So how long until the Yankee fans are wanting Joba to replace old man Rivera?

 

[jman2050]

We avoided a sweep and got out with only a 1 game loss.

I'm content with this week so far.

 

[siamesedreamer]

I get a huge sense of satisfaction seeing Mazzone's pitching staff give up 30 runs.

 

[AniHawk]

Had a feeling the Yanks would win one.

 

[scottnak]

Had a feeling the Yanks would win one.

Ayup. Oh well... Something is definitely up with shields. Has to be much more than his annual August hiccups... Argh

 

[Odysseus]

tomorrow off for the yankees, they start a 4 game series in detroit to be followed by boston and tampa at home.

oh, and sheffield isn't going to play in the series. sore at torre. er, i mean, sore shoulder.

 

[captmcblack]

This is some Steve Phillolps-esque analysis.

ahahahahaha.

 

[Joe]

how many dead-center HR's has abreu hit this month? 4, 5?

joba well done by joba

 

[ToxicAdam]

Yea, they are saying Sheff might be done for the season. Not sure yet.

 

[captmcblack]

With roughly 37 games to go in the season, Bobby Abreu has a line of:

AVG .288 | HR 15 | RBI 87 | OBP .366 | SLG .450

By the end of the season, he could have 20+ HR and 100+ RBI to go with an average close to .300, and his regular high OBP. Way to come back strong, Bobby!

 

[captmcblack]

The following batters were victims of Joba Chamberlain as of 8/23/2007:

- Ray Olmedo
- Curtis Thigpen
- Trot Nixon
- Josh Barfield
- Grady Sizemore
- Kenny Lofton
- Miguel Tejada
- Aubrey Huff
- Ivan Rodriguez
- Magglio Ordonez
- Carlos Guillen
- Jeff Mathis
- Orlando Cabrera
- Vladimir Guererro


NOBODY CAN SURVIVE THE CHAMBERLAIN DYNASTY.

 

[Shinobi]

Hey guys, sorry if this has been already discussed. Thoughts on the all-time Rawlings Gold Glove team?:

All-time Rawlings Gold Glove team (Gold Gloves)

C Johnny Bench (10)
1B Wes Parker (6)
2B Joe Morgan (5)
SS Ozzie Smith (13)
3B Brooks Robinson (16)
OF Willie Mays (12)
OF Roberto Clemente (12)
OF Ken Griffey Jr. (10)
P Greg Maddux (16)


Link

Morgan ahead of Alomar is a complete and utter joke...and I'm not even getting into Robbie winning twice as many gold gloves.

 

[ToxicAdam]

Hard to really argue with a list of which I only saw 3 of those players playing during their career (Ozzie, Griffey and vaguely Bench).

But yea, I think Robbie Alomar would be a great pick for 2b. He was amazing.

 

[captmcblack]

Wes Parker over fucking Mattingly?
LULZ.

Can't argue with the rest of that list (short of 2B), though - especially that OF.

 

[Eminem]

If Moose doesn't pitch well Monday he's probably out of the rotation it seems.

UPDATE, 10:39 p.m.: Joe Torre met with Mike Mussina today for seven minutes. Mussina will start against the Tigers on Monday. But there seem to be no guarantees beyond that.”

“We’ll see Monday,” Torre said. “We chatted. His arm feels so good and that’s what frustrating for him. We need for him to do more than he did (Tuesday) night. It’s a letdown for him and for us.”

Torre was asked what would happen if Mussina pitched poorly again.

“We’re going to talk,” he said. “No question.”

megaton

 

[Eminem]

Then Kennedy will take his place and get equally shelled hahahaha

 

[ToxicAdam]

Big Indians/Tigers game coming up in 20 minutes. Can't wait.

2.5 game lead and playing KC this weekend will be noiice.

 

[captmcblack]

If Moose doesn't pitch well Monday he's probably out of the rotation it seems.

Fuck out of here w/this
Moose has to throw those games, at least until the postseason where the rotation can be 4 pitchers.

Who are we going to throw out there? Joba? Are we going to start Ian Kennedy's arbitration clock already and throw him to the wolves? Are we going to call up Ty Clippard or something again? Gotta get Moose going, is all.

 

[Y2Kev]

Then Kennedy will take his place and get equally shelled hahahaha

innings limit i think

 

[Eminem]

You talk as if the postseason is a given at this point.

innings limit i think

Well that's too bad. Apparantly Buster Olney said on ESPN they could use either Stephen White or Kei Igawa. So, uhh, maybe just stick with Moose

 

[captmcblack]

:lol

true, true. fair enough.
Seriously though, who can throw those games, though? It's Mussina or nothing, as far as I figure.

 

[ToxicAdam]

With Boston and Seattle winning, the Yankees don't really have the luxury of giving away games while Moose is "figuring things out".

 

[Y2Kev]

I'm trying to watch the indians game on sopcast but I keep getting a "This channel is offline error."



i wanna watch the indiansssssss

 

[The Frankman]

It's Don King mcblack here. You forget Yanks postseason = me go bye-bye.

