Originally posted by TranceHater btw mariano has a lower era and 2 less blown saves

3.38 vs 3.05 ERA is not really a noticeable difference.

mariano 3 losses. wagner 0.
mariano's given up more hits than wagner.
wagner's walked more and hit more batters, but has also struck out twice as many as mariano.

blah blah blah

Ummm... oh. Okay.

Its better off for the teams that the closers get all the kinks out at the beginning of the season, so when the team needs them the most to close out games and win some important games, they will be there.

Spring training is a joke, its more for the people from the minors to try to pick up a spot on the team. The starters cant get any kinks out when they are playing against newbies.

First of all, how could spring training be a joke if people from the minors are fighting for a position on the team which means a better life for them? I'm sure they're laughing all the way to the bank if they don't get a roster position.

Spring training isn't just primarily for letting the spring roster invitees fight for remaining roster spots, but also serves to help the starters work their way back to game shape. If spring training was more for filling out roster sports, they may as well just have audition camps instead of a month of preseason ball and not waste the time for all the regulars.

They'll sure as hell know what they get to work on when the newbies hungry for a roster spot expose their weakness.

or with bases loaded, 2 out, game tied, whiffs on high cheese or pulls an off speed pitch weakly to the left side of the infield

Scott Kazmir. That is all.

crazy ass 16 inning games..

what are cheap sites for yankee tickets

Beltran walk-off HR ends the game at last, in the 16th inning

Gotta tip your cap to Ryan Madson - 105 pitches in 7+ innings of relief

try craigslist. for the non prime events, you can get $5-$10 off certain games from sellers

it was funny when Big Papi broke his bat over his leg, after popping out against Rivera

hes still the greatest, he would never allow 6 baserunners in one inning like wagner did the other day

And your point is? No one is comparing Wagner to Mariano.

even the best have bad days
the Red Sox batted around and scored 5 runs off Rivera in a game last season

Mets trade Jorge Julio for El Duque.

Interesting.

Scott Kazmir is soooo good. Just reinforcing it...

That's one of the worst trades but it's not like trading A.J. Pierzynski for Joe Nathan, Francisco Liriano, and Boof Bonser. Great name by the way with Bonser.

Randy Johnson suck so bad it's comical. A slider that slides right into the meat of the bat on a righty. A 90-91 fastball on most nights vs. 97 mph.

Man Ram is about to have a month where he hits like 20 HR's I think. I can sense that. I would have thrown a heater into his ear after last night's trot. Yo Manny, you were down 1-7. Run the fawking bases.

Why do the Yankees never pitch around Ortiz? Why? Cuz Manny? Well there are many times were it still made sense.

I think El Fluke-a is a little past his peak. He was garbage in Arizona but he does thrive when things mean more. Maybe NY will inspire him.

The Kazmir for Zambrano trade is nowhere near the Nathan/Liriano/Bonser disaster. Also... Chris Capuano, Craig Counsell, Chad Moeller, Lyle Overbay, Jorge de la Rosa, and Junior Spivey for ninety at-bats of Richie Sexson and Shane Nance. The Brewers have since turned Lyle Overbay into Dave Bush, Zach Jackson and Gabe Gross.

It's hard to tell which of those two is worse. The Brewers got a lot of shit for Richie Sexson...
