What a crappy lineup for the spankees. They must be doing GW a solid by hiring the former attorney general to play 2nd base, either that or he picked up some dirt on the Steinbrenners with a warrantless wiretap.

Dellucci seems to be thinking the same way, though I think the last two pitches MAY have been strikes, but I certainly don’t think the first one was, and the other two were certainly borderline at least, and Kennedy is even less established than Sowers, despite all the hype about him.

I sure hope we adapt to Kennedy in-game and not be shut down by another guy we’ve never seen before – we need to adapt in-game and hit him at some point, if not early.

Just my 2 cents. :-)

Yeah, but what does “close” mean? The Indians were arguably close on Manny and Thome, but it’s a matter of opinion.

Anyway … it won’t be close.

McCarver said it, so it must be true. $130M is close to $150M. I mean, what’s the difference? Besides $20,000,000?

The Indians’ offer may be very close in average annual salary, but some other team will definitely offer one more year and probably two more. That will leave grand total guarantee that is not close.

by CU Adam on Apr 26, 2008 4:27 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Why send Giambi?

It actually is a sound move. You’ve got a runner on 1B with two outs, so the value of losing that runner is minimal. On top of that you’ve got an 0-2 count on the batter.

If (when) Giambi gets caught, what you’ve lost in run expectation is minimal—but you’ve gained two strikes on the batter, who gets to start over the next inning at 0-0.

by Jay on Apr 26, 2008 4:28 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

While this is true, I don’t necessarily see the logic of doing it with someone as slow as Giambi, where the likelihood of him actually stealing successfully can’t be too high.

“On the surface, Ian Kennedy was the vivacious young pitcher we all knew him to be. But his soul was in Antartica, freezing with the knowledge of the way opposing hitters can be cruel, the way umpires can be unresponsive, and as he writes so eloquently in his optional assignment note, the way life can suck. We’ll all miss the Yankees’ little Eskimo. Let’s hope he’s rubbing noses … with Jesus.”

If you send Mastny down, you can’t recall him for 20 days unless someone else goes on the DL, so the question is, what other reliever would we bring up next week to take his spot? And you can’t say Elarton, because he’s not on the 40-man.

You’re right, it is 10 days.

I always get this mixed up. 20 days is the number a player has to spend in the minors (over the whole season) in order to actually use up an option. Which means that Mastny hasn’t used one up yet.

from Yahoo Sports: Westbrook received a cortisone shot in his back Friday.

Indians trainer Lonnie Soloff said the timetable for Westbrook’s recovery changed because the symptoms of his injury persisted for a week since he got hurt. Soloff said the injection seemed to help Westbrook.

Soloff also said closer Joe Borowski will begin playing catch on Monday. Borowski has been out since April 15 with a strained triceps muscle and is expected to miss one month.

My all time favorite McCarver-ism happened a few years ago, Dodgers @ Braves. Furcal just turns an unasissted triple play.:

“See Joe, that’s why you’ve gotta start the runners early there, to stay out of the unassisted triple play.”

I assume he was making a great joke, and not the dumbest remark of all time?

Oh no, this was in all seriousness.

Really? Are you sure?

That seems unbelievable. I mean, it’s a pretty good joke.

Well that’s how I remember it. I checked the Youtubes and couldn’t find it.

I mean, I believe you … but it’s unbelievable.

my favorite is in the quotes section of facebook: “david eckstein like all of us, has 20 digits… 10 fingers and 10 toes”

The Disabled List just called ... it was trying to unload Joe Borowski. I offered a bagel but balked at giving up a ham sandwich. It wanted to keep Westbrook.

Awesome.

Despite all of my best intentions, I have not, in fact, grown up to be a debaser.
