Some big double plays these last few innings.

Nice job by BMac there. Let's get out of this inning here.

Because I'm saying that pointing to pitching wins is a weak argument? Don't think so.

 

Because you keep insulting people.

Garland has been crap this year except for one month. Have you been following the Sox this season. That has been pretty obvious.

 

Anyone who argues about how good a pitcher is by arguing his pitching wins really shouldn't waste their time making an argument at all.

 

And its been the last month, month and a half. Can't you just admit hes gotten better...saying "Only one month" is a bit misleading considering its been the last month+ you are talking about. Ever since he started getting his slider over, he has been a completely different pitcher.

 

I can understand slinging mud at Garland when he deserves it, but right now is not the time.

I am not intelligent enough to discuss matters with you. Therefore stop wasting your oh so precious time.

Brian needs to be in CF now.

Are the Blue Jays running down the line? The Sox seem a little slow turning the last 2 DPs, and the plays at first haven't been close. I think they have some problems in Toronto. I have the feeling they will have a new manager in 2007.

Pointing out the weakness of a particular argument isn't "insulting people".

Done.

Shows you...

Since June 13, Jon has given up more than 2 ER in a start exactly three times. He won one and lost one of those. The third is tonight.

Brian needs to be in CF now.

They will probably let Pods hit once more and then move Mack to LF.

Here's the way I view Garland. He sucked to start the year, and every bad pitch he made was getting hammered (his D didn't do him any favors). Now, he's trusting his sinker more, and he's been our most consistent pitcher the last two months. Buehrle is now in the same funk that Garland was in. However, people generally like Buehrle more than Garland, so they give him a bigger benefit of the doubt.

I'm pointing out how good he's been over the course of the entire season. Am I supposed to bow and scrape and pretend that Garland is an ace because he's on a hot steak? Instead, I choose to call 'em as I see 'em.

Done.

 

Telling people they shouldn't even hold an argument because they're not intelligent is insulting people.

I think we just saw one of the reasons the Blue Jays almost traded Rios last year.

I think its because of Buerhle's much better track record.

I was thinking that also. However, I really think a lot of people personally don't like Garland, and it makes them jump on him more (and yes, I know myself and others do this with other players also).

Jon Garland is a young proven ML pitcher who if he was not signed would get a $50M+ contract following this season but with all due respect the genius of Sox fans want to run him out of town after every bad outing. At the end of the day he is better than Mark Buerhle but you would think Buerhle walks on water.

 

Oh and Buerhle is my favorite player...

Here's to Mr. Pratt.

LOL....Mack's lunch

He does have that demeanor that makes it look like he doesn't care.

This ump hates Rob more than Soxtalk.

what the......

Mack musta said something bad to someone.
