  1. FO didn't screw him up. This was what he wanted. They gave him the opportunity to be closer but he wanted to start. This is all on Daniel. Also I predict you're wrong, he'll be back in the bigs this year.
  2. Apparently they're sending the Peralta pine tar sample to NY for lab analysis...Remy was having a good yuk about this last night.
  3. Ellsbury is a goner...that is one of the safer assumptions on player movement you could possibly make about this team.
  4. K's and BB's look a little better at least...
  5. Nava up-to-the-minute...333/449/520...that's sick!
  6. You have to keep up here man...the argument for keeping Scutaro is now an option play...if he wouldn't have been better than Aviles, he most certainly would have been a better utility guy than Punto.
  7. I wouldn't say 2-3-2 is totally unfair, but I do think it gives an edge to the team with the 3. They have the opportunity to take one of the first two and then close it at home like Miami is on the verge of doing. I think that puts a lot of pressure on the home team to hold serve the first two games.
  8. I think that's only partially true now. I think the offense has actually been the bigger culprit over the last month or so. The numbers support that.
  9. Leads in NBA games are not very secure things...you can blow a 10-point lead in about a minute. OKC has come from behind to win a lot of their games this postseason.
  10. Yeah, the 2-2-1-1-1 is a much fairer setup, really.
  11. No, it's 2-3-2 in the Finals, because of the East-West travel issues.
  12. That's a point we could debate all today, I guess. I think even the Red Sox and Yankees have to draw a line somewhere called the budget limit. Sure if they really wanted to they could spend another $5-10 million, and then another $5-10 million on top of that...
  13. Of course the difference in salary between Scutaro and Punto is 4.5 million + the luxury tax. They said the Scutaro money was going to go toward pitching and it hasn't happened yet. If it never does happen this year then I'll have to agree with your criticism on this.
  14. To me it's been a great series between two teams that are very close in strength. Seesaw games, great individual performances. Miami has to close it out in Game 5, they do not want to go back to OKC.
  15. Strange but true: Red Sox team ERA and W/L record by month: April 5.54 11-11 May 3.93 15-14 June 3.36 8-8 The pitching has improved tremendously but not the winning part. It seems that at the same time the pitching has gotten better, the offense has gotten worse. This does give some credence to the idea that if the offense can return to form, better things are ahead for this team.
  16. Why is that? Pretty well every team in baseball has a utility player like Punto on their roster. And his career stats both offensively and defensively show he's not that bad of a player.
  17. I'd like to see some more of those corrections from you guys.
  18. It was a defensive shuffle. BV moved Gonzalez from RF back to 1B and Youk from 1B to 3B. It indicates that BV feels more comfortable right now with Youk than WMB at 3B in the late innings with a narrow lead.
  19. I think both Duquette and Epstein deserve a lot of credit for the 2004 championship. Duquette tried his ass off to bring a title to Boston, I have no doubt about that. He made some brilliant moves. He just fell a couple of good moves short.
