  1. I'm sure he's lucked his way in to a .319/.407/.616 slash stat. His bat speed will be catching up with him any time now...
  2. Rooting for the Yankees tonight. If the Red Sox and Yankees both win, the Red Sox lead in the division increases a game.
  3. Webster doesn't look quite so nervous today.
  4. Papelbon would provide good depth, but I have a feeling there will be an equally good reliever available who would cost less in prospects. Assuming Buchholz is able to pitch in the second half, I'm still not sold on the idea that we need a starter. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but Buchholz and Lackey are about as good a top two starters as you're going to find on any team this year. Lester could be a quality #3 if he fixes his mechanical issues, if not Dempster would make for an average #3. Maybe we get lightning in a bottle with Doubront, De La Rosa, Webster, Ranaudo or some other young pitcher. If not, we should still have the depth to make the playoffs. There aren't going to be many quality starting pitchers available, and those that are available and going to come at a steep price.
  5. A couple of days ago, Buster Olney reported the Phillies were talking to the Red Sox and the Tigers about Papelbon. http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/9412832/mlb-trade-deadline-preview He wouldn't be a bad pick-up if all it took was a garbage prospect.
  6. He's a little old for Route 42. Better make a trade.
  7. I doubt it has much range.
  8. I hear sexual diseases have all kind of transitive properties.
  9. And sex with Derek Jeter.
  10. Well, this sucks. I wonder how new this injury is.
  11. Blue Jays fans are so bitter. I saw Lester pitch in Toronto earlier in the year and when he pitched well BJ fans were complaining "Oh, great, 2007 Lester showed up." Lester didn't even pitch well in 2007. They should just stick to drunk complaining about hockey.
  12. Apparently, a Red Sox fan just won $4.3 million from a meathead Yankees fan …that stabbed him in the neck. http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/9430635/boston-red-sox-fan-stabbed-connecticut-ny-yankees-fan-gets-43m
  13. 5 IP , 6 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 5 K for Rubby He has a 0.75 ERA in his last 11 starts and a 2.30 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and more than a strikeout an inning overall.
  14. Good old Blue Jays pitching. It's going to take a lot more than a winning streak to make them look like contenders.
  15. Entering today, he was 0-5 with an 8.85 ERA against the Yankees. But these aren't your daddy's Yankees.
  16. :clap: You should run for president.
  17. Saltalamacchia had some as well. There have been documented cases of players with anxiety issues, Melancon is not one of them.
  18. In the immortal words of Led Zeppelin, "the song remains the same". They already had the worst run differential in the division heading in to the game, they're now officially four games out of first place and only 2.5 games out of last place. Boston and Toronto are playing each other tonight, so they're going to lose ground somewhere.
  19. I went to a game in Toronto earlier this year. There was a group of two women a few rows in front of me that had ridiculous amounts of cleavage and between innings would jump up and down chanting with a "We love BJ's" sign. At one point, a few drunk guys in the section started chanting it with them.
  20. Sounds like textbook backtracking.
  21. What a moron. He told the New York media that A-Rod should "STFU" and he's angry it became a big story? Actions and consequences. How long has Cashman been in New York?
  22. No, we're talking about one person's wild speculation. I googled Mark Melancon and anxiety and no one else is speculating about it.
  23. Based on the 20 innings he pitched for the Yankees as a rookie? That's idiotic. It sounds like something a Yankees fan would say to justify the trade afterward.
  24. Seems likely. In 2010, we got off to a slow start and were marred by injuries. We had the best record in baseball at the ASB in 2011, but we only had a 1.5 game lead. And in 2012 we were terrible.
