    You might have some repressed homosexual crush on Theo manifesting itself in your irrational hatred.

    I can't believe that the stupid run down might cost us.
  3. a700hitter
    I guess Bostonownsyou is pissed that Pedroia took the bat out of Papi's hands.

    Did Magadan tell Manny to loaf to the point where the team had no choice but to trade him.

    Smart play by A.J. getting into the run down. Dumb play by our guys.

    We only have one good hit. The other two were weak. What a night to get Buehrle. He's got tremendous command of his curve.

    Pettitte now has arm fatigue. They were going to skip his next start until Joba got DL'd. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/2008/08/07/2008-08-07_tired_andy_pettitte_still_set_to_start.html

    Yes. How could I forget the most obvious of all reasons. Good pick up.

    ...or it could be that batters had lower OPS #'s because the pitchers were better. They had better and more consistent secondary pitches. Among other reasons, there was no DH. Batters didn't dare dig in the batter's box. Many guys were still not wearing helmets and those that did wore little skull cap helmets with no protective ear flaps. If you watch films from the 50's and 60's you'll see batters bailing out against curve ballers, because they were more vulnerable. There was no body armor on batters. In the 50's and 60's managers insisted that everyone except maybe the number 3 and 4 hitters give themselves up and hit the ball the other way to move a runner along. Are hitters better today than back in the 50's and 60's. Yes. They are bigger and stronger, but so are the pitchers. It's ridiculous to think that batters have evolved in size and strength at a different rate than pitchers. Everything is relative. Today bigger stronger batters bat against bigger stronger pitchers. The difference is that pitchers are conditioned differently than they were 40 years ago.

    ...or he'll have a better conditioned major league staff that can go deeper into games putting less reliance on a bullpen.

    ARod hit into an around the horn DP. He took a long time getting out of the box.
  20. a700hitter
    He k's Abreu looking. What a chump Abray-boo is.
  21. a700hitter
    3-2 on Abreu.

    Eddie Guardado in again tonight going for the save. My goodness. The Ranger managers is throwing the game. This guy is 100 yrs old and 300lbs. He just walked Jeter on 4 pitches to lead off the inning.
  23. a700hitter
    Sexson is really paying dividends withe the Grand Slam to bring the Yankees back to 8-6. CJ Wilson is terrible.
  24. a700hitter
    Timlin has been very effective lately.
  25. a700hitter
    Good move by the Yankees opting to go with Bruney as a setup guy and trading Farnsworth. I'm no Farnsworth fan, but Bruney is jus a fat journeyman.
