June 1st vs. New York

[kyahbean]

WTF I left for like 5 minutes and I come back and the score is 9-3?!?!

[Thumper]

I'm turning the game off. I can't watch this horror flick.

[MANNYHOF24]

9-3. So' date=' you guys will tie us up by the 6th.[/quote']

 

Hilarious

[jacksonianmarch]

maybe this is what our offense needed? No Giambi, Damon in the DH hole and a decimated team trying to claw back. Too little, too late boys.

You'd better stay. This is fahhh from over.

[TedWilliams101]

I'm about to change the channel. This sucks.

[jacksonianmarch]

Hilarious

 

with the way our SP and relief has been, there is a chance the game has already been tied, we are just behind on the feed.

theyre facing Wakefield who now has an ERA close to 9 over his last 4 starts

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

Well' date=' seeing how other than the last 2 weeks, Wakefield has been much more reliable then Schill, and DiceK. Honestly to say that Wake isn't a highly valuable is absurd.[/quote']

 

Wakefield is a .500 pitcher. Who cares what he did for a 2 week stretch....by the end of the season he will have as many wins as loses. You think Curt Schilling and Dice K will have a .500 record?

9-3, it would be hard to come back from this one.

Forgot your poncho?

put the pink hat down and step away from the remote.

What? Stay and watch the Skanks just hand our asses to us? You know the routine. We get behind and then we collapse. Only good thing out of this is it's only the first game of this series, and we're still kicking New York ass in the long run. But I can't stand to see us get beat up like that. It f***ing hurts.

Actually it was a stretch of 7 straight starts where he didnt give up more than 3 earned runs, not 2 weeks

[example1]

if you think your backup catcher needs to hit' date=' guess again. Many teams have a horrible backup catcher. Hell, ours has 2 hits on the SEASON. I'd venture to guess that Mirabelli has been a better than average backup catcher (overall, he has had one hell of an awful start).[/quote']

 

I think Mirabelli has been an above average backup catcher. He doesn't really bring anything special to the table, except for the ability to catch wakefield.

 

People can think its moronic to not fear the day that Wakefield isn't in the starting 5 anymore. I don't. I think he is an average to slightly above average pitcher who happens to have a lot of history with this team and who is a class act. There are pitchers out there who may be more than slightly above average, and therefore I want them pitching for this team if it helps them win. Apparently its okay to be perfectly happy with a pitcher who wins as many as he loses.

You obviously haven't watched either of these teams play baseball in 2007.

Have you looked at DiceK's run support, then have you looked at Wake's. Wake has these periods, but more often then not he pitches well, especially since about 2003. Wake was 16-12 in 2005 and was our ace that season. He should have won 20 games that season if it wasn't for pathetic run support. Wake should have been like 7-1 to start the season. instead he was 4-3, because of run support. More often than not I want Wakefield in my rotation.

if you have a .500 pitcher in your 5 hole then you are a really good baseball team.

[jacksonianmarch]

Manny is hitting double a great BA against Wang. That is ridiculous.

First of all, again, he's in the FOUR hole.

 

Second, there will be better options next season. Lester will be there, Buchholz will be close.

[jacksonianmarch]

NO, NO, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO VIZCAINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Thumper]

Yeah, I know, we came back with 6 runs and April when we swept the Yankees, but I'm not that optimistic.

that is your GM's fault. Or you could blame it on cancer or injury or whatever.

[MANNYHOF24]

Wakefield has won 150+ games in his career, he is good in this rotation.

[riverside sluggers]

knew it double play

 

wang will throw 20 pitches over the next 5 innings for the complete game

 

And Drew swings at the first pitch, out #3. Just 8 pitches to ease Wang and get those hot Yankee bats back out there

[Cocos Disciples]

Yeah' date=' I know, we came back with 6 runs and April when we swept the Yankees, but I'm not that optimistic.[/quote']

 

Not just that. If we can drive Wang out of this game, the Yanks middle relief is VERY hittable. But leave if you must...

[ORS]

Despite the DP, never fear, Gascaino is warming.
