Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yankees & Red Sox start a 4 game series tonight. Joba vs Smoltz to start it off.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Please do not tempt the baseball gods, my friend - they will bite. :ss

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

John Smoltz and Billy Traber are my two favorite new pitchers :D

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Would you like them?:D

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

We already had Traber, glad to see he's doing just as well with the Sox as he did with us :r

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

And what is up with Mike Lowell? I remember him as a decent 3-rd baseman when he was with my Yankees, but he has the range of a statue now. Did that surgery lame him that much, or does he just not care anymore?

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yankees got lucky last night. Joba had nothing last night. Luckily Smoltz had even less.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

None of the Yankees pitchers were good. We gave up twelve walks!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Melky had a great HR though. That was a huge HR.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Smoltz needs to go, that 8 ERA is doing nobody good.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Giants and Reds start a 3 game series tonight, Bailey and Timmy are starting out. This will hopefully be 3 easy wins, I'll be at the game Sunday when Matt Cain starts. :tu

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Smoltzies better days are long behind him!!! someone, please stick a fork in my Mets...they are done...11 games back.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Now THAT was a game! A-Rod picked a good time to end that home run drought :banger:tu:wo

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

That was an amazing game for both teams.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

When the batter swings through his knee, that's NOT a ball.

and Mike Winters is an asshole. He might have made some better calls if he pulled his head out of his ass.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

:sad

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

God hates the Giants.

:td :td

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

They're still not as bad as us.
Reds friggin stink b/c of the old Giants manager. Fire Dusty!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yankees have extended their lead to 4.5 games.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I'm ready to give up.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

God I hate A Rod

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

The joint damage that led to the surgery did slow him up that much. He still cares as much as any player in baseball. How much of an impression of him could you get in 8 games, 3 started when he was with the Yankees in 1998?

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I fell asleep last night but awoke to find out the Yankees won.:banger

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yankees / Red Sox are on Fox today at 4pm.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

With the big Yankees/Red Sox game last night this little news headline got burried.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

So do the Yankee fans, most nights. :D

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Heard about that. Heard Alex Rios got picked up on waivers too, though I don't who claimed him or if it went through.

And Ortiz is pulling a Clemens and denying steroid use. Cause the tests lie :r

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I'm easily impressed. :ss

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

This one doesn't make any sense to me. Rios is a young stud who just signed a multi-year deal. And they put him on waivers??? Why???

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

My guess is that they don't want to pay that 65 million dollar contract.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

God loves the Giants again. :D

:tf

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yankees won again! Sabathia pitched pretty damn good :banger

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Kinda early to say this, but this August is starting to remind me of the Augusts of my youth; Red Sox pack it in and the Yankees pull away.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Another good game and big win for the Yankees.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yankees are playing really good ball...and some great pitching the past few games. If they keep this pace up (much as I hate to say it), they are gonna be tough to beat. As for my Mets...there's always next year!!!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I am glad that they are getting some wins against the Red Sox right now. It takes the Sox down a few pegs from their recent domination over the Yankees.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I wouldn't mind seeing the Red Sox NOT score today until the 3rd inning.

That way it will be 20 consecutive scoreless innings.;s

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeep! :banger

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

It was a sad weekend for Giants baseball.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yankees are looking great right now. Hopefully they can roll this streak for the next 51 games then on into the postseason.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yankees just activated Chad Gaudin and now have an extra pitcher I read this morning.

I like their chances this year.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I think they sent down Mark Melancon to make room for Gaudin. He is a nice pick up since he can do short or long relief and he can start.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

It ended up at 31 innings before that 2-run homer put them on top last night - for about 15 minutes. :r

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

It was ten minutes ;):D:tu

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

That was a huge series for the Yankees. They will be even more confident for the rest of the season.
We have done nothing until we do damage in the post season.
Still, it feels good to be in Boston with the Yankees doing so well.
I am hoping I can wear my jersey and cap proudly in a few months, keep it rolling Bombers.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

30 mins until the Yankees/Blue Jays game. Tonight is the Yankees week link in the rotation with Mitre going.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Icing on the cake is when the Rays take over second place in the AL East, the Red Sox miss the playoffs, and things go back to the way the have always been before this brief period of Red Sox non-suckiness.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Going into tonight the Rangers are tied with the Red Sox for the Wild Card.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Beat LA!
