Guest Anglesault Posted May 13, 2004 Report Posted May 13, 2004 I'm watching the replay of the Yankee game. I heard no Angel got beaned.
Guest Anglesault Posted May 14, 2004 Report Posted May 14, 2004 While the teams weren't mad about the play that caused Posada's injury, Anaheim's Jose Guillen was still angry about a high-and-tight pitch from Yankees reliever Paul Quantrill in the eighth inning Wednesday night. ``I'm not afraid of him,'' Guillen said. ``We'll take care of business if he wants.''Said He wanted to, you refused. I believe the kiddies call that being a "pussy ass bitch", Jose.
therealworldschampion Posted May 14, 2004 Report Posted May 14, 2004 Phils win 4-3 today to take 2 of 3 from the Giants. Next up is Colorado, which should be an easier series for the Phils.
Guest Anglesault Posted May 14, 2004 Report Posted May 14, 2004 Why, what happened in yesterday's game? It got ugly. Guillen pulled a Manny on PQ, Ben Molina tried to tell A-Rod how to play baseball, and the Angels dugout started laughing at PQ. You do NOT laugh at the Yankees at Yankee Stadium.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted May 14, 2004 Report Posted May 14, 2004 Stupid mother nature again.. err...I thought the game would be canceled when they came back, but its not raining so they started the game back up Os down 6-5 going to the 7th.
Mik Posted May 14, 2004 Report Posted May 14, 2004 Juan Pierre just tripled in the tying run in the top of the 9th in Houston. Dotel has yet to record an out, 2 walks and a triple. The triple could be called an "Alkeiper special", as Pierre was trying to sac bunt, but failed and ended up launching an RBI triple. Moneyball baby. For once another team's bullpen is having a meltdown.
Mik Posted May 14, 2004 Report Posted May 14, 2004 Marlins win, Benitez knocks it down and lowers his ERA to 0.40. Maybe he did just need to get out of NY.
Vern Gagne Posted May 14, 2004 Report Posted May 14, 2004 Series of the weekend. Twins at White Sox. The first series of the season between these two rivals. Who look like they'll be in a two team battle for the AL Central title.
Guest Smell the ratings!!! Posted May 14, 2004 Report Posted May 14, 2004 I'm trying to get excited about this series, but...man, these teams just aren't that good.
sfaJack Posted May 14, 2004 Report Posted May 14, 2004 Juan Pierre just tripled in the tying run in the top of the 9th in Houston. Dotel has yet to record an out, 2 walks and a triple. The triple could be called an "Alkeiper special", as Pierre was trying to sac bunt, but failed and ended up launching an RBI triple. Moneyball baby. Yeah, Biggio should have caught that ball. I didn't think he would get to it, but he did and then basically dropped it. Should have been out #1, but the Astros' below average centerfielder cost them the tying run. That's Moneyball, too: below average defense doesn't hurt you very much. It's a flawed philosophy, in my opinion. Craig Biggio playing centerfield is fine in a 10-2 game, but Craig Biggio in centerfield in a 2-1 game is disaster waiting to happen. If he doesn't drop that ball, I think the Marlins don't win because Nunez never would have made it around - they didn't get another hit off Dotel after the triple. Regardless, the Astros lost and the Cubs won, so I'm happy.
Guest Smell the ratings!!! Posted May 14, 2004 Report Posted May 14, 2004 don't the Astros have a guy to replace Biggio with a one run lead in the 9th? or should I say, why don't the Astros have a guy to replace Biggio with a one run lead in the 9th?
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted May 14, 2004 Report Posted May 14, 2004 That's Moneyball, too: below average defense doesn't hurt you very much. It's a flawed philosophy, in my opinion. Craig Biggio playing centerfield is fine in a 10-2 game, but Craig Biggio in centerfield in a 2-1 game is disaster waiting to happen. First off, Moneyball does not prescribe that philosophy. It simply states that you can make an estimation of how defensive moves will effect your team. That done, you can measure whether the offense will offset the hit in defense. Sabermetric teams do not punt defense.
Vern Gagne Posted May 14, 2004 Report Posted May 14, 2004 I'm trying to get excited about this series, but...man, these teams just aren't that good. True. But in all honesty who in the American League is really that good? New York, Boston, and Anaheim are the only ones I'd consider elite teams.

And it should stay like that, with maybe Oakland joining in.
Bored Posted May 14, 2004 Report Posted May 14, 2004 Figured someone would have posted this by now but it's Carlos Beltran trade rumor time: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/baseball/173371_mari14.html Bavasi said no deals are near, but rumors are circulating the Red Sox and Royals are trying to entice the Mariners into a three-way trade. Boston would trade pitcher Byung Hyun Kim and, possibly, outfielder Johnny Damon to the Mariners in exchange for pitcher Freddy Garcia and minor league starter Cha Seung Baek. If the Red Sox could get the Mariners to bite, Garcia would then be shipped to Kansas City, with outfielder Carlos Beltran going to Boston.
Mik Posted May 14, 2004 Report Posted May 14, 2004 That sounds like it is incredibly in the favor of Boston. I hope for the sake of baseball that deal doesn't happen.
the pinjockey Posted May 14, 2004 Report Posted May 14, 2004 So KC would trade their stud FA to be center fielder for a decent FA to be pitcher? Seems like it kind of defeats the purpose of trading Beltran if they get nothing for the future.
Guest Anglesault Posted May 14, 2004 Report Posted May 14, 2004 Edgar's numbers against us looks like someone's good year. .328 (?) BA, 22 Homers and 101 RBIs.

Seems like it kind of defeats the purpose of trading Beltran if they get nothing for the future. The Royals should just let Beltran leave via free agency and take draft picks. Then they'd get two guys in return under their control for six years of major league service.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted May 15, 2004 Report Posted May 15, 2004 Braves vs. Braves tonight, as the Milwaukee Brewers are wearing Milwaukee Brave throwback uniforms.
Guest Anglesault Posted May 15, 2004 Report Posted May 15, 2004 Braves vs. Braves tonight, as the Milwaukee Brewers are wearing Milwaukee Brave throwback uniforms. Why? Oh, who the hell cares. Yanks look awful, Mussina looks worse.
Guest Smues Posted May 15, 2004 Report Posted May 15, 2004 Braves vs. Braves tonight, as the Milwaukee Brewers are wearing Milwaukee Brave throwback uniforms. Not knowing about this I turned the game on about 3 minutes in and was trying to figure out who the hell it was pitching for Atlanta. Then I realize it was the Brewers pitching. This is messing with my mind.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted May 15, 2004 Report Posted May 15, 2004 Here's a trivia question. Which Yankees pitcher has won the most World Series WITH the Yankees?
Guest Anglesault Posted May 15, 2004 Report Posted May 15, 2004 World Series Games or straight World Series?
Guest Smell the ratings!!! Posted May 15, 2004 Report Posted May 15, 2004 rumor has it that Jose Vidro is agreeing to a 4 year, $30 million contract. My first thought is Vidro is high. My second thought is it's gonna be awesome to see the Red Sox and Yanks get in a bidding war over Jerry Hariston and Junior Spivey
Guest Anglesault Posted May 15, 2004 Report Posted May 15, 2004 Ford has six, Reynolds has six, Raschi has six, and I know you're gonna come up with some obscure inning that Berra or Mantle pitched in a throw away game, making them a "pitcher for the Yankees" or something. Does it have to be a starter?

Does it have to be a starter? Its strictly pitchers, and it doesn't have to be a starter. You're on the right track. There's three other pitchers with six World Series wins with the Yanks.
