Red Sox-Yankees Series

Recommended Posts

There's no "defense" in Sabremetrics.

Sabremetrics don't ignore the importance of defense. They certainly do a better job measuring it (range factor, defensive win shares) than traditional fielding statistics. And the fact that Pokey Reese is gainfully employed is an indicator itself.

Oh, OK. And yeah, Damon tries to make himself look better by making "big" catches that really aren't that good.

 

I will say though, I loved doing those diving/jumping catches in World Series Baseball on the old Sega Genesis system back in the day.

I think he was trying to rebound off the wall to get the ball back in. But he didn't need to jump.

This is as good a time as any to give this a shot.

Have they said why the Red Sox are wearing their Spring Training jersey?

C'mon Posada. Throw your bat. Throw a temper tantrum. Cuss the pitcher and the catcher out.

I was hoping he would do something stupid and get himself kicked out.

 

God I hate Jorge.

They wear em' for every Sunday home game. It's their "alternate" home jersey.

And we get loud mouth fans with the IQ of 5 each complaining. I'm not surprised, but I won't finish that because it would be very bias.

Jesus fucking Christ.

 

8 million a year for this fuck.

John Kerry could relieve Contreras.

What does a wild pitch solve in this situation?

John Kerry isn't getting my vote since he's a BoSox fan. I'll have to vote for a third party since I hate Bush because he's Bush.

I'm trying to find a nice way to describe Jose, but all I can think of is "Loser." He crumples everytime someone mentions the Red Sox.

I never thought I'd say this, but can we get Sutcliffe out of the booth and put Morgan back in? That joke about Cashman was the last straw.

Oh well.

 

7 and a half wouldn't be that bad. And they can still maybe come back.

 

I suck at this blind positivity shit.

It's not blind positivity. Believe it or not, both teams aren't that far apart in terms of quality, so it's only natural that neither one get the definite upperhand in the year-long series.
