YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[CajoleJuice]

Matt Holliday best hitter? really?

And you had to know Reyes would get MOST EXCITING

Damn you y2kev beat me to it.

 

[Joe]

i didn't see any white dust

This is a from a survey of managers by BA:

BEST DEFENSIVE THIRD BASEMAN

2. Adrian Beltre, Mariners
3. Mike Lowell, Red Sox

What the hell does Joe Crede have to do to get some respect?

 

[captmcblack]

So, in that thing, Derek Jeter is the best defensive shortstop? :lol

And Posada doesn't occur in any of the catcher ratings? :lol

AND David Ortiz or Manram don't appear in best power? :lol

 

[Y2Kev]

Mike Lowell has 14 errors this year :lol

 

[CajoleJuice]

Managers know almost as little as sportswriters.

 

[Eminem]

What the hell does Joe Crede have to do to get some respect?

Play anywhere but Chicago, it seems =(

So, in that thing, Derek Jeter is the best defensive shortstop? :lol

And Posada doesn't occur in any of the catcher ratings? :lol

AND David Ortiz or Manram don't appear in best power? :lol

No one said managers were smart!

 

[Joe]

if the yankees lose this game....

 

[Y2Kev]

****. Rough redebut. Mike Myers sucks.

 

[Joe]

awesome job by cano getting to 3rd. why cant he play like this all year?

 

[Joe]

please tell me i didn't just see kyle farnsworth warming up

 

[Eminem]

please tell me i didn't just see kyle farnsworth warming up

advice number one: strike out ortizinator

 

[Y2Kev]

DFA FARNSWORTH

 

[ToyMachine228]

Grats to A-Rod. Canseco doesn't have shit. He just wants attention.

DFA FARNSWORTH

Seriously, the guy is worthless. The Yankees bullpen needs to be their number one priority in the off-season. They need to get Igawa to settle down and put him in there or something. Something needs to change.

 

[Joe]

i would not want to be this first base ump at the chc/nym game right now :lol

 

[Kuroyume]

**** him

 

[LJ11]

Brutal performance by Maine. He had absolutely nothing.

 

[ForzaItalia]

Arod is going to become massively popular in the coming years as he becomes the one to cleanse the game of Barroid. Deal with it haterz.

[Kuroyume]

McCarver shut the **** up you cocksucker. God damn...

 

[siamesedreamer]

I got nothing but respect for ARod. Dude is unbelievably talented. Would have been a Brave if it weren't Hicks' dumb ass.

The only haterz I know of are his fairweather fans in NYC.

Did today's HR make him a "True Yankee"? :rolleyes

 

[Triumph]

It's cool that we're winning and the Mets lost and all, but I still just don't know about this team. And the beginning of August is a bad time to not know about a team.

 

[carlos]

Well we DO know that tonight is another inevitable Hudson implosion in the ninth, with Wickman coming in and blowing the game....

Seriously, I will cause serious bodily harm to someone if this happens again

 

[siamesedreamer]

I wanna believe, but they continue to lose games they should win. They're the very definition of a .500 team.

 

[Joe]

**** YOU TOM GORDON

 

[Triumph]

For the love of ****...

You know, the real tragedy of all this is that in 3 games, Braves relievers have given up 2 grand slams and neither was given up by Joey Devine.

 

[Windu]

I wanna believe, but they continue to lose games they should win. They're the very definition of a .500 team.

They seem to be trying to do it again tonight.....

 

[siamesedreamer]

*sighs*

 

[Triumph]

Oh great, yeah bring in Soriano, that'll fix it...

 

[Y2Kev]

joey devine :lol

 

[Triumph]

joey devine :lol

It wasn't Devine, tho! It was Dotel. The other one was from Soriano.

That was great -- thanks for the link!

 

[Triumph]

Fatty continues to be gold at home and suck on the road. Still hasn't allowed a run at home this year.

 

[Windu]

Bob ate his Wheaties this morning.

 

[vas_a_morir]

Boom. Barry did it.

 

[NomarTyme]

BB !!!!!!!!!!

edit: Pretty historic day for baseball

 

[BigJonsson]

BONDS!

 

[Shalashaska]

Opposite field too.

 

[Y2Kev]

**** :'(

 

[BigJonsson]

Bonds wasn't impressed by A-Rod's 500th haha

omg, 756 is next


lol @ the scramble for the ball

[tedtropy]

Argh. What a crappy way for the Astros to lose after such an entertaining game.

 

[MIMIC]

Go, Barry! 755....one more to go.

I'm glad he tied Hank Aarons. He's my cousin on my mom's side....but he never calls
