Matt Garza pitches well, 6 Innings, 1 ER, 83.74 Spits Per 9, 5 Strikeouts, 3 walks Jay Pee and Edwin Jackson provide solid relief. . Jon Lester....definitely, 5.2 Innings, 8 hits, 4 ER. Paul Byrd was Paul Byrd and was treated as such.

B.J. Upton + Evan Longoria = Rest of AL East Crying
Pena + Rocco = Smiles
Crawford = Varitek Headache

How sweet it is...
I love seeing the “Fenway Faithful” booing and making an early run to the exits.
Advantage: Rays.
I haven't heard
Fenway that quiet in a long time (probably ever :D)
In reference to how good the Steelers have been in their history: "No one is even close to them."- Steal Home

I really loved
Listening to the announcers refer to the fans leaving early as “Fenway Faithful.” Not sure whether they were intentionally twisting the knife, but it sure felt good to me.
I loved the looks on the faces of the fenway faithful as they passed my window
Cowebell in one hand, FEEL THE HEAT blasting out of my speakers, I was yelling my thanks to John Lester
and yet my cell # still begins with 813...

when you think .500 is the best a team can do and they are currently playing in the ALCS for a chance to advance to the WS, you have to stop and think that the future of that team is going to be amazing. GO TB RAYS!
he isnt even healthy right now and still is better than everyone else right now

I am sure they are tried a few times
I wonder how much they are willing to pay. 24 year old stud who is at his best in the playoffs…..doesn’t come around everyday.
My first question would be 'how much have they offered already?'
Then I ask ‘how much more will it take?’
I know BJ wants to get paid, but I’d hope that he’d consider taking merely enough to be filthy rich and not try to hold out for enough to be filthy stinkin God-Damn rich. The Rays won’t pay him that kind of money.
fortunate for us now but not in the future
this is what landed Carlos Beltran in NY. Beltran went nuts in the playoff’s and than got paid out the ass.
ya but he was going to be a FA after that
bj has like 4 or 5 years left with the rays

Rolen was able to return to form for the first half of 2006

I’m not saying he can’t stay healthy, but they are often a reoccurring injury.

Richie Sexson came off a torn labrum to run a .263/.369/.541, 39 HR as a right-handed hitter in Safeco year.
He dropped to .264/.338/.504 the next year, but that’s because he sucked, not because of the labrum injury recurring. BJ’s tougher than Sexson, he can come back from it.

I can not rec this any more
Hopefully the increased revenues from this and next year will be enough for us to extend a realistic offer to BJ. I think he enjoys playing for this team/Maddon, but with the way the fans have treated him, I’m not fully confident that he’ll opt to stay. Here’s to hoping the FO makes him a rich man this offseason.
Where does BJ want to play?
Does he want to stay in CF or does he have visions of ever moving back to the MIF?
by Hardcore Legend on Oct 13, 2008 10:42 PM EDT up reply actions
He wants to play in the middle of the field
But I think he knows deep down that he’s an exceptional CF now.
Does he really?
I hadn’t heard him say that at any point this season, but I have to suspect that he is aware that he is a far above average CF and a decidedly average IF. Not to mention, his arm would be completely wasted if he weren’t playing the outfield.
He said it last year when they moved him to CF after coming off the DL
And I don’t think he’d be an adequate IF at all. As a matter of fact, I think he’d be terrible. He flat out did not improve in his ability to play the infield once he got above A-ball. The mere fact that he refused to change positions cost him almost 2 years in the majors.
There is more money in being a IF'er
ask Soriano. He wanted to stay at 2B for that very reason. A 2B with 50 HR potential is worth more than an OF’er with 50 HR potential, in the minds of GMs. Defense be damned.

Yeah,
it’s pretty obvious which side he wants to win. Anything the Rays hit, he is excited about the routine play the Red Sox just made. When the Saux hit it, it is the greatest single offensive feat in the history of the game.
It happened in the Angels series too.

"crediting LaMar while not mentioning Friedman"
Serious? I must have missed it, thank god. Inexcusable.
It was awful. Friedman and Silverman were in the stands, all Rays garb, cheering after the Pena HR, not one mention.
Earlier in the game Caray said: “It’s a shame the men and women who help build teams can’t be around to see their fruits of labor. Chuck LaMar blah blah blah.”

