Those were some tough games....
joe
lackey, escobar, weaver, saunders, santana. Not a bad playoff rotation if u ask me. just dont let colon near it.
Panther Joe
This was a huge game for him because he was facing a team that just saw him last week. Looks like Joe learned more about the Red Sox than they did about him. He's good.
Speier's K of Drew was huge, but from what I saw it was more Drew's failure than Speier domination. Speier was throwing sliders that didn't seem to go very fast or have a whole lot of movement on them. Drew struck out without taking the bat off his shoulder, looks like he went up there looking to pinch walk instead of pinch hit. Shields had nothing. K-Rod was K-God. I hope Scot and Justin turn things around because we sure are going to need them.

Shields
BTW, does anybody know when Howie is expected back?
Yeah, I have been thinking this too
I am guessing they will DL Aybar and activate HK 47
You are correct, sir
Nearly scored 5 on Tavarez
Good enough

Good thing you're not a Yankee fan. They've
Like we go around saying how ridiculous it is that we didn't sell the farm to get Teixeira or Soriano or whatever. The Yankees have spent everything and more and they're not even the best team in their division.
Furthermore, look at the Red Sox. We're 1.5 games behind them. They just spent money like a bunch of drunken sailors and they're 2-3 vs the lowly Angels in the last 5.
Howie, Saunders, Kotch and Speier is a better look than Kennedy, Colon, Erstad and Donnelly. It's a better team. I'm looking for them to go deep!

Who would you rather have?
If being a GM is so easy, how come everyone I know hates their fantasy team and can't figure out how to win every year? How's your fantasy team doing?
by melvintoast on Aug 19, 2007 10:57 PM PDT up reply actions
I don't have a fantasy team.
And in all seriousness, if I were to pick a GM for my team, it would have to be Scareduck. The man tells it like it is, and for that, I respect.
Fuck Coletti
Beinfest has helped to build and dismantle a World Series champion. However, what he received in the dismantling process was a ridiculous haul. Hanley Ramirez as a Red Sox would sicken me for a generation.

Okay so you also choose scareduck?

Minaya. Yeah he's good.
Ryan has something like 4 divisions in 14 years and never made it to the WS
Scoreboard.

Lost two-fifths of his starting rotation
How about this for naysayers. Started with Kris Benson and Xavier Nady.
Flipped Benson over to Baltimore in exchange for John Maine and Julio Lugo. Traded Xavier Nady over to the Pirates in exchange for Roberto Hernandez and Oliver Perez (Robo was the big piece in the trade, to replace Duaner Sanchez who was injured in a car accident the day before the deadline, giving Minaya no time to move...he demanded Ollie as a throw-in).
Then took Julio Lugo (who was the main piece of the Benson trade), flipped him to Arizona, and snatched up Orlando Hernandez.
So, basically, in exchange for a now-injured Kris Benson and for Xavier Nady, Minaya has assembled 3/5ths of his 2007 rotation (5th in the N.L. in ERA, 7th in the Majors), in Oliver Perez, John Maine, and El Duque. They are a combined 31-19 with a 3.42ERA.
He also traded away Yusemeiro Petit (at the peak of his hype/trade value) and Mike Jacobs (also while at peak value for Carlos Delgado. Petit still can't crack a rotation, is no longer even with the Marlins, and is fairly wild (albeit, with good stuff, and he's not even yet 23). Jacobs has a .751OPS in 280 at-bats with the Marlins this year.
Minaya has had the franchise for less than three seasons thus far. They had 71 wins in 2004, without him. In his first year with them, they went up to 83 wins. They've improved every year thus far.
And I haven't even said anything of how he got Luis Castillo for nothing from the Twins, or how he signed Beltran and Pedro in the same offseason, and brought in the so-far successful Willie Randolph.
All without giving up Milledge, Wright, or Reyes...three guys who will keep them competitive for a decade.

Shame on Frankie?
by Caseys Kiss of Death on Aug 19, 2007 9:44 PM PDT up reply actions
Chavez is arguably the most important
In addition, Chavez is widely loved and respected in his country (except by a small percentage of wealthy elites, maybe Frankie is including himself in this group) so to diss him would not exactly be good for the image of a public figure in Venezuela.
In October,2002, Chavez was running
Considering what Frankie was doing for a living, and where, his reaction was not such a bad political move on his part, considering his age.
Widely loved
Well, yeah, when you shut down all the newspapers & TV stations unless they praise and glorify you, it's easy to appear "widely loved and respected."
The truth is another matter entirely.
I can't believe that you believe that
Chavez is a lot of things, but "widely loved" is propaganda worthy of a leftist Karl Rove.
