Two odd-looking birds pitching tonight in Boston, eh? Randy Johnson and Matt Clement are gangly and all angles. Neither is going to win a beauty contest anytime soon. Johnson, as we all know, has been getting his ass kicked around for more than a minute now. It will be interesting to see if he has figured out any of his problems. He did pitch well against the Red Sox last season but he's been a different pitcher entirely of late, and it's likely that it'll take him a while longer to get his groove back. Still, I just hope he improves tonight. I don't expect him to turn the clock back to his days with the Diamondbacks.
That said, it would be a tremendous boost for the Bombers if they leave Boston with a series win. The Yanks host the hapless Royals this weekend before four tough games against the surprising Tigers next week. I have a hunch that I'll be cursing a blue streak tonight, but nevermind the fatalism, let's hope the boys on both sides give us a good game.
Go Baseball!
Johnny Damon and Jorge Posada are both absent from tonight's Yankee lineup. Melky Cabrera will bat leadoff for the Bombers tonight in Damon's place, and Kelly Stinnett will handle the catching duties.
Here's the Yankees lineup:
1. Melky Cabrera, RF
2. Derek Jeter, SS
3. Gary Sheffield, DH
4. Jason Giambi, 1B
5. Alex Rodriguez, 3B
6. Robinson Cano, 2B
7. Bernie Williams, CF
8. Terrence Long, LF
9. Kelly Stinnett, C
-- Randy Johnson, SP
I'm expecting a slugfest tonight. Don't know about in Boston itself, but dark storm clouds have rolled in here in Metrowest.
(shaking fist at the gods)
Well, the only way that move will make me less than miserable is if Duque does to the Red Sawx in the Serious this year in a Mets uni what he did to them in the division playoff game 3 last year in a White Sox uni.
Meanwhile, I hope he pitches against the Yanks when the Mets come to the Bronx. I love watching Duque pitch, even when he's getting shelled.
and what happens if El Duque breaks down?? Now u r one 'pen guy down and NO chance of moving Heilman and 4 & % spots open..
Brilliant.. "Other" team one ups itself again
Melky Cabrera, RF.
Terrence Long (Magellan), CF.
Bernie Williams, LF.
And starting pitcher is flyballer Randy Johnson.
I will admit it, I am scared that it will turn incredibly ugly pretty soon. Just hoping Yankees give back as good as they get.
I wish El Duque all the best in Queens.
let me remind you that its:
Let's go Yan-kees!!!!!
05/24/2006 Matt Smith Recalled to New York
05/24/2006 Colter Been Optioned from New York.
05/24/2006 Kevin Reese Optioned from New York.
05/24/2006 Charlie Manning Recalled from Double-A Trenton.
Melky was incredibly robbed! No Orel, it was NOT close.
U mean Cabrera out was a botched call??
Gotta love how Melky handled that at-bat. He displayed the same patience he's been at the bottom of the order.
Tonight's announcers are definitely better than last night. But Orel should have just come out and said "bad call", rather than "oooh, that was close, I don't know."
PS, I wound up watching the NESN feed last night. Sure those guys are fans of the Red Sox, but they were way better than the ESPN crew.
Incoming! Here we go! Ortoz HR, Manny double?
Fuck you Randy, grow some balls already.
Get the pen up!
Fucking idiots.
As for Randy, he's finished, washed up, caput, a bullpen guy at best. Actually he cant get leftys out either. Trade him for Reggie Sanders and eat the salary. What a piece of garbage. He looks scared, intimidated, fearful of the bat. What good can he ever be at this rate?
Oh yea Randy, you'll get the close calls pitching the way you are. Get fired up and tossed, at least then Ill know you give a shit.
Because he's a big fat pussy, and a set up man, at best! You demand an extesion, well I demand you try and learn how to pitch again! I aint cutting him any slack anymore, he's absolute junk. Scott Erickson could post an ERA as good as Randy's for crying out loud.
Was Brown as bad as RJ?
Was Pavano as bad as RJ?
Was Wright as bad as RJ?
Was Weaver as bad as RJ?
Was anyone we dumped as bad as RJ?
He needs to go to the minors and either work out his shit or retire.
He is not even near replacement level.
34 I hope this is the last (doubtful).
He got out of there in a hurry.
I fully expect RJ to shut the door the rest of the way. You don't go from dominant to washed up in a month.
Nope, you go from dominant to washed up when you are afraid to pitch for NY!
Bernie just hit a laser off Matt Clement. Don't stand next to Matt Clement or Jaret Wright anywhere near a baseball diamond.
I have tried and tried and tried to be optimistic re: Johnson. My heart tells me I should be, but my brain tells me that there is no point. I think I gave up during the away game in Chicago late last summer.
WE SHOWED HIM!
It doesn't hurt them that there is more water on the dirt that at a mud bog race in Louisiana.
Outside corner my ass!
"I feel a primate emerging, and it has wings!"
Basehit Melky! Got Melky?
good kid.. good mind.. Cano 06
Way to go Cap!
Most hits since 1996. Second Most runs since 1996. Most overrated, umm ok. Hey at least MLB players get jealous of talented good looking guys just like in High School.
