But when he's pitching against the likes of the Sox as the Cell, he could get lit up, badly, which is of course what we're all hoping for. Don't forget, he had an ERA above 5 for Washington, in more of a pitchers park than the Dome, and in the NL to boot.
February 16, 200818 yr I can see Livan sucking it up against most teams, just not against the Sox. I just get this terrible gut feeling that I hope is unwarranted, but we've been KC's b**** for how long now...?
February 17, 200818 yr My take, here in Minneapolis, is that Livan is going to eat a lot of innings, and a lot of food.

'01: 14-5 vs KC '02: 11-8 vs KC '03: 11-8 vs KC '04: 13-6 vs KC '05: 13-5 vs KC '06: 11-8 vs KC '07: 12-6 vs KC 85-46 over the past 7 seasons that's a .649 win% If managing a .351 win% against a team over 7 year period is "making them your b****" then the Sox have been the league's designated b**** of the 21 century since I doubt they have a better win% against any other opponent over that timespan.

February 18, 200818 yr What I should have said is that we seem to have a lot more problems with KC than we ought to be having, winning record or not.

A .649 winning percentage would lead to a 162 game record of 106-56; that's winning every series. The Sox haven't had that many problems with KC. It will be different this year because KC is getting quite a bit better.
