Something clicked!!!!

 

We all read about Brandon learning a lot from his short time up with the big-league club and taking it with him to Charlotte.

 

It clicked. He's looked awesome.

Blalock has impressed the hell out of me on defense.

Pavano had one good season preceded by several of mediocrity. Dont you think the Yankee scouts could have figured it out? No. GS just has a lot of money to throw around so if one guys doesnt work out, it doesnt really matter. If Jon the coward were available at the end of this season, hed be getting huge offers.

There were a lot of people on this board hoping JR would open the checkbook and sign Pavano. I desperately wanted the Sox to get Randy Johnson and there were a lot who felt the same, some signings are a stretch, some are just bad luck. If Steinbrenner wants to throw his money at everyone, more power to him.

Blalock

 

That guy is a bad ass.

Ok Garland sucked today but so did Buehrle yesterday, lets analyze Garland once the seasons over to be fair, he did a good job vs a hot bmore team.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Buehrle has proven himself year after year as a solid starter. JG has always been mediocre and even this year he struggles against the good ones. Hes got talent, he simply lacks balls. He is scared of the hitters. The great ones are never scared. Instead they scare the hitters.

I am not seeing the game, but can anyone explain why McCarthy has been this dominant tonight? Is he finally using his changeup?

I wanted Wright...

I am sure someone can dig up some stats on Garland vs teams above .500 and prove you wrong.

I wanted Wright...

 

And the reports were so did KW before the Yankees came in late and swooped him up.

Garland's clearly pitched better this season than Buehrle against the top teams.

I must be watching a different game, because he's throwing that change-up a ton. He's kept the Rangers hitters off-balanced all night.

i thoguht that last back doored him, tough call

Garland, unlike Buehrle, has actually done very well against the better teams. He has wins against Boston, Oakland (2), San Diego, Minnesota, and Cleveland (2).

He is scared of the hitters.

Could have fooled me vs. Miguel Tejada, he went right at him. It was an epic duel.

 

He is 25 going on 26 and still needs to learn more about how to adjust to hitters. This year has been a big step forward for him.

ive been in and out of the game, what has impressed me most has been the location on the express

Well, BMac has been impressive enough that I think we should go to six starters the rest of the way. Seriously.

Can we trade Young, Sweeney, and Gio for Teixeira? I absolutely love his overall game.

haha ive got my foot in my mouth big time, as first pitch change to blalock.....my bad

that kid is legit no doubt, if i could have one guy from teh rangers it would certainly be teixeira

Teixeira is starting to be one of my favorite players, I wish I had his rookie card.

No, thats like cheating. Whats the fun in rooting for a team thats just going to buy whatever it needs? I like rooting for the Sox. Homegrown players, some trades and a few FAs. Jeter, Williams and Rivera are the only Yankees to be with the Yanks before stardom. For the Sox, ARow, PK, Crede, Thomas, Buehrle, Garland, Jenks, McCarthy, Marte and Cotts all came to prominence with us. Some of them were with other organizations, but they never did anything before coming here. We had to take risks on them. The Yanks never do that.

Uh. no.

I think what's impressed me most is his presence. He doesn't look like a skinny kid who's one pitch away from giving up a 450 foot homer today. Instead, he's been in and out, and up and down, with his pitches, and he's been able to get away with some high change-ups by throwing them in the right counts.
