  1. Ortiz would probably hit like a man possessed if he went to the Yankees. It would be a new surge of motivation for him. I could see him haunting us for 3 years at least. Maybe that's just my old Red Sox paranoia coming out.
  2. Jordan was the man. It's a huge compliment to Bryant that anybody even thinks about comparing him to Jordan.
  3. No thanks. My head would explode if I ever saw Ortiz in pinstripes knocking balls into the RF porch and celebrating with A-Rod in the dugout.
  4. We've got the edge in the pitching matchup...Felix's ERA is .02 lower.
  5. I think it's too early to toss in the towel. But the thing about trading Youkilis is, it has nothing to do with tossing in the towel. It's about WMB being a better player right now. We'll be seeing Kalish in RF very soon. The transition is already underway.
  6. The K/BB numbers especially are tremendous...it's a very encouraging development to say the least.
  7. Last 4 games for Buchholz: 31 IP 6 ER 28 K 6 BB
  8. Hopefully Doubront gets back on track tomorrow.
  9. Buchholz is 7-2. Too funny. If he keeps pitching like this he could get in the Cy hunt.
  10. That's right. Valentine pulled off an amazing double switch earlier this year. The one where he took Middlebrooks out and put Punto in. Might have cost us that game. But it was interesting.
  11. Ah, the great strategic dilemma of NL baseball. Pinch-hit for the pitcher, or don't pinch-hit. Makes the game so much more exciting.
  12. I'm multi-tasking...following the game, getting some work done, and, occasionally, acknowledging other family members.
  13. Don't forget shoppers, the Kevin Youkilis Showcase Event is continuing daily from now until July 30. Watch his batting average drop, watch his price drop. How low will it go?
  14. That's ridiculous, isn't it.
  15. If the umps were doing a better a job this wouldn't be an issue. In fact many of the umps are probably doing a very good job. But some of them are screwing up seriously.
  16. The Youk Showcase Event must go on.
  17. Using technology to review calls is already here, in all the major sports, including baseball. And I think it's been a good thing.
  18. Technology could be added to balls and strikes calls without taking anything away from the umps by implementing a limited challenge system. But the first obstacle to that is that everyone would have to agree that there is such a thing as a fixed strike zone. What a radical concept that is...
  19. I have no hate for Youk whatsoever. But I think everyone agrees there's no chance he's with Boston beyond this year, so it's just a question of when he should be traded.
  20. evilhand, man, I like your stuff, but don't lose your cool. I argue with Elktonnick quite a bit myself. He's certainly not a troll. Troll is a very strong word.
  21. At first squeezing Youkilis into the lineup was working OK because they were keeping WMB in there as well. Now that WMB is day-on day-off and Youk is flailing it looks like s***. Trade Youk now for whatever, get it over with.
  22. I dunno...I think Crawford's got 142 million pretty good reasons to recover quickly from the slight John Henry inflicted upon his sensitive soul.
  23. I have to say, the Youkilis situation has turned into just one more major headache for this team. There were some good signs for a while but now his bat has gone stone cold dead again. Meanwhile Middlebrooks has no idea day to day if he's going to be in the lineup. It's quickly become a dismal situation. Maybe the Red Sox don't want to be embarrassed by how little they're going to get for Youk.
