dfwabel Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Three pitches, three strikes.Gotta wonder if that's how Josh Hamilton's Rangers career ends.While the audio is very poor, Hamiltion made some statements after the TV cameras and mic flags left. He was much more defensive and lot's of it all being in God's hands and then it got testy with a writer(s). http://theticket.com/Portals/2/UserFiles/User77883/1008BaD_-_Josh_Audio.mp3The first female voice is that of a member of the Japanese media.

rams80 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Well that 12-4 beatdown was painful to watch.It's OK, now that they've gotten that out of their system, they'll be shut out the next two games.

Kramerica Industries Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 atrocious performance by the Yankees tonight. Totally let a winnable game slip away. Wouldn’t be shocked at all if this costs them in the end.And I’ve been one of the bigger ARod backers over the years, but he CANNOT be hitting anywhere near #3 anymore. He has, what, five or six strikeouts in the first two games of this series? 1-9 at the plate?Glad he did what he did in 2009. Because he’s gone back to the ARod of Yankee playoffs past ever since then. He’s batting #3 only because his name is Alex Rodriguez. Not because his bat carries anywhere near the worthiness of it in 2012.--No, I'm not trying to do the Lights Out routine, but it's one thing to lose games. It's one thing to lose playoff games. It's a whole other thing to flat out give games away with the same situational failures that have plagued them all season long. Chances in the 4th and the 7th to take the lead back, and predictably, not able to get the job done. The Orioles dominated the Yankees in New York this season, and this is basically the equivalence of another three game series. The Yankees will have to do something they have not done all season in order to win this series, and that's take (at least) two of three from the Orioles in the Bronx. So glad the dead bats society was in full frothe tonight.Disgusting. The smirking bird is smirking it's ass off tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I can see why Yankees fans get so frustrated if their team doesn't perform in the playoffs. For one, they should be the favorite every year so if they don't win the whole thing it's an automatic let-down. Two, they're basically guaranteed a playoff spot, so Yankees fans have to wait through what must feel like 7 months of Spring Training to watch any meaningful games. I imagine that it can be very frustrating to sit through that trudge just to watch them come up short. You're like the Detroit Red Wings fans of baseball.Baltimore has to be the most popular team in baseball right now. On the NL side:I guess the Cardinals winning is a good thing. If the Reds can finish the Giants tonight, which would be awesome because I have tickets, I'd love to get the Nationals after a 5 game series, preferably with a long extra inning game thrown in there. Yesterday was a pretty standard Cardinals win, but game one was a standard Cardinals loss for 2012. Play add-on in wins and bloat their run differential, but lose low scoring one run games. If the Nationals don't freak out (in the same way the Braves freaked out) and play the way they've played all season, they'll win the series. They're the better team.

STL FANATIC Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I guess the Cardinals winning is a good thing.

If the Nationals don't freak out (in the same way the Braves freaked out) and play the way they've played all season, they'll win the series. They're the better team.Absolutely spot on about the run-differential and what not. That's what's made this team the most frustrating (obviously NOT the worst, though) team I've ever watched.That said, the pitching match-ups favor the Cardinals, and it took a swift combination of loading the bases with nobody out and not scoring with your two best and most clutch hitters up, an error by a good defensive player, and a horrifically bad managing decision for the Cardinals to lose game one. The Nationals are at home, so I'll call it a toss-up. Series could go either way right now. Game three is obviously pretty huge.Wow. Ichiro was clearly out of the base path there. I should have been called out.Not at home plate there is no basepath at home plate, as long as he stays in the vacinity of home plate, which he did.I'm not sure this is actually true. I looked in the rulebook for something to suggest that, but got nothing.That said, it's the way the game has been called since I've been watching, and probably long before, so there's not much sense in arguing it.

leopard88 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Wow. Ichiro was clearly out of the base path there. I should have been called out.Not at home plate there is no basepath at home plate, as long as he stays in the vacinity of home plate, which he did.Where is this in the rules? I know you almost never see a runner called out for leaving the basepath at home plate, but I've never seen anything in the rules that says that that should be the case.

FiddySicks Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Big day for Bay Area baseball. Both the Giants and A's need to come up huge today or my hopes of a repeat of 89 could be dashed in 3 games.

NEW.ERA Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I just find it kinda cool that the Giants and Athletics are playing on the same day, in gigantic games, just a few miles away from one another. Hope both can get back in this thing. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 They're not actually playing close to each other. A's are back in Oakland, Giants are in Cincy.Similarly, Baltimore is now off to NY, while the Nationals are in DC. Funny how that worked out.

Kramerica Industries Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Even under the prior format, they would've never been in the same city.A's would've been home for 1, 2, and 5, and the Giants for 3, 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
