September 10, 200520 yr I think he is. In fact before tonights game he wasn't having a terrible 2nd half.

Very inconsistant. I hope the real Mark Buehrle shows up soon.

Sheesh Enjoy the damn season and stop complaining There's a difference between being in a bad time and losing against every team. Buehrle's bad times seem to happen when he faces the better ballclubs. I think there is a direct correlation. It's not a bad time for Buehrle, he's simply getting beat by and good club he faces. He feasts on the Royals and Tigers of the MLB, but I wouldn't feel to confident in him facing guys like Vlad in the playoffs.

So people who says he can't beat good teams. Au Contrear my friend.
September 10, 200520 yr Author In fact Colon has an 8.44 ERA against the Yankees a 5.54 ERA against Boston So Mark's splits against contenders are actually better than Colon's.

You don't have to shoot down every poll. Obviously people are voting. So their is interest . If you don't like it, Don't vote. BTW I voted ace. He was good enough to start the all star game . He is having a tough spell right now , at the end of the year he will have an overall, good year. Don't forget he is still very young in age. He is one of the top 5 contenders for CY (even though he has no chance) . That is ace material imo. I talked to a few people at the sox tailgate in june, I think I remember all of us agreeing he is a strong # 2 but not an ace. I have to change my stance on that.

Excuse me Soxtalk Police officer may i see your badge?. Again if you don't like my post use the lil scroll bar. And as yousaid this is a Message board so i have my opinion.

And as yousaid this is a Message board so i have my opinion. Or is it that obnly a few opinions count? My opinion is you whine too much And on the Polls, I can forsee the Next one and heck i even forsee who's gonna create it. Next poll.. Garlands Season.. Fluke or Real thing YES OR NO Polls open the floods for a good debate. If the poll is an obvious question, everyone will agree with each other and the poll will die. If the poll is close to a split vote , most people will back up their vote with why they voted for the specific selection . Scroll up and you will see why I voted the way I did. I don't neccesarily care for birthday threads or posts of the month threads but, I don't go in those threads complaining of their existance. I move on.

September 10, 200520 yr Nope. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Fluke simply because I don't think he'll repeat it next year. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> nope <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You are all wrong
September 10, 200520 yr No. I would rather have Garcia start game 1 than this guy. He is terrible down the stretch every year.
September 10, 200520 yr I haven't read this whole thread. But if an ace is somebody who can shut down the piss poor line-ups while getting rocked by any above average line-up, then yes, Buehrle is one heck of an ace.
September 10, 200520 yr Author well im glad that Jon Garland pitched a gem today against a great team. anybody who says that Garland is better than Buehrle is a moron.
