9.00 era 18.00 whip. Lackeys back in town

Great with Lackey back, our possibilities are unlimited. Boy did Scosia know what he was doing or what for letting this clown hit the road.

this guy is a stiff and has always been a stiff. The year before he signed with the sox he beat a team with a winning record 3 times all year. Tampa is one of the worst hitting teams in the american league, i am surprised they didn’t start him agains’t BC, somebody he might be able to get out. This guy will lose more then 12 games and win less the 14

I will be one guy who will remind you of this quote….let’s call it 12-14 for the season….

Loose definition of rebound. Lackey sucks.

You’re a real loser, give the guy credit, it’s been a long time & he’s gonna have a fine season in spite of negative bus throwers like yourself.  If he threw a one hitter you’d find fault with it.

By the looks of these posts, all the snipers and fault finders are busy, they know not the meaning of sportsmanship or supoporting one of their own, they are very adept at burying people, 99% of these fault finders will be cheering for him when he starts mowing down opposing lineups.

Don’t blame Lackey.  We all would have taken the money if it was on the table in front of us.  It took a miracle trade to purge this team of most of its overpaid baggage last year.  They throw money at players like its water and expect them to actually work hard for it.  As long as guaranteed contracts are the norm baseball will forever be the boring POS it has become

Don’t count on that happening.  It’s more likely the only thing Lackey will be mowing down is his lawn

Thank you.  Some sanity.

Everyone is looking to be a smartazz and get in their attempt at humorous sound bites.  Not real fans, just casual observers.  They live in the world of 160 characters with no objectivity.  

Considering what Lackey was up against with all critical eye’s on him,his 1 inning was very good.He has’nt been on the mound in a year and a half he had to be very nervous.Bases loaded and no outs what was he thinking knowing that they’re were those hoping he would fail.Under those conditions i thought he was very good the way he bore down and did his job.Good going John.

Comments like that show everyone your ignorance about the game,your knowledge of human nature as to the pressure that man was under.I would imagine that your outlook on life in general isn’t very bright.To say that the guy sucked says alot about yourself.Sorry you said it not me.

Another foolish comment.All hitters at this point suck.Both pitching staffs did well because they are well ahead of the hitters.If you don’t know anything about baseball,why the hell are you making comments>

I know your not related to Jimmy.

You are right.I find it funny when people say he’s on a contract year he’ll be playing his butt off.What doe’s that mean that they don’t always play their butts off? Yes in many cases,long term contracts are coming to an end by and large and thats good for the fans and the game.

I’m amazed that this loser stiff is still pitching. How can you defend him?

I think Lackey will pitch more in line with his pre-injury numbers…probably win 14-15 games , he will be a decent pitcher.
