Damn, what a difference a week makes. The Royals were on everyone's power rankings and had been dancing with the Tigers for #1 all year. Now, after getting ransacked by the O's and Yankees and going 1-6 for the week, we're out of the conversation this morning.

Hopefully this week against the Angels/A's/Astro's can be an opportunity to get back in the game. We ARE only two games out of first, still.

 

[eznark]

I blame that stupid fucking hashtag.

Ike Davis hit chart w/ 2 strikes...

Miggy's PEDs

how much vodka is in that?

 

[Zep]

Enough to make you choke your wife or girlfriend.

 

[eznark]

Gardner is such a spark plug for this scrappy little Yankees team

Never thought I could say this playing against a Yankees team, but who are these people?

 

[Branduil]

how much vodka is in that?

It's mild, so... none?

 

[sangreal]

anyone know how long the intermission is between games?

 

[Dominican Power]

Kipnis was getting nothing but junk the whole at bat and still falls for the same pitch. lol

 

[Opiate]

Finally a genuinely bad outing from an STL starter. I was getting tense waiting for the other shoe to drop.

 

[alr1ght]

Don't bring in Chris Perez, please.

 

[ToxicAdam]

anyone know how long the intermission is between games?

Only like 30 minutes. They'll probably stick to the 3:35 start time if it ends early though.

Don't bring in Chris Perez, please.

The Indians are going to score 3 runs here and make it a moot point ... please.

 

[sangreal]

Only like 30 minutes. They'll probably stick to the 3:35 start time if it ends early though.

cool, thanks. Don't think I've watched a straight double-header before

 

[Y2Kev]

I blame the rainouts for this.

Masterson looks huge. Was he always this big?

Never thought I could say this playing against a Yankees team, but who are these people?

hell if i know

 

[ToxicAdam]

Masterson is on my fantasy bench today.


::kicks over chair::

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Masterful!

Nice to get a break from work to see we won game one. Complete game, awesome stuff. Also great to see some fans actually go to the game!

47 degrees though. They said about 30 to 40 minutes til game two.

 

[G-Fex]

Every new OOTP is the best baseball game ever. Not counting the shitty iOS ones.

yeah I got one for the iOS and it isn't nearly as good as the PC version

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Don't bring in Chris Perez, please.

They showed up warming up too. Haha. Bet you're happy.

 

[captmcblack]

Weaksauce...couldn't muster anything against Masterson.

Hopefully the sticks take it out on B. Rabbit tonight.

 

[weekend_warrior]

+ or - zero runs scored the Yankees in game 2?

 

[Lee Chaolan]

+ or - zero runs scored the Yankees in game 2?

It'll be interesting. His last outing Bauer only gave up one hit, had like 7 strikeouts but 5 walks and 0 runs allowed, or a similar card.

I think due to the weather being cold as hell there, neither team scored more than 3. I can't see a shootout suddenly, different pitchers or not.

 

[sangreal]

+ or - zero runs scored the Yankees in game 2?

I'll take the over

 

[Doogdogg]

It's amazing, in 52 career inning pitch against the Yankees, he has held them homerless.

 

[sangreal]

CF Brett Gardner
3B Jayson Nix
DH Robinson Cano
LF Vernon Wells
1B Lyle Overbay
RF Ben Francisco
2B Corban Joseph
SS Alberto Gonzalez
C Austin Romine

I think this lineup is even worse than Game 1. If I had to pick between two automatic outs, I'll take Ichiro over Francisco any day

 

[cashman]

Masterson is on my fantasy bench today.


::kicks over chair::

This is why I never bench pitchers unless they go on the DL

 

[3N16MA]

At least Phelps had a solid game. Trying to pull something positive out of that game.

 

[Dominican Power]

This is why I never bench pitchers unless they go on the DL

Not if they've been sucking.

 

[sangreal]

Pretty sweet gift for Mo's farewell tour: "Enter Sandman" gold record

Pettitte is missing out

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Masterson is on my fantasy bench today.


::kicks over chair::

Now what did we learn today?

Jesus man... I've never even heard of Joseph or Gonzalez. This is almost as bad as the Red Sox from last year.

its crazy. Never seen this from the Yanks. So many unknowns.

 

[Y2Kev]

that was not graceful

 

[eznark]

Jesus man... I've never even heard of Joseph or Gonzalez. This is almost as bad as the Red Sox from last year.

Gonzalez has like 500 games played in the bigs dude.

 

[Y2Kev]

Is the 1B like 2 feet tall? why do they keep doing that lol

 

[Dominican Power]

Good defense Indians

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Come on, we could have pitched Masterson for 18 straight Innings

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Mes talking to Rick Ankiel? Dont do it Sandy, plz dont.

 

[Y2Kev]

Nuno? Uhhh ok

 

[Malo]

Jesus man... I've never even heard of Joseph or Gonzalez. This is almost as bad as the Red Sox from last year.

Gonzalez use to play for the Yankees in '07-'08...

 

[lazybones18]

Reynolds didn't even try

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Reynolds didn't even try

There was absolutely no shot at that play, unless he had a rocket up his ass.

 

[3N16MA]

Go Nuno go

 

[Dominican Power]

Mets sign Rick Ankiel

 

[sangreal]

Nuno is looking good... too bad he is going to hit his pitch limit (75)

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Mets sign Rick Ankiel

and he's starting in CF right away, fuck!
