Official 2009 MLB Thread

[omid17]

What I want to know is why the 12 year old girl was taken alone to the clubhouse. Why did the parents allow them to take their kid off somewhere by themselves? That just seems...off.

Oh, and the ball was almost certainly authenticated on-site so it shouldn't have been too hard for them to make sure they got the right one back.oh ok

[Nightmare]

Dodgers pull out game 1, their bullpen pulled them through. Matt Kemp's 1st Inning homerun was huge.

[#1Batmanfan]

Lets go dodgers!!!

[enterthemadness]

Did you know Dane Cook is friends with Immortal on MySpace?

How did u know?!

How could I forget? haha. Sadly, he won't be around until the Marlins make some minute offseason move.

Was planning on it....but I did catch some of the Twins/Yankees. Wow.

Don't really care for the playoff teams...I would like to see a Twins/Rockies WS. Or Yankees/Rockies or just Yankees winning the WS.The evil empire is up for a WS win...been like 9 years since last one?

[enterthemadness]

Also, I have Fluffy and Steve Bryne on myspace, too, so brownie points.

[enterthemadness]

Awesome.

http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/phillygossip/Marlins_pitcher_Sean_Wests_wild_Saturday_night.htm l

Marlins reliever Sean West had a wild Saturday night, being involved in one fight, nearly provoking another, then getting lucky with a groupie at his hotel. West was leaving G Lounge (111 S. 17th) close to 2 a.m. Sunday morning when he was involved in a bit of pushing and shoving with a few other men. The 6-foot-8 rookie then climbed into a limousine with five women, cleat chasers, who had traveled in from Florida to hang out with the Marlins.
Limo driver Big Penny, says that while driving on Locust Street near 13th, West, 23, heckled a group of men, who then surrounded the car and threatened him, while Big Penny pleaded with the angry crowd not to harm his car, a Cadillac DTS sedan. Penny says one of West’s harem then vomited in the car, traveling up 13th Street, then again on Market Street, causing him to pull over at the Robert N.C. Nix, Sr. Federal Building where Penny says the pitcher nearly passed out.
“This motherf----- was laying on the ledge with his flip-flops on,” Penny says as the girls tried to make their friend feel better.
Penny says West told him that he would pay for any cleaning, since he has a lot of money. When the limo arrived at the Hyatt Regency Penn’s Landing, where the team stayed, West got out of the car with one of the women, and said they were heading to get a towel, but also annoucnced his intent to have sex with his companion, and never returned.
Penny says he called West Sunday morning demanding payment for the clean-up, and West claimed he didn’t know the women. When Penny told him “You told me you were banging the one girl,” West said that he knew her.
A Marlins spokeswoman did not return our detailed request for comment today.

[Darthphere]

What else is a baseball player supposed to do? Took a page right out of the Josh Hamilton playbook.

The sad thing is, he probably woke up the next morning, hung over feeling like **** and then he remembered "I still play for the Marlins." He then proceeded to finish off the mini bar.

[danoyse]

I saw that story on the local news. The girl was apparently whisked away by security after catching the ball and then had it "taken" from her. That's when/why all the unncessary legal BS started up. It is ridiculous though. Give the ball back, get a picture, autograph, bag of cotton candy. Whatever. You're really going to involve lawyers for a ****ing baseball?

Someone probably told them afterwards that the ball was worth more than whatever they gave her in exchange and suddenly they wanted it back to so they could sell it. :whatever:

I remember a few years ago someone caught a home run for Baltimore, and said he wanted a ton of stuff from them for it's return - including a signed Cal Ripken bat. They told him to keep the ball.

[Erzengel]

I would trade it for season tickets and a bunch of signed memorabilia.

This happened to the Marlins earlier this season with some "professional" guy who pretty much makes a living catching homeruns. It was in Milwaukee and I think it was Coghlan's first homerun. The guy wanted a laundry list of things and the Marlins were being kind of *******s about it.

[Erzengel]

I've seen grown men push kids aside to catch home run balls.

