Guest Anglesault Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 I feel good for a non-Yankee. I'm growing soft.
fairtoflair7 Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 GREAT NIGHT At the same time Johnson takes the Braves out with a perfect game...the METS once again come back in their last at bat to win again 5-4 agains the CARDS. This is a clutch team and as long as they can play .500 ball, they can hang around until Reyes is healthy SCREW the Braves!!
sfaJack Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 I just love how Skip Caray said something like "fans getting into this one" in a rather flat tone...almost as if he thought there's something wrong with cheering the opposing pitcher for THAT. Hell, if you can't appreciate that kind of effort or realize the history you're witnessing, you aren't a baseball fan.
Bored Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 He breaks Cy Young's record as the oldest pitcher to ever throw a perfect, almost 100 years to the day of Young's perfect game (May 5, 1904). Amazing.
sfaJack Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 Whoa. That's a nice little bit of trivia. Baseball is such a strange game sometimes.
Guest Anglesault Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 until Reyes is healthy BWAHAHAHAHA. almost as if he thought there's something wrong with cheering the opposing pitcher for THAT. There is. No matter how badly your team is doing, you shouldn't root for them to be embarassed.
Guest Choken One Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 Great performence by the Unit. Glad to see he backed up his comments he made with a incredible performence.
sfaJack Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 There is. No matter how badly your team is doing, you shouldn't root for them to be embarassed. It's not rooting for them to be embarrassed. It's giving a guy his due for having an amazing night. This is what, the 16th perfect game in history? You don't get much more historical than that. Hell, I hate the Yankees, but I was pulling hard in the final innings for David Cone when he tossed his a few years ago. And I'd do the same if someone did it to the Cubs.
Guest Choken One Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 I feel good for a non-Yankee. I'm growing soft. by a non-yankee that bitchslapped you in the World Series a couple years ago.
2GOLD Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 As a baseball fan, you should always cheer the opposing pitcher if he's about to toss a perfect game. It's a once in a lifetime thing to see and it's nice to at the very least says "thanks and congrats, but we'll get you next time". Now, if he tosses ANOTHER perfect game against your team or a shutout...you boo the living hell out of him.
Guest Anglesault Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 As a baseball fan, you should always cheer the opposing pitcher if he's about to toss a perfect game. I guess if you're a baseball fan over a fan of the team, yes. I'm the other way around. by a non-yankee that bitchslapped you in the World Series a couple years ago. I couldn't hate him, even then. Now, Schilling...
Guest Anglesault Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 Bernie CLEARLY, CLEARLY safe at first, called out. The Umps are disgusting this year.
geniusMoment Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 Tonight was the most disheartening night of the year if you are a reds fan. If they do not play well on this homestand thats it, they will be 7-8 games back and might as well trade off what they can.
Guest OctoberBlood Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 Tonight was the most disheartening night of the year if you are a reds fan. No, not really. Not even close. We just sweapt the best team in the league. A loss hurts, but c'mon - it's not that bad. The Rockies have one damn good lineup, from top to bottom. Nice to see Mr. Greek God get a start and Homer.
DerangedHermit Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 GREAT NIGHT At the same time Johnson takes the Braves out with a perfect game...the METS once again come back in their last at bat to win again 5-4 agains the CARDS. This is a clutch team and as long as they can play .500 ball, they can hang around until Reyes is healthy SCREW the Braves!! Floyd is lookin' good...They're only 2.5 back of the Marlins
Bored Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 Jason Schmidt tosses a one-hitter tonight with 13 strikeouts against the Cubs. Didn't see the game but apparantly the one hit was an infield hit. And that goes as the SECOND best performance of the night.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 What a crappy day to pitch that game. No one will remember it...like...now
geniusMoment Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 Its not the one loss its the way they started off this stretch of the season. If they play like this during this homestand they will be 7-8 games out by the end of it. With 4 against the 1st place astros and then 3 against the Marlins this homestand will make or break their season. If they can hold ground that is great, but this team is not good enough to come back from 7 games out. They are 3 out now, these games on this homestand now are must win for this team.
The Czech Republic Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 I can't believe Clement and his chin beard lost at home to Tubby there. Couldn't they have distracted him with some tasty baked goods?
Guest Anglesault Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 (edited) Yankees may lose this game. To the 13 Angels in the field. Edited May 19, 2004 by Anglesault
Guest Anglesault Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 (edited) Honestly, I'd almost take a loss tonight. It's totally unreasonable to expect a team to beat a team as good as the Angels AND an umpire crew. Edited May 19, 2004 by Anglesault
Guest Anglesault Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 Anaheim and their friends in blue win the game. Oh well.
Guest OctoberBlood Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 Kearns recalled. Romano, sent down. In other news, Jimmy Haynes signed a MLC with the Toledo Mudhens (Detroit Tigers). There was actually some talk of the Yankees signing him...
Fuzzy Dunlop Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 These injuries to The Cubs have just been unreal, now Sosa's heading to the DL. If somebody told me during spring training that in the first six weeks we'd lose Remlinger, Grudzielanek, Gonzo, WOOD, PRIOR, and SOSA and still be just one game back I'd have laughed my ass off. I predict The Cubs bounce back from last night's loss and win the next two, and just hope The Marlins can knock around The Astros a bit. OH, and for those of you who are fans of The Yankees, Red Sox, Cubs, Cardinals, Reds, or whoever else, just waiting to see when Clemens will finally lose a game, it's coming soon.
treble Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 I'm going to start a petition to keep the Jays off of the Wednesday afternoon games on ESPN. Terry Adams isn't a very good closer, anyway, but he's even worse, it seems, when ESPN's showing him try and save games.
razazteca Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 Anybody seen the Grand Slam by LeCroy in the Twins vs Jays game?
Guest OctoberBlood Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 Anybody seen the Grand Slam by LeCroy in the Twins vs Jays game? Indeed. And it all happened so quick. Good clutch hitting by Big Croy.
