Why pull Pedro after 6 with only 90 pitches?

This is why it sucks to bet on these fricken great pitchers. The damn bullpen comes in a screws ya.

Anytime I am on RJ or Pedro and it is 1-0 or 2-1 in the sixth I just start shaking my head b/c I know some bozo is going to blow it.

First Trevor Hoffman is the worst reliever, then the Cardinals suck, then Williams sucks, then Manny is God, then Sojo is the anti-christ, now nobody can get 3 outs and Williams is the worst manager since man began walking upright.....yawn

I think I just spotted Tony Gwynn with a Big Mac in each hand.

Williams is an IDIOT!!! A 1 run game and you pull your ace? I hope they do go after D Wells, because if Jimmy tried to do that to him he would have to have the ball surgically removed from his ass. This man has no spunk. He can't get the team fired up to save his life. All he has done now is proven to the Yanks that they can beat Pedro on any given day. Why can't Offerman turn a double play(the man SUCKS) Turn that double play and Pedro comes in for atleast another inning and to add insult to injury you have Mr Attitude diving for a ball that he had no right trying for. Instead of 1 run they get 2 Williams has to GO!!!

Thank you for one of the greatest explanations as to why Williams is the biggest dope in baseball today.

What pisses me off is I missed getting in my Yankees bet & over as some of you know I bet the Yankees & the over everytime they face Pedro.

I live in New England and get all the Red Sox games and there has been a huge push by the fans and alot of the media to get this clod fired. He is by far the most feebleminded dolt ever to put on a managers' cap and I can't believe he's lasted as long as he has, considering he's blown probably about 8 or 9 games for us this year by his ridiculous moves. There is no doubt that Duquette wants him out, it's just a touchy situation with the Sox in first and all. It almost makes me WANT the Sox to lose just so they can get a real manager in here to stop the bleeding. Hell, even the players don't like him.

Zigzag here is something for you to consider if you play offshore. All World (www.betallworld.com) has 5 inning lines on all games, so if you like your starters and don't want to risk a lead with the bullpen this may interest you. I just opened an account there and was surprised to see this. They also have home run lines on each game. Good luck.

The problem with Jimmy(besides being a MORON)is he plays games not to loose,instead of playing to win. He doesnt go after teams. No hit and runs. no stolen bases. I thought when Everett got here we would be stealing bases,but guess again. He has probaly forgotten how to by now. (which is obvious because he has been caught lately---Bad!)
This team does have a lot of terrible players,(Lansing,Offerman.Grebeck,Daubach,Oleary....) but I believe with some motivation and a different game plan they could be better.

I'm in the minority but I want Pedro strong in September and October. It's kind of nice seeing a manager stick to his plan and not abandon it for the Superstar. Go to Robneyer.com and read how Muser with his Marine mentality is ruining the young arms the Royals have.