[Spidey-Bat]

I've seen grown men push kids aside to catch home run balls.

I've never done that. I've only pushed children aside to catch foul balls.

[danoyse]

I've seen grown men push kids aside to catch home run balls.

That happened to my friend's little boy at a Mets game once during batting practice. It was someone from the Brewers, can't remember who, caught the ball and tried to toss it to him, but this idiot jumped in front of him and took the ball.

So the next ball he caught, he yelled "Hey Mom!" at my friend and told her toss him her son's hat. He put the ball in his hat and tossed them both back to them so no one else would take them. :up:

[Raiden]

Good to see Yankees win Game 1, and A-Rod finally broke out of his post-season slump. Kinda surprised about Dodgers win though; I picked Cardinals to win Game 1 and the series in 4, but I'd be happy to be proved wrong because I do wish Dodgers will end up in the WS and against the Yanks.

Watching Hughes strike out Cabrera was great. I don't think I've ever seen Cabrera make an out in the postseason. If Joba is anything like the old Joba in the bullpen then that bullpen will be so sick. 6 innings from a starter, come out with a lead and good night the lights. And what can you say about Matsui, guy is a machine. Just business as usual for him.

[Erzengel]

Where did all the Yankee fans come from? :huh:

[Raiden]

Where did all the Yankee fans come from? :huh:

I've been posting on-and-off here during the season, and I already had a post from long ago on how I became a Yankees fan. We've always been here, just not always talking about Yanks.

[Erzengel]

I've seen you around here but it just some gentle ribbing to some others who may have been new to the thread. :o

[Spidey-Bat]

Where did all the Yankee fans come from? :huh:
It's one of the signs of fall. The weather gets colder, the leaves change colors, the Yankee fans come out of hiding.

[Darthphere]

I love how one game, the first game of the playoffs, A-Rod gets a couple of RBI's and now his postseason suckage is forgiven. Jesus Christ people. What will you guys do if he goes 0-4 the next game?

[cyborg ninja 14]

I'm sorry you can't enjoy some of the best players (Utley, Mauer, Tex, Pujols, Kemp, Ethier, Lee, Morales, Vlad, Abreu, Youkilis, Tulo) and teams in the game.

[omid17]

You should see the conversation I had on AIM with one of my Yankee friends. I would have used about 15 :facepalm: if I could have.

He was making A-Rods' 2 HR, 7 RBI inning to be a greater accomplishment than Maris' 61 HRs.

[Nightmare]

I actually saw someone call arod the new "mr october" yesterday :down

That'll end as soon as he comes up to bat with the tying run on base and Nathan gets him to fly out to end the game.

[danoyse]

That happened at a game I went to a few years ago. It was one out, bottom of the 12th, Giambi was at first. My friend and I were both up and cheering, but my friend turned to me and said, "Double play?" I said, "Oh yeah, definitely."

Then he hit it out and won the game. We were stunned. :wow:

[cyborg ninja 14]

It's one of the signs of fall. The weather gets colder, the leaves change colors, the Yankee fans come out of hiding.

So habitual.

He'd rather just do that Cody chant thing. Even though he's probably done as a Marlin.

He'll just become a fan of whichever team he goes to.

Remember when A-Rod had 9 RBI against the Angels that one time? Yeah.

That'll end as soon as he comes up to bat with the tying run on base and Nathan gets him to fly out to end the game.

Don't forget the countless RISP opportunites he'll fail against Blackburn.

Hamels has been pedestrian all year. I'm not really surprised.

I think most Phillies fans thought he would turn it on once the playoffs started because he was so dominant last year in the playoffs. To his credit Howard had his typical bad throw to 2nd in the first that cost us a run...that shook him a little.

[War Party]

I blame Hamel's wife for him throwing a dud today.

Hamels certainly didn't look sharp today and the bats were pretty dead except for that one inning. Hopefully they look like they have a pulse in Colorado or this series is over.

Adam Wainwright's pitching a hell of a game.

[Spidey-Bat]

Seriously, did Orlando Hudson run over Joe Torre's dog? Why the hell is Ronnie Belliard starting instead of him?

