That's fair.  But it's f***tarded the argument that is trying to be presented that

Buehrle's not an ace.  If Buehrle's not an ace, no pitcher in baseball is an ace.

 

He's not. True aces include, Peavy, Santana, Mulder, Hudson, Halladay, Oswalt, Clemens, Schmidt(when healthy), Johnson(when healthy), Schilling(when healthy), Garland, Livan Hernandez, Colon, Harden. Those guys are aces. They're all great pitchers and have no problems taking out elite teams. It's all the same for them. For Buehrle it's not.

BUT HE LOST TO THE RED SOX AND THE YANKEES!!!!!!!!!!!

 

And A's 3 times IIRC, and Minny.

I know you're just copying what nite's saying, but I don't know why or what's his reasoning to bring the Yankees into this.  The last times Buehrle saw the Yanks was in April of 2004.  He split those games FWIW.

 

And he got smacked around in one of those games giving up something like 7 or 8 runs in the first 2 innings.

And he also went 8 giving up 2 runs in NY. But let's continue to focus on the negatives.

Sorry to doubt you GreasyWheels but I had to see this for myself to to believe it. Ozuna is indeed starting in LF. And look at Boston: no Damon, Milar or Varitek. -If Garland shuts them down they will say he didn't play against the A team.

 

Chicago White Sox
Pablo Ozuna LF .281
Tadahito Iguchi 2B .283
Carl Everett DH .264
Paul Konerko 1B .268
Aaron Rowand CF .285
Jermaine Dye RF .265
A.J. Pierzynski C .270
Joe Crede 3B .243
Juan Uribe SS .248
 Jon Garland P (16-5 3.29)


Boston Red Sox
Gabe Kapler CF .367
Edgar Renteria SS .279

That boston game could have been less earned runs to as Aaron actually had a bad jump on a ball that he catches 95 percent of the time. Saying Buehrle hasn't been an ace this year is ridiculous absolutely ridiculous.

Wait...

 

Mulder is a career ERA+ of 115.

 

Buehrle is a career ERA+ of 125.

 

Yet Mulder is the ace?

 

Credibility? Down the drain.

Last night Nite said he was going to make a thread as to why Mark isn't an ace. I think he did some research and just couldn't find anything to back up his argument, therefore no thread.

Same goes for Garland, Livan, and Colon.
