bad playoff pitcher
just ask the Yankees
by sofladude77 on Oct 2, 2008 1:20 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
from espn
The right-hander was 5-4 with a 3.43 ERA at the end of May but faded after that point, going 7-12 with a 5.41 ERA over his final 21 starts.
Vazquez’s last three outings were particularly bad. He lost all three while posting a 13.50 ERA, never lasting through the fifth.
Vazquez is 5-4 with a 4.36 ERA in 12 career starts versus Tampa Bay, and 1-2 with a 3.54 ERA in three starts this season. Crawford is 11-for-26 (.423) with three doubles and two triples against him, but Pena is 2-for-17 (.118) with 10 strikeouts.

CC is batting 5th.
Not so cool. I hope his timing is back. I know it took Evan what? about three days to find his groove?

Tell Garret Anderson... I mean Carl to chill out until he gets his timing right.
There is a huge difference between a major league playoff pitcher and single, at best pitcher, for the Phillies or Pirates.

While Crawford voiced his displeasure with batting lower in the order, saying he felt like he had to "prove himself all over again", Maddon felt the move was necessary, particularly for Thursday's Game 1.

Not a shock
This is the man that whines anytime he’s not batting 2nd.

To his credit
In the Times, CC did say something today about how most of Maddon’s calls seem to be proven right, and so he was just going to go with it. That’s paraphrasing, but at any rate, it was refreshingly un-whiny.
by E. Hayden on Oct 2, 2008 1:37 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah Vazquez will be the worst pitcher we face in the playoffs
Maybe not in terms of overall talent, but in terms of their ability at the moment they take the ball. This dude is really really really fading.

Funny point.
My work says “anyone missing today from work without a doctor’s note shall be considered unexcused and could potentially lead to his or hers own termination from this company. It is not acceptable to miss work for a Tampa Bay Rays game.”
You know I missed about accumatively 10 days over the past three years to Rays games, and all the sudden they are in the playoffs and now people care. This is funny to me.

I like for the first time in my life
all I hear about on the news and radio is about the Rays. This is awesome! I mean in comparison to last year where the Rays were put to the back burner after July 15 because the Bucs were starting training camp.
This season has been great! I mean, really awesome.

now, just wait until winning baseball is in our culture.
A few times this year and a lot of times last year, I would hang out at the beach in the morning. Have lunch near downtown then go to the Trop. You can incorporate the two. If you have a boat, you dock it at the pier, walk to the trop. It’s a nice night. Hell, boating from Tampa to St.Pete SO MUCH quicker then 275.

There’s few things as enjoyable to a Rays fan as having their 5 and 3 year olds chanting “Boo White Sox!”
I should have got them cowbells! =)

I think the national picture is something like:
1. The Rays have been bad for a long time
2. Being bad like that gets you a lot of high draft picks
3. Any dummy can put together a good team eventually if you get enough draft picks.
Of course, if this were true, we’d be amazed this season by the 4-0 Detroit Lions.