[BlackLantern]

wainwright has a very odd delivery...he kind of twists a bit

[Fresh Prince]

This is game certainly better then last night's snorefest.

[Kingfish]

Seriously, did Orlando Hudson run over Joe Torre's dog? Why the hell is Ronnie Belliard starting instead of him?

Might have something to do with their respective batting averages in August and September.

[cyborg ninja 14]

Stockton says error like "era" or "erruh"

[cyborg ninja 14]

THAT'S why torre plays Belliard. So Clutch:o

Buck Martinez's voice makes my ears bleed.

wow dodgers steal one.

I wish somebody would give him another managerial job just so we would all be spared that nasally ass voice.

At least he's not Jeff Francoeur.

These umps are terrible. Orsillo is PISSED

[Kingfish]

Kevin Youkilis must have slept with C.B. Bucknor's sister or something. That's two massively blown calls at first.

Which is why he shouldn't be calling a neutral telecast.

[NewYorkSpider]

Nice catch by Ellsbury.

[cyborg ninja 14]

Orsillo has to pretend to care about the Angels. Don't ya'll get it?

[dodgers2213]

go blue!

[Kingfish]

There is no justifiable reason for one team's announcer calling their playoff games on a neutral network and telecast. It's ridiculous.

There. The umps just blew a call against the Angels on Hunter at third.

Kendry Morales. Oh yeah.:word:

Um Hunter was out. No blown call.

Nope. Foot was in there before the tag. Watch it again.

another great pitching match up tomorrow, Beckett vs Weaver

How many stolen bases did they have tonight?

Wow, great game by the Dodgers! The Cards must feel like crap. I'm rooting for the Dodgers because a Dodgers-Yankees WS would be just about the best thing there ever was. Ever.

I'm rooting for that too. I'm also rooting for a great world series, since we haven't had one of those in a while. They've all been either sweeps or 4-1 for years.

[Raiden]

Wow, amazing finish by the Dodgers last night. I was listening to the game on radio on way home from work and the crowd noise was deafening. Now Dodgers have to wrap the series up in St. Louis, because Cards is too dangerous a team to let them hang around until Game 5. Nice to see the Halos shutting out Red Sox, a team that historically have given them problems, as well.

[Erzengel]

Think the Yankees/Twins game might get rained out.

[FaT_tONle]

The rain delay in 2006 completely flipped that Yankee Tiger series... let's hope history repeats itself. Burnett loses it late... Yankees implode in gams 3 & 4.

[omid17]

Think the Yankees/Twins game might get rained out.that would help the twins out big time, the team is exhausted, i heard they arrived at NY like at 3 AM after beating the Tigers

Police: Ejected Phils fan stole World Series rings

PHILADELPHIA (AP)—A masked fan ejected from a Phillies playoff game is charged with stealing three World Series rings from a ballpark office.

The Phillies have now had four such rings stolen since winning the title last year.

Police say 22-year-old Matthew Mervine of Berlin, N.J., was videotaped taking the rings Thursday. They say he had also left his contact information on a job application.

The purloined rings are cheaper models of the $11,000 rings given to players. They are worth about $1,100 and intended for scouts.

Police found them at Mervine’s home when he was arrested on theft charges. He does not have a listed phone number and it’s not clear if he has a lawyer.

A ballpark janitor is charged with stealing a team executive’s diamond championship ring left in a restroom last month.

[ih8nyy]

I haven't seen plays by a Buckner that bad at first base since 1986.

No excuse for losing though. You gotta score some runs. I figured after throwing 50 plus pitches in 3 innings Lack would get tired, but he got stronger as the game went on. He pitched well.


Hey Ray Lewis you see what I did there? I didn't blame a loss on the Officials.

[Kingfish]

Some Boston sites and such sure seem to be harping on a couple of blown calls that had no impact on the game while completely ignoring the blown call at third that actually did affect the final score. Convenient.

