crickets ... crickets ...

if i ever saw mcacrver and did something to him, surely no judge would hold me responsible

i just don't understand Fox. they're showing the Cubs game. meanwhile, the entire nation can see them everyday on WGN. it was the same for the braves w/ TBS, until this season. NO reason they shouldn't be airing Yanks-Halos. then again, if the Yanks were on, i'd be even later than i am getting outta here! : ~

GO GIESE! GO YANKS!

In and out.

14 usually larger i think - my guess is there has been fewer comments on saturdays recently, especially at the beginning of the fox broadcasts and you couple that with the diapointments of this week and last night's clunker and facing the angles you get low turnout - plus lackey is extremely ugly

they are hitting lackey fairly well - just right at the fielders

bright spot, thou name is dan giese

That's a pretty sound.

ooh and the stacheless smash (i stole that from somebody here, sorry, but i liked it)

Oh man..... GIAMBINO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ya big stacheless lug you!

ARod - 359 ABs
Giambino - 316 ABs

Is the bane of my Saturday baseball existence...

Well done, Melky.

pretty impressive performance today

A little description for those less fortunate, please?

(scroll down to about third entry)

however, it game us time to hear timmy's sweet story about breaking his hand once and then the buc broke his hand the next inning - and many people here thought girardi was crazy for not pinch hitting for the catcher more!

That bunt totally changed the inning. Who knows, maybe A-Rod gets a better pitch and hits a home run? MAybe Abreu hits the ball in the air.

Once again Jeter blows it. I sure hope he decided to bunt on his own. if that was called by the coaches they all need to be fired.

The news for next year are encouraging, as I'm sure the MLB.tv people realize they could get a lot more viewers if not for silly blackouts. But unfortunately it doesn't affect my main problem- not being able to watch some of the last games in Yankee Stadium because they're against the Orioles!

89 I'm going to try and use Pitch f/x to take a look at this in the next few days. I will let you know what I find...

meanwhile, has pudge made a 1 decent throw to second as a yankee???

alright time to get these runs back and get someone in there for 3 outs then mo.

Unless you're suggesting that Giambi go find Matsui's stash...

nice job.

Damn it.

119 i think shields' glove slowed it down a bit
- robbie thought he had a hit too

Look for something to hit out or nothing.

What is that, three first-pitch fastballs, three first-pitch hits?

Ahhh...now there are the Angels I am used to.

I love it when the wheels come off in the eleventh hour.

Nice baseball game.

In that case, for instance, the likelihood of Giambi hitting one out was pretty high given how he's swinging the bat of late.

Seemed a decent bet.

Amazing, this ball club.

Indeed it is!

H ah ahah.!

With ducks on the pond, I'd expect the pitcher to be less inclined to challenge him.

; )

I could taste it, in fact.

Frankly, I think that batter protection is overblown. But I also think that it is a bit silly (no offense) to pull for a HR in one circumstance but not another, or to assume that batters facing pitchers at the highest level can fundamentally change their approach. I want Giambi to have good ABs and good plate judgement and swing hard at hittable pitches,etc., regardless of the circumstances.

But you and I and others have argued about this too many times.

Sigh

So there.
