ummm... why? its not even the 10th yet, and theyre game today isnt even over.

 

cause we will win today and I started it, that's why, and both included "holes" in the thread name. So long as I find a way to put holes in every team name, then we'll be fine...

They'll win because it's the Royals. Oh wait, that wasn't the case last year.

 

they swept em at home, but got swept on the road. If we get swept by the roy-holes, I am gonna vomit and s*** at the same time...

It was the home opening series... Now if it was the 2nd series at Fenway park or later on against NY, then yeah I could see your point. The White Sox also got their rings before playing against the Guardians. Its all about the schedule

Someone please start the Wednesday August 8th game now, just in case we forget to around the time we should.

 

Edit: Actually, closed until a reasonable time.

The 2-0 to ARod was the same place as the 0-0. One's a strike, the other's a ball. MLB umps suck. I don't care if your zone is a little non-textbook, but at least be f***ing consistent.

This could not have been more evident in the at bat prior to the royals scoring their third run. 2-2 count, nice sinker by wang hits the inside corner and gets called a ball. It was a stellar pitch. Unfortunately, Wang never recovered and gave up the lead...

what a surprise making excuses again

 

It is more of an indictment on the system. Granted, we should be up by 5 right now based on talent alone, but 3 controversial calls occured and 2 killed us. The Royals first run was scored by Minky after he was out at second advancing on a wild pitch. He was called safe. Then, when the royals were down 4-2, they scored 2 more with 2 outs after Teahan should have been called out on strikes on a pitch that was later called for the rest of the game. That is 3 runs that the umps owe us...

Bad calls in the field I'll give you, but both teams have to deal with inconsistent strike zones. Hell, the only thing the umps have consistently done this year is be inconsistent with balls and strikes.

Good stuff! I was worried after we blew the initial lead, however Big, Bad Bernie and El Capitan come through big for us. And then of coarse Mo get sit done (although I was on the edge of my seat after Sweeney got hit and there were 2 runners on with 1 out).

 

Also, I love YES' new on-field coverage. Thats something we've never really seen before, but John Flaherty works good in that role. And Jeter seems to like him a lot too :lol:

 

Lets get a 3 game winning streak going!
