Damn, he was planning on hitting 4 HR's tomorrow night. .

I know, really. Kevin Youkilis really got his [expletive] handed to him by the [expletive] running away and then falling to the ground with Kevin Youkilis. .

He was a very good player for a period of time, but he shouldn't make the HOF.

Oh, ya, Kevin Youkilis had no reason to be mad even though he was hit the other night, and got hit again tonight. Miguel Cabrera moved his hands towards the ball and got hit, and it was obviously not intentional as Junichi Tazawa was starting for his first time in the MLB, and already had 2 strikes on Miguel Cabrera. Rick Porcello may not have thrown at Kevin Youkilis intentionally, but he may have been trying to show his teammates that he has their back, and wanted to demonstrate that to them as he is a young pitcher. Also, if you hit someone, don't be a [expletive] and run away like he did, and then turn and fall down with Kevin Youkilis.

You are wearing a black collared shirt. .

You better be quiet or I'll post the picture of you in your kitchen.

That is an absolutely absurd statement.

That may be correct, but when Kevin Youkilis gets thrown at a lot, then you can't expect that he is not going to be pissed, and he was hit last night as well.

That's all I'm trying to say. I'm not trying to say that Tim Lincincum and Matt Cain aren't very good pitchers, Josh Beckett and Jon Lester aren't really on an even playing field.

It goes both ways, and yesterday they were throwing at the Boston Red Sox players, and there is no way that Junichi Tazawa making his first start, while having two strikes on Miguel Cabrera is throwing at him, and Miguel Cabrera went into the pitch a little, even though that would be hard to avoid. Dennis Eckersley was adamant that Rick Porcello wasn't throwing at Kevin Youkilis, but then the stats came out. Rick Porcello has hit two batters this season I believe, and both times it was Kevin Youkilis, and he had thrown at Victor Martinez the inning before.

If all of those players make the playoffs and pitch well, then it's a completely different story, but they haven't been there yet, and you don't know that they will be there, so it doesn't make much sense saying that at all.

I'm surprised no one picked them. They have a good QB, good WR's, and great LB's......

Kevin Youklis is not a douche at all.

And, Terry Francona is ejected.......

Well, he has the best batting average on the Boston Red Sox, is their most versatile players, a great fielder, and the team needs all of the help it can get, so yes, I think it is somewhat of a big deal in that sense, and how often do players charge the mound?

I'm not sure if the pitch was thrown at him intentionally, but there have been some hit batters this series along with other close calls. The only thing I can say is that Rick Porcello looked very surprised, and that was probably because he didn't throw it at Kevin Youkilis intentionally, or he didn't think that Kevin Youkilis would charge the mound. Also, you have to keep in mind that Kevin Youkilis gets thrown at and hit quite often.

Do you have an MLB package or something, or did they show the replay during the Philadelphia Phillies game?

[expletive] the Detroit Tigers!!! Stop [expletive]ing throwing balls at every [expletive]ing player!!!!!!

Again, you have a reading comprehension problem. The point was that post-season experience matters, and your post actually made no sense at all. Seriously, that post made no sense at all.

Look, I know I am in the minority thinking that it is closer than people make it look, and that maybe Josh Beckett and Jon Lester are a better 1-2 punch, but it is hard for them to have better stats when they play in the AL East. I'm not trying to penalize Tim Lincincum and Matt Cain because they are in the NL West and haven't pitched against many good teams, but it's more of Josh Beckett and Jon Lester pitching in the AL East, which I think most people will say is the best division, or one of the best. I understand that the stats at first glance favor Tim Lincincum and Matt Cain, but they don't have to pitch against AL line-ups every day with a DH, and just flat out better line-ups. And, take it for what it's worth, but John Kruk and some of the others on ESPN believe that Jon Lester is currently and will be the best left-handed pitcher in the AL.

People need to realize how brave the guys are. You have to be extremely brave to do what they are doing, especially if you are the first man in.

I am thinking for myself, and Barack Obama is making some really poor decisions. He says one thing, and does another. It's obvious what the Democrats try and do. They will say "We are going to fix the debt, and we aren't making any excuses, BUTTTTT, George W. Bush messed everything up". Anything that they do and fail at, they will use George W. Bush as their excuse.

That's the thing. I never said that I would take Josh Beckett and Jon Lester over Tim Lincincum and Matt Cain, but I'm trying to make the point that the two 1-2 punches aren't too much different in terms of how good they are, and there is an argument to be made that either is better. The problem I have is when I look through the game logs of Tim Lincincum and Matt Cain, I don't see them pitching against as many good teams as Josh Beckett and Jon Lester do, and that makes a difference to me. Also, even though Brandon Webb is out for the season, I think that next year Dan Haren and Bradnon Webb will be a deadly 2-1 punch.

I had picked him up right after the draft, which was before he announced his retirement, and I don't really need to pick anyone else up, so I'm holding onto him for now, hoping that he returns, even though I hate him.
