Lester gets first loss, Yanks win in 10, Gronks arm is infection free.

Ellsbury right now is probably one of the 10 worst hitters in baseball, based on his numbers so far.

middlebrooks is right there with him

au contraire - They were in the post season in 2009 and played like the Yankees did against Detroit. I'd also call being one Yankee intentional loss to the Rays on the final day of the season in 2011 "sniffing" the post season. They didn't get to bite, but they definitely got a whiff.

With a team that was gonna challenge the 27 and 98 yankees as all time greats, they needed the yankees to beat the Rays while they lost to Baltimore to back in to the playoffs.

Yup, our fanbases sure have different standards.

Sorry Petey - you only get one response to each post.

It's close actually, but at least Middlebrooks has 20 XBH's, compared to Ellsbury's 12, and Ellsbury has had 34 more PA's than Middlebrooks, so Ellsbury has made more outs.

I thought we were just listing bad hitters. my bad.

 

[Kate Upton]

Don't forget Ichiro

He's up there too...

Rickie Weeks has to be the absolute worst though.

kinda goes hand in hand with red sox draftees

So if the Yankees offer to trade Gardner right now for Ellsbury, do you guys think Cherington drives Ellsbury to the airport himself, or calls for a taxi?

Considering Ellsbury's FA status and Gardner's current team control status, I'm sure Boston would love that deal...

No joke.

Why would Ellsbury's FA status matter?

At the rate he's going, it's not like it would be all that difficult to retain him, if they wanted to

At least it gives us good material

"hey, they sure do draft well"

Hey Strongo You really show what ALL Red Sux fans look like

Rickie Weeks is an abomination, but he still isn't as bad as B.J.Upton.
