It was awesome! It was the first time I ever watched a no hitter live and it had all the ingredients (great pitching, defense and favorable strike calls). I am already boasting to anyone who will listen that this is the best arm our farm system has produced since Clemens. His stuff is just electric, great offspeed stuff and an uncanny ability to locate his fastball.

And yeah, I agree with you completely. Both the Yanks and the Sox are producing a lot of great homegrown talent. I feel sorry for everybody else in the AL East and even the whole American League for that matter.

I'm psyched!

his curveball reminds me of Zito's in his Cy Young season. The difference is this kid can bring the heat and zito was never really able to go over 90.

Jacoby Ellsbury has also come in and delivered big late in the season for us.

I think if the Red Sox do end up holding onto the East it will be in large part due to the boost they've received from young talent coming up from Pawtucket and coming up huge down the stretch.


MVPs???

AL - A-Rod (I'm sorry to say but this is a no brainer).

NL - Chase Utley. He's hitting .340 and will end up scoring and driving in 100 with 20 Home Runs and, wait for it, he missed a month with a broken hand.

edm edit: I'm two weeks away from catching Tiesto followed by Ferry in DC (Gouryella 2k7). I'm cramming with ISOS6 and Magik 7. You know you're addicted when you prepare for big shows as if they were some type of examination lol

Jake Peavy is my NL MVP - Hes a shoe in for the Cy Young. If he can keep it together for the rest of the year... 17/18W, 2.00 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 250K's... ridiculous numbers.

Although ARod should be the runaway MVP, theres gonna be alot of people on the Magglio bandwagon.

AROD &

NL is a tough call. Noone is really running away with it. I think it's a close call between david wright & matt holliday. If colorado makes a run at the wild card i think its holliday. By the same token, if Philly makes the wild card i think utley has just as good of a shot.

Vlad, the baseball writers have shown a clear intention to NOT vote for pitchers in the mvp race. Last year there was a strong case for Santana for the AL mvp. Every game he started in the second half of the season the twins won. I don't know how much more valuable you can get than that.

jorge both sides of the plate - loving it!

Let's talk Cy young:

NL is pretty easy - Jake Peavy

AL (little tougher) - Eric Bedard (this wouldn't even be close if he was on a good team)

Haren has better numbers (except strikeouts) and plays on an equally bad team.

Beckett and Sabathia are also having really solid years for playoff teams. I wouldn't be surprised if any of the four we've mentioned win it.

i like bedard over haren because they have similar numbers except that bedard has an unbelievable K/9: almost 11!!!!!

Now that i think about it it looks like beckett or sabathia will win the cy young solely because of wins. I think sabathia has the edge in that race though because he's pitched a bunch more innings then beckett.

Peavy made the manager let him pitch on 3 games rest to play against Arizona, thats some balls right there.

If Milwaukee didnt slip since the first half of the year, Id put in a vote for Prince Fielder, but he himself has kinda tailed off.

BTW, in the wake of this... I have Holliday, Fielder, Peavy and Sabathia on my fantasy team.

Furthermore, Johnny Damon had an assist from the outfield throwing a runner out at home, does anyone know the last time he ever did that?

A pitcher is less likely to get a MVP than a DH...The reasons are obvious...

Understood, but he is the only person really dominating in the NL.

who else on this board thinks the guys at baseball tonight are idiots? Specifically, "one nut" john kruk, and "sexual harraser" steve phillips. I have no idea how Kruk got his job at ESPN, he's a clear yankees hater (i don't care if you don't like the yankees, but as a broadcaster you need to be objective), and i can't remember him making a correct analysis of anything baseball related.

The only guy on that show who ever says anything sensible is Gammons. Every now and then Buster Olney makes a guest appearance and I like him too but Kruk, Phillips and Baker all need to take a hike and do "First Take" or something like that.

Also, I'm going to back Simmons and say that Elijah Dukes needs his own show on ESPN. In fact, if he took over for Kruk that would work too - as long as he promises to smoke crack before each and every show.

Jerry Remy and Don Orsillo rule

James,, Al Leiter is great also cos he knows he was crap and thinks it's funny...

this is very true....i love how he talks about how slow he was and how he never threw strikes towards the end of his career. I just don't like Michael Kay.

quote:

Originally posted by jerZ07002 I just don't like Michael Kay.

Michael Kay is so obnoxious. I hate hearing him on TV. He's just as bad with Joe "Luis Castillo was a lifelong Minnesota Twin" Morgan

However, Giradi & Leiter are both great commentators.

As for the Mets, aside from Gary Cohen's annoying HR call, the SNY crew does a good job with calling games with Ron Darling and Keith Hernandez.

From the times I've watched red sox games, Jerry Remy and Don Orsillo are great.

Phillies games on TV are a joy to watch when Harry Kalas, the voice of the NFL Films, does the games. Same with Dodgers games when Vin Scully is on.

Yeah, they do rule. Rem-Dawg loves to push his campaign for presidency of Red Sox Nation while Don constantly makes fun of him. It's hilarious. An added bonus is the attractiveness of Tina Cervasio.

What sucks is that I can only listen to them when the Sox play at home, when they're on the road I have to listen to the commentators of the team they're playing. Commentators for the Indians, Rays, Royals and White Sox are all abysmal. Thanks a lot mlbtv, thanks a lot.

NO ONE is worse than Suzyn Waldman

That guy from the phils has a great voice. He is nice to listen to.

I also like darling and hernandez. They defintiely know what they're talking about.

When i'm driving during game time i can't even listen to the game solely because of her.

One of the worst broadcasting moments of all time:

http://www.wcbs880.com/topic/play_w...&audioId=695991

even tho its baseball i gotta give bill walton (or whatever his damn name is) a shout out cause i can t stand his ass pls put him out to pasture pleeeease

Game day people and I'm glad that the race for the AL East is so close..I can't wait to snatch victory out of the jaws of Boston right at the last minute..Especially when they spunked millions on a pitcher that hasn't got the qualifications to be a bat boy in the Bronx...
Manny has deserted The Sox yet again when they most need him and believe me,,the leaves in my back garden aren't the only things in New England getting swept this weekend.....
