Ponson is garbage, but he's no worse than anything we've already got. We're not paying anything for him so it's worth a shot.

LOL Josh Beckett has given up 27 home runs this year, most recently to a guy with a sub-.600 OPS. Is there any NL pitcher that doesn't suck? Seriously

Bert Blyleven, the single-season leader in HR allowed (50 in 1986), had a better HR per start ratio that year than Beckett
![]() Bert Blyleven 1986: 1.39 HRA/GS Josh Beckett 2006: 1.42 HRA/GS Would be pretty ridiculous if he breaks the record |

ROFL just saw a Red Sox fan with a shirt that said "Red Sox vs. Yankees: Passion vs. Payroll". What a moron

Yeah, Ponson obviously isn't an ideal starter but Chacon has just been awful after getting hit in the leg. Not expecting much out of him though and you have to assume he will be on a short leash.
On the flip side of that though those starts could have been used to help straighten Chacon out so I dunno. He is in the pen now but I don't see how he will be used in that role unless there is a blow out. |

Abreu is apparently heading to New York soon. The question is which one Mets or Yankees. The Yankees are the favorties to get him right now.

Serves Contreras right for pitching inconsistently for us and then going and winning 17 straight in Chicago
![]() Also, how much does the NL East suck apart from NY? Its like the NL West but without the competition ![]() Speaking of the NL, the wildcard should be cool this year, 6 teams within 3 games of eachother or something, LA has it by 1/2 |

Buehrle roughed up for 8 runs. Yankees bunted 4 times in his last two innings and the Sox made some bad defensive plays.

Man, aside from like Greg Maddux and i guess Glavine, Mike Mussina has easily been one of the most consistent pitchers of the last 15-years, pity he won't make the Hall

He deserves it more than Curt Schilling, but I don't think Schilling deserves it either.

Difference is Schilling has won a world series, Mussina has no WS, no 20 win seasons or completely ultra dominating seasons.
Thing is, probably no one after Tom Glavine will get to 300 wins (assuming he does), Mussina if he carries on well this year and then pitches a few more seasons could probably get to about 260-270 and close to 3000 K's, that ain't half bad. |

How anybody who isn't a Red Sox fan doesn't hate Curt Schilling is beyond me. Zito hits Ortiz in the fingers obviously unintentionally, so yeah trying to kill Nick Swisher with a baseball is probably the best way to handle that situation.
OH WAIT I forgot he pitched a baseball game with what may or may not have been blood in his sock. He's an American hero and it was one of the greatest postseason performances in history. My mistake Last edited by The Miz; 07-16-2006 at 01:56 PM. |

Also looks like Boston are going down to the A's right now
![]() I really fancy us to give Boston a good run for their money for the division title. If we get Matsui, Sheff and maybe Carl Pavano (not sure what the predictions are for his return though) back for the playoffs (providing we get in) i reckon we'd have an outside chance, especially given the experience of a lot of our guys, but i dunno Detroit are lookin hot shit right now |

Sweep against the White Sox is pretty big to start off the second half, especially with the other Sox not playing too great right now.