And weren't you the guy arguing about how clutch A-Rod was in Seattle only to rip him now? The guy is an immortal player. Now whether that was solely a product of the juice or not, no one will ever know. But a couple of bad post seasons with the Yanks never changed that fact. I don't know why Yankee fans still can not accept the guy. With any luck, he will end up with two or three championships when all is said and done.

[The Chris]

Yankees Win! Yankees win! Holy crap!

[Excel]

Im not a big fan of his but Arod, this year, out of nowhere, has been as clutch as they come. He should be the MVP.

[FaT_tONle]

He's really had only a couple of bad series against Anaheim and Detroit in 05/06. 2004 was an entire team meltdown so you can't pin that on him. People act like it has been a near decade of futility with this guy in October. That's simply not the case.

I don't know why Yankee fans still can not accept the guy. With any luck, he will end up with two or three championships when all is said and done.

All I said was he had good postseasons in Seattle, totally missed the point. The announcers sorta compared his RBI single to one of Jackson's three homers that game. Not exactly a proper comparison

NOW, that game tying shot in the 9th off Nathan? Now we're talking.

It's still not exactly a seven game series here. He does it against the Sox or Dodgers, then it is something. Would I have been suprised he finally came through? Absolutely not.

Arod had gone what, 17 games without an rbi....and nobody will ever forget:

After nearly becoming a sock, he goes to the yankees...the following postseason :dry:

Bad call tonight in the Yankees/Twins game. It was fair by a mile. The sad thing is the umpire was right there. The umpires association should come out and admit that it was fair.

Yankees will probably equally be considered the best team of this decade if they can win it this year and finish with two championships in ten years. Especially if they go through the Sox. Believe me, they'll forget about 2004 if that's the case.

[Poeman]

wow what a great game...

But seriously, I really feel just AWEFUL for the Twins team.
I think Mauer is the best player in the game, their coach is a great guy, they have gutsy players on that team.
I feel bad that this didnt happen to a team like the red sux or angels...The twinkies are a good franchise. Also sad to see that guy kinda cry at the fact he threw Tex the game winner.
Lets get the next win though yanks, there is no time for letting in here.

[Excel]

they'll forget about 2004 if that's the case.

History wont. That was the pinnacle of Arods *****iness.

Great, now everyone here in NY is going to be deep throating the biggest phony in baseball now for being "clutch" and "earning the pinstripes"

You have to be objective as well, weren't people overblowing it in 2005 and 2006? And again with the steroids? I mean I am not saying A-Rod is the second coming of Pope John Paul or anything, but people overdid it with the bashing. If he wins he will probably get most of the credit, especially if it's in this manner, even though he may not be the most deserving of that praise if they win.

[Dark Donnie]

Im not a big fan of his but Arod, this year, out of nowhere, has been as clutch as they come. He should be the MVP.

:dry:


He's not the MVP.

Very surprised to see him actually come through.

[BlackLantern]

the MVP is about consistent play THROUGHOUT the season...that is not Rodriguez....that is Joe Mauer

Good. I like both teams but I want the Angels to win simply b/c the Yankees are their *****. There's no way the Red Sox could beat the Yankees. It's a disgrace they went 1-9 against them after going 8-0. I couldn't care less about any team in the NL.

[War Party]

An announcement should be happening soon about the Phils/Rockies being postponed due to snow.

[War Party]

Here we go:

[Darthphere]

I love it, now A-Rod is clutch and all is forgotten. Lets see him get to the world series and go 0 for 21.

[BlackLantern]

how would people react to that is the question....the Yanks win the WS, but Rodriguez goes 2-25 or some abysmal stat like that

[War Party]

These start times for Phils/Rockies in Colorado are so damn unfair for the east coast, especially Phillies fans. 10:07 start time? Are you ****ing kidding me? I have work at 4AM.

[FaT_tONle]

He'll get a pass. It's a team game.

These start times for Phils/Rockies in Colorado are so damn unfair for the east coast, especially Phillies fans. 10:07 start time? Are you ****ing kidding me? I have work at 4AM.

