YES THE YANKS HIRED KEI IGAWA

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.

the more the Yankee starters struggle, the more they throw big dollars at CC after this year.

I love the double down the line, but on that one he opened up big time and just flared it to left. But it’s a start!

How drunk are you.

And how long has it been since those two had back-to-back hits?

I don’t think even B-Ref could compute that one.

And here it is … just eight days ago, vs. Batista and the Mariners, 4th inning:

D Dellucci Strikeout Looking
V Martinez Double to RF (Ground Ball)
J Peralta Lineout: CF (CF-RF)
T Hafner Double to RF (Line Drive to Deep RF Line); Martinez Scores
R Garko Single to CF (Line Drive to Deep LF-CF); Hafner out at Hm/CF-C

anyone averse to a bunt here should be smacked.

In this run-scoring “environment?” I have to agree.

Jay, if you would’ve been doing this throughout this year we would’ve averaged 200 game threads per game.

That is perhaps the greatest failed bunt attempt I’ve ever seen.

See, we should bunt more…

Loads the bases for perhaps the most clutch hitter in the last 30 days of the universe, ever.

This Blake as clutch-hitter thing is INSANE.

I guess we had to figure a career of sucking in the clutch was bound to turn around eventually. Wait, what?

Listing to hammy, fantastic time machine, Casey is clutch.

Anyone having trouble with MLB.TV?

Casey Blake with RISP: 1184 OPS (not including that at-bat).
Casey Blake without RISP: 454 OPS.

Clearly, whoever’s in front of Casey must double every time at bat.

I want to cash both runners in. Let’s see somebody other than Blake do something for a change.

(Did I really say that?)

So if Blake’s a clutch hitter, doesn’t that mean his value would be maximized off the bench?

by fleerdon on May 9, 2008 9:19 PM EDT reply reply   0 recs

Yes. And his defense, even moreso.

by Jay on May 9, 2008 9:19 PM EDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

So now, according to TribeJay, it’s okay for Wedge to yank C.C.

by Jay on May 9, 2008 9:19 PM EDT reply reply   0 recs

LOL – actually, I think he was going to come out anyway due to pitch count.

by TribeJay on May 9, 2008 9:20 PM EDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

Well of course he was.

I’d rather never see Mr. First Batter HR in a 1-run game again.

According to Chuck, it’s okay to trade him.

by SuddenSam on May 9, 2008 9:22 PM EDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

I saw that. I’m not really against it — Chuck just invents opinions for me sometimes — but I am very skeptical that a worthwhile deal could be available. I mean, who can sketch it out for me — got to be a contender, or else why trade for a walk-year player, and what contender is going to cough up a really great hitter?

Or is it just going to be a good, solid hitter, plus maybe an impact prospect? And would we really do that?

by Jay on May 9, 2008 9:24 PM EDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

Hey, I just like watching you two argue.

by SuddenSam on May 9, 2008 9:28 PM EDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

He doesn’t actually even know what OPS is. He’s just bluffing.

by Jay on May 9, 2008 9:29 PM EDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

He’s never actually taken a stat course in his life.
