Fucked up a DP
Woulda been 3 outs I believe but he took his time on the throw to first. Matzusaka wound up giving up 3 ER’s

Not as huge as a 2 run home run in the ninth with 2 outs.

U mean the offense u don’t want to trade prospects to improve?
by matzushocka45 on May 24, 2009 3:57 PM EDT up reply actions
He just hit a 3 run homer today.
He’s slow, and unfortunately couldn’t get the ball where he wanted it last night.
Plus, the Mets played almost perfect defense in the 9th – their only goof (Wright’s throw) was fixed immediately by a great play (Castillo’s stretch).
You're playing "Yankee ball" about the issue
To you, a trade is the only solution. Why give up valuable prospects for half a year or a full year of service from some guy?
I didn't like the old one very much. I didn't see the ball there very well. - Julio Lugo on the old Yankees Stadium.
Yes. That offense
Offenses don’t click every single game. Look at the Tigers a year or two ago. Or the Rangers this year. Do they score 10 times every game? No. Do they have close losses? Yes. Every offense isn’t always on. Papi is just the black hole of our offense at this point.
I didn't like the old one very much. I didn't see the ball there very well. - Julio Lugo on the old Yankees Stadium.
Yes, we need to replace papi,with someone who can hit 30+ IS THE POINT.
by matzushocka45 on May 24, 2009 4:00 PM EDT up reply actions
Then wait till the offseason.
Why give up prospects? What the hell are we gonna get back if we clean out our farm system? I guarantee it damn sure won’t be an Adam Dunn or Adrian Gonzalez. It’ll probably be a Magglio Ordonez or Victor Martinez or Jermaine Dye/Konerko.
I didn't like the old one very much. I didn't see the ball there very well. - Julio Lugo on the old Yankees Stadium.
Meh, like I said yesterday, you have to give to get. My fear is we screw around and end up signing Holliday next season. i think Bay is playing himself into a huge contract somewhere else.
by matzushocka45 on May 24, 2009 4:04 PM EDT up reply actions
We'll get Bay signed by the end of the summer.
Holliday will go to the MFY and continue to be “meh”.
Last four guys:
Mags: getting and can’t hit as well anymore
VMart: way over-performing
Dye: I suggested it a while ago, but I’d like to look at Quentin.
Konerko: has been horrible for a few years, IIRC.
Quentin won't happen
Dye probably wouldn’t even happen, seeing as that is their only real offense right now.
I didn't like the old one very much. I didn't see the ball there very well. - Julio Lugo on the old Yankees Stadium.
dye doesnt want to come to Boston, he said so last year or year before…it almost happened.
by matzushocka45 on May 24, 2009 4:08 PM EDT up reply actions
Nobody.
Honestly, nobody. A team like the White Sox would probably be willing to give up Konerko for Penny and a mid level prospect (Like Hagadone), but even that is too much for a hitter who sucks ass now.
I didn't like the old one very much. I didn't see the ball there very well. - Julio Lugo on the old Yankees Stadium.
you would not give Lars/Buch + for someone under control for 4-6 years who is proven?

Who is this 4-6 year proven player?
Name a name and I will name a yes or no
I didn't like the old one very much. I didn't see the ball there very well. - Julio Lugo on the old Yankees Stadium.
Quentin
A-Gonz
Votto
H-ram (least likely scenario)

None of those would happen.
Votto would, but even Votto isn’t half of what Lars could be.
I didn't like the old one very much. I didn't see the ball there very well. - Julio Lugo on the old Yankees Stadium.
Yes, but I don’t belive the club believes in Buchholz anymore, or he would be in the bigs NOW.
by matzushocka45 on May 24, 2009 4:13 PM EDT up reply actions
Or..
All of our starters could be proven guys who are doing fine so they have no reason to bring him up
I didn't like the old one very much. I didn't see the ball there very well. - Julio Lugo on the old Yankees Stadium.
He doesn't need to be up.
I don’t believe in him, but I’d like to see him up – BUT, only if Penny or Wake start struggling to be MLB level.
I doubt Votto is the one they would trade
It would probably be Yonder Alonso, and he is not an ML ready player.

