Fuck you, john danks.

There's a few pitchers in the league that makes me harken back to my baseball days of yore and make me think that I wouldn't be afraid to step in against them and try my luck. Soft tossers like Moyer or Buehrle come to mind ( though they would make me look foolish I have no doubt). Watching Masterson pitch with all that body coming at you then the 3/4 delivery uncorking 95 plus, Id have my ass so far in the bucket Id be facing the Sox dugout when I started to swing. He looks like he'd be absolutely no fun to hit against.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

John Danks is singlehandedly killing this team.

5 runs should be enough to beat the tribe. Fuck you, Danks. You've had your head up your ass for the better part of 2.5 seasons now. I loved Danks when they made that trade...even when he was getting his brains beat in during the 2007 season. He showed some real good signs in 2008. And since....not much. Started 0-8 last year, has an ERA over 6 this year, not helping the team at all. He used to be my favorite pitcher, now I dread when he starts. I just hope he isn't starting on the 12th when I'm at the Sox game.

Danks isn't sharp right now. He'll get "good" again. My problem is that even when he is good, he seems to get beat an inordinate amount of the time. Instead of losing 7-5, he'll lose 3-2. It seems to be a mental thing with him. It isn't that he lacks the stuff to get guys out. Last night after getting behind 3-0 early his team put him back in the game. They scored making it only a one run deficit. He comes right back out and deepens the hole by allowing a home run.

I realize it isn't popular to look at each game as an individual event in this era of advanced statistics. But the game as it occurs is important. You might shoot a 72 at Whistling Straits on the same day Tiger Woods shoots a 74, but if you're playing the course together in the same foursome, you're not going to beat him. Baffert might be unable to get Bodemeister to work a mile and a quarter in 2:01 by himself, but when that's what he needs to beat Union Rags, he'll give it to you. Pitchers pitch the games they're in. They're not automatons programmed to produce a specified ERA.

With Elon, Tulsi, and Don

It is a sad day when Gavin Floyd comes off my most hated Sox pitcher list and is replaced by Danks.
Peavy, Sale and Floyd have been ballin' recently, but Danks has not earned .01 of his new paper.
