mike546 Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 Better than having to watch that 19-11 Yanks/Devil Rays game over and over again.
Dobbs 3K Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 Brewers beat the Phillies, 3-2. Turnbow gets the win. Bill Hall makes a big defensive play to end the top of the 9th, after moving to shortstop from CF (JJ Hardy apparently got hurt), then ends up scoring the winning run after smashing a double. Is there anything this guy can't do?
CanadianChris Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 Well, if the Blue Jays are on a 2-game winning streak, that must mean it's time for a loss. 3-0 Angels after 3, and Glaus is hurt.
Bruiser Chong Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 Phils lose thanks to Ryan Franklin's throwing error. Which raises the question: why was a mop-up man pitching with the game on the line?
Bruiser Chong Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 I didn't notice five of the eight runs Felix Hernandez has given up tonight were unearned thanks to Adrian Beltre's error. That's seven on the season by the way, just four less than his RBI count. That contract's turning out to be the hitter's version of that five-year deal the Rangers gave Park.
Hawk 34 Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 Phils lose thanks to Ryan Franklin's throwing error. Which raises the question: why was a mop-up man pitching with the game on the line? Maybe they thought if they baffled the other team, he'd get lucky and pull it off?
vivalaultra Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 Damn, the 'Stros got thumped again, but at least the Reds and Cards didn't win, so the lose doesn't matter and Russ Springer totally hit Barroid. It was great. He did the same thing a couple years ago in San Fran. Russ Springer-a real man's man. It was made even better because Barry had that stupid smug ass smile on his face as he admired his deep flyout to Jason Lane. I also learned an interesting factoid tonite. On this date in 1902, there was the first game played with opposing deaf/mute starting pitchers. Both were nicknamed "Dummy". I must say that I don't condone plunking any hitters, except Bonds... 1. Because he's a smug bastard 2. He crowds the plate and wears body armor 3. When he does get hit, he gets all pissy and stuff. Biggio's gotten hit upwards of 300 times and never charged the mound. If you crowd the plate, you shouldn't complain about getting hit every now and again.
Bored Posted May 17, 2006 Author Report Posted May 17, 2006 I didn't notice five of the eight runs Felix Hernandez has given up tonight were unearned thanks to Adrian Beltre's error. That's seven on the season by the way, just four less than his RBI count. That contract's turning out to be the hitter's version of that five-year deal the Rangers gave Park. It was a tough hop but he Buckner'd it pretty good. Hernandez has been awful though even if he should have been out of the inning as he gave up the granny to Melhuse. Swisher took him deep last inning for his 13th. 10-1 now after a two rbi single by Kendall. Hernandez is pulled.
naiwf Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 The Mets need to learn how to work the rain out. They couldn't stall long enough to avoid an official game in a Steve Trachsel start against Philly, and tonight all they needed to do was make a quick out, and get 3 outs before the heavens erupted to beat the Cards. Instead they tried to tack on runs, leading to what will likely end up being a suspended game where they'll have to get 9 outs to close the deal, and Pujols will get at least 1 AB in that scenario whereas he would have been the 5th man to bat in the bottom of the 7th. Again, I blame Willie Randolph.
Guest NYankees Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 Fuck you Otsuka. Fuck you twice Posada. If you are a Mets fan why are you so concerned about what the Yankees to do when they are playing teams other than the one you root for? Jesus you are worse than most Red Sox fans.

If you are a Mets fan why are you so concerned about what the Yankees to do when they are playing teams other than the one you root for? Jesus you are worse than most Red Sox fans. Because I hate the Yankees and their fans, and the Mets were (and are still) in a rain delay.

Because I hate the Yankees and their fans, and the Mets were (and are still) in a rain delay. I think it's kind of pathetic that you get so worked up over a game that has zero implication on the Mets. The only reason why you hate the Yankees is because you wish the Mets were just like them in every aspect so that just makes you a jealous hater. In fact, I root for the Mets. I would love to see another Subway Series.
Guest NYankees Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 I blame it on the umpires. I thought you were going to blame it on the Cubs AA offense.

