So my Phils are kinda alright this season
So my Phils are kinda alright this season
Yup Brad Lidge is out til the break so it's a typical year thus far.
But seriously your rotation makes mine look like store brand creamed corn. Well except for Lester, who isn't as good as Halladay now but is the best guy to have over the next 5-8 years out of both staffs, IMO.
If Dice-K Continues To Struggle, Red Sox Could Call On Old Friend Pedro Martinez - Over the Monster
While many fans such as myself have refrained from pushing the big red panic button, I couldn't resist pushing the smaller one that said "Dice-K Is Done" after Monday's performance. While I'm more skeptical than anyone on his trade value or Theo's ability to just cut ties with him, something needs to happen.
The only problem in the instance is that the Red Sox just don't have a guy that could fill that spot in the rotation.
One could argue that a guy like Alfredo Aceves, who has a great track record as a pitcher could be converted into a starter, as the Red Sox have attempted to do over the past month. I propose a better option that hardly anyone is talking about: former Red Sox pitcher and three-time Cy Young Award winner Pedro Martinez.
In a recent interview, Martinez told the New York Times that he is preparing to make yet another comeback after taking last year off. Pedro reiterated that it would take him about a month to get in game shape if a team came calling. In that interview, Martinez was asked which teams he would prefer to return to the league with:
"Id probably have to say the Red Sox. I would like to win a World Series in the National League, so the Phillies are in there, too. But for the time Im going to be playing, I think Boston is more suitable so that I can retire with the Boston Red Sox and go to the Hall of Fame with the same hat."
How about them Red Sux?
Liriano no-no'd the White Sox last night. 6bb/2k
Here comes the inning ending triple play.
Man I've been spooked all the way back to pre-2004 thinking.
I have a feeling we'll be laughing about this by September!
With the win, the Red Sox moved back into sole possession of first place in the American League East, taking a one-game lead over their rivals.
Boston can thank its success against the Bronx Bombers as a pivotal reason for being in first place. The Sox are 7-1 against the Yankees on the season and have taken the last six, five of which have come on Bronx turf.
"If you don't play well, they're going to beat you," Jeter said. "They've outplayed us every time we've played them so far. They have a good team, that's the bottom line. They can hit, they can pitch, they do a little bit of everything. If you don't play well, they're going to beat you, and that's been the case the last couple times."

Terry Francona may not be much of a hockey fan, but he is a realist. And so, a few hours before the Red Sox [team stats] faced the Tampa Bay Rays last night, the manager asked what even he knew was a rhetorical question.
Think anybody will be watching our game? he said.
Lets just say DVRs across New England likely were set to the Red Sox telecast, in which case they captured a nearly historical gem from Josh Beckett [stats].
While Bruins goalie Tim Thomas was blanking the Vancouver Canucks in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals, Beckett one-hit the Rays, retiring the final 19 batters in a 3-0 shutout at Tropicana Field.

Sawks, Twins, and Phillies will win 100+ games.
As a Pirates fan, I've finally given up on caring about baseball. I grew up loving and playing the game, but between the ineptitude of the team's management and the general state of the economics of the game, it's just not as interesting anymore. Basically, they may as well make it about a 14-team league and turn the rest into their minor league systems.
