Hey Balta, was Jackson good enough tonight for ya?

We didn't even give up a run in the 9th!

Jackson is a stud, and we got the Rangers coming in hot in the 9th.

That 0.96 ERA in the AL isn't good enough. Man we have found a diamond in the rough!

 

Nice hitting tonight as well.

 

Time to beat the s*** out of the Yankees.

I think Ozzie should make him wear a magic cape from now on.

EJIAA!

 

This board is eating a full plate of crow! Ejax looked awesome tonight!

Jackson was on f***ing fire.

Looks like Rios is coming out of his slump as well...

How does Cooper do it?

I wonder why no other team has tried to steal him away with money, money, money?

He is a mastermind apparently.

Jackson sure looks like a future ace if he stays healthy and Coop keeps working with him.

I thought the trade was ridiculous, but Jackson looked like the best pitcher in baseball tonight. He overpowered them. That would have been great had Minnie lost.

The way Jackson pitched ... he'd have blown the Royals away last week. Sad that West f***ed the Sox and Jackson. Him not pitching in that series may cost us the pennant.

I gotta say it --- I told ya so

Let's hope we do more of this against New York.

Edwin has been simply dominant in four starts. He's going to have to do it against better lineups from here on out. But I've got nothing but praise for him so far. The offense has been pretty damn potent of late.

Let's hope we do more of this against New York.

Problem is we got sweaty Freddie going in game 1 and that makes me nervous, hopefully he can pitch like he did against the Royals- we really need him here with the lack of a pen right now

Ill repeat, I like Jackson, I think Coop was the perfect asnwer for him.

 

I just dont like the price we paid for him considering our farm system and finanicial situation.

Why was the game thread so short? I know people weren't at the game looking at the crowd

 

Anyway great team win, Jax = STUD.

Jackson's stuff was nasty. He made a lot of hitters look foolish. The way he started, I expected him to have 15 K's, but 10 is certainly good outing.

you don't remember 2005 when the Yankees were interested in him?

Um...

 

Yeah...

 

I think I can live with that.

Soxnet.net wrapup.

Freddie has done a good a job as any starter we have so IMO it's time to quit being nervous

By what measure? The guy has a 5.08 ERA, and of his 23 starts, only 15 are "quality". He's also had 6 starts where he couldn't finish more than 5 innings. He's fine as a #5 starter, but the other 4 guys we have right now have all clearly been better.

and the leaked documents to Deadspin kind of show how judging that based on simple factors known to the public may not be the best method.

He has ten wins and has often gone 6 or 7 good innings for us. The ERA jumps when he or any pitcher has a bad game or two and gives up a lot of runs in just a couple innings. That has not happened to Freddie on any consistent basis so overall he has done a commendable job.
