EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2006 I think most Philly fans are reasonable about the Thome trade. If Thome outproduces Howard you might see some whining, but that happens with any trade. There isn't any backlash visable from where I sit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2006 Oh man, that was a sweet HR by Alex Rios. 6-3 Jays heading to the 9th. Time for our first good look at the $47-million man. EDIT: Oh my God, he's got wicked stuff. He could be our best closer since Duane Ward if he pitches like that all season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NYankees Report post Posted April 5, 2006 Has it been mentioned here that Sabathia is going to be out 3-5 weeks. I wonder how well the Indians play the first month without their top starter. They did get a good job out of Westbrook today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess Pettitte is lonely without his life partner in Clemens being with him. Wow pettitte gave up 13 hits and 10 runs in 4 inning pitched. Not a great start to the 2006 season.

naiwf 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2006 No-mah's already on the 15 day DL. Now that he's started the season in his current form, it begs the question who's the most brittle player in the game these days, Nomar, Beckett, Prior or Wood? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vampiro69 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2006 The reason that the Twins let Ortiz go was that he was not doing anything special. He was barely batting .270 or so and had no signs of the power and clutch hitting that he has now. To the day, I hate David Ortiz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest NYankees Report post Posted April 5, 2006 There's the Yankees of old. 2nd and 3rd no outs and the 3, 4 and 5 hitters all strike out. Harden did a great job by getting out of the jam. The only positive for the Yankees is that he threw like 30 pitches that inning if not more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is the one thing that the Twins are really missing. Imagine a bonifide power hitter playing on that team the past couple of seasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest NYankees Report post Posted April 5, 2006 I heard that he had a pretty bad cut from yesterday. If you want I can find the link to the article. Cano's spikes went right though Crosby's glove like a hot knife cutting through butter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am still sitting here in class... I really cant tell. Sheff and Arod both got a couple of good swings against him and Arod just hit one straight back. Plus he threw over 30 pitches that inning to as the Yankees have some very patient hitters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2006 A's offense better do something tonight. I don't even care if they lose as long as it is something like a 6-5 game, but I can hardly stand to witness the offense be so horrible two nights in a row. Oh how different the past few A's seasons would have been if their bats woke up BEFORE the All-Star break. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
