Getting a little ridiculous!

This isn't exactly a momentum creator like a Victorino etc.You're a Lackey/Tex fan. Both have been going home quickly in the post. Those are Grade 2 players. YOU EVER SEE A BIG WHITE LURCH YA DIDN'T LIKE?

Lackey does have a ring doesnt he? Post season numbers are not meaningful unless taken in context. If the hitter behind the player in question is weak or not hitting well then wont the first player rarely see a good pitch? All Texiera has done since hitting the majors as a starter is hit at a high level and continue to get better. I am no huge fan of his but do appreciate his abilities and realize that he hasnt had the mainstream exposure that a player of his statur should have. He is a hall of fame caliber player if he maintains a similar pace for 7 or 8 more years. He isnt as good as Pujols but exactly who is? By the way Tex should pass Garvey in HR's midseason of 2010.

YEP, AS A LONGSHOT(with little pressure from expectations put on him) Lackey did well. Puts him in the same category as Broxton n' Billingsley. He failed in the huge game against the White Sox in the 2005 ALCS. Got his tail kicked by Boston in the 2007 post. Failed terribly in August 2006, and the 1st half of September of 2006(failed to help put pressure on the A's.) Your lil allstar team has Tex at 1st, and Lackey pitching. You gunna have ARod too? I'll take other types. I'll take Victorino in center. Furcal at short. I'll take Loney at 1st(a better fielder than TEX LURCH,) because he is icey kool under pressure. Manny in Left. Pedroia at 2nd.
