Guest Teal-y Dan Report post Posted April 17, 2008 So, like, do Yankees and Red Sox fans feel under siege now that people are pointing out that their games are really fucking long? I think I'm the only person who has made any sort of normative statement regarding the ideal length of a baseball game. Everyone else has just mused about this. There are some strange backed-into-a-corner tendencies coming from both sides here. Have your long-ass games, then. With the price of Yankee Stadium and Fenway Park admission, maybe it's for the best. So my latest worry is that the White Sox are for real. I will not be able to bear this if it's true. I cannot, should not, and will not sit through five and a half more months of Nick Swisher yelling PUMP IT UP YEEEEEAAAAAH DUUUUUUDDEEE to anyone who will listen. The synergism of Swisher's own Rowandian obnoxiousness coupled with the White Sox' marketing blitz that they are a blue-collar team for blue-collar people is one that rivals Xanax and booze in its newfound strength.

Hey Czech, just shut up. The White Sox are not for real but just let them enjoy themselves, alright? Even though they have a high payroll, they are definitely much more blue collar than your fuckin' Cubs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are some strange backed-into-a-corner tendencies coming from both sides here. Have your long-ass games, then. With the price of Yankee Stadium and Fenway Park admission, maybe it's for the best. I've certainly made a few points about this. It's one thing for Yankees/Red Sox games, but playoff games involving those teams are way too long as well. If a nine inning game lasts longer than 3 1/2 hours, someone on the field spent time jerking off somewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dandy 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2008 Good to see Griffey is not pulling the ball every time. When he starts hitting to dead centerfield or going opposite field, he really gets better. He gets much better extension on the ball and they have to rethink the shift. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2008 Gavin Floyd's gonna have a Perfect Game tonight vs the Os (so far through 4, and the Os hitters look like little leaguers so far) you heard it here first edit: hometown scoring gives Millar a basehit on what should have been an error on Crede.

devo 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2008 Figureoa turns in an even better start tonight (7 IP, 3 H, 2 BB, 2 ER, 7K), so I guess all that's left is to see is if he can pitch away from Shea Stadium. My money's on no, but hey, we'll see. Unfortunately, he can only get a loss for his efforts, since the Mets made John Lannan look like Cy Young tonight.
