I think he's a horrible human being. He treats the employees that aren't on the field like shit.

Yanks were losing four-two going into the (bottom) fourth. Reggie walks into the YES booth, sits down, and we hit three home runs in the inning.

George does alot of nice things for people that he likes to keep on the down-low.

Buck knew when to fold 'em on Rogers.

Shit. We just need to get out of this inning and untie it.

Jeter with tightness in the left groin, day to day.

 

I can just picture George cornering him and screaming "Have you been making whoopie?"

So I guess we're at the point of the season where the Yankees open up a 7 game lead and the Sox have to chase them the rest of the year?

 

It's like clockwork, I tell ya.

In case anyone cares, Rodriguez's hair was once again a different color today.

BTW, this is something I've been meaning to ask you guys for a while.

 

Where exactly did Antonio Osuna go after last year? Because I'm pretty fucking sure he was making me an omelet at a Mother's Day brunch.

So what do you think, guys? Does Hawkins get the closer role?

I think so. And I also think Borowski should be run out of town. He said he hates media scrutiny so now he won't take questions. Major media markets aren't good places to hate the media. Ship him.

He's a member of the Padres now

I was fairly certain of that, but I figured I'd ask.

 

Doesn't explain his breakfasting in Long Island though.

Agreed. He was a big asset most of last year, but I don't think he's the closer the Cubs should have if they're serious about contending. Moving him down in the pen won't help much, since the majority of these guys are brought in during tight situations, which is exactly the reason why we're discussing getting him out of the closer role.

Another nice little pitching duel between Harden and Towers tonight until the A's bullpen blew it in the end (allowing Frank Menechino to score, to boot). The march back to .500 continues.

Wow, he went 1 for 5. Blue Jays going to retire his number now?

 

Fun fact: A's starters now have seven straight no decisions. In six of the seven games the starter allowed two runs or less.

 

Fun fact #2: A's are pretty much screwed with this offense (which was mediocre at best with Chavez) and bullpen.

 

Fun fact #3: I'm soooooooooo not looking forward to mental morons that make up half of A's fans who will want Beane fired for not making the playoffs this year and to hire a GM who values "small ball."

They should want him fired for not being willing to spend money on Tejada but being willing to sign Kotsay to that insane extension. Tejada at SS and Crosby at 2nd would have been nice for Oakland.

Kotsay is set to make $16.5 Mill over the next 3 years(2004-2006) at $5.50 Million per year. He has a career .281 BA and a .756 OPS. Miguel Tejada is set to make $72 Million over the next 8 years(2004-2011) while making $11 Mill in 2005, $12 Mill in 2006 and 2007 and $13 Mill in 2008 and 2009. Considering he's a career .270 hitter with a .791 OPS, I don't think Tejada's worth as much as he'll be making.

Posted

FS get your facts straight it was ownership that said they weren't going to even attempt to sign Tejada before the 2003 season started (which probably contributed to his horrendous start to that season) because they said they couldn't afford him. Also on top of that Kotsay signed that extension back in July 2002 with the Padres.

 

This past offseason certainly wasn't Beane's best but he is primarily responsible for this team winning 392 games in a four-year span.

I swear I heard Beane gave Kotsay and even longer extension. Also Tejada's contract is back-loaded, how could A's ownership(which was told it could allow Tejada free because of Crosby by Beane) not even attempt an extension?

Because Crosby projects to be as good as Tejada. The better question is why should organizations waste money on overrated players. If you're going to spend money, spend it on a position at which you actually need a player.

You need two middle infielders. Crosby could have played 2nd.

Posted

The Yankees don't seem to need two good middle infielders.

 

Again this is all irrelevent because ownership was never going to pay the money to keep Tejada. Also Tejada's contract isn't that back loaded as yes he only makes $7 million this year but it will jump to $11 million next year, which is $2.5 million more than Eric Chavez will make next year. He'll make $12-13 million/year the remainder of the contract which is about what the A's will have to be paying Tim Hudson when they likley sign him to an extension this offseason.

 

I swear I heard Beane gave Kotsay and even longer extension.

There was some details that had to be worked out in the contract about a no trade clause when they made the deal but the money was already in place.

 

Here is an article when Kotsay signed his extension in 2002: http://www.maps.signonsandiego.com/sports/...14sullivan.html

YES trivia.

 

There has been one year that had a triple crown winner in baseball and horse racing

 

What was the year and who were the winners?

And I don't think 2004 will manage to get that accomplishment as well...

 

Unless Pujols gets cracking...

Yankees totally forgot that they had a game today.

 

Utterly disgusting.
