  1. Sad thing is...I'll watch the rest of this game...the whole time actually beleiving we can come back...
  2. Good point. There are upsides to games like these; these games, you can't do anything, you just move on. Same can't be said for one run games...
  3. Well...this game will be good for the ERA and confidence of the pitchers we just called up.
  4. There is a fan at the Stadium with a horn...they have not shut up since the game began... It's driving me nuts...
  5. It's over! Finally!
  6. Leiter does not 'flat out stink.' He has kept us in the game every time he's started, besides tonight.
  7. Leiter done after .2 innings.
  8. Leiter has nothing tonight.
  9. I think we all know who the real shoo-in for MVP is... http://i.a.cnn.net/cnn/2005/POLITICS/08/08/congress.steroids.ap/story.palmeiro.file.ap.jpg Period.
  10. Even if they do, A Rod still has good 'clutch' numbers; 18 game winning RBI, I beleive. You're right, the writers usually do focus on where the team finished but not always. One example of that being when A Rod won it with the Rangers.
  11. Writers tend to support a player who can do both over one who is great just offensively or defensively.
  12. How old are you? 10? A-Rod has a good chance at it and that can't be denied.
  13. Unless he gets the Triple Crown or something...I don't see a professional DH winning it.
  14. Put down the red Kool-Aid and act like a baseball fan for 5 minutes, if you can. A record is not the 'be all end all' pitching stat, most people know that. A great pitcher can have a horrible record. Why? Well let's look at some of Chacon's losses from Colorado: May 1, Vs. Dodgers: 5.0 IP, 3 H, 2 ER May 8, Vs. Florida: 5.2 IP, 4 H, 2 ER May 12, Vs. Arizona: 8.0 IP, 6 H, 3 ER July 19, Vs. Washington: 7.0 IP, 7 H, 2 ER July 24, Vs. Pittsburgh: 7.0 IP, 8H, 3 ER And then there are his NDs: April 12, Vs. Arizona: 6.0 IP, 6 H, 1 ER April 18, Vs. Arizona: 6.0 IP, 5 H, 1 ER May 18, Vs. San Francisco: 7.0 IP, 5 H, 2 ER If he was playing on a decent team, he easily wins most, if not all, of those starts.
  15. I look forward to that one.
  16. "Alex, ridiculous statements for $500."
  17. No, no, and no.
  18. After our pitcher, who was shutting them down, got knocked out of the game by a line drive to the chest...
  19. Yeah, good thing he moved quickly or it would have gotten him in the face. The YES commentators said his X Rays came back negative, so he should be okay; I wouldn't be surprised if he missed a start though.
  20. A cheap win by Seattle...but a loss for us nonetheless. Oh well, it was nice to see Ruben back with the team. And the YES Commentators said Wright's X Rays came back negative, so that's good.
  21. Wright was just hit by a line drive! They're taking him out of the game; I hope he's okay.
  22. :thumbsup:
  23. Brown will never touch the mound of Yankee Stadium, ever again!? Thank God!
