It doesn't hurt that the rest of the division sucks lately.

Are you willing to bet on this?

Headache in a Suitcase · 07-12-2008, 01:36 PM

There's got to be some kind of public humiliation on the boards for the loser. Give me the evening to think it over and I'll have a bet for you tomorrow.

I can't think of a worse fielding first baseman than Ryan Howard. Makes many simple plays look difficult, and anything above moderate difficulty is almost always an error.

That's the explanation I was looking for.

She looks cute in those. Poor A-Rod. Dang, those Canadians!

Bad/Sad News:

Yankees Broadcaster, Bobby Murcer has passed away. It took me a while to get used to Bobby as a Yankee broadcaster, but I finally came around and enjoyed his broadcasts.

This sucks.

make that 8 in a row... 9 out of 10... 1/2 a game out of first place. and just like that the mets are in position to possibly go into the all star break in first place.

in the last time through the rotation... 5 games... the mets pitching staff is 5-0 with a 0.80 ERA (3 shutouts) and given up just 13 hits, including a 3 pitcher 1-hitter today. the 13 hits over 5 days is the lowest number of hits given up by a mets pitching staff over a 5 game stretch in their history (thank you elias sports bureau).

of course the rockies and giants suck... but impressive none the less.

This epic Phail is starting to really piss me off.

Time to give Durbin a start, me thinks. Adam Eaton just can't hack it anymore.

just read that it's actually the first time since 1900 that a team has given up 3 or fewer hits in 5 straight games. thanks again, elias sports bureau.

they must have a lot of free time over at the elias sports bureau.

i would just like to add for the record that all this yankee stadium love is making me quite nausious... the entire stadium was gutted in the 70's. this is NOT the same stadium that babe ruth and mickey mantle played in, home plate isn't even in the same location as it was before the renovation, all the stands are different, the fences are different, very little remains from the original stadium, and it is, in fact, newer than shea stadium.

all of these facts have been conveniently forgotten by the yankees brass and major league baseball in their end of the year "celebration" of the house that ruth built before george gutted it and more or less rebuilt on the same location.

Headache in a Suitcase · 07-13-2008, 08:26 PM

with Carlos Bell-Tron starting in centerfield now and hitting 3 run homers, i hope there's still a place in the lineup left for Carlos Beltran.

yes, i realize i'm talking to myself in the thread.
