StrangeSox Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 QUOTE(stretchstretch @ Jul 7, 2007 -> 01:35 PM) ....that's a 68yr record broken by a team that is two seasons removed from the World freaking Championship.... During the game, my Mom, who is a casual fan, turned and asked me "They just won it all two years ago. How did they get so bad?" I just had to shake my head and laugh. I've been doing that a lot this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santo=dorf Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 QUOTE(stretchstretch @ Jul 7, 2007 -> 01:35 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> here's a peachy stat: It was the most runs scored by one team in a doubleheader since the Boston Red Sox totaled 35 in a sweep of the Philadelphia Athletics on July 4, 1939, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. ....that's a 68yr record broken by a team that is two seasons removed from the World freaking Championship.... First off, 32 < 35 Second of all, with the way it is worded it would've been the Twins who broke that record, not the Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Pratt Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I said it before: the IL sucks, Gavin Floyd's been through AAA too many times to give it much credence, the Major Leagues are his next test. I'm not saying he's a bust because of yesterday. I've always thought he was a bust. I'm just saying, he had to go out and prove something, and he didn't. Like in the spring when he allowed Danks to win a job Floyd had been handed on a silver platter to take. I hope Floyd gets a few more shots. I want him to pitch at least five more games. Just to see. But his "live arm" isn't what's advertised (no, like I said -- he is not in the mid-90s "consistently") and his control's not better and his presence is terrible. I just don't see how the Gavin Floyd era will end well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
