Cleveland is worthless.
So, I've been messing around with an idea for an iPhone (maybe Android eventually) app, but I could use a little crowd-sourcing to make sure it's fully viable.
If you have any pictures you took with your iPhone (or Android [or hell, WinMo]) at a baseball park, of the field or players, I'd be hugely appreciative if you could send any my way. Wide angle, from high up is great, as are shots from closer to the field. They're all useful for me. Or if you take any in the future, that'd be awesome also.
What I'd use them for is to figure out if the image quality (resolution) and detail (# of players, ballpark surroundings) would be enough to figure out which park a photo was taken at, and what position each person in the photo is playing (using image processing, natch.)
So yeah, if you've got any you can kick my way, up it on imgur.com and PM the links pretty please.

Here's an analogy:
Osama Bin Laden = Philanthropist, Bobby Parnell = Major League closer.

I don't remember him doing this, but I easily could have missed this.TheBranca18 said:
Anyway, is there any prospect closer the Yankees have they can bring up at this point? Clearly Rivera has worn out his welcome in New York. They also need to get Posada back into the lineup. He is the personal catcher of grit.

11.0 K/9, 3.08 xFIP on the season. He's a solid arm that's been through a bad spell of bad luck lately.
Could do a lot worse than that at closer. The Mets have already been doing so through Izzy.
Here is the exact opposite of Yankee fans.
Yankee fans bitching about Rivera. He is the best/one of the best relievers of all time, still effective.
Red Sox fans bitching about Varitek. IN FULL FORCE this morning on the radio. The host, "What are you guys bitching about?! We are in first place!" Argument doesn't apply. I've seen pop-ups since I was a kid...there is nothing unique or special about them. That is all Varitek can do.

Yeah, that angle doesn't really show me much. Looks like he is in mid-slide there. I only caught some of the last few innings of the game from the pub due to working late.TheBranca18 said:
Pedroia is at the bag though, which in most cases I have no problem with. The only time I'm against sliding into the second baseman is when he is attempting to avoid the runner and the runner goes well outside to still try and nail him. That is bush league IMO.

A product of his .373 BABIP more than anything.
Quite honestly I don't give a crap who the closer is as it doesn't mean anything. The bullpen needs an overhaul next season anyway, and whether Parnell is the 7th, 8th or 9th inning guy I don't really care since it doesn't really matter, I think he's a good arm who will be great for us long term.

Actually I just looked up his numbers in save situations, not too shabby. The bullpen has needed an overhaul for the last 4 years. I have faith it'll be in better shape next year, when they have a bit more financial flexibility (billion dollar judgment against, notwithstanding).

Wait he's actually played in August? How many AB's is that .929 based on? 5 ABs?

Who can even catch them? The only team with a shot are the Indians.
It's amazing what coaching / running a team in the AL Central does for your tenure. You could make dumb decision after dumb decision and still survive because everybody else in your division is even dumber.

Then perhaps I misinterpreted the meaning of the phrase bush league. I've always grouped "idiotic and inexperienced" underneath the meaning of the phrase, which was what I thought of the situation. Of course I don't think the guy meant to spike Murphy, he was just called up! Not the smartest way to make a name for yourself.eznark said:
I guess I'm in the minority of Yanks-age when I say that I'm not going nuts after this weekend. We played the Sox tough and sucks how we lost last night, but shit happens and it's only August. You'd think we were 7 back of the WC or something judging by some of the responses in here. Retardi handled the Posada thing great. Dude doesn't have anything left. We were playing great prior to this series and we still haven't gotten this guy back yet...
Evil Empire doesn't concede shit.

Well cooler heads are prevailing today and I am over my whining from last today. ESPN Radio today is really painting the weekend for the Yankees in a positive light though. And you can't really blame Girardi for the weekend either. He pushed the right buttons but they fizzled out on him.

They're both three million games into a playoff berth, so I don't even know what there is to discuss right now. This weekend we learned that they play each other close and take for-fucking-ever. Who knew!

Anybody thinks J Roll was wrong for stealing that base before the fight (Phils/Giants)?

Anything can happen in the playoffs. I'm not sure how many times teams nobody expected to advance through the 1st round and end up winning the WS it takes for people to get that.
I will not doubt a team's ability to win a best of 5 series when Justin Verlander is taking the hill for 2 of those 5 starts.
On a side note, Rangers DFA'd Arthur Rhodes. Guess that bullpen makeover is complete.
