Bill Hahn is one of the sorriest Umpires to ever have MLB service. :td

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

What happened Darrell?

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Freddie Sanchez was WELL on the base before the 1st baseman had the ball and Hahn said he was out. You could not have mistaken that unless you are a total idiot.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Mickey Mantle's widow died today at 77.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Holy ****. Hahn did it again.

This time the 1st basemen tried to catch the ball off the plate and it bounced out, he scooped it up, the runner past first, and Hahn called him out.

Bruce Bochy came out and Hahn ejected him.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

He must be on the payroll.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Back to back dingers once again for the Bombers. That offense is simply awesome.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

This is not a good week for Giants Baseball.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

That was very awesome! Great finish to the game.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

The Yankees are playing like they did during their 4 WS in 5 years. There is not a game that they feel they should lose no matter how far down they may be.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

sox came back in the 9th inning last night and actually won.

By the way, anyone see Kevin Youkilis charge the mound last night?:r

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yes...is it just me or did Porcello get the better of him? Porcello threw him to the ground, not the other way around. The whole helmet throwing thing was unclassy, at best. There is etiquette in mound charging...drop the bat, keep the helmet on or get rid of it (crazy not to keep it on) and throw some fisti-cuffs ( you gonna get suspended anyways, make it worth while...LOL!!). But Porcello went towards the first base side (Sox dugout)...he should have gone towards the third base side. Brandon Inge did have a nice assisted tackle though...LOL!!! I see them both getting 5-10 games suspension for their actions.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yankees playing a day game today. Will most likely miss it.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Porcello got the 2 oints for the take down.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Porcello held his own. Youk throwing the helmet was def unclassy, I think that will be reflected in the suspension he gets.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Glad I stayed up and watched the ninth. Was considering turning it off since they were 0-49 when trailing after the eigth, ouch.

What'd you think of the Alex Rios aquisition? I'm glad we didn't have to give anything up for him besides his salary. Should allow some of the vets to get a few days off here and there or if Quentin goes down again.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

and Bochy was tossed, again.

These umpires have sucked ****ing ass on this series.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Right you are, Michael - he should have pulled a Pedro there in Fenway. Martinez was infamous for mouthing off, plunking batters, starting fights, then running into his dugout to hide behind the big boys. :r

And yeah, both players got a five-game hook from the Commish.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yankees win 4-3 in 11. :banger

Oh, and both Jeets and A-Rod got plunked, and nobody started a brawl. Guess you have to be a BoSox to have the right to plunk yet not GET plunked.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I think we are in good shape as far the salary is concerned. Rios is due about 70million over the next 5 years I think. It definately complicates the outfield for us, but with CQ injury prone, Rios could take his spot. I would hate to see Pods or JD leave. We have a some guys with contracts that end next year, so who knows what will happen.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

The Bronx has been walk-off city this season.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

The Yankees crush Seattle tonight 11-1.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

That they did. Missed most of the game (traveling again) but caught the highlights. CC pitched great and Matsui was a beast! :banger

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yeah, when Godzilla hits the ball, it sure stays hit. :tu

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

New York & Seattle tied at 2 right now.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yankees win 4-2. They are now 30 games over 500.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Mets actually beat a team with a winning record...sorry Darrell!!! :tu

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yankees win again!!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

:< :< :< :<
David Wright placed on the 15 day DL, and may possibly be out for the season. Mets are finished for the year.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

That was a hard hit he took off the head. Hopefully he will be healthy soon.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yeah, it's one thing to get moved off the plate, and getting drilled every now and then is to be expected as part of the game. But the beanball, intended or not, should be a no-no no-go with an automatic suspension. Just :2.

Sorry, Michael - better luck next season.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I don't agree with suspending players for beanballs. It would make it unfair to the pitchers because you are now telling them that they can't pitch inside because if a pitch gets away from them they are going to be suspended. Accidents happen. A pitcher can not always control where the ball is going.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Matt Cain did not bean him on purpose, Cain is not THAT guy.

With that said, anyone who has ever pitched a baseball knows that once it leaves your hand, you may have a general idea where it's headed, but the smallest snap of the wrist at release or lack thereof can send it completely off course, let's not forget wind plays a big factor in all of the pitching.

I disagree with an automatic suspension, **** happens. If it's blatant that the pitcher beaned the player intentionally, that's another story. You don't suspend a player for an accident.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

With the speed these MLBer's are throwing a 1/4" difference in release point on a 95MPH fastball is more than you can believe.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Quite the busy day yesterday. Number of teams came to terms with their draft picks, with the biggest being Strasburg deciding to sign on with the Washington Nationals (who by the way are 11-4 since the allstar break lol).

Yankees lost a stinger, beat by a guy we just released. Maybe if Tomko had outched like that with us he wouldn't have been cut :r

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

By no means was Matt Cain trying to hit David Wright, it just got away from him. I do not believe there should be an automatic suspension either, it's part of the game. But I do not believe in the "head hunting". The backside, legs, back just NOT the head. Hell with all the armor these players wear today, they don't fell it half the time anyways...LOL!!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Wright said that he is going to come back this season. The Mets would be smart to just tel him to stay home and get ready for spring training. No use rushing him back to play in a lost season.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

But did you hear his interview? He said he was embarrassed to be on the DL and that he needs to be on the field with his teammates. David Wright is a GAMER!!!! He has been the bright spot of this otherwise dismal season for us. :tu

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Tonight we go against the Reds.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Pudge going back to the Rangers.

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4407445

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

That's a great move for the Rangers and they try to hold on to that wildcard spot.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Good move for them. Pudge will fit in nicely with that lineup.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

pale hose win today:banger

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I like Pudge. I think he was one of the best all-around catchers in the last 20 years. But that was is was. I don't see him helping Texas much. Could be wrong - we'll see.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

He was 3-4 last night...hmmmmmmmmm :confused: I'd say he's helping out just fine.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yep, 3-4 with 1 RBI -- in a loss that put them behind Baaston in the wild card. With friends like these . . . :ss

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

The Yankees won 5-2 tonight after a 3-R HR in the bottom of the 10th by Robinson Cano.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Scott Kazmir was traded to the Angels from the Rays. A very good pick up for the Angels. The Rays get left-hander Alex Torres and infielder Matt Sweeney.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Mets lose another one...it's becoming comical on how we drop games now. :(

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I would say the Mets could call up the Triple-A team on the 1st but they are already on the team.
