MFY/Tigers Series

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Michael Kay had decided that Mussina is the real choker.

Let the fingerpointing continue.

Has Moose EVER come up big for them in the postseason?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

The concept of coming up big is, I guess, big, but the concept of not coming up big... let's say, limiting a 95-win team to 4 runs ... is not some kind of awesome failure that assures that one is incapable of big-ness.

It's all overblown and unfair, though if it distracts, divides or undermines the MFYs, then I'm cool with it.

[metirish]

Very true Dickshot, I asked because the last few days I read that Mosse needs to "come up big" for the MFY's,like A-Rod needs too.

[metirish]

A-Rod against Rogers....

10 hits in 19 at-bats, with five homers and five walks.

I bet there's a strikeout or two in there as well.

What a loser that K-Rod is!

[metirish]

Two K's.....

[Willets Point]

I'd love to see A-Rod go 4 for 4 tomorrow while the rest of his teammates are hitless. It would be especially delicious if Rodriguez got himself to 3d base with no outs and the Yankees fail to score.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

You know, as much as the bashing of Rodriguez is unfair, I can't say it bothers me. There ought to be a price to pay for willingly becoming a Yankee, and I don't mind seeing him pay it.

I like that Willets, A-Rod has a huge night and they still lose..

[Willets Point]

Just to see the Yankee fans/media twisting in the wind to try to rationalize it would be worth it.

[metirish]

Yeah no doubt it would like this....

"A-Rod comes up big on the wrong night"

[dinosaur jesus]

If ARod got four hits and no one else got any, it would just prove how selfish he was. Not a team player.

[Guest Edgy DC]

How did he not make the All-Star team in 1999?

Oh, right, Torre.

Game 7 ALCS 2003

He was pitching in the "Jeter Flip" game

[Valadius]

I thought that was the "Aaron Boone" game.

At this point I think its more wanting a "Magic Moment" we are beyond a 4 for 5 with 2 HRs and 7 RBIs, especially when "everyone else is hitting" I think we are now at the point where "coming up big" is now re-defined as the moment everyone will remeber rather than being part of an onslaught or doing something on someoneles "undercard" if you will.

Q:
Where are the two best places to look for ancient lefties tonight?

[Valadius]

Is Derek Jeter on crack? He was looking at his bat, smiling all weird and talking to it.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Nice Carnac.

There's the Bobby Abreu we all know and love, tentatively approaching a catchable fly ball for a single. I'm xcited about the Tigers chances tonight.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

ARod can't even get a call! He's schleprock

[Valadius]

Day-twah up 1-0.

[Valadius]

Now up 3-0!!!

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Oh, baby I love it!

Granderson picked off first but steals 2nd anyway on a bad Giambi throw, scores on a 2-out single.

3-0 thru 2.

This is when I'd like to have a machine and make it the 9th.

[Valadius]

Ernie Harwell in the booth!

[Guest KC]

If Cano stuck with the tag instead of eyeballin to the ump he may have
caught him the second time as the runner came off the bag. Little things.

Same with Arod, nearly, though he fell in the other direction and seemed to me to have had tagged him out. Bad call that was.Too bad for Arod.

I never really listened to him before.
I now feel I missed a lot.
He is a good listen. You can tell his radio days - he gives score and hitter updates frequently. You couldn't ask for more.
And he was right when he asked if Joe Morgan had seen Steve Dalkowski.

We should all have his mental faculties at his age.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

MK just asked -

]Is it just me, or have the ESPN announcers been bribed by the Yankees?

[Guest KC]

Nice treat listening to Mr. Harwell.
