Whoever has been the DH this year has been GARBAGE.

 

If the number 5.5 had an odor everyone at the cell would be getting a whiff of it

Well so far this is pretty mild for a gamethread. We either need a big inning or for something horrific to happen so we can start some drama!

he's so f'n worthless

 

He cannot hit pitchers with decent stuff. A lot of the damage he's done this year has been against mediocre pitching.

Manny Ramirez's asking price just went up.

 

Can we just say no thanks now?

Yep greg, he was the hero last night. Please quote one post that said as much.

 

Read the end of the thread where I was ripping him for using that ridiculously large bat and his K to walk ratio in his career. You'd have thought I was defending Wise or Kotsay.

Something I think we tend to overlook around here.

i would have much rather seen Lexi swinging on 2-0 instead of having the bases juiced. I'm sure ozzie felt the same way.

I would have much rather seen Beckham not be batting 9th...but we don't make the f***ing lineup.

Who the hell cares what kind of bat he uses? That's a hitter's preference. And nobody said he was a great hitter, you don't judge a hitter's ability based on BB/K ratio, that's not the end all be all whatsoever.

I'd rather see Teahen stroke a f***ing hit. We win the game if he lines a shot to the corner.

years from now people are going to look back at this season and wonder what the hell Kenny was thinking when he essentially went with the equivalent of a Royals DH platoon and felt he could win with it

and now he's getting squeezed.

This.

Is Sale ready to pitch against the Yankees in this situation? I guess we'll find out.

 

Teahen, Kotsay...doesn't really matter, they're just average and below-average MLB players, I don't expect that much out of them. There were never reasons to believe either player should be starting on a VERY GOOD team.

And people will link a clip to The Club in which Ozzie confirmed to KW that he thought his plan would work. Both deserve a lot of blame...and I'm sorry, but FINALLY acquiring Manny when the team is possible 5 or 6 games out of first place is just a bunch of crap by KW. Talk about being late to the punch. The time to acquire a hitter was at the trade deadline when this team still had momentum.

the hobbit is 3 for 3

And this, too.

Very nice effort by Gavin today, even if this is a subpar Yankees lineup compared to their usual bombers.

Teahen will be the Sox starting third baseman next year which will not be good.

I'd rather convince Omar to stay another year at the age of 50.

This.

 

Or it will become known as the straw that broke the camel's back between Ozzie and KW...with one of them out of the picture.

I'm fine with Omar returning next season, but by no means should it be as a starting player. You've seen some of the issues with making him your starting 3b when you have to play Lillibridge at 3b against C.C.

AND HERE....WE.......GO.

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?

Having a lame-duck Manny Ramirez on a team ostensibly out of the playoff picture would be a recipe for disaster.

 

Farmer's really really getting on the umpires, and he's usually fairer than Harrelson.

k.
