QUOTE(knightni @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 10:22 PM) YAY! MLB.tv is back! yep

MLB.tv seems to have died How did Anderson get out this time?

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 10:12 PM) Any trade value Anderson had is long gone... sad really... Have you ever heard of prospects before?

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 10:05 PM) I think the camera view took about a year off of all of our lives....except for Jabroni of course, since his Indians are winning big tonight.

Holy hell, what a DP.

DJ.. way to jinx it.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 07:02 PM) Now I wouldn't say that Jas. And I'm surprised Felix that you had Buerhle on that list. Why not Garland? He had a career year. Not saying Buehrle is undeserving as well, but I'm just stating don't count out what Garland did. As a matter of fact, I remember a poster here who compared Garland and Santanas' stats to Colons and that Colon really shouldn't had gotten it. Garland's Line W-18 L-10 ERA-3.50 G-32 GS-32 CG-3 SHO-3 IP-221.0 H-212 R-93 ER-86 HR-26 BB-47 SO-115 Colon's Line W-21 L-8 ERA-3.48 G-33 GS-33 CG-2 SHO-0 IP-222.2 H-215 R-93 ER-86 HR-26 BB-43 SO-157 Santana's Line W-16 L-7 ERA-2.87 G-33 GS-33 CG-3 SHO-2 IP-231.2 H-180 R-77 ER-74 HR-22 BB-45 SO-238 And to mind you, Garland did miss a start, who knows how he would had done but I can bet you his line would had been better than Colons if we would started another game plus the year he had last season. You can make a case for Garland or Santana, but all that aside, Santana DID get robbed IMO, and this is evident. Colon had more wins, a lower ERA, more games started (although its basically a wash), more IP (although its basically a wash), less walks, and more strikeouts than Garland. Buehrle had a lower ERA, more IP, less HR, less walks, nearly the same amount of K's than Colon. Thats why I included Buehrle and not Garland. Buehrle was the better starter.

- HI MY NAMES JI - JIM THOME

Jim Thome Great hit.

With Pods "back", this offense is really going to increase productivity.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 09:44 PM) If you're interested in losing. Its true

BMac

Nice to see BMac coming in

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 09:36 PM) Why would he be out? He's given up 5 hits (only 3 hit hard) and 0 walks in 6 IP. Who in their right mind would take a pitcher out with a pitch count of 75 in that situation? He looked pretty good in those other starts where he imploded after x innings. I admit that I haven't seen all of today's game (hell, I *still* don't know how the Sox scored), but I don't have any faith in Garland.

Crap, Garland is still in.

Lets hope Ozzie isn't stupid with Garland here. He's already in line for the win, lets just take him out now and put in BMac.

Pods is looking much better

Pods got another hit!

Can someone sum this game up for me? Just got back from work, thanks

QUOTE(Damen @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 02:49 PM) If East Coast bias played a factor, wouldn't Rivera have been a shoe-in? But you're right in that Cy Young voters overvalue wins, which hurt Buehrle and Santana playing on weak offensive teams. So I'll revise my statement to, if Contreras gets 20+ wins, and has the best stats, he'll win. Well, I wasn't saying that east coast bias would stop Count from winning, I was just saying that the player with the best stats doesn't always win the award.

Cy Youngs are determined by performance throughout the year, not in a few months. And Colon had a 4.91 ERA in September last year, and was crap in the postseason (before being hurt).

QUOTE(Damen @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 02:31 PM) If, at the end of the year, Contreras has the best stats of the Cy Young contenders, he'll win. Far from being true. Look at last year with Colon. There were at least 3 other pitchers who should have won it instead of him (Rivera, Buehrle, Santana).

This explains a lot.

Someone should get Mark to sign a slip 'n slide

Putting "Buehrle [...] signing today" in the title got me excited that he was signing a contract extension. Jerk
