    I never had a problem with Mattingly. He was on all those shitty Yankee teams back when the Yankee fan-base was made up mostly of genuine Yankee/baseball fans and not grossly overpopulated with bandwagoner jerks. And maybe I'm just too young to remember it correctly, but without the Internet and before the influx of the 8 billion TV/radio shows I'm guessing he wasn't constantly smashed down the America's throat the way Jeter is. I guess I don't much care that he holds this record, I've never been into breaking records just so a Yankee won't hold them. And I like his moustache.

    Is Reyes really the second best bunter in the league? How often does he bunt?
  3. Elster88
    I'll rephrase. Is he the one with the ongoing feud with M&MD?
  4. Elster88
    Mushnick's the guy who hates M&MD right? Looks like he doesn't get along a few different radio peeps. ]JOHN Sterling, "The Voice of the New York Yankees," is not merely a self-promoting clown, he's a dishonest self-promoting clown.

    A chartered bus might even be the way to go on a trip like Philly to DC.

    I'm going with Tucker. Thanks Michael, now have a seat on the bench.

    Delgado had the tag of "poor defensive player" when he joined the team. I've seen him play a good first base this year.

    I guess ARod sells papers. He's on the back cover of the Daily News, and the main Yankee article has his name leading the headline. Yet he's not mentioned in the article until about 2/3 of the way down, and that's for the ninth inning home run he hit (1-4, 2K). He didn't really have a huge part in the game.

    8 and 4 to start August.

    The formula works the same though.
  14. Elster88
    Example: Mets 70-45 Braves 55-60 Maximum number of wins the Braves can get = 162 - 60 = 102 Number of wins the Mets need to surpass that = 103 - 70 = 33
  15. Elster88
    Yancy explained it nicely in the Standings thread. You find the maximum number of wins that a team can get this year (162 minus losses), and the magic number is the number of wins the Mets would need to surpass that maximum.

    61-57 leads your NL wildcard. 'Course, it's hard to turn your nose up that sneaks into the playoffs with a weak record when you're a Met fan.

    Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd the Tigers have lost 5 in a row, including sweepage by the Pale Hose this weekend.

    Good call. I was going to say that too. I second.
  20. Elster88
    I agree with a lot of what you said there Steve, but Breakout Player doesn't fit either....that's for guys who have never been good before. IMHO.
  21. Elster88
    This really hasn't sunk in to me yet. Either that or I don't care as much as I used to. We haven't won an East title in 18 freaking years. This is fun.

Ramon Castro will come back, DiFelice will be gone, and besides, LoDuca will start every game in the playoffs anyway. That's the weakest spot in the lineup today. I won't jump off any bridges. And it's not catcher I'm particularly worried about. I don't like the corner outfielders. And when I'm worried about them I remember my doubts about Valentin.... Ok maybe I am on the ledge of that bridge.

    Sounds like the same story as his first couple of starts. I'm pleased.
