southsideirish71 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 08:26 PM) Uh. Our 1-2 hitters. Pods is fourth in the AL out of leadoff hitters. Hito is fifth I believe, though don't quote me on that. You sure can make dogs*** sound like steak. Are you sure you didnt get released after the last Gulf War.

fathom Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 02:28 AM) If we don't win tonight and it looks bleak, this series was a failure. Our last series was a failure considering Cleve swept KC while we were winning 2 of 3. We just keep dropping games. It was a failure, but that's better than a disaster.

WSoxMatt Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 09:26 PM) Matt Lawton won the game for the Yankees tonight. He was available at the deadline for a minimal cost. Now, I'm not saying we should have gone after him, but there were some players available. However, KW went after the two superstars, KG Jr. and Huff. Matt Lawton is hitting .114 for the NYY with 2 hrs and 4 rbis He hasnt done much of anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 02:28 AM) Please don't take this as an attack, but as a genuine question: where would Lawton actually play? Who would he be an upgrade over (aside from Timo, of course) Since we knew Pods was going on the DL, he would have been an excellent choice to leadoff when he was out. And jphat...before the trade, Lawton was having a better year than Pods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 QUOTE(Harry&JimmyRocked @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 07:26 PM) mccarthy and jenks aren't jack s*** on a world series champion. but we act like they are our ace in the hole. Look, just remember this. Next year, our closer and our 5th starter will be paid $400,000 a piece. It will stay that way for several years. Right now, we seriously cannot afford to trade away young people. This team has a lot of guys getting paid decently well, and a lot of guys who are going to go up in price. The only way we can afford to keep any of these pieces together, including just hte top 2 in our pitching staff, will be to have some young guys take the places of people. You cannot build a team of all veterans on a $75 million salary and have them be winners. You need youth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenks looks good but he needs some experience in some tight games, even though monday he came in with guys on already and yesterday rowand blew it, he just wasn't locating his curveball like he should or else they would've had no chance.

If you count in all the chances he has thrown away to score by getting caught stealing and by getting picked off... that negates from his obp in my eyes. I mean sure he gets on but he doesn't give us a chance to score waaaaaaaaaaaay too f***ing often. He is a s***ty base runner.... plain and simple.
