MVP is Senor Shields

Hey Yankees... you can take your apology and your trophy and shove 'em straight up your ass!

MVP: Shields

Let the good time roll, and keep rolling

Jamie Shields is awesome

Mike Mussina is not
Go Jays!

headline on mlb.com…

“Manny makes memorable catch as sox face o’s”

Manny Ramirez tracked it down at the wall, high-fived a fan, then spun and doubled up the runner at first.

9 = 8

this game worries me,

Shields has a HORRIBLE record against the Yanks:

0-5, 33.1ip, 49h, 30r, 29er, 10hr, 8bb, 24k, 7.83era

even though, he starts on my fantasy team.

so, Shields for MVP…

Tonight he is throwing a no-hitter. I’m calling it

If he throws one

I will promise you a post on DRB

Jay Payton

just hit a grand slam off Okajima in the 7th to put the O’s up by 3.

by Vin on May 14, 2008 5:24 PM EDT   0 recs

rough,

Okajima had been lights out so far…

by davidsmarch on May 14, 2008 5:24 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

He allowed

73% of inherited runners to score before tonight.

He crushed that ball..

It was a laser. PEW PEW PEW.

Hell no I don't mind.

If this is true I’m going to be SO HAPPY.

And since Kaz has experienced injury and winning

I think you’ll see him sign lower than most expect

by Cory Alexander on May 14, 2008 5:30 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I was thinking more of 4 yrs, 50 mil

with 2-3 options for 15MM+, and a buyout of a couple mil after the base of 4

Is it true that Kaz wants Santana type money?

Does he deserve it?

I say he derserves big money, but I don’t know about Santana type deal.

i was listening to mike and the mad dog also…sternberg said he has had season tickets to the mets for the last 20 something years and grew up a yankee hater. he also said he named his son after Koufax. Didn’t really say much else beyond what Cork Gaines reported

I just can't bring myself to listen to those two.

Hell

My guess is that Balfour had the job locked up in ST until he had that string of bad outings and Dohmann had the string of good outings.

Salas and Balfour = Bye bye Glover and Hammel?

9 = 8

by websterjtc on May 14, 2008 5:51 PM EDT   0 recs

Doubt it

Hammel and Glover serve as “long men” on the team, yet I think Howell is the only reliever to have multiple multiple-inning stints.

Wheeler...

PTI is ignorant

Tony and Wilbon both had the Rays winning under 81 games, just because they didn’t know who played for them….

This just shows you the “experts” that fill ESPN

Cornhiser hates the Tampa Bay area.

He once wrote that all Tampa Bay has to offer is, to paraphrase, “endless rows of Waffle Houses”.

Is D’ohboy really worse then Rayes? He wasn’t exactly lights out here people. He did cost us a sweep against the Os in April.

That’s good. More K’s = less balls in play.

what kind of announcement?

by websterjtc on May 14, 2008 6:28 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

The Rays rejected the return of Meek by the Pirates in exchange for cash considerations—but technically speaking, it isn’t a trade. However you slice it, the Rays got some money from the Pirates and allowed them to hold onto the reliever. —Lancaster
