daa84 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 08:35 PM) I think what's impressed me most is his presence. He doesn't look like a skinny kid who's one pitch away from giving up a 450 foot homer today. Instead, he's been in and out, and up and down, with his pitches, and he's been able to get away with some high change-ups by throwing them in the right counts. yeah, i hope ozzie lets him go til he gets touched up for a run, If he does. only 80 some pitches thru 7 so he should be good to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 QUOTE(the southside tiger @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 02:35 AM) No, thats like cheating. Whats the fun in rooting for a team thats just going to buy whatever it needs? I like rooting for the Sox. Homegrown players, some trades and a few FAs. Jeter, Williams and Rivera are the only Yankees to be with the Yanks before stardom. For the Sox, ARow, PK, Crede, Thomas, Buehrle, Garland, Jenks, McCarthy, Marte and Cotts all came to prominence with us. Some of them were with other organizations, but they never did anything before coming here. We had to take risks on them. The Yanks never do that. Yankees don't do that, but I've heard some people complain that this year's Sox team is just a collection of free agents and traded players. As ridiculous as that is, it's the type of attitude that a lot of people have when it comes to baseballl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great defensive player, switch hitter, tremendous attitude, and just about to reach his peak. He's also from Ga Tech, so that's a big bonus for me.

Might as well take McCarthy out now, and let him keep his confidence where it is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the southside tiger Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Could have fooled me vs. Miguel Tejada, he went right at him. It was an epic duel. He is 25 going on 26 and still needs to learn more about how to adjust to hitters. This year has been a big step forward for him. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> One moment of bravery and courage? Is that all you can muster? Watch Pedro pitch. He attacks everyone. He would go right after Pujols, Vlad or any of these other superstars. Garland would be a coward going up against them. The greats never back down. Garland does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we're paying Garland $10 million bucks and he's not producing like Pedro, then you can b****. Until then, how about you stop posting and learn a little? You've already called Paul Konerko overrated, and called for -- wait, let me try and say this without laughing -- Sean Casey to replace him. I also suggest you read the thread about personal attacks on players. Calling someone a 'coward' and a guy 'without balls' is borderline attacking...

I deal specifically with that. They didnt do anything with other teams! We gambled on them. That was my point. The Yankees gambled with Johnson giving him a 2 year huge extension. He's on their payroll until he's at least 44. Pavano was a $50 million or so gamble. Its kind of fun to have a team like the Yankees around. Its a lot more satisfying beating them than the Royals.
