patsox Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I agree 100% with you TFoAIn other news: Watching Sabathia struggle brings joy into my life. I called it. He is not going to do nearly as well with the Yankees as he did with the Indians or Brewers over the long haul unless he loses massive amounts of weight IMO.

TFoA Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Well. CC just got ran, Ransom (and the rest of the team for that matter)'s glove is like a sieve.It's just one game...but if the Yankees don't have good defense, they will be in 3rd place again.

JayJaxon Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 3rd place for the Yankees sounds fine to me. The Mets can join them there as far as I'm concerned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rams80 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 So...today I discovered that Bloomington, Indiana is within the Cincinnati Reds TV territory. Thank you FoxSports Indiana, for continually replacing the FSN Midwest "mothership" programming of teams I like with that of teams I would rather not watch on a regular basis.(Seriously, the Reds?! Nobody likes the Reds outside of Cincinnati.) On 8/1/2010 at 4:01 PM, winters in buffalo said: You manage to balance agitation with just enough salient points to keep things interesting.

crashcarson15 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I want to slap Manny Acta. 8-2 in the 6th. Really?At least the roads are looking a lot better than I thought. Navy outline on everything could be bigger, but overall, I like it.Yeah, I was at Nats Park for the exhibition Saturday night and the jerseys from the team store looked nice. I bought myself a gray Zimmerman shirt today. I just wish they could match up the beveling (or completely get rid of it).Acta had me shaking my head today. Dunn's shot was amazing though IMO.Poll: How many people anticipated a 9-8 game today in Phoenix (and don't lie)?And, Cliff Lee sucked today. And so did the offense. I sure hope this isn't the beginning of a long season.Oh, and you don't know how happy I am to see CC struggle like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who do you play for? He's probably good enough to start in their outfield.Of course, I might be too.

Gary Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 I want to slap Manny Acta. 8-2 in the 6th. Really?At least the roads are looking a lot better than I thought.

It was a quite enjoyable slugfest and Felipe Lopez is going to be a nice little added bonus for the Diamondbacks this year. My only concern is Webb. Wow, I was expecting 8 K's and 7 innings of work. He was rocked all over Chase today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was fine in Cleveland until the pressure of the playoffs. He was fine in Milwaukee until he had to pitch in the playoffs. Just look at Sabathia's postseason stats. The dude straight up chokes when the pressure is on. In New York every game is going to be pressure filled. There will be no "friendly" Cleveland or Milwaukee media to excuse away his performance. Sabathia is going to be one of the biggest free agent busts we've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he must be thrilled that he doesn't have to worry about how he dresses etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedleyLamarr Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Lowe should have been in the whole game. There is no excuse for him not to IMO.He was a couple pitches shy of 100 for the game, and it's the first game of the year. I'm suprised he went 8 innings.

Navy outline on everything could be bigger, but overall, I like it. that, we all know that Acta can't manage and this should be his last year (if he makes it to the All-Star Break).How bout the line from Emilio Bonifacio:4-5, 4 Runs, 2 RBIs, 1 HR (FIRST HR; inside the park (first time since 1968 on Opening Day), 3 SBsAnd the Nats traded him for Olsen & Willingham?

Epiphanic Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 It's one game guys. Relax. Plenty of time to get that to that magical 63-win barrier.I fail to see how being down 8-2 in the 6th is specifically the manager's fault. "In the arena of logic, I fight unarmed."I tweet & tumble.
