Guest Smues Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 To answer the Willy Aybar question, last I read he was in Boston. Get'em gumshoes!
vivalaultra Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 "Do it Rock-a-pella!" "Where in the world is...(deep voice) Willy Aybar?" Speaking of missing middle infielders, did they ever find Pokey Reese?
Guest Richard McBeef Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 How am I supposed to find Willy Aybar? I don't even know where to buy lights on sticks!
MarvinisaLunatic Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 Serious time! How the Orioles do over the next 4 games will be very telling because everyone's been complaining that they're beating up on crap teams like KC and TB, and Toronto who is hurting really bad (Hence the winning 8 of their last 9). They get Oakland and Boston @ Home, and its vs Haren vs Bedard, Harden vs Guthrie, and the Boston series they face Schilling and Beckett.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 Err.. Harden won't be starting tomorrow because of a shoulder injury, so Dallas Braden, a left hander will make his first major league start for Oakland.
the max Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 I hope the entire weekend series with Sox/Jankees isn't going to be the ESPN/FOX two-headed monster. Dealing with Kruk/Dusty/Ravech, Buck/McCarver/Rosenthal and finally Miller/Morgan left me questioning whether or not to just watch the highlights online the next morning. Awful, awful stuff.
Dobbs 3K Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 Ugh...we have multiple TVs where I work, and one is usually on ESPN. Today, seemingly every time I've looked at it, I've seen something on the Red Sox/Yankees. The only other baseball item I've seen covered is Barry Bonds.
Guest Richard McBeef Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 As if this is a departure from wall-to-wall Pirates? I don't know what you were expecting. Bitching about the arms race is passe-with-an-acute-over-the-second-e-that-I-don't-feel-like-pasting-in. Just deal.
Dobbs 3K Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 It's what I expect from ESPN at this point. It's just silly that they can't take a break from discussing the two AL East teams (one of which is sub-.500 at this point, btw) to talk about anything else in MLB.
Guest Richard McBeef Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 It actually makes a lot of sense. Lots of people are Yankees fans and Red Sox fans. They're reaching more people this way than they would covering the Astros and Brewers. Sweeping the Yankees is a pretty big deal, considering how great Rodriguez has been. Who cares if the Yankees are under .500? Why does that mean they can't be discussed? New York being under .500 is something to discuss. It's not as if they should fall off the planet the second they fall below the mark.
Dobbs 3K Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 Well, there's other teams they can still discuss along with the Yankees. The Dodgers have one more win than the Red Sox right now (best record in the NL), but they seem to be off ESPN's radar pretty much. Hell, my own Brewers are in first place right now, first time in seemingly forever, and of course ESPN will never mention that fact.
Guest Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 Our local coverage is better than ESPN's, I don't need ESPN to cover the Dodgers.
vivalaultra Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 I haven't even heard them talking much about the Mets this season so far, which is odd.
devo Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 Kaz Matsui apparently isn't going to play at all against the Mets due to injury, which is a real shame. I had hoped to see what kind of reaction the Shea crowd would give him.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 Man, this Os/As game is gonna be a 1-0 or 2-1 game..ugh.
Slayer Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 Hell, my own Brewers are in first place right now, first time in seemingly forever, and of course ESPN will never mention that fact. Nobody likes the Brewers... not even the Brewers!
MarvinisaLunatic Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 ESPN might cover them if the Sausages get into a fight or something.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 Bedard is mowing through the A's so far like a lawnmower on jet fuel. Too bad Haren is doing just as well.
Guest Richard McBeef Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 ESPN might cover them if the Sausages get into a fight or something.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 swisher with a 2 run hr bleh game over if Haren keeps pitching the same..
MarvinisaLunatic Posted April 24, 2007 Report Posted April 24, 2007 I can get ready to watch RAW..yeahaw 5-0 still batting in the 4th.. the old Marvin JINX does it again
Bored Posted April 24, 2007 Author Report Posted April 24, 2007 I hope you are all sitting down when I tell you this...Rich Harden and Milton Bradley have both been placed on the DL. Really didn't see it coming with those two.
Guest Queen Leelee Posted April 24, 2007 Report Posted April 24, 2007 Last time I trust Bedard. Fuck you, Marvin.
devo Posted April 24, 2007 Report Posted April 24, 2007 Another great line for Maine tonight (7.2 IP, 1 ER, 7 H, 2 BB, 4 K), but it's worth mentioning that two balls hit off of him were mere feet from being home runs, one of which would have been a three-run, game-tying shot. He's pretty lucky that he ended up pitching mainly at Shea, since there are a lot of ballparks that don't take as kindly to such flyball pitchers.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted April 24, 2007 Report Posted April 24, 2007 Last time I trust Bedard. Fuck you, Marvin. Dont blame me..man hopefully they can at least get a split tomorrow night..actually without Haren in the Os look like they have a shot at making a comeback..
MarvinisaLunatic Posted April 24, 2007 Report Posted April 24, 2007 Huff just mashed a 3 Run HR off Embree on the first pitch he saw to make it 5-4 A's in the bottom of the 8th! YES!
Spaceman Spiff Posted April 24, 2007 Report Posted April 24, 2007 Chase Utley just SMOKED one off the top of the brick wall in dead center in Philly.
