then we can be thankful. especially because
1) bradley or hammy won’t get injured
2) it puts a runner on base for bradley or hammy

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

giving an average team and average grade? wtf?
i will say that for a team that finished 75-87 to be 3 games above .500 AND playing a bunch of players in their early to mid 20’s, that should be a B- at least. especially when that’s the grade the Yankees have (actually the yanks are .500)

it makes no difference where he plays. either way he’s not as good as those others, so he’s not the best hitter of course. i think it shows that hamilton is great at home and average on the road. bradley is a god at home and good on the road.

That means he gets a hit 26% of the time and makes an out 74% of the time. Granted, it doesn’t take into account things like fielder’s choices, sac flys, walks, etc., but that’s pretty much accurate.

I'm sure he meant when the ball is put in play.

Do you really think
he was talking about BABIP??? It was just a brain fart on Tag’s part

freakin Mendoza
just when I was starting to come around on him…I mean, blame Kinsler’s error sure, but come on
"No, Donny, these men are nihilists, there's nothing to be afraid of."
Mendoza got his 3 outs.
The team failed him.

I would hardly call a hard hit ball to the 2nd basemen
A sucky at-bat
by SaltyGoesYard on Jul 2, 2008 7:12 PM CDT up reply actions
He swung at the first pitch, and grounded it to second for a double play
That’s a sucky at-bat. Marlon Byrd does it all the time.

No
Thats a sucky result.
Big difference.
by SaltyGoesYard on Jul 2, 2008 7:14 PM CDT up reply actions
and if he hits it a couple feet to the right and its a hard hit single to right
its a great at bat?
2 games over 500 please.
Not really
That would just be a better result. But getting up there and hacking at the first pitch is Marlon Byrd/Michael Young schtick, and if we don’t like seeing that from them, well…

his face hit the proverbial franchise wall?

MY grabbing his groin?
Or did his hand just happen to be placed there?

they just showed a quick clip of the guys coming into the dugout after the last inning...

Who is hated more?
Brett Gardner or David Eckstein?

Brett Gardner. No doubt.

Come on guys
I want to see the offense make Sidney Ponson their bitch. At the very least, make sure he doesn’t get the W.
"My keyboard is a Yankees fan" - Whipsmart
Of course Ponson absorbed it
The guy has his own gravitational pull there.

Nice hit and run.
I think Boggs would have been safe either way, but still, well executed.

Do you think...
the Yankees need another switch hitting catcher who can’t throw out runners?
"I know you're a bit dense but no, it doesn't. Obviously lying isn't a problem for me."
Well, that was a fucking advanture
Right before the HR, I get a knock at the door. It’s the back neighbor telling em there’s a snake in the back yard. so, of course, the inside cat bolts out the door to a part of the yard where I can’t really reach… just when I’m about to get her, she gets out of my reach and then goes through a hole in the fence.
It took from then until now to track her down and get her back into the house.
The pic doesn't come out til he gets on base at least
usually not if someone is clogging in front too, but since we need some runs off Ponson I’ll throw it out there.

Can't steal when Boggs is on second...
Well, unless it’s a double steal, and with Ponson on the mound that’s probably not a good idea…

Gosh...
we are smacking the crap out of Ponson, but it’s right at fielders

You could put Ponson in a garbage compactor
And he wouldn’t look any slimmer.

Guess Vazquez has forgotten how to play short
You feed your second baseman on that play, especially with Abreu running.

Did the boys stay up too late celebrating last night's win?
They seem to be asleep out there in the field

well if this game gets out of hand
at least we might get to see warner madrigal.
2 games over 500 please.

this makes me nervous
"I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it." - Mitch Hedberg
You know
Even when the defense screw up, the pitcher has got to get that extra out irregardless. Mendoza can’t seem to do that.
