[Guest Edgy DC]

Thanks both. I got impatient and sorted out on my own (previous post).

It's now official: Yanqui pitchers can't pitch bad enough to lose.

I mean, unless you really pull a Tim Redding (and he was never a real
Yankee anyway) and give up 3 touchdowns, merely sucking is good
enough these days.
Brown coughs up 3 in the 1st last night and was winning by top of the
2nd.
I also got a kick out of all the stories in the Sunday papers talking
about what a gutty performance Unit gave the Skanks on Saturday
allowing them to win. His line: 6.1 IP, 4 ER, 8 H, 3 BB
That's about an average Ishii start.

[Guest sharpie]

Ishii would be a great Yankee.

[Guest SI Metman]

so who's going to knock them out in October? Anaheim? Pale Hose? Tony's Cards?

[Guest Willets Point]

The 2005 World Series Champions have seized control of first place in the AL East. The only question left now is cyanide, rope, or gun.

I'd say the (White) Sox are the best shot, going on the beating the Cards took last year. Maybe Mulder will help some?

Kidding right? Maybe I'm a bad fan but I can't see how the Yankees can last long in the post-season with their lousy starting pitching not to mention the lack of a real centerfielder. Don't get me wrong, I love the way they're playing right now and that they're in first but realistically how long is it going to be until the problems catch up with them?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Piazza nails Roberts on a delayed steal when the ball in the dirt kind of just rolls off his leg into his hand.

Great tag by Reyes.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Edgy - wrong thread.

silver - we're working the karma here.

[Guest Edgy DC]

A second walk on Giles and a single by Klesko and it's first and thrid with two outs.

Koo faced three lefties and gave up two walks and a hit to Klesko, who hadn't hit lefties most of his career.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

You're still in the wrong thread.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Um, yeah, well, I could delete all of these posts any time.

I hate this new forum. Have I said that?

[Guest Frayed Knot]

Meanwhile back to the original purpose of this thread:

One night after blowing every single lead and break they could, Texas (and CH Park of all people) held the Yanx scoreless until the 8th.
But of course they pick THIS GAME to get themselves shutout.
Torre now trying to get thru the 8th w/the likes of Wayne Franklin &
Scott Proctor. Rangers are cooperating by having Teixiera hit into GiDP
with 2-on/none out.

I swear the next time that team plays the Yanx hard will be the first.


And as I'm typing this and cursing those M-Fers, Hank Blalock shuts me up w/a 2R HR (picking up Teixiera's mess) and it's 2-1 Texas in the 8th.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I knew it!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Game over. Double happiness for now.

On to San Francisco where Atlanta leads, 2-1.

Good day so far for the division. The Mets, Washington, and Philadelphia have won. Florida and Atlanta are winning.

ROFL - that was great <g>

[Guest metirish]

loved it seawolf, and A-Rod does talk like that..

[Guest metirish]

Vlad the impaler sends the fans home happy with a grannie to beat the MFY's.

[Guest Frayed Knot]

M---er-F---er why does every team turn stoopid when playing the Yanx?

A-Rod should have been thrown out THREE TIMES on his trek around the base but was safe each time due to LAA stupidity and/or incompetence.
Witness:

- he's on 1st after a single

- a Matsui bouncer to 2nd. A-Rod stops so Adam Kennedy has to tag him and won't get the DP ... except Kennedy decides to ignore him and gets the batter instead! Yeah, no reason why you want to keep a runner out of scoring position you dork!

- 2 pitches later, catcher Molina then pegs a pick-off throw down to 2nd which has him dead by 2 feet ... except the SS completely whiffs on the throw allowing it to go into CF

- the CF picks up the ball and fires it to 3rd as Alex tries to advance, the throw gets there just in time for the 3rd sacker ... to miss the freakin tag!!

He then scored on a 60 ft ground out.



Leiter, meantime, doesn't look nearly as sharp as his first outing ... but it would be a lot worse if the freakin' ump didn't call an Angel hit down the 3rd base line foul when it clearly not only hit the line but did so right at his freakin' feet!! Oh yeah, there were 2 on at the time.


Good thing I'm not bitter though huh?

[Guest OlerudOwned]

I cant wait to see Kevin Brown face Vlad

[Guest Elster88]

Giambi has 16 homers, his average is about .285, and his OBP is around .413.

Dammit.

Streaking Giambi Suspended for Blatant Use of Undetectable Steroids

On the heels of hitting his fifth homer in six games and seeing his average spike to .278 before the All-Star break, Yankees first baseman Jason Giambi was suspended today by baseball for violating the league�s drug policy.

