Oh, definitely.
And rolling onto the ball this year? Hysterical.
But even then he counters that with his bitchin' catch off the wall (against the Orioles), high-fiving the fan and then doubling off the baserunner.
Yea, funny stuff. This is all boris. He lost Arod as his big money puppet, so he went to Manny. Manny really changed since signing with that dirtbag. If Arod at 32 in his prime could not get what he wanted, then a declining Manny at 36, will not come close.

I think just because he's so aloof all the time in the field (like last night flashing the two out sign after making the first out) that people think he sucks in the field. But no one will run on the guy.

How was his assist ratio, home to road? Was it a product of the fenway LF, or was it his arm?

He's got a good arm. Nothing too special, but it was helped by the Monster and his smart playing and then on the road when people assumd he couldn't do anything without the Monster.

Assists are usually a bad measure of an outfielder's arm. If someone has a good arm, no one runs on him, therefore he doesn't get that many assists.
But I wouldn't doubt his arm strength illusion was a product of Fenway, but the illusion of it just carried to other stadiums and people stopped running on him.
as a 10-5 player couldn't manny veto any trade he didn't like? shenanigans!
By that time he had already signed away his right to veto a trade in exchange for the Red Sox signing away their right to pick up his option at the end of the year.

Well..the next two months should be a good judge of how good a fielder Manny can be. I dont know if you can accurately compare anyone playing off the Wall to a fielder anywhere else since you dont really have to have much range.
If you can read the bounces effectively then your going to be adequate playing left in Fenway. I think a lot of Manny's assists come from visting teams not being able to get a good read off the Monster and trying to get one too many bases.

You do realize Manny's fielding stats and ratings also came from playing half of the season away from Fenway and the Monster, right?
He was also much better than just an "adequate" defender at Fenway, and on the road.

He didn't unconditionally waive it, he got the Sox to waive the right to pick up the option at the end of the year. That way when he was traded, the team he went to didn't have any option to renew him at the end of the season. It would be my guess that the Sox told him it would be either the Dodgers or the Marlins and Manny agreed to those two teams.
Manny wanted to be a free agent at the end of the year. He was willing to quit on his teammates and complain about the ownership that has bent over backwards to accommodate him.

Then the same media was trying to get everyone to cheer for Johnny Damon when he came back.

Since I was not in on the discussions I can only talk about what I have read in the media. Show me where anyone gave the impression that Manny had waived the no trade across the board. And then show me where he has done anything other than behave like a spoiled child who didn't get his way. I bet his next ploy would be to hold his breath until he turned blue.

Nomar was traded half a season after he didn't accept an offer from the Sox that turned out to be much better than anything he has seen since. Looking at the value he has returned since he left, it is a good thing he was traded.
Pedro was also offered a fairly good deal but he went to the Mets because he got an extra year that the Sox didn't think was a good gamble based on his condition. Considering how much time he has spent on the disabled list with the Mets, I would say that the Sox called that one right.

A 32 -pitch inning isn't good but to but to be fair, the D let him down last night. There was that one inning when Pedroia booted a ball. Then Lowrie did the same which blew a sure DP. Then the wild pitch which moved the runners. These stupid mistakes are getting them into holes they have problems climbing out of.

Lets hope they can continue the offense against a tough White Sox team.

Red Sox like Rangers catcher
Posted: Monday August 11, 2008 06:12AM ET
The Rangers might provide the Red Sox a chance to acquire a young catcher this offseason. The Sox really like Taylor Teagarden, a righthanded hitter, but the Rangers might hang on to him. That could allow the Rangers to deal Jarrod Saltalamacchia to the Sox. The Sox tried to acquire Saltalamacchia at last season's trading deadline, but the big switch-hitting catcher went to Texas from Atlanta in the Mark Teixeira deal. The Sox might just have to give up a top pitching prospect to solidify their future catching depth (http://www.fannation.com/truth_and_rumors/mlb?cnn=yes).

