Yankees killed the White Sox today 10-0 while giving up 1 hit.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

We are too nice to the Yankees sometimes. We figure that letting you guys beat us, it will take a little heat off the steroid thirdbaseman you have:r

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

How about Ozzie being Ozzie after the game. :r

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Ozzie is Ozzie. He has won a world series so he has a handle on things.

By the way, is there even heat on Alex?

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Nope none at all.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I kind of figured that.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

It is the same thing with Ortiz in Boston. A-Rod is also in a good situation where the players around him are producing and the team is not leaning on him to do it all.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Im sure if Ortiz was hitting homeruns, things would be different in Boston right now. Or maybe the fans would over look it, I know thats kind of what LA has done with Manny.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Hey...hey..A-rod admitted to steroid use, Ortiz's name was on a list along with 103 other players, big difference? Nothing was proved, until the list comes out it don't mean jack.
Who ever is leaking this stuff has some kind of ax to grind? names get dropped at opportune times before the start of the season, before the all star break.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Ortiz is on a list of people that have tested positive for ped's. That was proved. We just don't know what drug/steriod he took.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yankees finished a sweep of the White Sox today.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Sox sweep the Jays out of town :D

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Mets salvage a win in the series.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Giants pick up Penny...not sure if this helps. Especially the way he pitched for the Red Sox. Maybe the change of scenary will do him some good.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

The guy throws 95-96 and gets hammerd the fast ball has no movement on it?
He will probably do well in the NL ?

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yankees win tonight. Andy Pettitte had a perfect game going for a while tonight.

:tpd:

The NL is a much easier league for pitchers.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Dodgers pick-up Jim Thome and John Garland...makes them a little tougher.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

White Sox trade Thome and Contreras....looks like they have thrown in the towel. ;) :<

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Thome's bat is a great pick up, but he is going to hurt them at firstbase.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I don't see how Contreras helps the Rockies though. He has pitched horrible this year.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

With James Loney there...he will never see first base.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Then where are they going to play him? Will he be the #1 pinch hitter?

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

That's all I see him doing there. A big left handed bat off the bench. Pinch hitter extraordinare!!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Well that is not going to help get to 600 HRs.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

He'll only be there til the end of the year. Dodgers need some more pop for the playoffs. In the off season, he'll be traded back to the AL.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Change of scenery? Works for some. :)

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

He can only hope.

I also like Contreras going to Colorado. I can't wait to see how far his pitches go at that altitude. :r

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Hope it works...Rockies need a kick.

LOL!!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Isn't that why they signed Giambi?

I've always liked Garland and Thome will certainly add in some oomph.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Giambi is a Rockie not a Dodger. May be LAs answer to Colorados signing of Giambi.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Glad to see Contreras get out of chicago actually. He played like ass this year(I loved Jose in 05 though:D). I hate to see Thome leave. LA is getting a great bat and also a great guy in the clubhouse. I guess people can look at this as throwing in the towel. The cubs threw theirs in a while ago, so why not us;)

Thome will be missed:sad

(by the way, I was at the game when Jim hit his 500th)

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

The Cubs didn't throw the towel in. They had it thrown at them, and it hit them square in their yambags...what a disappointment. :r

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

the pale hose win again today against the bosox:tu

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yankees won tonight.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Alright...my Mets have been done for some time now. So, who wins it all? Angels, Cardinals, Yankees, Dodgers??

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Thome turns the Dodger Lineup into an AL lineup in the AL park during the WS, not sure they should be looking that far ahead tho.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yankees

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yankees.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Red Sox :D

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yankees play a double header today.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yankees played a double bone-header yesterday. Glad it was a foreign nation they were stinking up.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I'd worry about the wild card first.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yankees sweep the double header againt the Rays.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

The Rays are done...

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

With Pena out for the rest of the year I would say so.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Fernando Rodney of the Tigers was suspended for 3 games today for throwing a ball into the stands in celebration after a game. What is wrong with MLB?

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yankees win tonight with a walk off HR from Nick Swisher in the bottom of the 9th inning. It was the 13th walk off win for the Yankees this season.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

But Jeter is pressing....

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I think you are right.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I was watching both Mets/Yanks games as I drafted fantasy football team #3 tonight, with the benefit of not having to listen to the broadcasts. I saw 2 of the three strikeouts, he looked terrible, but his last atbat with the lineout to left, he finally looked as if he had his swing back.
