More shitty umping.

And Youkilis needs to shut his mouth.

It's about time Girardi.

The ump got the calls right. What was shitty about it?

You don't think his strike zone has been inconsistent?

Nice.

I thought the strike zone was worse yesterday, actually.

It was. That's why I said "more." This whole season has been horrible. They should use more Questec.

That third pitch to Coco looked pretty good, so you may have a point. :-)

Giambi could have tried a bit harder on that play.

I couldn't care less. At least we got something for him.

I think it works out well for both teams, I don't know the two other players for sure yet, but LaPorta is definitely the centerpiece. I think you have the right attitude, LaPorta and two other prospects trumps two picks. LaPorta, by all indications, is a pure masher. Right handed stick, plays 1B and corner outfield spots. I'll hold out on my opinions of the other players until it gets finalized, but it's not like the Indians got fleeced. Shapiro seems like a pretty decent GM, I'm guessing nobody came with an offer as good as Milwaukee.

I watched C.C. pitch here last year when one of the games in Cleveland got snowed out. Never would've figured I'd be seeing him pitch here again a little bit over a year later.

And the Sox bullpen gives up another lead.

Nah, Pedroia is fundamentally better than Pedroia and takes more pitches.

For example, Cano's P/PA this year is 3.25 and last year (his high) was 3.42. Pedroia's P/PA this year is 3.75 and that's his lowest.

Pair that with Cano's inability to hit extra base hits this year and Pedroia walks away as superior

I think they have no confidence in anyone other than Lopez and even they can't use him everyday.

Ugh, terrible fucking slide by Cano. The plate was exposed a little; he could have touched it with his left foot.

Pedroia and Cano walk about equally.

And yes, this year Pedroia is way better. But they are very similar players.
