    I dunno about Pettite man..he barely wanted to come back this yr and contemplated retirement... I'd rather he calls it a wrap and we spend our money on a top 5 pitcher. Moose too as good as he was this yr, can we expect a repeat performance nxt yr?
    Texeira sounds good and don't forget we also need a 3rd baseman...someone better than the scrub
    Aah, fuck it, I’m just gonna go home, turn on the fuckin’ TV...

    well more clutch, and better defensively

    I dunno Aubrey Huff looks good on my fantasy squad so does Mark Reynolds..not great average but has some power, Joe Crede? Try and trade for Chipper Jones? I think I'd rather have fatass Miguel Cabrera even over him!
    something, anythings gotta be better than this scrub

    You're going by one bad year in the clutch. Forget that he's a .300 hitter in these situations. You're going by perception. He's a better hitter than all those guys. Fielding is even except he's better than Cabrera. Crede is injured every year. And you're also forgetting not many players who come here don't exactly do what they did with their pevious teams. Alex has hit great with the Yankees. Even in his off years. Which is on for some of those players mentioned above.

    man I wish it was only just one yr of not hitting clutch..how bout 2 yrs ago with the whole SI debacle where they had to baby him cause he couldnt focus or whatever the fuck was wrong with him. And clutch hasnt been exactly the operative word for him in the playoffs either all these yrs with us. Like mentioned before we need a Brosius type of guy...hell even a Charlie Hayes type of guy! lol!

    hey I wasbittin why dont you like Crede? cause of the injuries?

    It wasn't as bad as everyone made it out to seem. He turned it on in the second half. And clutch hasn't been the word for the rest of the Yanks also. If Rivera gets that out in G4 in the 2004 ALCS. Everyone's perception about him is changed.

    Yes Red Sox lost today.

    true true....theres a few players that deserve blame, but obviously the scrubs are more magnified cause of his salary and his expectations. I mean he WAS brought here to win a world series ring or to at least make it easier and it hasnt worked out that way. Bad trades, errors, etc all taken into account...but still. Can't exactly say that A-rod's lived up to expectations. ANd def not a coincidence that each team he's left has improved drastically.

    Don't get me wrong, I like Crede. But his injuries do get annoying. He's got those recurring back problems that never seem to fully heal and they can just flare up at any time. He was a tremendous clutch hitter 2-3 years ago, but injuries kinda derailed him last year and this year he's so streaky. Well, I guess he's always been streaky, but we always put up with it cuz he's fielding is outstanding. His fielding has gone down a notch this year, although he made a run-saving catch in today's game. It's definitely give and take; when he's hot he can carry you, when he's cold it will drive you crazy. He'll always be a special player to White Sox fans as he was drafted by the team, came up through the organization and was integral to the championship team in 2005. I wouldn't want to give him up for nothing, but damn, we're talking about A-Rod. No comparison.

    I have to say I'm happy with the Sox performance this week. I was hoping for 3-3 with all their pitching woes. I'll definitely take 4-2 and it was nice to see a good debut by Bowden on Saturday.

    okl I hear you on all of that BUT lets put it this way

    when was the last time your home crowd booed Crede worse than your biggest rival whoever it may be..and on a conSISTENT basis like is happening lately wit Arod every at bat every error every bnon hustling play. I'll take Crede with the injuries and whatever heart he has over this guy in a heartbeat. Worse comes to worse we can platoon him with an up and coming prospect or some utility guy.
    Take his non clutch numbers and his supposed amazing stats and all that. Arod has no heart, no character and well, hes just a SCRUB!

    I bet you guys don't miss seeing this statline:


    IP H R ER BB K HR ERA
    Eric Gagne (L,4-3) 1.0 4 3 3 0 1 1 6.81

    He also blew the save, as he came into the 8th inning with a 2-1 lead. Does Milwaukke really think they can win anything with this guy pitching the 8th with a 1 run lead?
