2009 Yankees Game Thread

I've never been at AT&T but it looks cool. This year' date=' besides Fenway, I'm going to new Yankee Stadium, Camden at least once, maybe RFK, and maybe somewhere near where I visit colleges.[/quote']

 

You should hit up Turner since you'll be in the Alabama area visting colleges. It's not like Braves tickets are hard to come by.

[David Bowie]

braves are on pace to go 162-0. Choose your next words carefully leonidas. They may be your last as king.

I'd like to very much. I went there a few times when I was down there before, but I was a lot younger.

Danny Giese was claimed by the A's on waivers today.

I bet you leave a Yankee fan.

 

Seriously though, that's sick. Have fun. Idk how likely it is but I want to somehow make it to the metrodome this season before the twins move into Target Field. For some strange reason I wanted so badly to see a game in RFK before the Nats moved out, but I would very much like to see Nationals Park. Camden has been calling my name for years, so maybe I'll get that chance this year. Also new Busch Stadium is a place I'm looking forward to someday visiting (I always wanted to go to the old one but they obviously tore it down...didn't need a new park if you ask me).

Outside of Olympic Stadium, the Metrodome was probably my least favorite place to watch a baseball game. I'm not really sure why. I sat in the upper deck and it just seemed incredibly steep, but, beyond that, it was just not a very comfortable place. I'm glad they're getting a new park.

Adam Jones is going to win the batting title.

Being in Cardinal land (bad times) I went to the old Busch several times and went to the new Busch last year and saw Manny and the Dodgers. It's a pretty nice looking place. My seats weren't the greatest, but then again they were free so I can't complain too much. I'm sure I'll go to a game or two sometime this season. Wish the Sox would play there in the near future in interleague.

What do you know, you CAN have Markakis and eat it, too.

Are you just watching this on MLB.tv?

[Youk Of The Nation]

I don't have MLB.tv.

 

Huffhuffhuff

[BoSox21]

CMW lol

[ORS]

Markakis ends CMW's night. He got brutalized.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Markakissssssss

[Cocos Disciples]

Really, why do the Yankees always start slow?

[jacksonianmarch]

Right now its because our pitchers couldnt locate. Sabathia couldnt keep his fastball down and Wang couldnt keep his sinker down. As much as I was concerned about the offense, 10 runs in 2 games isnt all that bad. It will correct itself. Sabathia will eventually go back to his pinpoint control ways and Wang will eventually get the sinker to the lower half. Regardless, Burnett and Pettitte were our two best ST pitchers, so maybe they'll locate tonight and tomorrow.

Most of their players have history's of starting slow. But probably because most of them are business men who don't care until the media starts ripping into them and start to tarnish their beloved images. That and there old and it's cold and old men don't move so well when it's cold. April-May they suck(sub par weather), June-September they play well(good weather), October, well we all know.

I like what I'm seeing from Cano so far.

Cano had a rough season last year. I expect a much better season from him. Guy can rake, there is no denying it.

[Mr Crunchy]

What is shocking is the drop in velocity in both men and the fact that neither of their starters has posted a K yet.

Yet Steve Phillips insists this is the best staff in baseball.

perhaps this is why he is working for ESPN and not the Mets or another franchise.

The whole Yankee season will be judged on how their free agents perform, of the 3 guys they got the guy going today is their cherry, perhaps their best signing on paper...With that said who would be shocked if he was holding his shoulder leaving the field in the 3rd inning down 5 runs?

Burnett is their key, if he gives them 180IP this year they should have enough elsewhere to carry them to a playoff spot, if he cant go a full season then i suspect they'll have some real problems making the playoffs....MJ, that offense has had 1 inning in 2 games, theyre flat so far, scoring 4 in the 9th when down 6 is useless but stats get padded none the less.

[riverside sluggers]

CC and Wang- 8 innings, 17 Hits, 13 Runs, 8 Walks, 0 Ks

[Mr Crunchy]

Ya but their offense scored a lot of runs....

[rician blast]

Tex get a hit yet?

 

Did he at least get the ball out of the infield?

[BoSox21]

yea, Tex had an RBI double yesterday

[Cocos Disciples]

When the game was basically over...what a useless piece of s***, he doesn't even get hits in crunch time. A-Rod all over again. I'm glad we didn't get him. Mike Lowell FTW.

[riverside sluggers]

1 for 9

 

He is a career slow starter, not good when you don pinstripes

[rician blast]

Oh, glad to hear he raised his average to .111, wouldn't want him drawing the ire of Yankee fans too soon.
