Ramius Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 You know, someone shoudl really create a thread to keep all the yanks-red sox trash talking in, so it wouldnt pollute the rest of the board. oh wait... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew in CA Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Ponson has given up 7 ER in 4 IP tonight (so far)- any more evidence needed that the Yankees need a starter to really compete for/in the playoffs? I still have faith that IPK can be a better replacement, but not necessarily a good pitcher (at least this year), especially after trading McCutchen. Will Washburn be better? He probably won't be worse. It's possible the Yanks could wait for Wang to come back, but I don't think he'll be 100% in 4 weeks, and Hughes is just too young to make a huge difference this year. Do they actually give Pavano starts in 4 weeks? Will hell freeze over? Or do the Yankees stay put, thinking Ponson and Rasner are acceptable 4 and 5 pitchers? If they don't make the Washburn deal, at least to see (barring the recent Seattle demand for a quality prospect- he's not worth it), I don't think the Yankees will do damage in the playoffs if they make it at all. And no, this is not a reaction to tonight's Ponson performance- I've believed this since Rasner's June ERA was 5+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justnzane Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 So now Toronto is a small market? ... for baseball, it isn't a great market, and that was the point Darin. Jeez for a mod, you really do talk a lot of crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 ... for baseball, it isn't a great market, and that was the point Darin. Jeez for a mod, you really do talk a lot of crap. Who cares if it isn't a great market? It's simply not a small market and that's just an excuse for the team's inability to sell itself to what would be the 4th largest market if measured against the U.S. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Our market only cares about hockey so we can't compete against the Yankees. What a load of crap. Why do all you little weasels bring up the fact that I'm a moderator when I point out something that's unbelievably stupid? Must be a small weenie thing.

Cornerville Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 So now Toronto is a small market? No, they are a big market who has $pent plenty of $ and made some pretty poor decisions (Overbay, Thomas, Burnett are disappointments just to name a few). They need to develop some offense from within. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmwolf21 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Not trash talk, but Tribe dealt Paul Byrd to the Red Sox today for a PTBNL or cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Not trash talk, but Tribe dealt Paul Byrd to the Red Sox today for a PTBNL or cash. He's an upgrade over Zink or Bucholtz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmwolf21 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 He's an upgrade over Zink or Bucholtz. Depends on which Byrd you get. Pre-All Star Break: 18 starts, 3-10, 5.47 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, .296 Opp BA Post-All Star Break: 4 starts, 4-0, 1.24, 1.10 WHIP, .231 Opp BA His splits home versus away haven't been pretty, either. Much better at home --half the ERA, Opp. BA down, WHIP down, nearly as many wins (3) eight home starts as he had in 14 away starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oneonta Buffalo Fan 2 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Where would this thread have gone without a lovely post from me about how dominating the Sox are. And no I've never jumped ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he's on, he's very good - keeps the opposition guessing, mixes pitches, locations and speeds very well. When he's off - it's HR Derby time.

Indy Dave Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 And dominating the Wild Card. ONE MORE WIN TO GO!! You guys know all about dominating the Wild Card...no denying that. You'd have one playoff appearance in the last dozen years if it wasn't for it. I have hated the wildcard from day one. I realize I'm in the minority here. Boston winning it all the time only strengthens my feelings for the wildcard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indy Dave Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Red Sox eliminate Yankees with win against Cleveland Officially, I suppose. The Yankees eliminated themselves with 13 losses in 19 games after the hot start to the second half. Not to mention the terrible start to September.

Ramius Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 Its simply outstanding to see the yanks eliminated form playoff contention. Warms the heart. Now watching the boSux go down in 3 in the ALDS would really warm the soul. And the best? That the sox and the angels will have to tangle in the first round! At least 1 of them will be eliminated right off the bat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
