    really man?

    sadly, he's fine.

    if you look at the numbers behind the numbers, he's making just as much contact and judging the strike zone just as well as he usually does, he's just not getting the balls to fall in ... he may have lost a touch of power, but overall, just a small stretch (125 ABs) where he's been unlucky.

    if you're in a roto league, this would be a great time to play up the injury and try and acquire him.

    Sadly, I was right ... he's fine.

    In the past 30 days, he's hit .286 with 8 home runs, 19 RBI, OPS near 1.000 ... and even stole 4 bases.

    I put my money where my mouth is and traded for him in one of my my roto leagues, and as a Red Sox fan I feel dirty ... so very, very dirty.

    Hated the loss last night BUT Loved seeing Andy throw water coolers in the dugout. Need that attitude.
    Why take Hughes out?

    Tough call on Hughes...but his fastball was elevating a bit. I thought Coke would make the play.
    Even in defeat lately, I like what I see from this team

    we need to get a starter from somewhere today. Seattle are crazy that they would want Hughes or Joba for Washburn. I like Jared, but come on


    Ill take Roy though :)

    They took Hughes out because of his pitch count, 35-40 seems to be the maximum for him. They took him out at 39 pitches the other day against the A's.

    I could see Hairston taking Ransom's spot with Ransom going back to the minors. Of course we're only four-five weeks away from rosters expanding.

    Nice move to get Hairston. He can play just about anywhere for them and he can pinch run. This will let some guys get the occasional day off.

    I really thought they would get an arm.........either a 5th starter or a bullpen guy, but I'm happy they didn't give away any top kids like the old Yanks would have. I guess they can still make a move for a pitcher. They would just have to pass through waivers for a deal to happen.

    I hope so. Ransom blows. And , well aware I'm in the minority here, I like Shelley Duncan. He's never gonna be an All Star, but he's much better coming off the bench than anyone else they've had this year

    They sucked, but so did the managing. No offense to John Danks, but Girardi managed too far with the book by keeping Damon and Matsui on the bench and putting right-handed hitters Cody Ransom and Jerry Hairston in the lineup. I get resting one, but not two, especially when this was a game you would have liked to win with Buehrle and Halladay pitching against them the next two games. But 20 games over .500 in August, I'll take.

    Nice work by the Sox, they have a nice four-man rotation going once they get Peavy in the fold.

    Frank Wren looks really good letting Smoltz walk during the offseason. It was very unpopular here in Atlanta, but it was the right move.

    I'm very happy the did it because he looked really good getting beat around in a Red Sox uniform. :lol:

    God we need Burnett to pitch a gem tomorrow.

    also i hate the new stadium. I hate that they play in a launching pad.

    David Ortiz holding a press conference at Yankee Stadium, to address his failed steroids test. Hitting .221 with 15 HR's. I wonder if that's what the construction worker had in mind when he buried an Ortiz jersey? Don't fuck with jinxes

    Great weekend to be a yankee fan!

    I know the sox are a better team then what we saw this weekend, but that won't stop me from loving the yankees storming their little nation and making them out bitch :lol:

    Hope we can keep the momentum up. Still a lot of the season left to go.
