Over enough time he'll produce. NY gets in the heads of some players who aren't used to it but he is too good to stay cold for much longer

He didnt exactly light the world on fire in April in Atlanta last year either.

Where were you two when he was hitting .350(playing every game) during September? Was enough for you to avoid betting me about it. Go back. You'll see. I asked you guys many times, but you got scared off.

Too good? How many career POST SEASON RBI's does this star Tex have? All I remember is the sac fly for 1 RBI. He's hitting about .200 with 10 RBI this season. He's getting paid twice what he should(cuz he's seen as good citizen-clean-cut tame.)

Grow Up with this you want to bet crap!

This is what you said before. He had a shot Tuesday Night when Broxton couldn't find the K zone. Yes. Broxton threw a straight strike, and then threw 2 pitcher pitches. Zambrano and Gallardo are outhitting this guy.

I guess Bochy is a terrible manager.

It seems that NY (with the exception of Gales :zz: ) has been pretty leanient on Tex so far. I guess between the pitching/bullpen being at times just awful this season. The whole A-Rod season/injury saga. Then throw into the mix that David Wright and the team across town has been putrid at times too, equates to Tex flying under the radar with his slow start so far.
I like the guy and think he will be just fine. Especially after A-Rod gets back into the lineup and gives him a bit more protection. Just need more starts like they have gotten the last 2 nights and avoid meltdowns like they almost had last night.

make fun of me you want with all the dizzy stickers , if old man steinbrenner was functional this guy would be getting more heat than he is --that is a fact

Incorrect. If he was functional they would have fired the pitching coach by now.

As far as the :zz: :zz: goes, you brought them on yourself with the Chicken Little act after one game in to the season.

maybe so after that , but , your attempt at humor was based on what i said about friday night

i don't disagree with that , but no $20mm bust would have gotten a pass this long , the boys sure ain't like the old man , maddon or someone else would have buried him for a day in the papers already

I know this is a big mistake, but could you please refresh my memory? You had a few gems last week and I forgot which one you are talking about.


Isn't it a bit premature calling a guy a bust 11 games into a 8 year contract? Or did Scuds tell you to say that?

maybe bust is a strong word , but, how is a disappointment , is that a better word for you ?- do you not think that the steinbrenners are not diappointed that he is hitting under .200 a month into the season , do you not think that not seeing him come thourgh in the clutch against the red sox in the 10 th inning wasn't a disappointment -

nope - i only commented about the boston game strike out

the point of the whole thing is the pitching is bad i ain't saying there isn't problems there, but , go ahead and ask any of the steinbreners about tex so far and ask them how they felt about the strikeout in that spot - i'm sure a guy hiitng .195 and collecting $22.5 million is a major disappointment to them at this point -

scuds made a point about the guy being a differnce makers , and that is what he was brought in here to be - so far through 1 month of the season he has been a major disappointment

Sure he has underachevied so far. But do you actually believe that he's going to hit .200 all season? He is a notorious for getting hot after the all star break. Obviously that doesn't give him a pass for the 1st half. Does it worry you that the pitching staff is 12th in the AL in ERA? They are 4th & 5th in the AL in AVG. and runs scored. So like I said, I'm more concerened about the pitching then the hitting. They are averaging over 5 runs a game and that's with Tex around .200 and A-Rod out of the lineup. The offense will be fine.
To answer your question about the game in Boston. Sure I would have seen him like to get a big hit off one of the top closers in the leauge. But he didn't and them losing that game goes squarely on Mariano's shoulders PERIOD! But I'll bet you Tex does collect a few big hits in the 141 games that's still left in the season.
