It's pretty nice to not be worrying about the Yankees, isn't it?<BR/><BR/>Sarah, I didn't see that but that's pretty revealing; people really sound ignorant sometimes.

It's from the latest Monday afternoon Debate on ESPN SportsNation:<BR/><BR/>"Peter (Atlanta): When you really look at it, the Red Sox' rotation isn't poised for the post-season this year. Beckett's having a flop of a year. I've never trusted Matsuzaka in the post-season because he allows entirely too many baserunners and in October that will eat you up. You can't always make the perfect pitch to get out of a jam in October. And Lester... He's Jon Lester. Certainly nothing special. Top it off with the most underwhelming post-season pitcher in history, Paul Byrd, and the guy who threw 1 pitch and sent the Yankees to the World Series, Tim Wakefield. I like the Twins. You gotta love a rotation of 5 rookies, getting out there and pitching with every ounce of life they've got because they know they might never get this chance again. <BR/><BR/>Jayson Stark: Hey, Peter. You're kidding, right? Beckett's a flop? Yeah, it's a down year, but he's averaging 8.9 strikeouts per 9 innings, with a better strikeout-walk ratio than last year. So he can still dominate any game any time. And you've "never" trusted Dice-K in the postseason? He's only had one postseason And he's been much more comfortable this year than last. And Lester is "nothing special?" He's one of the top five lefthanded starters in the whole sport. You must be watching a different team than I've been watching."<BR/><BR/>Seriously, dude? Lester's nothing special?? As my friend said, "Do your homework."<BR/><BR/>And this one was a laugher as well:<BR/><BR/>"Jay (Chicago): I'd have to agree that the solid starting pitching and balanced lineup make the Red Sox the favorites. However, how do you think they'll respond if the Patriots have to go the season without Tom Brady? <BR/><BR/>Jayson Stark: It's true. That just might cast a pall over all of New England that even the Red Sox can't shake. Thanks for bringing that up, Jay."<BR/><BR/>Also sort of scary, since I can't tell if they're being facetious. I'm going to pretend that they are...<BR/><BR/>As for the rest, if you have time to spare and want to read more:<BR/>http://proxy.espn.go.com/chat/chatESPN?event_id=22401&lpos=spotlight&lid=tab3pos2Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03307484872194634734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574766998157088542.post-22559470432667752432008-09-09T04:22:00.000-04:002008-09-09T04:22:00.000-04:00Happy, happy, joy, joy!!
