This Week(end) in Baseball

[EVIL~! alkeiper]

You beat on Tim Redding and Darrell May..I don't think this affects us taking the division.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Do you guys honestly have better pitchers?

[Brett Favre]

Yes we do. They aren't going to pitch again.

[EVIL~! alkeiper]

Yes we do. They aren't going to pitch again.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Then I would say this DOES effect the Yankees' chance at winning the division.

[Brett Favre]

What? I don't get you.

[Boon]

I just can't wait to see who they bring up to pitch Sunday.

 

Haha, this is great.

[KingPK]

Who can say that Burnett won't falter as well? How many starters obtained at the deadline lately have really made a huge difference to their teams?

 

I mean, Jeff Suppan anyone? There's the whole "moving from the NL to AL" part as well.

[Brett Favre]

We're getting Burnett? That'd be great.

 

He's not like Suppan though. Two totally different pitchers. One difference, Burnett is ten times better.

[EVIL~! alkeiper]

What? I don't get you.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

You said that the Sox beating on Redding and May doesn't effect the Yankees' chances at the beginning. It does if they can't find SOMEONE who can pitch well enough to keep the Yankees in the game.

[KingPK]

And we WILL probably see them again if Wang is done for the year, they don't get Burnett and Wright, Pavano and Brown aren't 100% anytime soon.

[devo]

Mets lose to a bad hop.

 

God am I pissed.

[Brett Favre]

What? I don't get you.

All i'm saying is, they aren't going to pitch again, and by the time they come back to that spot of the rotation, we'll probably have a solid enough pitcher by then to keep us in the game. The Red Sox haven't proved anything by beating on spot starters.

 

Brown is going to be healthy soon. As soon as next week.

[KingPK]

And Red Sox Nation trembles in fear at the notion of the return of Kevin Brown. After all, he was SO effective in last year's ALCS.

[EVIL~! alkeiper]

Let's see the Yankees' depth chart...

 

1. Randy Johnson

2. Mike Mussina

3. Carl Pavano (DL)

4. Kevin Brown (DL)

5. Chien Ming Wang (DL)

6. Jaret Wright (DL)

7. Darrell May

8. Tim Redding

9. Tanyon Sturtze

10. Alex Graman

 

Scary.

[Brett Favre]

And we tremble at your pitching staff. Isn't Arroyo your 2nd or 3rd best starter? And isn't your clo..well you don't have a closer.

 

With the way you guys are speaking, its as if the Red Sox are up 10 games. With our broken down pitching staff (that will be addressed by the deadline, and some starters returning), we're still only 2 1/2 behind.

[Bored]

And it's times like these I wonder why there isn't a seperate thread for Yankees-Red Sox crap.

[the max]

Why not post something to generate conversation instead of fucking complaining all the time?

[KingPK]

Oh yeah, before I forget.

 

*Bragging mode on*

 

I found a site devoted to baseball history that Al HASN'T bookmarked yet.

Go me.

 

*Bragging mode off*

[Guest Fishyswa]

Sorry but all the talk about how much the Yankee's suck doesn't do much considering they're only 2 1/5 back. We've had the same problems all year, if we're that close I really don't see why we should get sad now.

 

Some of you just loathe optimism don't you?

[Fökai]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Coming from a Yankee fan, on this specific message board, that's hilarious.

[EVIL~! alkeiper]

As a Phillies' fan, I don't know what optimism is.

[KingPK]

The Yankees message board on ESPN.com is always good for a chuckle after games like these. Actually, so is the Red Sox one after tough losses. Especially the guy that said the Red Sox were just padding their stats. What, you want them to bunt for the rest of the game?

[strummer]

I blame the Mets offense more, who did NOTHING of Smoltz after the Wright HR. The Mets can't go on long runs because they just can't score enough. With Hudson and Hampton going the next 2 days, I don't see any changes

[devo]

Agreed. The Mets have been one of the least clutch teams in the Majors this year, and tonight was no different.

 

Then again, the Braves missed out on quite a few chances to score as well. The game came down to which team got the unlucky break first.

[Matt Young]

I just caught the last inning of the Milwaukee/Washington game. That's the first time in my 10 or so years of watching baseball that I have seen a game end with a run being driven in via a balk, or as the announcers called it, a "balk-off" (walk-off balk).

[Guest Fishyswa]

"Especially the guy that said the Red Sox were just padding their stats. What, you want them to bunt for the rest of the game?"

 

I hate that mentality, if you score 9 runs in the first 3 innings you should play hard enough to end up with 27.

[Guest Fishyswa]

Congrats Palmiero. I remember all the talk when he was chasing 500 about how it shouldn't be enough for the HOF, and now I don't think you could find one person who'd argue against him being in it.

[Bored]

So after Rich Harden's near perfect game last night, Barry Zito has a no-hitter thru six tonight.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Even on the West Coast, with three different Fox Sports channels, I have to wait until ESPN brings the coverage of said game.

 

What the fuck.

[Bored]

Now thru seven, Dan Johnson makes a sliding grab in foul territory and Mark Kotsay a nice running catch to keep it going.

[Brett Favre]

Their defense is making all the stops tonight. Better hope ESPN doesn't show this; if they haven't already.