Everyone has been swinging from Friedman's nuts, and rightfully so...but, Lamar deserves a lot of credit for this team (assuming he had any say in who was drafted)
by walkoffwalk on Oct 13, 2008 10:49 PM EDT up reply actions
I keep saying this
This is not a compliment. Yes, Lamar deserves credit for a lot of the talented youth on this team. But he deserves credit because he could do absolutely nothing with what he had, and his team got decimated year after year after year as a result.
It’s not like the Rays have 10 years of 1st rounders on their roster. The only thing Lamar did for this current incarnation of the Rays is stockpile the farm system by losing tons of games.
I'm not saying Kaz is awful
But in terms of what he’s contributed to this team and it’s success, it’s been limited. Except for May and early June, He’s been hurt and he’s struggled. I’m sure he’s injured, and I’m sure he’ll be back next year, or the year after if it’s a long-recovery injury, as the same old Kaz.
but those 6 starts he reeled off were incredible... we know what he is capable of
BOSSMAN and Kaz are my fave Rays players… and neither has been 100%, and yet we have seen flashes of what they are capable of… Kaz in May and BOSSMAN now.
I don't think he can gut his way through his problems anymore this season
Upton is saying he feels better, and it sure looks that way. Kaz looks like he’s getting worse, not better. I don’t think he starts if the Rays make the WS, I think he and Price switch. I think even he knows that his days are numbered.
curt schilling bloody sock?
I have to trust Madden in this matter…. Kaz may show up big for us… he may show up with a bloody bong the day of his start and just pitch his heart out, and the team could really get behind that.
I'm going to come right out and say it.
I think he gets shelled in game 5, and that ends his season. Maddon is loyal, but he’s not stupid.
numbered?
I highly disagree. To the max consult me later for more eraeasons

Quote from OTM
I wasn’t kidding in the thread. Rays: We get 2 outs rather than 3 in our innings, and you let us use DP, Youks, and Bay in the lineup over and over and over. I’m pretty sure we’d have a better shot. Much more balanced in that Rays’ lineup.
They’re not in full-panic mode over there; but they’re damn close.
Exactly
The Rays showed they were playoff ready in September when they refused to give up the division, and the Sox showed that they were concerned about this team when they effectively conceded the division after the 2nd home game in the last series of the year. You play a team 18 times in a year, pry the division title from them, then you meet them in the playoffs? The team that wins the series isn’t going to rely on veterans or clutch or intangibles. The team that wins the series is going to be the team that is the best team.
Experience Vs Exuberance.
That’s what they’re billing it as.

saying he is a question for Game 5 or 6, the mysterious unnamed scout (man, that guy gets around!) says he has arm issues that doesn’t let him finish on his slider (which he never throws anymore) and his fastball.

No doubt he's hurt
I take issue with any insinuation with him not pitching again in the playoffs. Granted the Sox are like the worst team for him to pitch against. Maybe sit him for this series and hope the extra rest would allow him to pitch well IF we make the WS.
I talked to a scout, and he said that Erik Hinske's excess grit and hustle is rubbing off on BJ
And that it’s a pain-relieving agent, and BJ’s rubbing it into his shoulder, which is why he’s playing so good right now.
Yeah but I actually have reliable scout.

…my initial prediction is looking pretty good… i even said they would take one from us at home, and we would take one at fenway, and the rays in 6…. i’ll stick with that. i don’t think we take all 3 at fenway, though that would just be incredible

in my prediction i was forgetting the 3 in a row at fenway… so change to “…take at least one at Fenway”… :-)

Replying to the title of this thread.
Jon Lester is a very good pitcher: he pitched well throughout the season, and against the Angels in the playoffs. His stuff wasn’t working today, and he left a bunch of fastballs up in the zone to be clobbered. It can, and does, happen to every pitcher. Lester also has pitched way more innings this season than at any point in his career, and could well be experiencing fatigue.
Only an idiot like Buck Martinez would proclaim Lester “the best pitcher in baseball.” That distinction would more accurately go to Roy Halladay.
Matt Garza was really good today (although he should have been lifted after 6). Considering how Delmon Young has panned out for Minnesota this season, that trade is looking like a steal for the Rays.
"It's just a tiny little nick, but it hurts when I get champagne in there."
- Jason Bay, on getting spiked scoring the winning run in ALDS Game Four.
and beckett is supposed to be the best postseason pitcher right now and look how he did
and yes he might now be him self right now, but kaz is also pitching like shit lately which it looks like he might also not be healthy

He really only got touched up in one inning
His biggest problem was he missed a few spots and his PC.
As far as Garza pitching the 7th. the only reason to pull him facing the bottom of the Sox lineup was if you were thinking about skipping Kaz’s next start. His PC was okay. He had the black-hole that is the Sox 8-9-1 hitters up. Let him pitch now, what are you saving him for. Save the Bullpen.
It's a joke dude, chill
