He seems to have one each game recently and around that he's been dominant for his starts.<BR/><BR/>Aside from 3 innings 1 vs NYY, 1 vs Toronto and 1 vs Seattle. This still leaves the first Yankees game completely when he allowed 6 runs, his era is 3.09 in 35 innings.<BR/><BR/>His problem is when he walks a batter he trys to speed up his game, they need to get through to him to keep the game at his pace wether he has base runners or not, when he gets that he'll be fine.Travishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01676482582616039215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1593033418360023182007-05-04T16:15:00.000-04:002007-05-04T16:15:00.000-04:00@ Eric Ugh!

By the way, I don't recall saying that Spiderman 2 sucked, and I don't even have a problem with someone putting it in the upper echelon of superhero movies (not exactly a hugh selection to choose from). But the greatest action movie of our generation? That's where I take issue with Dan the man's post. So, Geoff, when you learn how to spell your name, feel free to get back to me.

Weak story, horrible execution (aka crappy acting with uneven character development - "I'm good, err now I'm evil, oh wait, flip the switch, I'm good again"). Spiderman couldn't keep his mask on, which gets a little old after a while (how many "oops, my mask came off, now you know who I am" moments can you have?). And that seen in the OR where that dumb nurse screams like it's some terrible Godzilla movie. I thought I was going to have to leave the movie theater right then and there. Plus, Mary Jane gets passed around about as much as her name implies (or she gets hit as much as her name implies, take your pick). Kirsten Dunce sucks crap. The movie series can redeem itself by departing from the comic book and killing Mary Jane instead of Gwen Stacey. Finally, what you have left is the special effects (which can sometimes redeem a so-so movie), to which I can only say "meh".Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10250625169574540105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-65539070551139194882007-05-04T14:05:00.000-04:002007-05-04T14:05:00.000-04:00Too early to say anything one way or another on Ma...Too early to say anything one way or another on Matsuzaka. I'm in the camp that he has too good of stuff that he will work through this. Really, this was his only BAD outing, considering giving up 5 runs to the Yankees lineup over 7 innings really isn't terrible. Just don't congratulate the Yankees for not paying more, considering they wanted him every bit as much of the Red Sox, and then in a panic move, probably overspent on Igawa. <BR/><BR/>Little Big League was awesome. Any movie with Ken Griffey Jr. as a villain is fantastic.ToddTheJackasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333015679479284215noreply@blogger.com
