Although, if you are a Tigers fan, they look pretty good again. Except Zumaya might be out for a little while.

I am not a Tigers fan.

Didn't they claim to have lost money in a recent year?

Yeah, and in the same report they said the Marlins made the most money of any team. So take that for what you will.

Jorge, this may be a "dumb" question: Is that "dude" in your sketch David Crosby?

If Clemens wasn't going to come to BOS (though they did reportedly offer him around $18 million and didn't ask for him to be ready until June, like last year in Houston) I'm glad he went to NYY. It'll feel sweeter beating them. It enhances the rivalry.

 

NYY will be a strong team once again. Clemens is an obvious bonus, but when Mussina, Wang, and Pavano return as well they'll be right back in it. Just in time for post-season sub-mediocrity from A-rod.

If Pavano returns.

Greatest right-hander of the last 30 years -- Clemens or Nolan Ryan?

It's close for me but, as much as I dislike his character, I have to go with Clemens.

Clemens over Ryan.

 

Pedro over Clemens for situational pitching, though. I'd take Pedro to start a big game over Clemens during Pedro's dominant era (1998-2000/2001). Pedro was amazing to watch then.

 

For overall value, though, it's Clemens.

Until Mr. April changes his last name to October, yeah.

 

Even though numerous people all over the internets, including here, have debunked the whole "clutch" thing and proven that Jeter is no more "clutch" than Arod and that Arod is just as "clutch" during the postseason as he is during the regular season? And even though "clutch" "clutch" "clutch" "clutch" small sample size "clutch" "clutch"?

A-rod has been, overall, abysmal in the postseason. It's a fact. It has nothing to do with how well of a player he's been throughout his career in the regular season. I get a kick out of his struggles to produce in the playoffs.

A-Rod actually has pretty decent (not bad, not great) post-season numbers over his whole career. His reputation as a post-season choker is largely exaggerated. Not only has he been good as often as he's been bad in the post-season, but in the years that he was bad, the whole team was often bad (ignoring the fact that it's hard to really make big generalizations about how someone's post-season is when it consists of 14 at-bats -- players have 0-for-14 runs all the time), and yet A-Rod has been given 100% of the blame. Jeter's been better, but they've both had some good series, and they've both had some bad ones. Anyone who really wouldn't want A-Rod on their playoff roster is probably mentally ill. In fact, I'd rather have A-Rod on my team come October than Jeter, although both would be an upgrade for most teams (okay, A-Rod would be an upgrad for everyteam, and Jeter for most).

Yeah, overall I guess it'd average out. The last few years he's been pretty wretched in the post season, though.

 

Either way, if it continues to get under his skin and affect his game, more power to the hype.
