feeling their bats are going to break out a bit tonight.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Right, they could have VMart as primary DH and Young back to the OF if that's how they want to go.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Coke has saved the last 2 games. Amazing.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Not a bad thought.
  14. Bellhorn04
    That's why to this day I thank God for that umpiring crew in Game 6. It still strikes me as incredible that they fixed both of those calls.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Seriously? I have to take a look at that replay.
  16. Bellhorn04
    The Phillies hired him as a coach. He'll probably be their next manager.
  17. Bellhorn04
    I'm interpreting all this as reverse psychology. Here, I'll run with it too. Sabathia is a lock. O's have NO CHANCE today.

    I agree with the stark contrast, I agree that the mark of incompetence was all over the 2012 season. I hope that the Sox FO experienced this year like having s*** rubbed in their faces every day and that it made them desperate to do much better.

    OK, I made some comments about Gonzalez too, so having given this some thought I'm going to try to clarify my position. Gonzalez was in our system for 2 years and his numbers were not good at all. Though oddly his one outing for the PawSox had a line of 5 innings, 1 run, 2 hits, 1 walk, 5 K's. Somehow when the O's acquired he quickly transformed into a very effective major league pitcher with a 3.25 ERA as a rookie and a great outing last night in the Stadium. So what happened? Did we screw up, or was this just bad luck/bad timing of the type that frequently happens. The thing is, the Red Sox system has hardly covered itself in glory as far as producing starters the last 5 years, has it? Doubie is about it. So you look at the Red Sox starters having an ERA of 5.19 this year, then you look at Gonzalez pitching beautifully, and for me anyway, it's pretty hard not to want to scream a little.

    Lavarnway didn't exactly get off to a roaring start on offence or defence either. Yikes.
  21. Bellhorn04
    OK, but again, it would be helpful if you would be more specific about which comments you find embarrassing and insulting. Then the people who made the comments could respond.
  22. Bellhorn04
    What the hell are you talking about? I've been reading this thread and it's been a good, civil discussion. Please respond to specific posts instead of making blanket statements like that.
  23. Bellhorn04
    If by restraint you mean staying under the 189 million lux tax threshold, then I'll agree with you. Baseball has become an incredible money making machine and big market teams are going to spend big. Look at what the Dodgers just did, and they've already said they're going to spend more this offseason. The only thing I can see as a possibility is that the length of contracts might come down...eventually.
  24. Bellhorn04
    I think I have to agree.
  25. Bellhorn04
    8 years left on the contract.
