This week in Baseball

I'll admit it.

 

I'm now officially terrified of the Yankees. 10 in a row is trouble.

Watching the ESPN daygame today... can anyone tell what's wrong with Angels frickin' offense, they've been shutout by Westbrook through 6 innings... and it's also 1-0 Indians..

I think it's safe to say that Darrin Erstad is one of the most overrated players in the game. Watching today, no one on the team is hitting but Vlad

Cubs managed to get another blown save out of Mesa, rallying for two runs in the ninth, with a pair of Baker Boys doing the most damage. Dempster made in interesting, though, with the bags full and one out in the bottom of the ninth.

Back to back HRs for Newhan and Mora (#2) make it 60 HRs on the year and 7-3 Os in the 6th.

Damn, Alex Rios has a cannon of an arm.

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

Just for fun, Im thinking of going to the Os/Phillies game on Friday Night since Im off although I have to work saturday morning.

[mike546 0]

A-Rod hits his 14th HRer and the Yanks already lead 4-0.

 

I'm sadened Pedro isn't pitching on Friday, him against the 11 games in a row streaking Yanks would have been fun.

[TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe 0]

Mussina gave up 2 in the first and already threw about 30 pitches. 4-2 Yanks in the second.

[mike546 0]

Sure I'm being negative, but the Yankees aren't winning this game. Its just one of those nights.

 

Edit: Fucking Womack.

 

If the Yanks do lose this game, what an awful game to lose. All Posada has to do is pick up the DAMN BALL on the K, but instead drops it. Sheff makes a pathetic throw that ties the game, Womack turns a double into a triple, and Gordon gives up the game winning hit to a .194 hitter.

 

Edit 2: Holy crap, just when it couldn't get any worse, Sheff is a dumbass and doesn't get to third on a single, which takes away TWO TIMES when he would have scored later in the inning. And ironically, the game comes down to Giambi, who looks at three pitches RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE TO END THE GAME.

 

Christ, worst game this season.

[TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe 0]

7-6 Seattle, top 9, 2 out, bases loaded.

 

Giambi strikes out looking on 3 pitches. Game over, win streak over, hopefully, Giambi over.

[mike546 0]

In his case, he had a decent trip. But that AB was pathetic. Honestly, RIGHT DOWN THE GOD DAMN MIDDLE.

[Der Kommissar 0]

I kind of figured that the Yankees would end up blowing the game the second I saw Tom Gordon come in. Thankfully, he didn't let me down. I do have to wonder why they left Giambi in there for the final at-bat though. Tino Martinez has been hot lately, why not take the chance on him in that situation?

That would have basically killed of all confidence Giambi would have. If Tinos a righty yes, but a lefty for a lefty? Bah. Its one game, but its one game the Yankees I swear tried to lose.

 

And its not Tom Gordons fault that a. Womack can't field a ball (which like Al said, he shouldn't play LF anyway) and b. the damn ump can't see Reed came off the bag.

[Der Kommissar 0]

And its not Tom Gordons fault

 

It just seems like almost every time I pay attention to a Yankees game and I see Tom Gordon come in, the Yankees always seem to find a way to blow a game.

 

If Tinos a righty yes, but a lefty for a lefty? Bah.

 

True. I guess I was just greedingly thinking about one of my fantasy teams, since I was fairly certain that the Mariners were going to blow that lead. I am still shocked that they didn't find a way to walk Giambi or something. I am just happy I wont have to see any Yankees vs. A's/Mariners games for awhile.

[Jericholic82 0]

what a way to end a streak, three big errors. How many times do you see a dropped third strike these days? Womack either should go back to 2nd or DH. Oh well I jokingly was hoping for like a 10 game win streak after they lost to the As two weeks ago, and they actually delivered, so no whining here. The Subway Series should prove interesting.

[Guest Mosaicv2]

He would've more interesting if Pedro was pitching in one of the games damnit!

[Guest Mosaicv2]

Well, i'm finding this to be a fun weekend... Mets go to Interleague against the Yanks, baseball returns to FOX (it's because I love how FOX produces baseball games) and I have a chance to see Revenge of the Sith in the theathers.

[Jericholic82 0]

I wont get to actually see any of the games, as my local fox will be showing the classic angels-dodgers matchup (blech)

what the fuck? why? i'll be able to see it. You have really a cheap-ass cable company you know.

I am in so-cal, the Fox here pretty much will black out any other games not involving LA teams.

 

and Yes Adelphia is pretty cheap-ass.

Interleague play bothers me since the Cubs draw the best team in baseball, while the Cards get six with the Royals.

.....sounds fair to me

The Jays called up Aaron Hill now that Koskie's hurt. He's DHing tonight, but I think there's probably a little competition between him and Russ Adams over who's supposed to be the 'shortstop of the future' for the team.

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

Screech just hit his first major league HR.

[mike546 0]

I wonder that all the bad hatred the Yankee players have from Brown is carrying over to this year. The D in his last two starts seriously makes me wonder if they WANT him to lose.
