If anyone thought the Mariano thing was overblown, just wait until Aug, Sept, and perhaps postseason and it's gonna get unbearable. I have a dream... the Yankees missing the playoffs by 1 game, Derek Jeter striking out to end their season and his career.
  3. Abery looked afraid of the where the wall was on the Stanton HR and on that double in the corner, but that's his M.O. to begin with so Its hard to know if I would even be thinking that with a guy who didn't carry t h w reputation.

In it they were giving the upcoming schedule of Jeterian "lasts" (cuz, you know, it's all about him): last home game, last game in his native state of Michigan, last game at Fenway, etc. In the rundown they included the date of this year's All-Star Game as another Jeter-last. I wasn't aware that the rosters had been set for that game yet. We all know Jeter was starting that game at SS even if he is batting .200.
  5. I was there tonight, I was thinking of posting during the game, but I couldn't feel my fingers. I've been to colder games, but I think this was the windiest game ever. The crowd got into it at moments. but was generally too cold and miserable to clap or cheer... the cries of "fuck you, you're inside" to the celebrity they had on the scoreboard trying to get fans to cheer was funny as was the lowest level of applause for the "clapping meter" ever. We actually didn't sit down all game, preferring to wander around and watch standing, it seemed warmer. Wacha looked like he was going to make it a very miserable night for the freezing Mets Faithful, but that came apart fast and then he was gone. Duda hit a second ball that looked like a homer too but the wind killed it (wind killed a couple for St Louis too). I wouldnt have let Farnsworth face the last batter after 3 guys had SMOKED the ball on him already. Instant Replay may help lead to accurate results but its really a bit of a mood killer. In 'The Good Old Days' (last year) the Cardinal manager would have come out there and yelled, the fans would be booing him... and then a huge cheer when he got himself thrown out, guaranteed to liven up the crowd whether home or away... and now nothing. we all stand there waiting.
  6. Didn't the YANKEE CHEATER have his own thread?
  7. Are they playing the Pittsburgh affiliate? The crowd could chant "I dont want to be a Pirate!"
  8. Yankee fans upset Jeter out of lineup for Sunday home game against Red Sox, great quote from Girardi: Joe Girardi wrote: �I understand the fans want to see [Jeter] play and I get that, � [but] I�m sure they would be a little more upset if he was out two weeks or a month,� Girardi said before adding, �I wasn�t hired to put on a farewell tour.�
  9. Amazing.
  10. Not as good as the 1st but i liked it. I dont think there were very many true marvel fans in the theater with me as there was almost no reaction to Stan Lee's cameo. The tie-in with Marvels Agents of Shield was pretty good too, they really turned the show upside down and im curious to see where it goes.
  11. Fuckfuckfuck
  12. Ughh Tejada??? Use Brown!!
  13. D'Arnaud! !
  14. Wow Duda also gets the meatball 1st pitch and watches

  16. Wanted: Offense.
  17. Edgy MD wrote: My theory is that, when all is said and done, Girardi is going to be the sole reason Posada doesn't make the Hall of Fame. By keeping Posada on the bench as the starting catcher at the start of Jorge's career, and by benching him as manager at the end, the numbers fall short even as the rates do not. We all owe a debt of gratitude to Girardi!
  18. Frayed Knot wrote: I think it's pretty clear that Alderson was hired because of the Madoff mess and certainly not despite it or for reasons unconnected to it. I thought he was appointed pretty much with "Selig's Stamp of Approval" to sort out the mess
  19. Tonight was the anniversary of the last time a clean player broke the all-time homerun record. Aaron once led the all-time leader board, but Hammerin' Hank is only 36th on the all-time list in home runs per atbat. 6th on this lofty list? your very own Ralph Kiner! at 1 hr every 14.11 ABs... And, despite being dead, he could move up to 5th... if Ryan Howard were to play out his horrible contract and decline enough from his current 1 every 13.99 ABs! Howard is currently 312/4365 and is signed for 2014-16. He needs to pretend to play to make that dough! He hasn't been the healthiest guy lately, but could he manage 900 ABs? if so he'd need to hit less than 61 homers, a rate of 1 every 14.75 ABs, sounds doable to me! Hank Aaron hit only 1 every 16.88 for his career, so if Howard merely slows down to Aaron-levels for 3 partial seasons, Kiner will be back in the top 5!
  20. Heart attack win!
  21. Noooo valverde youhad it!!!!

Im more inclined to push my starter with a smaller lead if he is pitching well. No reason to stretch him up 4runs, even our clownpen need to be able to hold that lead for 2 innings
  23. metirish wrote: I like these challenges , obviously this went our way but no need for Terry to get booted like before, get the call right I like getting the call right, but there was always something that fired me up watching my manager go ballistic out there
  24. Safe!!! Suck it braves!!! That took about 3-4 minutes... i see some absolute shit challenges coming in the near future from managers who just took the lead and want to buy time for the closer to warm up