You do realize that none of the guys you mentioned is under team control for 4-6 years, except Hanley?
And all of them are too cheap for their teams to salary-dump.

the homer that wasnt
did you guys get a good look? off the bat it looked gone. The met announcers (who are actually good and honest) thought it was foul but said the guys in their truck said it was fair. the replay showed it off the bud sign, which “looks” fair compared to the foul pole, but ron darling pointed out is at least partly in foul territory…
1-2-3: Inning Over
Quick inning by Wakefield. Just what Boston needs. :)
Knowing tito
he will have him out there and pull him if/when the first runner gets on.
lidge on
to try to hold a 1 run lead again against the Yankees. Lets hope he does not shit his pants again…
its not really
patience, it is that he is much better at making contact (fouling off pitches) and pitchers respect him more…
He's like 50 years old

Yeah, Hell no.
I’d rather give Chris Carter a shot over him. He’s going to have like a .220 career average.

Hmm...
I don’t think either need another hitter, but I think they’d both be interested. Wonder if we could get Cuddyer or Punto from the Twins.
Punto for Ortiz
Lol.
A couple years ago we would have rolled over in laughter. Now, I would actually want a quality utility man rather than Ortiz
I didn't like the old one very much. I didn't see the ball there very well. - Julio Lugo on the old Yankees Stadium.
Punto can barely hit,
But Cuddyer is something else. Probably pitching. Relief pitching.

If I had to trade anyone, Bard would go first. Would fetch a good name and wouldn’t be a huge loss from our pen seeing as we already have flamethrowers

I have a slightly crazy idea, one that might get me yelled at.
Paps could get us a pretty damn good bat (LaPorta?).
Papelbon could never paly for Wedge he has too much personality. That team is and always has been lifeless.
by matzushocka45 on May 24, 2009 4:52 PM EDT up reply actions
LaPorta is not a good bat yet!
I’d want fucking Ryan Braun style player for Paps.

I'm just saying.
Paps is the NUMBER ONE closer in the league. yeah, he’s had control problems, but nothing to be concerned about long term.

But he's going to bail as soon as he can.
We’d get a young star with a great bat that’s under team control for a good long while (signed a deal last season). They’d get a few months of drama queen saves, and give up on Hoffman.
Don't be hating on Paps.
He probably has a love for the sox, that is subtle.

If we keep him and he bails, I'm joining the other fans in calling him names.
I don’t really like him now.
I love the guy
He’s a badass with that staredown and dancing the Jig. But if he bails, I will despise him.
I didn't like the old one very much. I didn't see the ball there very well. - Julio Lugo on the old Yankees Stadium.
Give Theo time to make a reasonable closer contract.

he wants to be compensated for giving up his career as a starter. He has said this. paps is great, but he is not getting the kind of $$ from the sox he wants.
by matzushocka45 on May 24, 2009 5:06 PM EDT up reply actions
Oh what the fuck?
If I recall correctly, bitchboy WANTED to be a closer after he was converted. They were gonna go Joba on him and make him a starter again and he said “Nooo I am scared! Please daddy nooo!!!”

That is awful harsh.
Paps is a contributing member to this team. He’s not fucking Manny Rameriz. You should have some respect for him.

Nope
They signed Kerry Wood in the offseason. Would look like a total “We don’t trust you” move.

He doesn't
but still.. why waste all that money in the offseason to trade an A+ prospect for another closer?

Nobody wants him. He’s blown like 200saves already.

Yes but again..
Indians are a team that are looking to have a “fire sale”. Why take on two closers salaries?

True.
Bard and Masterson, together for a pretty good bat? Both are long relievers with spot start ability.
That’s actually a really nice deal for bot sides.