I don't know what the deal is with this schedule. You telling me you couldn't fill Saturday with potentially 3 games? I hate that BS Wed. Fri. Sunday series the Yanks got to play. Off day every other day? They should have lined up a 3 6 10 for Saturday, instead of two tonight and three games tomm. Sunday is ridiculous. Lame start time for Angels Sox (12:07), but I guess you have to get that game out of the way for the Pats at 4:00. Then Yanks/Cardinals/Rockies to follow the same day??? Monday will be ridiculous as well if there is a game 4 for Yanks/Twins. Yanks at 5:00 makes sense to clear the Jets for MNF, but then as you said, Rocks Phils at 10:07 on Sunday night before Angels/Sox finish? Terrible job by TBS/MLB.

[Dark Donnie]

Yeah those start time suck for the East Coast. Games played out west should start no later then 8 Est.

The postponed game does help a little though. Let's the rotation get some rest.

[BlackLantern]

that would be 5 or 6 for the actual game start time and people actually going to the game

[FaT_tONle]

I get that the Yankees need first class treatment with the year they had and all, but the price for getting an off day in between homestands should have meant they do not receive an off day between travel games. They could have lined up Cardinals at 2:30ish today, Yanks at 6, Rockies at 9. That's what it should have been.

[BlackLantern]

I like late night baseball

[FaT_tONle]

9:30 is late night... games usually run to 12:30 or 1:00 clockish.

[BlackLantern]

9:30 is late night... games usually run to 12:30 or 1:00 clockish.

any start time after 10:00 EST is late night

[FaT_tONle]

Well 10:00 o'clock works on a Fri/Sat night... Sunday Night is totally unfair to veiwers on the East coast.

[BlackLantern]

we can deal with it

[FaT_tONle]

You can live with it... I need my sleep.

[BlackLantern]

then go to sleep...also I have to be at work at 8 a.m. and Im good with the occasional late start

[War Party]

I wish I could go to work at 8AM.

[omid17]

west cost angels/sox game is at 9 AM Sunday, my ass better wake up on time

[Spidey-Bat]

Why the **** is that the 12pm game? Did MLB hire a retard to arrange the schedule?

[omid17]

Why the **** is that the 12pm game? Did MLB hire a retard to arrange the schedule?im thinking the only reason is cause of the weather conditions in the east, weather is usually worse towards night time so that's why they're doing bunch of these day games in October

[omid17]

Another call for instant replay

http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=jp-replay101009&prov=yhoo&type=lgns

On Friday night, a bad call might have cost the Minnesota Twins (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/teams/min/;_ylt=AuNFfVpfasUoQWMKyzlFSiIHU84F) a chance to beat the New York Yankees (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/teams/nyy/;_ylt=AtEec8163jfrrdTqt1dwqkYHU84F) on the road in their American League Division Series. In the 11th inning of Game 2, Minnesota catcher Joe Mauer (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7062/;_ylt=AiJ6cG6KxLuL_UNdTloQLxMHU84F) sliced a ball down the left-field line that not only glanced off Melky Cabrera’s (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7595/;_ylt=AlkJyEam05S96_BMJ_OfvZQHU84F) glove in fair territory but also bounced at least 6 inches inside the line and then into the stands for what should’ve been a ground-rule double. Umpire Phil Cuzzi, standing 10 feet away, called it foul. And even though Mauer singled and the Twins managed to load the bases with no outs, they didn’t score, and the Yankees won 4-3 on a Mark Teixeira (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/6788/;_ylt=ApFTg3ZVm2Cv_YBGy.91OZoHU84F) home run later that inning.
More From Jeff Passan

The Twins were here, of course, because of an umpiring error earlier in the week. A pitch glanced off the jersey of Detroit third baseman Brandon Inge (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/6681/;_ylt=AuWbOnW6iL2g2BPrf8IMdjcHU84F) with the bases loaded in the 12th inning of the Tigers’ one-game playoff with Minnesota. Umpire Randy Marsh didn’t call it. The Twins scored in the bottom half of the inning. Marsh claimed not to have seen the video, and MLB’s umpiring boss, Mike Port, said he stood by Marsh.