The only reason why you hate the Yankees is because you wish the Mets were just like them in every aspect so that just makes you a jealous hater. In fact, I root for the Mets. I would love to see another Subway Series. I didn't realize I got "worked up" over that game. I don't get "worked up" over any game because I have no impact on them. If you meant that I'm a jealous hater because I wish the Mets had millions of poser fans who claim they are "lifelong fans" but can't name 5 starters on the CURRENT Yankees team, nor have they ever been to Yankee Stadium to watch a game, then yeah I'm really fucking jealous. I mean, I'd love to have an organization with at least 70% bandwagon fans who were Mets fans back in the '80s, or only like the team because Derek Jeter is SOOOOOOOO CUTE!, and would be Mets "fans" if they won a couple of championships (which admittedly won't ever happen). Sign me up! Seriously, it's asinine comments like yours that make me root against the Yankees because all of their fans are spoiled, and feel just as entitled as you do. At least the Cubs fan suffers for his love and I can respect that.
naiwf Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 It's just Anglesault, naiwf. My bad. The Mets game is back on now after an hour and 41 minute rain delay. I predict Pujols will win it for the Cards just to spite me.
KingPK Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 It's just Anglesault, naiwf. AS was a little more articulate, I think. Let's do the "Anglesault Recognition Test". Hey NYYankees, what are your thoughts on Jeff Weaver?
naiwf Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 Pujols just busted his ass slipping on the on deck circle trying to catch a foul pop. That reminded me of when I fell and fractured my skull as a 3 year old kid. Ugh. He's OK though.
devo Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 Mets score four in the top of the 8th, and Sanchez returns to his dominant ways in relief in the bottom of the inning. 8-3 Mets going into the ninth. Now for the bad news. http://newyork.mets.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/new...t=.jsp&c_id=nym Despite Bannister being ready, both Lima and Gonzalez are going to make another start each. How many games do these bums have to lose before management realizes they're worthless?
Bruiser Chong Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 I blame it on the umpires. I thought you were going to blame it on the Cubs AA offense. That doesn't even make sense, but thank you for playing. The only reason why you hate the Yankees is because you wish the Mets were just like them in every aspect so that just makes you a jealous hater. Yeah, I'm sure he pines - yes, that's right, pines - for Yankees pitching staff. I don't think this guy's AS. AS was a rage-aholic, but his maturity level was higher than a fourth-grader's.
Guest Felonies! Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 Also, Anglesault was much more articulate. I think NYankees is TheDon, he of "Dont you ever dare put me down Slayer, who the hell are you to make fun of me" fame.

I think NYankees is TheDon, he of "Dont you ever dare put me down Slayer, who the hell are you to make fun of me" fame. Exactly what I was thinking. Besides, didn't Anglesault come back as Dam(o)n Yankees?
Dobbs 3K Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 Damn, the 'Stros got thumped again, but at least the Reds and Cards didn't win, so the lose doesn't matter and Russ Springer totally hit Barroid. It was great. He did the same thing a couple years ago in San Fran. Russ Springer-a real man's man. It was made even better because Barry had that stupid smug ass smile on his face as he admired his deep flyout to Jason Lane. I also learned an interesting factoid tonite.

If you crowd the plate, you shouldn't complain about getting hit every now and again. I couldn't agree more. If you crowd the plate, how can you complain about getting hit by an inside pitch every now and then? Frankly, he shouldn't be allowed to wear all that "armor" either.
Spaceman Spiff Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 Whassup w/ Jimmy Rollins? He finally developed into a leadoff hitter towards the end of last year, but he seems to have taken several steps back this year. His OBP is only 4 points higher than Sal Fasano's (.306 to .302) and 7 points lower than David Bell's (.313 to .306). He only has 13 walks.
Cuban Linx Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 Figures once the Rangers offence puts up a big score the pitching decides to totally fall to shit as well, i guess the rest of the bullpen didn't want to leave Francisco Cordero alone when it comes to blowing leads. If nothing else hopefully going 4/5 with 2 doubles and 3 RBI's can get Mark Teixeira really kickstarted, as far as elite-level players go he's probably been the quietest so far.
The Man in Blak Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 Damn, the 'Stros got thumped again, but at least the Reds and Cards didn't win, so the lose doesn't matter and Russ Springer totally hit Barroid.

If you crowd the plate, how can you complain about getting hit by an inside pitch every now and then? Frankly, he shouldn't be allowed to wear all that "armor" either. Well, the funny thing about it is that the armor is actually illegal, per MLB batting equipment regulations, but MLB "grandfathered" it for a select few players at the time, including (obviously) Barry Bonds. Bonds wore the armor for a forearm injury years ago, but because he was wearing it for injury at the time that the ruling came down, he was able to wear it even after the restrictions took hold. Bonds isn't the only player who benefitted from this - I believe Mo Vaughn was another player who wore that armor for injury - but I think Bonds is the last one left playing in the big leagues. Personally, I think more pitchers should drill him, if only because so many of them intend on walking him anyway. Since Barry wants to hover over the plate, throw one at his legs. Let him take first base with one pitch and protect the plate.
Guest NYankees Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 It's just Anglesault, naiwf. I am not Anglesault. Did you see me come on here and bitch when the Yankees were down 9-0. ummmm NO. Don't make me go to the pictures of your significant other and laugh at the photo of you and your wife.

Seriously you are trolling. You must be a pretty big man I mean loser to talk trash on an internet message board. It must be that loser complex you have for rooting for the Cubs. It's funny how I get called out for bitching about the Umpiring the other night but you constantly troll and bitch about the Cubs.
