Now here's a man who knows a bit about baseball.
There's precious little time for hate, so I'll try and make some sense of your drivel...:clown:
Well, where do we start?
1B Kevin "Greek God of Walks" Youkilis - a hothead, we could go with Youk but lets come with something longer than his real name for a nickname, and he's not Greek :nuts:
Having 95mph heaters aimed at yer head might make you angry too. He still didn't charge the mound though, so hothead might not be accurate here.
2B Dustin Pedroia - David Eckstein's midget brother, swings from the heels with an uppercut while rarely striking out or popping up :hmmm:
He's currently batting .321 currently with some impressive streaks this year (currently).
SS Julio Lugo - the human error machine, since he's injured you should be fine since you are forced to play Lowrie or Cora
I can't argue there. Defense and offense lacking real substance, but a part of the championship lineup nonetheless. Lowrie looks ok. Cora also an excellent back-up.
3B Mike Lowell - great defense and good clutch hitting, wanted to let him go and get ARod in the off season :nuts:
Who wanted to get A-Rod?? Mike's the man, WS MVP, good dugout presence and great clutch hitter. Not sure A-Rod will ever sniff a ring.
C Jason Varitek - abyssmal at the plate but good behind it
His defense, batter knowledge, and pitcher management more than make up for his lack of offense this season. He might just go on a hitting tear sooner or later.
LF Manny Ramirez - a head case
, plays a horrible LF, luckily in Boston where there isn't much LF, luckily he can still hit (though he was bad for a month or more)
You said it, he can hit. The Yanks will be looking at his situation at the end of the season I'd imagine. Lots of times I think that they can have him. I mean really, that flop onto the ball was classic Manny idiocy. Embarrassing, and yet he wasn't embarassed, hmmm.
CF Jacoby Ellsbury - batting leadoff with an avg quickly headed south, tremendous speed and good defensive skills
This guy has skills, needs a really good hitting coach to teach him patience at the plate. He'll be fine replacement for Manny at least in the field and on the bases. This is a big series for him.
RF JD Drew - good arm and pretty good in the OF, fortunately for you he got hot when Ortiz got hurt
Obviously.
DH David Ortiz - gotta hurry and get him back cuz we had slightly better numbers and a better winning pct without him :nuts:
When you say we you almost make me think that you'd like to be a Sox fan, but .... Big Papi? What's not to love? Lots of pressure on him I'd imagine. How he deals with it will determine how many games we win the Division by.
Reserves: Crisp - an overrated punk; Casey - hitting over his head most of the year and didn't get much playing time while doing it
Coco is getting a rep as a punk I guess, but he's a fighter, not a lover like you. He is above average defensively, got great speed and smart. His dad was a boxer and he can handle himself around much bigger guys. So he takes no guff, would you? Not to condone violence in sports or anything, but in a straight up one on one, my money's on him vs anyone on the Yankee bench. Send out Goliath (Joba), that I'd pay good cash to see. Speaking of Cash, he's been a more than adequate replacement for Mirabelli catching Wakefield, and he can hit. Casey needs more ABs, not sure how that will happen with Youk and Ortiz healthy.
Pitching. We got that covered. Just keep Papelbon away from the microphone, please.
