Yanks lost by alot to the O's.....11-4 I think. Worst possible news is they may have broke Jeter's hand or thumb today when another scumbag pitcher threw at him.

I'm happy though 'cause in other news the fraudulent Detroit Tigers lost 2 out of 3 to the Red Sox......Gee it's funny what playing good teams does to your record!  I'd ask Penne what he thinks but he is pretty upset right now.

Poor Yankees couldn't sweep the Tigers. Anyone whose been following the Tigers and isn't smoking whatever some local media types are know that the Tigers just don't have a strong enough line-up to compete with the big boys this year. Why get my hopes up when this is only the sixth year of a rebuilding process that will take about eight before the team is really a threat. Of course, by then, the Yankees will be too old to pose much of a threat to the league, and it will be the Tigers, the White Sox, and the Red Sox who will be duking it out for the AL. I have a the patience to hold onto my wad, PJP. You just go on shooting yours over anyone is willing to suck it up.

Oh and Penne.....I would think that most people would say the Yankees youngsters are better than any shit you got crybaby. I'm happy with Robbie Cano, Melky Cabrera, Terrence Long, Andy Philips, Bubba Crosby, Kevin Thompson.......and we still have Eric Duncan waiting to come up!

this is just how the series used to be.
yanks win game one by 20 runs. boston wins game two by 12. third game is nail-biting close.

Yanks won 13-5! 3 more games to go....they will probably split the series. Both teams are good with good players.....unlike the shitty Tigers of Detroit.

Sorry, I watched game one of the Stanley Cup Finals. I was a baseball fan first, but Hockey is the cooler sport.
Fun Fact: Had Todd Jones not blown two games during the Tigers' seven game series against the only teams PJP cares about, the Tigers would have come out of it 4-3, with a split agianst the Yankess and a win against the BoSox.
It can't be said enough. In baseball, you are either humbled, or about to be humbled. Depending on how arrogant you are, the fall is all the more greater. Like that time the Yankees had a 3-0 series lead over the BoSox in the ALCS, but then became the only team in the history of Baseball to to lose the bottom four games of a seven game series. There is nothing more humbling than that. At least in Hockey, while the Red Wings were frist, in 1942 to the Maple Leafs, they weren't the last. But in baseball, the Yankees are all alone.

Pauley is pitching real good for the Sox tonight....pitcher's duel so far 1-1 on homers by Bernie and Ortiz.
The Tigers and their fans are worthless scumbags.

Unless Pauley gets traded for an established starter. Or bullpen depth. Fucking Seanez. I'd like to snap off his nose and shove it up his stupid twat. Piece of shit.
Papelbon's a machine. Did you catch him strike out Pudge for his 20th save? Perfection.

Lowered his ERA to 6.55, cool!
Boston promoted him directly from Double-A, which was a mistake, and now they've promoted Craig Hansen(who's minor league numbers are deceptively mediocre). Lester probably isn't far away. I know the pitching staff has had injury issues, but Boston isn't going to help themselves down the line by throwing a bunch of guys who aren't ready yet into the fire.
Also, Papelbon is being wasted in the pen. Not to use an Oakleyistic exaggeration here, but if he's not a starter by the end of next year, criminal charges should be filed.

Why? Pauley had 1 bad game against the Jays and 1 excellent game.....I didn't say he was the next Schilling I just said he looked good. He rebounded well after a shellacking....
and as for Papelbon?????? Why would you mess with a good thing? The Yankees would have won 3 more World Series' probably in '01 '03 and '04 when Mariano blew 2 saves against the Sox......if Mariano was as dominant as he was in the 90's. A good closer is hard to find....a dominant one is damn near impossible. Let's see how he does in a playoff situation but so far this guy looks to be one of the best closers in the game.

dominance is not invincibility. there are no mario stars in baseball... outside of super mario baseball.
mariano had one of his greatest seasons ever, just last year. but even at his peak, he'll drop a game or two.
the '04 bosox series had a lot riding on it. aside from being the frickin amazing '04 bosox team, and the standard playoff pressure, the sox have the "advantage" of facing mariano up to 25 times a year now. thats quite a good opportunity to figure out what works. all that in addition to fenway fans "whose your poolboy" chants, immediately following his nephew's death. can't be pleasant.

He held his own against the Yankees("excellent" might be going a bit far), I don't deny that. However, to promote a decent at best prospect with marginal stuff from Double-A when you're in a pennant race seems unwise to me.

Rivera was not the only reason the Yankees lost those years(just as he was not the only reason the Yankees won previously), and as Rob pointed out, Rivera's best season was just last year. Infact, his last three years('03-'05) were even better than his first three as the full-time Yankee closer('97-'99), with the middle three years only being moderately spectacular.
Quote:

No, not really. It's not easy, but it's not particularly hard, either. Derrick Turnbow, Danys Baez, Dustin Hermanson, Todd Jones, Brian Fuentes, etc etc. Teams stumble upon guys like this that hold down closers jobs all the time, and there are plenty of guys that probably could do the job, but don't get the chance(Scott Shields, Fernando Rodney, Bob Howry, Juan Rincon, just to name a few off the top of my head).
Quote:
a dominant one is damn near impossible.
The shelf-life of the average closer isn't that long, so I would say it's difficult to find a closer who can remain at the top of his game for an extended period. However, it's much more diffcult to find an ace than an elite closer, and there's no question that a #1 or #2 pitcher is more valuable than a top of the line closer. Actually, and this is something that I doubt those who pray at the alter of Rivera will understand or appreciate, but over the course of a season, even an average, middle of the rotation starter is more valuable than a top of the line closer, simply because he pitches two, three or four(depending on the team) times as many innings.
In any event, my point is: Papelbon has the talent and ability to be an elite starter, and not at least trying him out in that role first(like the Yankees did with Rivera) seems pretty stupid.

However, it's much more diffcult to find an ace than an elite closer, and there's no question that a #1 or #2 pitcher is more valuable than a top of the line closer. Actually, and this is something that I doubt those who pray at the alter of Rivera will understand or appreciate, but over the course of a season, even an average, middle of the rotation starter is more valuable than a top of the line closer, simply because he pitches two, three or four(depending on the team) times as many innings.
In any event, my point is: Papelbon has the talent and ability to be an elite starter, and not at least trying him out in that role first(like the Yankees did with Rivera) seems pretty stupid.
Well it's hard to argue with that. I bow to your superior baseball wisdom. I din't think they will take him out of the closer role though......the front office and Francona have said as much.....we will see.
