caulfield12 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 (edited) Yankees batted around twice now in the late innings. Russell Martin, .158 heading into that at-bat, adds two more on a double off the CF wall. Unreal. Next batter Nunez gets on and Valentine gets booed yet again when he hooks yet another pitcher out of there. It's strange to be rooting against Boston, but most fans nationally now dislike them even more than the Yankees. Especially now with Valentine. Why is Bobby V. tipping his cap to the fans, lol? What's even more amusing is that Francona has the Sunday Night Game for ESPN!!! Wonder what's going through his thoughts now? He got the loudest ovation yesterday for the 100th anniversary, more than YAZ and Fisk and Rice and Dwight Evans.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 The Red Sox are awful. Serves them right for letting the best GM of the last 10 years get away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Aviles falls down on a routine grounder. Jeter safe on a "hit." Can't give an error if you lose your footing and fall down, forgot about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming in to today, worst 3 bullpen ERA's in baseball: Chicago Cubs Boston Red Sox Tampa Bay Rays. You're right, Theo wouldn't dare go into a season with the #29 bullpen in MLB. He'd never settle for worse than #28. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) Phillies about to end their 13 game winning streak in PETCO Park. Cory Luebke has to be an early favorite for NL ROY, or Rookie Pitcher of the Year. That kid can deal. And his stats will always be skewed by playing 1/2 of his games in that mausoleum, same with Clayton Richard when he first went over there and everyone was complaining about how well he was doing. But Luebke's a legitimate top-of-the-line starter. BTW, have NESN, WEEI and the Boston Globe websites been shut down, as well as THE SONS OF SAM HORN?

caulfield12 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Hope this plays out better than the Sirotka/David Wells deal and Santos isn't out for a significant period of time. At least he actually reported to the Blue Jays in shape (unlike Pineda) and pitched for the first 2-3 weeks, and demonstrated the same velocity and stuff he had last season with the Sox.
