But Jeter doesn't have Guillen's supporting cast... Actually, it should be pretty clear from his numbers that Guillen was the Tigers' best hitter this year, but he's been doing it very quietly. He obviously deserves more attention than he gets.
-
Kaboom! Carlos Guillen ties it!
-
Verlander's making A-Rod look silly. He has brutal stuff, but only some of the time today.
-
Ack. Damon hits a 3-run HR.
-
I'm still trying to figure out why they think Casey's better than Shelton. Or why they don't put Thames higher in the order because he's their muscle.
-
PS Is Giambi hurt that he's not playing first? What kind of statement does it make about Giambi's defense that a guy with a week's experience at 1B is playing there instead of him?
-
Yes, that's right. Jeter committed an error in the first, so the Tgers have had three on base. The MFY's have had five, without scoring.
-
Verlander is throwing strikes at a higher percentage than Zito did the other day against the Twins. And yet the Yankees already have five baserunners. So far no damage, though.

RBI single! Go Tigers!

So Maine is an emergency the Mets wanted to avoid, and Kuo is a difference-maker. I suppose it doesn't matter that Maine had the better season. It disturbs me that some people think that tonight's pitching matchup (1 ML win vs. nearly 300) actually favors LA, and that not all these people are Dodgers fans. (Or maybe I'm just a little bit annoyed that ESPN.com's survey asking who'd win this series had 70% going for the Dodgers. That and the articles suggesting that the two teams are so evenly matched. It's like the season -- you know, the one in which the Mets were the best team in the NL by a very, very wide margin -- didn't happen.)
-
Yes, Minnesota is not New York or Philly... but you were also right before, the Twins are killing themselves right now.
-
Kent's failure to score from second on a ball off the wall was an abominable mistake, but it was the lesser mistake on that play. Well hey, we get a win out of it, and all that "team of destiny" crap can now stop.

Barry Zito Meter 10/3 Do we go after no matter what cost

PS This marks the third year in a row that the Mets' pitching has exceeded my expectations, and I don't know how you'd evaluate a pitching coach based on anything else. -
Barry Zito Meter 10/3 Do we go after no matter what cost
smg58 replied to stevejrogers's topic in New York Mets Talk
I'm not sure how much of yesterday's game was Zito, and how much of it was the Twins swinging at one pitch out of the strike zone after another. He doesn't get away with that against the MFY's. -
Part of me wants to see the Mets give it to the Yankees in the Series. A bigger part of me wants to see Todd Jones get a 50-mph changeup past A-Rod with the bases loaded to wrap this Series up.
-
I'm not sure the Twins have a better chance of beating the Yankees in a 7-game series than the A's do. The A's staff is deeper, Santana notwithstanding. But I like both teams.
-
Padres. As long as he's not facing the Mets, I have to root for Piazza.

Congratulations indeed to abogdan! Considering this was my second year of fantasy baseball, and the last league I was in had 6 teams as opposed to 17, I'll take my end result. Till next time...

Thanks to everybody who participated. It's been fun. I'll officially wait to congratulate abogdan until tomorrow, but it's looking good for him. See you all next draft time in March?
-
More likely $2.46, but for a disturbingly large stretch of the season that would have been under $2. Not what you want from your starting DH when you non-tendered David Ortiz a few years back.
-
I'm in Minneapolis this weekend, for some recreation completely unrelated to baseball. I walk past a bar, which is advertising "Rondell White Nights." In short, they're charging his batting average for a beer. My hotel is right by the Metrodome, and there are lots of Twins fans here for the weekend. (And one guy with a Tigers shirt. I'm guessing he took a wrong turn.)
-
Sounds more like a prank than anything. Did it occur to Lennon that replacing a guys clothes with a dress is not how you'd normally address a serious issue? Sheesh.
-
Ye of little faith. Obviously I'd like to see more from the Mets, but what happens this week still means nothing. We can win a division series without Pedro, and probably the NLCS, provided our bats wake up when it matters. I still don't see why that won't happen.