My guess is he started worrying when they drafted not one but two shortstops this year.
Jon Lester into the eighth, what can I say? Amazing.
A little scary after he left, but it all worked out.

Not sure how I feel about the other refugees yet, but we can always use another true Sox fan!
Everytime I heard an "update" on Yaz last night, I thought for sure it was gonna be the big D, just the way the announcers sounded.
And as for DiceK, he's always pitched better with men on base...
sometimes I think he does it on purpose. He likes the drama or something.
Buccholz, yeah...um...well, he's not in my fantasy league lineup,
but John Farrell must think he's got it in him, and just needs to click...

They really don't want to switch Masterson back over this year especially with the way he's mowing guys down. Althought I do believe (and apparently quite a number of guys in the dougout) that he should be starting in the future. Buch has got to do something tonight, he pitched well in relief in the blowout game sunday. In a perfect world where there rotation is intact, he's in Pawtucket.

So Cancer makes you have insanely slow pace and makes you afraid to attack the strike zone? He had the same issues before the cancer. It was called him being a young pitcher. I agree that Clay needs to bulk up a bit.

UNLESS-- As long as we can turn it on after this series, we let the yanks sweep us this time.
That would increase chances for our annual October meetings, which, lets face it, we all look forward to.
Even though we see eachother again at the very end of September, which is kinda like October...
I dunno. The most interesting game looks to be Wake vs. pettit. Especially if Wake has his stuff. Sox do well against pettit. But the reason itll be cool is because, these 2 pitchers have seen the rivalry over the years at yankee stadium. And it may be the last time they face eachother there.

If K-Rod gets the all time saves record and piles a good 5 or more saves on it I could see him get it.
After Pedroia's slam, they had a shot of the Red Sox dugout and Kotsay had a big smile on his face. He looked like a kid in a candy shop.

If K-Rod gets the all time saves record and piles a good 5 or more saves on it I could see him get it.
Cy Young yes.
I dont think he should win it over an everyday gold glove caliber player though.

Were any of those guys closers though ?
A DH has more impact on games day to day than a closer does and there still hasn't been a full time DH to win MVP. K-Rod is great, but if he wins MVP there is something wrong with the system.

Thanks Cougar.

That link is a pretty good argument against K Rod for MVP.
cougarjake13
08-27-2008, 07:22 PM
i can see the argument for k-rod as if he didnt convert those saves then the angels dont win but they lead the divison by fucking 16 games
kinda hard to give it to him under that scenario, if they were to win the divison by 1 or 2 games and everyone of those saves mattered then yes give it to him

Statistically, K-Rod is not having that great of a year, he's probably the 4th or 5th best closer #'s wise except for saves.

Beckett to see Andrews. (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/baseball/mlb/08/28/beckett.andrews.ap/index.html)
Not words you normally want to hear. He has been less of a butcher lately though..

Beckett checked out fine with Dr. Andrews. He will start next Friday vs Texas.

I wonder why he is being pushed back until next Friday. I think he was put on the 15 day disabled list retroactive to August 18, which means he is eligible to pitch Wednesday.

Another typical Wakefield day: give up a couple runs, get no support from the offense.

Maybe Tek has gotten too used to young guys who throw heat. Not a great outting but we got the win.

He would do well to listen to him. Maybe then he'd stop giving up the cheap early home runs as he is wont to do.

sox look good lately, i still cant believe the rays are really going to hold them off.
rays win the east and the yankees are out, crazy year. lets just hope the sox get healthy and dont miss out themselves.

Unless someone finds a way to beat the Angels, it doesn't much matter who makes it to the playoffs. I hope the Sox can continue their magic against them in the playoffs (if th
ey meet)

lol. Papi's number 2 pick confuses Casey. Look at the look on his face, as Casey says, "Anna Likes This?...alright..." Probably assumed it was Dominican porn.
But yeah, I think we all should go over to the yankee thread and thank their fans for tonight, and ask them and Pavano to keep it up tomorrow!