�Everyone knows that Jason Giambi is a terrible player without the use of steroids. He�s proven that over the past two years,� said commissioner Bud Selig. �That�s why his sudden resurgence in the past month proves that he�s back on the juice. He hasn�t tested positive, but all that means is that he�s obviously using some new strain of steroids that doesn�t show up on drug tests that BALCO has developed.�

Giambi claims he is innocent and says he will file a grievance with the players� union to fight the suspension. But players union chief Donald Fehr said he doesn�t think the union will be throwing it�s support behind Giambi.

�There is still a huge cloud of doubt over our players and I don�t think make a huge, public appeal for the biggest steroids user of them all really helps our cause,� said Fehr. �Plus, lets be reasonable here � it�s very clear Giambi is back on �roids. Five home runs in six games for Jason Giambi of all people? I could see him striking out five times in six at-bats, or maybe hitting five home runs in six months, but anything better than that is extremely suspicious. That guy blows.�

Under major league baseball�s new steroids policy, Giambi is suspended for 10 days without pay. He will be able to return to the Yankees lineup on July 23rd. A second violation would mean a 30-day suspension, a third would bring 60 days and a fourth would ban him from the game for a year.

Selig said he will be quick to suspend Giambi again if his use of undetectable steroids continues upon his return.

�If his batting average goes a single point higher or if he hits more than one or two home runs a month he�s going to get suspended again for violating the drug policy. It�s that simple,� said Selig. �I�m not going to let a no-talent schlub like Giambi make a mockery of our game by putting up somewhat respectable numbers.�

Yankees manager Joe Torre said he saw this coming.

�With the first home run I was happy for him. And the second one I thought that maybe he just got lucky again,� said Torre. �But when he hit the third one I looked at [pitching coach] Mel [Stottlemyre], rolled my eyes and said: �Here we go again.� And then he kept hitting them. I mean jeez, Jason, if you�re going to cheat at least try to be somewhat subtle about it. Jason Giambi not embarrassing himself on a baseball field is no less damning evidence that he�s on steroids than it would be if he went up to bat with a needle sticking out of his butt.�

Anaheim, going for the sweep, leads 1-0 in the 3rd. Michael Kay just gave us a detailed account of Juan Rivera's stint with the Yankees being cut short when he stole Derek Jeter's glove. The team meeting, the conflict Mariano must have felt over his cousin, Kay relayed the story as if it happened yesterday. When Rivera grounded into a double play started by Jeter, Kay quipped that Jeter had "extracted a measure of revenge."

Of course, Juan Rivera never played for the Yankees...and never stole Derek Jeter's glove. The glove thief was Ruben Rivera...which Kay acknowledged about five minutes later (presumably after someone pointed out this egregious mistake).

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Classic. Kay just called the inning-ending DP Gay-rod this way:

Fly ball to right, it will score the tying run. Here comes Cano, here comes Rivera's throw ... and he's out! Inning over.

[Guest Frayed Knot]

My god the Twins suck!

Leiter's faced 26 batters tonight, has allowed exactly half of them to reach base ... and still he's through 5 innings down only 1-zip. They've left the bags loaded (twice) had a runner thrown out at the plate, had 1st & 2nd no one out and not scored, yyybbb.

Fortunately it's Santana against him for the Twinkies (not that he's been great shakes this year) or this would be a typical Yanqui blowout by now.

[Guest seawolf17]

That's what Leiter did all year last year... wow, those were frustrating times.

[Guest cooby]

Disgusting, isn't it? He's like a friggin eel

That plus half his pitches have been balls, so he's got tons of walks


Here we go: 97 pitches: 53 balls 44 strikes

[Guest metirish]

And Paul O Neill is a dick, during the second inning after YES showed a clip on Joe DiMaggio's last WS verus the NY Giants O'Neill said something like this...

]Mike you grew up here and Kitty you played here,I've all ways felt that NY is a yankee city, yeah I know they Mets have some fans but was it like that back in the days when they(giants) were playing here,were the Giants treated then like the Mets are now towards the yankees

To be fair to Katt and Kay they said what needed to be said,katt basically said that "well the Mets have lots of fans and a lot of them would have been former Dodger and Giants fans"

Kay..." Paul it's also cyclical because in the 80's NYC was a Mets town, they drew over 3 million fans in 86"

O'Neill " yeah I played against them back then, but it didn't have the same electricity as yankee stadium"


I hate O'Neill
