I said on the first page I liked the Sox because Porcello wasn't half bad last time--6 days ago--against the Rays. He was excellent tonight, and Reed came in to finish the 8th and Kimbrel to close. And three runs was not only enough but 2 runs more than 6 days ago against Cobb and the Rays bullpen. I say again, this team has grit.
Yankees are now 8-2 in their last 10 games. But so are the Sox.
I don't think so either but we are told the playoffs are a crap shoot and anything can happen.Originally Posted by Station 13

"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."
Yeah what he really needs to do is hit more balls with his bat and not his arms.
He has been bad but I cut the kid some slack unlike that goldbricker Hanley of the Biceps.

I only caught a few words about that.
What gives?

I give him credit for finding the base.
Thankfully did not need to throw.

There is some hotel near the Tampa ballpark that is known for ghost sightings and Salty says that he has had 2 sightings at that hotel.

No he was every bit John Holmes tonight.

Porcello was sick tonight. Another win boys.
Nice win tonight! Porcello spun a great game. His pitches were sharp and tight!
Cobb really lost it after the balk call. Then the steal, then the bad ump call. Cobb had a melt down on the mound.....
Will NY just roll over and die already........
In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
So we sailed up to the sun
'Til we found a sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine
To bad he could not see curve balls as well as he sees ghosts.

LOL!! He also couldn't see balls in the dirt when he was catching. I remember one game where the ball was under him and he was spinning like a top looking for it as the runners were running around the bases. LOL!!! I thought I was having a nightmare.
The King of TalkSox has Spoken.
Lol. In fairness to him that happens to all catchers sometimes.
But I know what you are saying.
Still, I always liked the kid.

It's not often I say this, but I really empathize with the Rays over that call. I mean, that was pretty bad even by modern umpire standards. If I were the Rays fan, I would be pretty upset.
- From the 2004 ALCS Game 4 Gamethread. A reminder that no game is over until the final out is recorded, and things will always get better. Misspellings unchanged as a reminder that Yankees fans are just terrible.
Are you talking about the strike called a ball? If so...... I'm going to have to call......shit happens.......... and the catcher may have blocked the ump as he stood up quickly...
