April 23, 200718 yr QUOTE(caulfield12 @ Apr 22, 2007 -> 08:49 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Byrd beat Contreras, the best pitcher in baseball, in the 2005 playoffs. Kennedy looked like a stud when he was coming up in TB, b4 getting lost in Colorado. Tejeda at least has good stuff. Carlos Silva has had stretches in the last five years that he was VERY good, but not as much recently. Gaudin is a classic 5th starter, but he's not horrible either. Will people please STFU about Byrd against the Sox in Game 1 of the ALCS? During the regular season of 2005 he was rocked by the Sox, and in the game 5 clincher he only went 4.2 innings. It should aslo be mention how the Sox were currently on an 8 game winning streak (4 of these streaks, never hit 9 in 2005,) had 3 off days, and Angels were high on adrenaline or cocaine.

You should mention Rowand's leadoff-triple-turned-out-at-home which which is the difference between Byrd's "win" and a no decision into extras.
April 23, 200718 yr Yeah, that sucks. I think I remember his stats the last year PK had a major, long-lasting slump... 40 HR, 100 RBI... yeah, that sucks. Don't worry, Paulie will be fine. Edited April 23, 200718 yr by TheBigHurt
