Ichiro looked silly that at bat, wow. That doesn't ever happen...

I think the Yankees showed real class today.

My braves have won 10 straight!

Def. should have had that game today. McCarthy pisses me right off.

That's fine. We'll beat CC tomorrow and take two of three. :tup: :D

Very cool seeing everyone wearing 42 today in honor of Jackie.

We'll see about all that. :icon23:

:D

Does Yankee Stadium not sell out all of the time anymore? It looked like a Dbacks home game last night, very few people there.

No, last year I noticed a lot of sections empty. Plus, I don't think people are buying up their premium seats like before. The NY economy is extremely rough, so businesses and people are keeping cash close to the vest.

****, Friday night, I think there was MAYBE 12,000 people to see the triple play. I blame a lot of that on the miserable weather, though.

Both Mets and Yankee Stadium prices were outreages when they open the new parks. I believe the Mets scale back in prices.

Yankee Stadium I believe did the same but still more expensive than the old stadium and that will drive fans out of the park.

So I'm still absolutely furious about my team.

The Yankees did not deserve to win that game last night. They didn't play well at all, we hit CC like he was a bottom-rotation pitcher, but Miley wasn't pulled soon enough and Sipp just completely failed to do his job.

What's with these no-name white guys always hitting us? Reminds me of 2001 and Nick Johnson.

:shakes head: Sucks when your team fails to close out a game.






That being said, Yankee Stadium is pretty awful. I've never, ever seen so many bloop doubles in my life.

Take 2 of 3?? Huummmm!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

Well first I don't like to stereo-type a player because skin color, white, black, hispanic, asian, purple or green.

BTW, Hafner is not a no-name player, he played many yrs for Clevand and the reason NYY got him is because he can still hit HRs.;)

Welcome to the AL East. The Yanks have been doing this very thing to other teams and pitchers since Murderers Row.

Nava is a hero in Boston today. Red Sox win 7th straight.

Hanging up 42: Yankees Mariano Rivera and Robinson Cano talk Jackie Robinson’s enduring legacy

Forever.....

Orioles swept a double header from the Dodgers today.

They are in a roll!

Dodgers did the big trade last year with Boston, they have good players but they are lacking in the pitching department. Today they have a Trple A pitcher on the mount.

I think they have lost like 6 or 7 in a row.

Their triple A guy did a nice job. Arrieta just can't be consistent, blew a 4-1 lead with walks. Gotta hope they can come back.

How the Yankees are thriving with an impossibly old, injury-ravaged, no-name roster

Tim Lincecum has been seen jumping for joy after finding out he will not be pitching against Paul Goldschmidt in this series vs. Arizona.

NYY sweep the Jays for a 4-0 Series Win with the replacements! :happydance:

Mariano Rivera 617th Career Save, 9/9 this season. :tup:

One more for the Record Books this year!

"Today the New York Yankees became the fifth team in MLB history to beat two winners of the Cy Young Award in the same month (David Price on April 23 and RA Dickey on April 28)"

Meh, they weren't first so... :yawn:

:icon17:




Dbacks are undefeated in extra inning and also undefeated on series finales so far. :tup:

Our bullpen has cost us so many games (should have swept the Yankees and taken 2/3 from the Giants. :(

Oh well. Kubel is back and gunning people down from LF again. We had some great defensive plays today.

^ :icon18: :icon18:

That's not a record or achievement. That's just 2 wins in a month.

Some bad, bad calls behind the plate cost us the game last night. Gave the Giants extra outs (two borderline strike calls for strike 3 that were called balls, but the same pitches were given to the Giants a half inning later :shakes head:).

Three HRs in the 5th to tie the game, then the wheels came off. :(

We'll get it back tonight. :tup: Got home late last night from the game and tonight will be another late night getting home from the game!

I love going to baseball games!

That is your opinion!!!!!

So is not a record or achievement for you... so I bet for you is a fluke that only 5 other teams have accomplished that in MLB History.

I didn't knew you kept the MLB History Books, a Sport Writer at the same time and probably a voting member for the Hall of Fame...

However I qouted that from a Sport Writer, Tough if you don't like it. ;)

They keep records for the darnedest of things though.

"He's the first player to come up to the plate, scratch his *** and adjust himself, then hit a HR."

Wouldn't doubt it if that's in their book too. :rolleyes:

Probably, Im not going to waist my time trying to justify History about any team or player. It is what it is!

Is like I believe a Reds' pitcher struck out four in one inning...that is part of MLB History, is not done everyday.

Another record, achievement, statistic or whatever you want to call it:

"Only 3 active pitchers have 200 wins: Andy Pettitte, Roy Halladay and now Tim Hudson".

I remeber when 200 wins was only a step towards 300. Are we going to lower our standards and consider 200 a HOF career?

Pitchers have changed.

It's unfortunate. You no longer have those horses that can throw CG's (with the exception of three to four, it used to be a lot more). You no longer have those brute power pitchers (such as RJ51) either.

200 wins is going to be the new milestone. We won't see another 300 winner in our lifetime I don't think. Not with how much sports are being sissied up.

I think 300 is very possible even without getting a 20 win season


The hardest part for a MLB pitcher will be longevity.

17 years ave 30 GA and 18 wins a season with 12 losses gives you 306 wins and 204 loss at 600% winning percentage.

I think the game has changed, the season is too long and they keep adding games. Players and especially pitchers get worn out.

Also any performance enhancer will work for some years then eat there bodies away.

There only a few dominants pitchers in the game now, compare the players now with the old ones totally different.

Now everything is about power. Before was about small ball and ability.

The days of a players like Carl Ripken Jr. are over.

My head is about to explode.

Our bullpen (Hernandez and Putz) has blown ANOTHER save. That's 10 this season.

Unreal. I just don't get why Gibson sticks with these guys over and over. It boggles the mind. It's like he isn't seeing what is going on.

The definition of insanity is: Doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results.

Kirk Gibson has gone insane.

/rant /crying

guys... i just have to say, as a long time royals fan, its nice to be actually competing this year

KC has not been on the map since George Brett retired.

And they won't be on the radar in September.

"Robinson Cano opened the sixth innining today against the A's with his 344th career double, tying Mickey Mantle for eighth place in Yankees history".

That's an achievement.