So that’s what baseball has come to: supporting egregious flubs to protect their own. It’s the epitome of an old-boys’ network, and it’s insulting to the game. MLB says it uses a grading system during the regular season that rewards the best umpires with playoff assignments. That alleged fair and impartial grading system, mind you, rewarded a postseason series to C.B. Bucknor, about whom a player once said: “My grandpa would be a better umpire than him. And my grandpa is dead.”
Bucknor, by the way, blew three calls at first base in Game 1 of the Red Sox-Angels series. Bungling one call is bad. Mangling two is unconscionable. Blowing three in a single game is fireable.:lmao:

[FaT_tONle]

On the scheduling, I think what they can do to sort of create more flexibility, make some teams play a 1-2-2 format instead of the usual 2-2-1. Travel is pretty much the same, and that way it would make sense giving teams a day off after game one. Plus you can get pretty much play all the games in prime time with afternoon games on the weekends.

[cyborg ninja 14]

Damn Yankees and Red Sox, you screwed my predictions. I'm really glad to see the Angels going to Boston up 2-0 however. The Cards need to win today so the Dodgers don't have to rest up and wait around for the Phils and Rockies.

[Raiden]

I'm glad the Yankees won Game 2, but unfortunately it had to be tainted by a lousy call by the emp. Maybe MLB will finally consent to have an instant replay so calls like this won't happen again. I'm hoping the Angels sweep the Sox and have Yanks vs Angels for ALCS.

[Kingfish]

Cardinals are sure going out with a whimper.

[Spidey-Bat]

Kinda pathetic. They have 2 Cy Young candidates and the best hitter in the game.

[BatMatt]

The Cardinals usually give the Dodgers trouble year in and year out, playoffs and regular season. It usually doesn't matter how good or bad either team is. As an LA fan, I'm certainly pleasantly surprised right now.

[The Chris]

maybe this is the year of teams getting the monkey off their back, like the angels are with the red sox (hoping that's the case if the yanks play the angels, angels drive us nuts)

[cyborg ninja 14]

Really St. Louis? I picked you to make the World Series and this is how you repay me?

[BlackLantern]

Ive never heard Busch Stadium so quiet

[Gamma Ray]

Wow, the Cards SUCK! But I'm glad, because a Dodgers-Yankees WS is my dream.

[Spidey-Bat]

That's a nightmare for any non-Dodger/Yankee fan. The media would be making it out to be such a big deal b/c Manny and Torre playing the Dodgers.

We won't have to worry about it though so long as the Angels finish off Boston.

[BlackLantern]

do you eat kittens as a snack??

[BlackLantern]

if the Angels play the Yanks, the Halos are going to run up the score like they need BCS points

[cyborg ninja 14]

Cards can't square up Padilla's fastball. That has been their downfall tonight. I type this as Molina gets a double. heh.

[cyborg ninja 14]

if the Angels play the Yanks, the Halos are going to run up the score like they need BCS points

Yanks scored 7 off a rookie lefty and such in game 1. scored 3 runs from the 9th on in game 2. I think the Angel pitching will be fine for the most part.

[Kingfish]

I'll just say that (assuming it all shakes out like it's looking) I'm a heck of a lot more confident in the Angels going against the Yankees than I was against the Red Sox.

[cyborg ninja 14]

[FaT_tONle]

Who is Anaheim throwing out there for 3/4? The way Boston has played I'd be shocked if they get back to Anaheim. Should be a great semi-final either way. Rockies slipping in there would be a snooze, but Phillies/Dodgers/Anaheim/Yanks is as good for the ratings as you can get. Only Mets/Sox in place of two of those four teams other than the Yanks would be better. What would they call it if it's Dodgers/Anaheim? Hollywood Series?

I'll just say that (assuming it all shakes out like it's looking) I'm a heck of a lot more confident in the Angels going against the Yankees than I was against the Red Sox.

