See what you're missing Teix?!?!! Don't you wish you signed in Baltimore for $40M less than the Yankees offered so you could play in front of these great fans who don't even fucking show up to the second game of the season? Hey Baltimorons, you just lost your "Make Fun Of Rays Fans" card.
I'm pretty sure I know what side of the Erik Bedard trade I'd take at this point.
Relax guys, this was just a clever ploy by Wang to to take the focus off of CC Sabathia.

If hypothetical Team A went 3/19 with runners in scoring position in two simulated games, Team A theoretically wouldn't deserve to win those games.
The fact that they let a fucking mascot dance around on top of the dugout at Camden Yards really negates some of that "Retro Ballpark" clout.
Funny, I don't think we'll see headlines in the Rags tomorrow about how the demise of Derek Jeter was greatly exaggerated. Like actual knee-jerk reactions, the ones that appear in print only go in one direction.
If there is one bright spot in this unfortunate event, it's that Teixeira didn't end the game and head into tomorrow 0-9.
Congrats on your first major league victory, Koji Uehara. I'll check back in July when you are 3-6 with a 5.23 ERA.

Somehow, this defeat is a little easier to swallow for me than yesterday's, although it should technically be twice as hard to, right? Anyone else?

I would rather take Monday's game. At least the Yanks were in it until the 7th and I didn't turn it off when it was 7-1 and bitch to Will about how the game sucked.
ReplyDeleteThe Yankees are on pace to go 0-162.
ReplyDeleteBut on the bright side I would like to point out that Derek Jeter is on pace to hit .556, 81 HR, and 162 RBIs and have 81 stolen bases on 81 attempts.
Joe - I think I have a soft spot for CMW. I can't really get that pissed when he has a bad outing. His ball was moving... just not down. The late rally also represents a moral victory and they sort of ended on a high note, if there such a thing in a loss.
ReplyDeleteBWS - JETER FOR MVP!!! You heard it here first.
Traditionally sinker-ball pitchers don't do well when the ball doesn't sink. You can pretty much attribute all of Wang's bad outings to this phenomenon. (To Jay) I like how you pointed out the fact that the only productive hitter on the team is the lead-off hitter who every baseball expert in the U.S. spent their offseason trashing due to his "declining" stats...
ReplyDeleteWang doesn't do well against Baltimore either. I also never really get pissed at Wang--Pettitte either--because they are homegrown and not mercenaries.
ReplyDeleteGreat move to bring Jeter to the leadoff position; too bad nobody can bring him in.
I'm new to the blog but a couple of things...1) I flippin' love it 2) I live in Washington now and have to deal with the Baltimore feed and commentators so you may not have seen this on YES but, after Uehara's first pitch they froze on his hand to show how he grips the ball. The only thing I could focus on was his incredibly well manicured fingers and I spent the rest of the game wondering if he had a matching pedicure.
ReplyDeleteJust something that may interest only me.
Laura,
ReplyDeleteYou should email Cliff, he is also every interested in men's manicures and pedicures.
Hey, Fuck You Pal. If your team was as badly managed as the O's and lost for as long as we have you wouldn't pay the gate either.
ReplyDeleteSure, but I also wouldn't boo Mark Teixeira if I did.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't boo him either. Its not Teixeira's fault that Angelos made it impossible for a star to want to play in what used to be a great franchise. Who wouldn't want to take a multi-million dollar pay cut and lose for the foreseeable future?
