there's really no way i'm going to believe that alexei is a below average or even average defender

unless a lot of stats say the same thing. and even then.

Yes, did a nice piece of hitting on the looping curve

not a hanger really, but not a good one either.

by madvillian on Jul 26, 2008 6:29 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Absolutely would love runs....

but this is a solid start….we have made Verlander work through the first the first two….very unlike his start against us in June when he breezed.

by stanchar on Jul 26, 2008 6:28 PM CDT   0 recs

yes..

but he usually does struggle against us

you get what you wish for

quit playin’ with your special powers yo

He was a catcher with the Orioles back in the day. Sorry looking (expletive). My brother had his card. He looked like this little kid who got left at a bus station by his parents. You know why? Because he had to catch Hoyt Wilhelms knuckle ball five (expletive) years.

Yankees within 1.5 of Boston and 2.5 of the Rays

I follow them pretty close now that I live in NYC. They have really been fielding some stars and scrubs lineups, as well as throwing guys like Sidney Ponson out there in the rotation.

can’t believe they’ve been winning as much as they have. Although the trade they just made puts them right back in the thick of it talent wise.

well, that wasnt' the pitch he was looking for on 0-2.

I’m not sure why you’d ever throw Sheffield a fastball in that count, as quick as his bat is.

he's not the old sheffield

but…he was way out in front of that fastball. it was kinda scary.