You basically just **** on any chance you had against the Yanks... :csad:

[Kingfish]

It has and always will be the Freeway series, Mr. Obsessed with Ratings tonie. Kazmir goes in game 3, Saunders in game 4, both have good histories in Fenway.

More than enough people would be calling a cakewalk for the Yankees to counteract my humble confidence booster.

[FaT_tONle]

I'll be pulling hard for Sosa (Angel manager) anyhow. I will sacrifice my own life soon after sacrificing the lives of my first two newborns for that team should the Angels get it done this year.

[The Riddler]

wow, who woulda thunk that the dodgers would win the series, much less sweep?!

i hate the dodgers, but they deserve props; additionally the cards wasted a chance to change the dynamic of the series when they choked game 2 away.

[cyborg ninja 14]

I'll be pulling hard for Sosa (Angel manager) anyhow. I will sacrifice my own life soon after sacrificing the lives of my first two newborns for that team should the Angels get it done this year.

[Spidey-Bat]

I'll be pulling hard for Sosa (Angel manager) anyhow.

Scioscia

I will sacrifice my own life soon after sacrificing the lives of my first two newborns for that team should the Angels get it done this year.

Get help please.

[BlackLantern]

Scioscia is one of the best managers of this era

[Spidey-Bat]

He's the only manager who is never going to be fired. Cox is retiring next year so I'm not counting him. I recall reading that Gardenhire's seat as getting hot before the Twins went on their late run.

[BlackLantern]

supports the theory that role players can make great coaches....Mike was a known guy when he played, but he wasn't a superstar

[Spidey-Bat]

Gardenhire sucked and Bobby Cox only had a handful of ML at bats. Torre is a HoF catcher IMO but he's an overrated manager. John McGraw is the best player to have become a great manager.

[BlackLantern]

so you're in favor of giving Gardenhire the heave ho??

[Kingfish]

He's the only manager who is never going to be fired. Cox is retiring next year so I'm not counting him. I recall reading that Gardenhire's seat as getting hot before the Twins went on their late run.

For all intents and purpose, they've said the team is Scioscia's until he doesn't want it anymore. How many managers in this day and age get ten year contract extensions?

Gardenhire has always been one of the top managers. He shouldn't get fired because of a bad outing by Nathan and Phil Cuzzi.

[NewYorkSpider]

How does it feel to have to watch a baseball game at 9:00 in the morning, Kingfish? :oldrazz:

None. Did Lasorda ever get a 10 year extension?

I agree he shouldn't be fired but I recall reading some rumors they might have considered firing him. That was before their run though so his job is safe as it should be.

Gardenhire is iffy, he's a lesser version of Scioscia if you ask me cause they do implement the small ball. Angels seem to execute it more effectively.

Off of Papelbon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's their year:word:

[FaT_tONle]

:doh:

It was a joke wise guy... I was asking for a facepalm. Just had no clue how to spell it with all those vowels in there. Figured I might as well substitute with a ball player that sounded similar.

On other matters, the only way the Angels will beat the Yanks is if they put pressure on that Yankee pitching. Sort of like a football gameplan. Work up the the counts. Get into that suspect middle relief in the 6th or 7th innings. Steal, force walks, keep the Yankees offense on the bench and keep them cold, guessing, overthinking, and pressing. And they have to get inside A-Rod's head. Walk Tex to get to A-Rod early. Make him think he has to beat you early and then him get impatient toward the latter stages of the game. If A-Rod and Tex press, it will have a carry over to the rest of that lineup. I think they can definitely pull it off. If the Angels bullpen gets caught up in that Yankee mystique they'll be lucky to win two games.

On that matter, the only chance the Yankees have is if they remember how to hit. They sure seem to be struggling to score against the likes of Duensing, Blackburn, and even Carl Pavano. Can't wait to see them against Lackey, Weaver, and Kazmir.

As long as the Yankees pitching keeps them in games, the offense will come through. But like I said yesterday, this should be a 7 game series. The only upside the Yankees will have is Lackey and Weaver pitching game 1 and 2 on the road.
