8 2/3 ?! Are you kidding me?

ESPN will never learn

 

The curse of the cut in continues

Either that or getting a no-hitter is just really difficult.

[Cheech Tremendous 0]

Don't you know that in the days before televison, every game was a no hitter.

Nah it's ESPN

 

Seriously this is like the fifth time ESPN cuts in to a guy pitching a no-hitter, and no matter what what inning it is someone gets a hit.

You know, even if Lugo doesn't make that error, that doesn't automatically mean Schilling would've got the perfect game. People try to use this logic all the time in sports but odds are that logic would fail more often than not.

Don't the Yanks still have Andy Phillips at Triple A? Why are they using Cairo at first when they can call up Phillips? He's even a better option than Phelps at this point.

[Spaceman Spiff 0]

Hey, remember when Pat Burrell used to kill the Mets? Gets lucky on what should've been a called strike 3, then takes Billy Wagner deep on the next pitch to tie the game at 3 in the 9th.

Finally purchased an MLB TV subscription today and am currently watching Yanks-White Sox.

 

White Sox just can't get any offense going to help out Contreras at all as we head into the bottom of the 7th. Only one runner in scoring position at all and that was with a Jim Thome double in the fourth inning. Yanks currently lead 1-0.

I'm sure it will be Shea Hillenbrand in a week once the Angels get around to DFAing him.

Ozzie Guillen, Kenny Williams and Joey Cora sure are offensive geniuses!

 

SMARTBALL~!!

I just realized Rodrigo Lopez will pitch for the Rockies on Saturday vs the Os.

 

OOH

[World's Worst Man 0]

He'll give up 8 ER over 1 1/3 IP, so you're all set.

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

This is only his 3rd start since he went on the DL early in the season though his 2 starts off the DL have been much worse than before he went on the DL..

 

Id take him back in the rotation now in a heartbeat in Burres' spot since Burres being in the rotation has screwed the bullpen up the most by robbing it of a long reliever.

I can't stand Phillips so I'm glad they are sticking with Phelps who at least has a bat but no glove. Phillips might have a decent glove sometimes but he makes errors on easy plays as well and well he has no bat at all.

Alex Rodriguez.

Wow, what a collapse by the White Sox bullpen in the ninth inning to give up any chance to tieing up what was a 4-3 game. That top of the ninth took forever to play with Ryan Bukvich capping it off by coming in with the bases loaded and on his SECOND PITCH giving up a grand slam to A-Rod. Pretty funny to see all the Sox fans just get up in mass and start heading for the exit after that one. Bukvich then proceeded to give up two more runs on a Cano triple which scored Matsui (who was walked) and then Cano scored on a error by Uribe to first. I was just laughing at that last bit which gave the Yanks ten runs.

 

What made it all the more ridiculous is that Mariano Rivera came in at the end of the eighth inning to get the second and third outs of the game so he got a SAVE out of a 10-3 game.

 

Definitely one of the weirder games I've ever seen as the White Sox just could not get it together all night offensively, because even in the seventh inning when Konerko singled in Thome they stranded men on first and second with no outs, and even defensively with three errors.

THE ALMIGHTY GOD, UNQUESTIONED LORD AND MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE AS WE KNOW IT, AND CLUTCHIEST MAJOR LEAGUE PITCHER TO EVER WALK THE PLANET is starting Saturday for the Yankees, so expect a perfect game, 81 pitch performance. His fielders are gonna borrow the Roger Go-Home Clause for the day, because he won't need them. Oh my good...goodness gracious! Rawgah Clemens Rawket relawnch FTW

[Bored 0]

Aww on a Saturday no less when ESPN can't pick up the game because of FOX's exclusive rights.

[TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe 0]

Actually it's a 1pm YES game. And they've been pimping the guy hard. They've already done two 'Roger Clemens nights' on YES when the Yanks were off. Though ESPN had their mitts all over the game he was supposed to start on Monday.

I gotta figure out how to make "Oh my good...goodness gracious" my ringtone. It just gets funnier and funnier each time. A 120 on the Unintentional Comedy Scale.

 

In other news, Shannon Stewart can eat a bag of dicks.

[TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe 0]

Shannon Stewart rules.

 

Almost as good as Ben Davis bunting for a base hit, breaking up a perfecto he had going with 'Zona. OMG BUSH LEAGUE

For anyone who hasn't heard it- oh my good...goodness gracious!

[Danville_Wrestling 0]

My goodness gracious...that's really tough on my ears.

[TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe 0]

The eyes too ...and she's not this good looking.

 

According to wikipedia, she signed to announce the Yankees on the radio till 2011....won't somebody please think of the children?

[Richard 0]

This season has been ridiculous in terms of 5+ run comebacks in the 9th.

 

The Padres came pretty close tonight. They were down 5-1 and scored 5 in the ninth to win. Only 1 out too.

[Spaceman Spiff 0]

I wouldn't be surprised if Paul Lo Duca gets thrown at the next time the Phillies & Mets play after that bat flip he did last night after his HR.

[C Dubya 04 0]

Billy Wagner blowing a save against the Phils!

 

Couldn't have happened to a nicer douchebag.

Lance Berkman has reportedly been suspended for two games for his tirade the other night. Suspension will begin tonight if not appealed.

[vivalaultra 0]

Pfft. He shouldn't be suspended at all. It's not like he kicked Mark Wegner or anything. Yeah, he'll probably appeal it. I'm just glad it wasn't for more games; it looks like Berkman's starting to heat up a bit.
