MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2006 The sad fact is, the Os will probably lose this game cause they couldn't hit lefthanded pitching to save their lives..but look at this Yankee lineup: Damon Cabrera Jeter Posada Williams Phillips Cano Cairo Thompson uh..yeah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naiwf 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2006 Even with most of their starting lineup out (1 first ballot HOFer, a guy who may get in especially if he hits 500 HRs, a former MVP, and a guy who is good for 100 RBI every year) they still have one surefire HOFer, and 3 other multiple time allstars in the mix. That's why people hate the Yanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mike546 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2006 All these injuries have actually helped in a way, as this team is a LOT less relient on HRs, and more on singles and doubles and moving runners over. I'm not saying they are a "small ball" team, their just a lot less relient on HRs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2006 The Os sure are putting their speed to good use so far this year between Roberts and Patterson.. Tejada just knocked in Roberts to tie the game up..and then Hernandez makes it 3-1 with a 2 run HR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naiwf 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2006 I know we discussed this within the last month or so, but I'm more confident than ever that the Big Eunuch will not win 300 games. He's been horrendous all year and is lucky to have a couple of the wins he does simply because the Yanks scored 6+ runs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2006 Randy Johnson manhandled the Os earlier in the year back at Yankee Stadium..which is why I wasn't too optimistic about todays game, but so far so good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
strummer 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2006 I've noticed the YES announcers have become very snappy and short when defending the Yankees in the past week or so (more so than usual). George must have sent a memo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naiwf 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2006 Pujols hurt an oblique muscle, and Cardinals Nation is sending up prayers that he's not going to be out for a while. You might be able to replace Edmonds or Rolen, but without Albert they'll be as offensively successful as the Cubbies without D. Lee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Man in Blak 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2006 Word is that Pujols felt a "pop" in that oblique. That can't be good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naiwf 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2006 Fucking El Duque gives up an RBI triple to Pedro Feliz with slothlike Barry Bonds on first, and a 2 run HR to a rookie making his debut to give San Fran a 5-4 lead. Willie of course left him in too long to "save the bullpen". There's no way the Mets will do any damage in September and beyond with this testicle managing the club.

The Man in Blak 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2006 And Mulder hits Pierre with a 54 mph curveball that just seemed to die in midair. Quite possibly the most pathetic HBP I've ever seen, and it loads the bases for Chicago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the max 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2006 I think a cartoon rain cloud is following the Red Sox. They are the kings of the rainout. I hope they call this game, as there's a 1p start tomorrow and starting the game at ~830 could result in the game ending pretty late. Play two tomorrow.

naiwf 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2006 The Mets blew another lead, and a chance to get two men into scoring position as they do not score with 1st and 2nd and 1 out in the 9th against Fire Marshall Benitez. These dudes have no fundamentals whatsoever. I imagine this is what it's like being a Cubs fan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

naiwf 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2006 El Duque should never have been left in to pitch the 6th. They deserved to lose. You're preaching to the choir. Willie's a douche when it comes to trying to steal innings from guys with nothing left. All he ends up doing is stealing losses. What difference does it make if the pen has to go 3 or 4 as long as you get the 'W'? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2006 The Yankees need to stop worrying about going after starters at the trade deadline, and start thinking about relievers. Proctor blew another two-run lead in the bottom of the 8th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
