Is anyone else way too excited about these games? I know it's not THAT important of a series, but I'm playoffs level nervous.
I've been nervous all day...I'm glad that these games mean something, two months ago no one could have thought that.

Wow, No, what a sound rebuttal.
Montero's line after 4 seasons: .309/.368/.486/.855
Flower's line after 5 seasons: .281/.392/.490/.882
Flowers also has ~20 more HR/ ~60 more RBIs. Flower's(.63) BB/K ratio is better than Montero's(.53). The only thing Montero has on Flowers is the bloated over-evaluation of AL-East minor league systems. But back to the comparisons.
2B David Adams 3 seasons: .281/.370/.439/.809
CJ Retherford 4 seasons: .283/.336/.464/.800
CJ has 3 times as many HR and twice as many RBIs than Adams.
RHP Zach McAllister: 37-27 3.14 ERA 1.204 WHIP
Carlos Torres: 35-32 3.49 ERA 1.317 WHIP
McAllister is better than Torres here. But keep in mind Torres has pitched fairly decent when he was called up to the Majors.
Very similar trade packages; only thing is NYY prospects are ridiculously overvalued.
No.
Woah...so I was watching the Sox. What happened? Wade and Bosh DON'T want to play with LeBron? If that is the case, give me LeBron and Boozer...always have to go with the best player of the group.

What kind of contract does he have left? I always liked the guy, but when he when to the Pirates, the wheels fell off.
Also, wasn't he a 3B before Longoria came aboard?

If this turns out to be true than that would quash some of my fears over a major arm injury, even if it's something nagging that might require a skipped start or two, I doubt they would run him out if they actually thought it was TJ or a labrum
Then again that was coming from Cowley so who knows.

I didn't get to post in the game thread yesterday, but what a great performance by Floyd last night. I'm hoping this is a sign that he's turning it around. Plus, good call by Ozzie to pinch hit with Pierre. When I saw him up, I was concerned (lefty on lefty), but I saw Pierre's history against Lilly and felt better. It's too bad that Konerko and Carlos "Pop-up" Quentin couldn't get the job done.
Don't forget Alexei. You can't give him a pass.