Well that's too bad. Apparantly Buster Olney said on ESPN they could use either Stephen White or Kei Igawa. So, uhh, maybe just stick with Moose

What about the awesome force that is Jeff Karstens? Edwin Ramirez? Or here's a thought; using Joba as what he's supposed to do, START?

Goto the MLB forum link and click the page indicating today. They'll say if a new stream is up.

 

[rc213]

Looks like the Doyers blew their load yesterday and won't score any runs today. 4 LOB already!


What in the name of all that is holy is Shea doing at 1st and Mamon Martinez doing at 3rd. Littlemind must have been scared by all runs he decides to sit Ethier and Loney, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[ToxicAdam]

I heard that the Cubs picked up Craig Monroe for a PTBNL. Could be an interesting pickup for them, as the guy has some serious power (He hit 5 HR's in the post-season last year).

 

[NomarTyme]

Raffey with a RBI triple!!!!!!!!

Edit: Fuck tough break for Pierre!

 

[rc213]

Pierre sucks donkey dick on defense.


Dodgers get 6 walks off a guy with a 6+ ERA and score 1 damn fucking run! Thanks to automatic outs in HiLOLbrand, Martinez and Gonezo.



2-1 Loss


Why are they not pinch hitting for Billingsley?!??!

 

[NomarTyme]

Pierre redemption!

Edit: Look like Pierre hurted himself.

 

[ToxicAdam]

The AL Dodgers (Indians) are stuck in another low-scoring, nailbiter and waste another awesome pitching performance.


sigh

 

[rc213]

BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!

Ooooh, Looked like Pierre jammed a finger on the steal attempt. Hopefully leaving Bills in another inning doesn't bite Littlemind on the ass. Pierre's pinky was pointing in the wrong direction, EWW! Werth is enjoying himself while he terrorizes the Dodgers.



Gonezo defense!

 

[NomarTyme]

Solid 7 innings for Bills! time for Broxton and Saito to close things down.

Edit: Matt Kemp is the greatest RUNNER EVER!!!!!!!!!!

 

[NWO]

Yea, they are saying Sheff might be done for the season. Not sure yet.

The Tigers are 15-22 since he blasted Torre and now he might be done for the season as well....how long until Sheffield wears out his welcome in Detroit?

 

[NomarTyme]

Fuck you Gonzo!!!!!!!!!!! nice DP!

Edit: Ramon!!!!!!! OH BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gonezo is batting like .230 after the break and Ethier is batting like .360 after the break.

Yet Ethier can't find himself a everyday job in left field.

If Gonzo a team player he would ask that Ethier start ahead him old ass.

 

[rc213]

Gonezo is batting like .230 after the break and Ethier is batting like .360 after the break.

Yet Ethier can't find himself a everyday job in left field.


BOOO! Broxton's homerless streak ends at 97innings.

 

[NomarTyme]

I think this is correct.

C'mon, can I ask you guys for 2 of 3 against the Phils?

Dodgers done their job! now its your turn Mets!

Saito and Broxton!!!!!!! Woot!

 

[rc213]

Jeebus, Filthy slider to Howard to strike him out swinging.

SA-I-TOO! 34/37 Saves!

:fistpump

Dodgers done their job! now its your turn Mets!

Could've had the sweep if Tomko was a half way decent starter. =C

 

[ToxicAdam]

Borowski pulls another Wickman and ALMOST blows a save.


Indians now up 2.5 games.

 

[Meier]

Doh, didn't even realize we were playing right now! Nice to see Bills finally get that 8th win.. kid has been dynamite lately -- seriously, who loses consecutive 1-0 decisions? Ouch. 2 more K's for Saito today.. dominant. I like how Russell had a Bondsian 0-0 day with 4 walks btw. :lol

 

[bluemax]

[new] Today's fun fact:

In his last 46 games (178 plate appearances), Reggie Willits is batting .226/.326/.243. His BB/K of 0.54 is down substantially from the 1.24 it was beforehand.

So, throw Reggie Willits strikes and he'll get himself out!

 

[rc213]

So, throw Reggie Willits strikes and he'll get himself out!

Someone should bean him on the head and wipe that stupid smirk off his face. Every time I see him on TV I want to punch the TV.

 

[The Frankman]

Dodgers done their job! now its your turn Mets!

Saito and Broxton!!!!!!! Woot!

Mets fans everywhere thank you and your team for its assistance in repelling the Philly menace. We look to reciprocate tonight w/ Glavine vs. Germano.

 

[rc213]

CarLOLs Zambrano gives up a bomb to Matt Cain. :lol



Dodgers close to signing David Wells, Possibly starts Sunday at Shea against the Mets.=|

 

[Windu]

Chipper 3 run homer! tie ball game 5-5

 

[Y2Kev]

anyone see the new clemens cell phone commercial?

 

[Qwerty710710]

Billy Wagner sucks

 

[Windu]

anyone see the new clemens cell phone commercial?

Is that the one where he says he wants to come back and play for the Yankees, he tells his wife to just say no and cant because the phone gets disconnected? If its that one then yes i have seen it and its been on for awhile. Pretty good commercial though.

 

[distantmantra]

Ichiro with a three run double!!

Vidro with a two run home run!!

8-3 M's!!
