    Rich people like to gamble? That's some breaking news. Imagine if Jordan played these days.

    do a search on that. those were some big time poker games with arm guards and shit. story a few weeks ago was that Tobey Maguire was being investigated for the game because some financial dude lost millions to tobey him and his investors are suing Maguire to get the money back. i think they guy may have even been running a ponzi scheme to raise the money. last i saw was the FBI was involved in looking into those games. it's more involved than just some dudes playing a home game.

    The only reason the FBI cares is because there is so much money involved. I don't see the big deal, obviously MLB does.

    the difference is that the yanks don't care about the luxury tax and the phils do. the phils have a budget (albeit a higher when than they've ever had), the yanks don't

    They blow through their budget every year. They'll just hike ticket prices another 10%, and they'll get over the luxury tax thing.

    If nova pitches well Thursday, do you think Hughes goes in the pen? They can't keep this 6 man rotation for long.


    Hughes would be in the rotation.

    Too bad I have missed this entire week. Jeter seems to be locked in the past few days.

    Offense seems to be clicking. Hopefully this team can get in a groove. Yankees will be picking up one of the best hitters in baseball in the next week or so.

    why can't they put AJ in the bullpen? Can't be because of the contract.

    i don't think him being put on waivers means anything. teams do that with their good players sometimes. plus he has a no-trade.

    1-3 spots in the line-up with 12 hits! Wow, awesome.
    I actually fee bad when I see a decent pitcher (Floyd) give up 10 runs in two innings...
    Then there's Burnett..wtf? 7 runs, 13 hits in four innings? awful.

    Floyd makes $4 million per year...I dont feel bad for him. He is so inconsistent.

    The Yanks sure caught the white sox at the right time....sox are completely falling apart right now.

    would be sweet to hold onto this game and get a 4 game sweep

    Boston is losing as of now so it could be a tie at the top of the east after tonight.

    I'd give Hughes one more start to see if his last one was a fluke before making any more rotation decisions, but honestly, with the way Nova is pitching lately, I'd send Burnett down. They're not going to do that, because he's more established and costs the team more money, but he's the weakest link right now.
  • neilybabes86neilybabes86 Posts: 16,057
    well another series for 1st place in boston ... how many times ?? what a rivalry


    nova needs to stay in the rotation...10-4 ...pretty impressive (granted the white sox blow atm)

    you're not allowed to judge a pitcher by his record...at least not in the phillies thread. somehow nobody gives you shit for that stuff in here :think: :roll: :lol:

    Hughes has been on his second spring training and has actually pitched better since coming back. 4 of his last 5 starts have been quality. He basically has been working up to his last start. I agree with doing something with Burnett.
