Now that Pettitte is 3rd in wins as a Yankee, do you think he will be in Monument Park? It still seems like a reach but what do you think? How about Posada?

joba:

we have all been talking about joba for months, innings limit, joba rules, etc.

apart from the fact that for a young arm, pitching X number of innings more in one season than pitched in the previous season has XX% more chance of producing a long term injury, the other side of this coin is that if a pitcher surpasses by many his innings total of the previous season, his arm is just simply not up to the effort. all this to say that Joba’s arm may actually be tired and not up to strength.

just a possibility.

“How can the Sux release Penny!!!!
Yellow Teeth Gammons and NESN said that Penny, Smoltz, and Baldelli were the acquisitions of the off-season because of how great they were and that the Red Sox had a better off-season because they signed such quality guys a low prices!!!!”

Brian, i will try to help you out here. while i may agree with your premise, you demean your own arguments by 1) calling the red sox “the sux”, 2) attempting to insult peter gammons based on a facial feature he may or may not possess and 3) using 4 exclamation marks at the end of your posting.

sounds like someone ranting. never a good method of making your point on the internet. good luck in future.

If Andy were pereceived to have been a power type guy, 250 would be far more likely to earn him HOF. Even when a young man I don’t ever remember thinking of him as a power guy as opposed to a guy who uses everything he has. No 96 mph heat to rely on. Power guys are just more memorable i think.

Penny, Smoltz, and Baldelli have done nothing for the rs this year

wake will help but unless becket gets better & buchol can be decent it will be tough.

at the very minimum becket & lester need to be lights out

their pen is not s stable,inconsistent offense & if big poppi didnt re emerge they would be long gone

Just because Jorge can play doesn’t mean he’s going to be the same guy ……

But Posada said a week off would not make a difference. When he said he needed rest for the finger to heal, he meant that he needed extended rest for the swelling to subside and for the finger to be pain free.

“I don’t think it’s going to heal until the season is over,” Posada said. “The joint is bruised. There’s not much I can do.”
