Guest Princess Leena Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 They're also not on pace to reach 120 wins like they are in my MVP '04 game. And A-Rod isn't on pace to hit 100 HR's. And Jeter isn't whining because he's benched every game.
Guest Sylvan Grenier Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 Man, Cubs were fucking impotent tonight. Blooper-reel calibre fielding + poor discretion w/r/t base-stealing did them in. I don't care how fast Lee/Pagan/Pierre/Bynum/Hairston is, I don't see the point in jeopardizing a baserunner and an out in the early innings of a game. It better be a very crucial, late-in-the-game, come-from-behind situation, which "down by 2 in the 5th" probably isn't. If we didn't need Bynum so badly due to the Spinal Tap Drummer Syndrome of our right field, he should be benched for dogging it on that Craig Wilson triple. One last edit: Jerome Williams is a fat sack of crap.
Guest Smues Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 What is w/r/t base stealing. My guess is either With regard to or white red teal. I'm thinking probably the former.
Guest Smues Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 Smoltz throws a 4-hit shutout and Atlanta beats the Padres 2-0. Great job from John but, as seems to be a daily occurance with Atlanta, someone got injured. In this case it was Renteria. I swear we can't get a win without someone going down.
Guest Smues Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 OMG Barry Bonds went 1-3 with a double that led to nothing. THIS IS OF SUCH IMPORTANCE THAT WE MUST LEAD OFF SPORTS CENTER WITH IT AND THEN GO INTO MORE DEPTH TALKING ABOUT IT AFTER THE HIGHLIGHT PACKAGE!
Bruiser Chong Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 They seriously covered that? I was watching the last couple innings. That double came in the ninth with him leading off. The importance of that had ceased to exist when the Dodgers had tacked on the third run in the bottom of the 8th, meaning Barry would no longer represent the tying run. Stupid ESPN.
Bruiser Chong Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 I don't care how fast Lee/Pagan/Pierre/Bynum/Hairston is Speed's pretty pointless when you don't get on base. I agree that if you do, it puts more pressure on the defense, but I'll take a team with a high OBP and no speed over a bunch of guys who rely on scratching out infield hits each time up.
naiwf Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 The Yankees are 5-6, below .500. Turn that frown upside down. It's a glorious day when Mo blows a save
Guest NYankees Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 The Yankees are 5-6, below .500. Turn that frown upside down. It's a glorious day when Mo blows a save It's not a blown save when the Umps screw you on the first two batters, .
Guest Smues Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 While Atlanta is in the process of blowing this game a fan reached over the wall and caused a groundrule double. It's probably a double anyway, and it certainly isn't the fans fault if we lose this game, but I fucking hate fans who interfer with the ball in play. And it wasn't like the ball came into the seats and he just reached at a ball coming at him, he reached over the wall and practically had his hand on the ground. He should be ejected but I'm sure that won't happen.
Guest Princess Leena Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 The Yankees are 5-6, below .500. Turn that frown upside down. It's a glorious day when Mo blows a save Is Mo hated in New York, too?
Guest Smues Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 And Atlanta loses 4-3. That one stung. But huzzah Andruw getting homerun #4.
Bruiser Chong Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 That error by Hanley Ramirez may have been one of the worst I've seen in this young season. How do you miss a throw that badly with that much time?
naiwf Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 The Yankees are 5-6, below .500. Turn that frown upside down. It's a glorious day when Mo blows a save Is Mo hated in New York, too? Nah, even Mets fans respect him. It's kind of like a Federer loss where you're just surprised to see it happen since it's so rare. Mo blowing that save made up for the Mets getting curbstomped by the Brew Crew yesterday. It's nice to still not have a losing streak this "late" in the season after last year's start. The citywide wailing and gnashing of teeth will began WHEN, not if, we lose our first series to the Braves though, so I'm just enjoying the ride.
devo Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 God damn, how good is Albert Pujols? Three home runs today, the last of which won the game for the Cardinals. Simply amazing.
Bruiser Chong Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 God damn, how good is Albert Pujols? Three home runs today, the last of which won the game for the Cardinals. Simply amazing. I came here to post almost the exact same thing. As soon as Marquis singled, I figured it was over. Pujols is just too good not to come through against a guy like Weathers. Gotta wonder what the team would be like with him down for any stretch of time.
MikeJordan23 Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 I Love Pujols. Seriously. I can't put into words how good he is.
Bruiser Chong Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 P.S. on ESPN News, they teased highlights of the Mets/Brewers as a "possible playoff preview." How many of us are aware that it's April?

But then again they came back in 1996 during the playoffs and World Series for the Yankees.
Spaceman Spiff Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 Phils pick up a rare 1-0 win in Colorado. HR by Ryan Howard provides the only run of the game.
Guest NYankees Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 The Giambino just hit an upper deck shot for his second homerun of the game.
Guest Smues Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 Quick send him to AAA he's clearly washed up.
2GOLD Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 P.S. on ESPN News, they teased highlights of the Mets/Brewers as a "possible playoff preview." How many of us are aware that it's April? Apparently not many of us since we are all talking like it's the end of the world and how much players are sucking just two weeks in. Not to mention the pointless discussion about the number of homeruns that are being hit. The only difference is most of us aren't thinking about division titles and playoff runs yet. Cept us Orioles fans cause we are well aware we won't be in it later. Might as well enjoy it now.
Dobbs 3K Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 P.S. on ESPN News, they teased highlights of the Mets/Brewers as a "possible playoff preview." How many of us are aware that it's April? Hey, it could happen. Too bad the Brewers got knocked around pretty bad today
Guest Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 The only thing that seems to be certain thus far is that Scott Podsednik sucks.
mike546 Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 Yankees about to win their six game, which means they'll be 0-5 in games in which they haven't scored 9 runs. Not sure if thats a good or bad thing.
Bruiser Chong Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 Probably a bad thing. Not likely they'll be able to put up nine spots against contending teams regularly.
Guest NYankees Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 Damn Arod just missed another 2 run homerun by a foot. Damn baggie.
