Ryan, what happened with you guys losing to the A's the other night?

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

They can't win every game. The goal is to win the series.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

It's the A's though.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

You have to give them something to hang on so they don't give up completly.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

:r

Yeah, that's true. That's OK, we lost to them at the battle of the bay and to this day have no idea why.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Even bad teams win a few here and there. The Giants lost a game to the Nats last month and they are the worst team in the League :r

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

It's because we let Barry Zito START!!!!!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

That is always a good way to lose a game.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

He was well worth all that money :tu

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Sadly, it's Bruce Bochy's favorite way.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Red Sox acquire Victor Martinez from Cleveland.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Where the heck are they putting him?

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

cbssports.com has it confirmed.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

They have him for 1B, C & DH. It is definately a good pick for them. A nice bat and now relief for their older players that are breaking down.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

He's 30, soon to be 31. Not exactly young. And he can't be an every-game catcher because of knee problems, so he's sitting basically in the same spot that Laroche was yesterday. He's there to sub for Youkilis, Lowell Ortiz or Varitek. I suppose that gives them a bit more versatility in resting people, but still. What they really needed was a SS with a bat and at least a little bit of fielding prowess. You know, the kind of guy who won't make the closer blow a three-run lead in the 9th by making two absurd errors...

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I kind of like it when Pap blows leads in the 9th. :r

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Hearing reports that the Yankees got Jerry Hairston Jr :(

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Is he the new bat boy? :r

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

My head is spinning from all these last minute moves!!! LaRoche back to the Braves...what did they trade him to Pittsburgh to begin with??? Martinez to the Red Sox...like others, where is he gonna play, especially with them just picking up Kotchman. Peavy to the White Sox for four un-proven minor leaugers? Sounds like a GREAT deal for the White Sox, terrible for the Padres. And there are still a few hours until midnight!!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

We got smoked tonight.

Hold my hand, I'm not doing so well.

:r

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Timmy was an animal tonight!!!

GO GIGANTES!!! GO!!!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Thanks for helping us by beating those Phils!!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

A little late because I was away this weekend, but I have to say that Cliff Lee is an animal. If that first start was a sign of things to come, I think I might be in love. Shame the rest of the team isn't swinging the bat very well all of the sudden.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I had a blast at the ball park today, we smoked Philly!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Nothing better than a day at the ballpark!!!

:D

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Well, the Yankees stop their slide, with Melky hitting for the cycle. If he can just do that every night, we might stay inna race.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Telling games coming up for both the Yankees and the Sox this weekend, 4 game series at that park in the Bronx that was not built by Ruth.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

The House That Jeter Built has been kind so far. :D

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

It will be a good series I think. Boston is playing better and the Yankees win in streaks so who knows. If they get swept again i think i'll just throw in the towel for the year :r

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

We scored 7 mins into our first game of the series against HOU. :tu

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

The Giants have been looking pretty good as of the past few games. They certainly didn't make the Phillies look too good, well aside from the game that Lee pitched. It will be interesting to see what happens if we meet you guys in a playoff series.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yeah, we managed to lose last night 4-3. I don't know what went wrong.

Anyway, game 2 of the series tonight.

You guys have CO starting tonight, they are on fire with a 4 game winning streak.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I believe my Mets are done this year...10 games back and not putting anything together.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Damn 10 games back, that hurts.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

The 10 games back would not bother me as much as the fact that there are 3 teams ahead of them in the NL East, and 6 in the wild card. Now, that hurts.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Thanks Thomas...you always know how to shed a glimmer of hope on things. LOL!!!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Damon just hit a HR off of Doc!!

3-1 lead for the Yankees!!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Teixeira just went back to back with Damon off of Doc!!

4-1 Yankees!!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yankees win 5-3 against the Blue Jays.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

And the Sox lose in extra innings :banger

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

1.5 game lead now.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

We took Houston 8-1 tonight.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I'd be pretty scared if this big guy came after me :r

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yikes!

That could have turned ugly FAST!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

That was a perfect hit batter for Mota. Fastball below the waist. He did not go up and in around the head. He earned respect from his teammates after they got hit twice the inning before. It is all part of the game.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

:tpd: I agree and Prince should know this!!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Eli Whiteside never hit a MLB home run.

Today the bases were loaded and his first MLB HR, just happens to be a GRAND SLAM!!!!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Just sayin'. With 70+ games left, one can make up 10 games (well, 9.5 for the moment). You can ask the '51 Giants if you don't believe me. But passing all those teams means they all have to slide, or your Mets need get solar hot.

BTW, how the hell do you manage to get on the DL by entering the dugout? :r

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Tell me about it...paid millions of dollars, but can't walk into the damn dugout. Maybe he misses the other half of the team and wanted to join them on the DL. As for making some ground up? I don't see it happening...we can't seem to piece a series together to save our a$$es. David Wright and Johan Santana can't do it all by themselves. Besides those two and Angel Pagan, the rest of the team is asleep.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Real nice win for the Yankees last night, despite the bad pitching from Mitre. If they keep playing the way they are now and manage to win a few games against Boston there gonna start running away with the division.
