    This is on JF...he knew the conditions. Knuckleballer can't pitch in this type of weather. He needs to pitch in San Diego.

    So how many games before we can call this team out for their pathetic baseball? One day it's the offense and the next day it's the pitching. I will say when they get to 45 games at least.

    I don't know how air saturated with water molecules has less resistance.

    "It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

    Going back to last August he's awful.

    Yeah, likely. Because JF seems to me a traditionalist. And this theory of the k-ball's ineffectiveness (and it is only a theory) involves science, that is to say, basic meteorology. I'm pretty sure JF, like all baseball commentators I have ever heard, would talk vaguely about the "heavier" air during wet days, which in turn prevents the ball from traveling and would slow down the kball. (This of course is completely untrue--air in high pressure areas is heavier. But --has anyone ever checked it?--it may be true that hitters, for other reasons, don't hit the ball as far in damp weather.)

    Sox have 5 hits. Wright gave up 9. How is that only Pablo and Hanley's fault?

    Season is a nightmare, no matter the w/l. End the Steven Wright experiment, plz.
    Priorities:
    1. Yankees lose
    2. Red Sox win

    Ben was a goddamn moron. He set us back years with his idiotic signings.
