So much for being better than the Orioles. Missing FIVE of our opening day starting line-up FTL.

Baltimore announcer says the Yankees are the only team in the league without a 4 run inning.

They come up in the 8th and get 7.

Fans cheering lets go Yankees after A-Rods grand slam, sounds like Yankee stadium.

Q1911

Arod is looking great this year. As long as he can stay healthy he'll have a good year.

Now we just need pitching. Felix in June?

@ ChiSox...

CocheseUGA

Sweep!

bgsm1th

At least one of our teams is turning it around!

Yumcha

^ You, zipit.

For those interested, apparently they're playing each "inning" (chapter) of this documentary every Sunday on PBS.

I happened to see it yesterday as they were talking about the 20's, next week is the 30's, week after is 40's, etc. I assume they're playing all the chapters.

Not sure how local broadcasting and all that crap works, but if you remember I'd check it out. Never knew half the stuff about Babe Ruth until yesterday

Nice game pitched by Humber yesterday...

bgsm1th

I watched most of that game and, honestly, I was routing for Humber to throw a no-no.


Today's starting line-up:
D. Span, CF - .312
A. Casilla, SS - .179
J. Kubel, DH - .349
J. Morneau, 1B - .224
M. Cuddyer, RF - .244
D. Valencia, 3B - .220
R. Tosoni, LF - .500 (2 AB)
S. Holm, C - .133
L. Hughes, 2B - .270

We are officially a AA team.

Yumcha

Zipit, your AA team at least is not anchoring last place.

Nice work by Fenway security!

Yumcha

Well, I see the Cubbies and ChiSox are already in their mid-season swoon.



Thank goodness I still have NBA basketball with the Bulls. They better not get eliminated.

Stupid Mets.

@ ChiSox offense...

When it was announced on the mega-screen, everyones jaw dropped that a no-hitter was completed.


Giants are some team, they have a pretty tight unit of players. We got smacked by the freak last night 12Ks with the W.

Yumcha

Well, this is going to be a long summer.

bgsm1th

Hopefully Lariano's no-no the other night is our turning point. This is been a disaster so far...

Yumcha

Zipit.

The disaster for ChiSox > Twips because your payroll at least is not as inflated and there were not as high expectations.

Scottman111

Guy just felt the wrath of Goldberg

Doom878

Missed this thread. Tomorrow Josh Johnson vs Roy Halladay.

Scottman111

Phillies need bullpen help

Oswald Vater

Awesome game Phils/Marlins (Halladay/Johnson). Phils doomed themselves with miscues and missed opportunities. Hopefully Lee can pitch just as well tonight and we can take 2 out of 3 from the Fishies.

Doom878

^Hey you better root for the Fish while living in the Keys, neighbor. Tonight should be good with Nolasco and Lee. I'll try to flip between that and the Heat game.

Scottman111

Very telling article on the offensive futility in the league these day.

Oops forgot to rag on Scottie for the Marlins series win over the Reds recently.

Scottman111

Psssh we weren't full strength then...now we got Cueto and Bailey throwing like wild animals so just bring it


I'll be at the Friday and Sunday games vs. the Cardinals thanks to my company...employee night and fireworks on Friday and then corporate box on Sunday

Hoping to see a brawl

Sounds like Cashman just announced Posada's retirement for him.

iTrader: (9)

Posada is now saying his back is stiff but he didnt tell Girardi or Cashman. I think its a bs excuse to cover up how his pride is hurt. Id like to see how this plays out.

Doom878

After the sweep Boston is only 1GB from the Yanks.

God knows with only 124 games left the Yankees are done.


WTF is this BS:

"As the Yankees slide in the standings and botch handling Jorge Posada, the Rays are perched atop the AL East. Scott Miller says the fresh legs and smarts in Tampa beat the snot out of New York's blue bloods".

The Rays have lost 2 in a row, they are beneficiaries of the Yankees sucking which I am certain will pass.

Doom878

Same could be said about the Red Sox too. They were done too apparently.

e30cabrio

iTrader: (6)

No one is done, not even Baltimore.

Scottman111

Even though Dusty tried blowing yesterday's game, we completed the sweep

Friday was the second game in a row I've seen the Reds beat the Cards on the last play of the game

I know it's still early, but I think the Cards have way too many issues to win the Central this year...they have some major holes in their defense.

A terribly sad day today for anyone who considers themself a Twins fan.

I'm too young to have ever seen him play, but he has been my favorite Twin for as long as I can remember. His jersey will hang proudly in my office until the end of time...

Very impressive career...I've always liked reading about him. Plus he played 10 years before the mound was lowered in '69.

Sad day for any real fan of the game.



My deepest condolences
