The only two teams to make me remotely nervous during a Mo save attempt right now are Boston and the Orioles.

Same for me as well.

 

[jman2050]

Any time now Papelbon.

 

[darkside31337]

Papelbon is so obnoxious.

 

[jman2050]

*throws three balls, strikes out batter*

 

[darkside31337]

Unbelievable. Jays suck so bad.

 

[jman2050]

lol Lind

 

[Brinbe]

DAT LAWRIE!

 

[darkside31337]

LAWRIE!!!!!!!!!!

7 back now, BELIEVE.

 

[jman2050]

Brett Lawrie is pretty awesome.

Rays not dead yet...

 

[Sanjuro]

Walk offs should be taken out of baseball. Disgraceful.

 

[Y2Kev]

if the rays were to knock bahstan out, that'd be hilarious

i wonder if adrian gonzalez is capable of crying

Would be even more hilarious if the underdog wild card Boston knock off the Division Champions in the postseason.

The Red Sox would have to beat the Rangers first then. Good luck with that.

 

[Sanjuro]

The Red Sox would have to beat the Rangers first then. Good luck with that.

Yankees would have to beat the Tigers first then. Good luck with that.

 

[hemtae]

The Red Sox would have to beat the Rangers first then. Good luck with that.

And the Yanks would have to not shit the bed against the Tigers

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

With the way Fister is pitching, a one and two punch of Verlander and Fister with a nice Tigers lineup will be tough to beat.

 

[jman2050]

Texas and Detroit are seperated by one game. No one has any idea what the final AL playoff seedings will end up being.

We would have to beat time first then. Good luck with that.

I love how everyone just assumes the Angels are dead

 

[jman2050]

I love how everyone just assumes the Angels are dead

Yeah that too.

LAA winning tonight would make things quite interesting again.

 

[Square Triangle]

Fister with 13ks. Holy shit. And Verlander pitches in two days. This series is wrapped up /huge grin

 

[Adam Blade]

The Angels are done. No way they're going to be able to catch up to Texarse.

 

[Sanjuro]

League should do something about the pitcher delay between pitches, but the issue involves the batter just as much as it does the pitcher.

 

[Square Triangle]

Oh and..

Fister > Ubaloldo

Visible clock?

delicious salt.

 

[jman2050]

"Jesus is loose"

Really John Sterling? Really?

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez stated that Julio Teheran or Randall Delgado will be moved to the bullpen after Thursday's double-header against the Mets. Teheran is slated to start Game 1.

 

[ConradCervantes]

With stalwarts such as Betancourt and Wolf (every four days) batting for Milwaukee, ain't no way we losing this division.

 

[h3ro]

BAUSS.

 

[beast786]

I never understood why the pitcher has to spit 10 times before each pitch and the batter to readjust all his accessories after each pitch.

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

Is anyone else ecstatic over Jeter's recent surge as a quality hitter? He's batting nearly .300 again and seems to do it as effortlessly as he's ever done.

What exactly were people crying about? Was it that one AVERAGE season last year? The guy is still one of the best hitters in the game. I can't believe people were begging Joe to replace him or release him from the team. I mean, what the fuck? Can anyone recap what the big deal was? Doesn't every player slump?

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

Why is Michael Kay so insufferable?

Get the fuck out of here, Michael Kay is one of the funniest and most interesting announcers to listen to in ALL of sports. Dude's never played baseball, which allows his appreciation and fanboyism for the sport to show through his commentary. Plus, his banter with Ken Singleton and Paul O'Neall (especially Paul) is absolutely priceless. Always cracking jokes mid-game, never afraid to speak what's on their minds.

Come on, man.

He also has one of the best sport shows in NY atm.

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

Agreed. I don't know why he gets so much hate. He's obviously a HUGE fan of baseball and is enthusiastic to call every single game, day in and day out. Not only that, but he's quite an intelligent and well-spoken guy, which helps when you're a commentator. lol

 

[talisayNon]

no, he's shit. clean out your ears. yankee announcers are godamn embarrassments for the franchise.

 

[Y2Kev]

It's not BA, it's like...everything. LD% took a nosedive and looked really bad.

Don't know what's happened to him this year (well, this second half).

Let me guess, you'd rather listen to the mundane shits on ESPN, right?

 

[JABEE]

How is that not a strike?

 

[ConradCervantes]

Dude is irritating during minute-long clips on MLB.com, I can't imagine what it'd be like to listen to nine full innings of Kay.

 

[Maxim726X]

So we can get a glimpse of our demise? Sweet.

 

[Windu]

looks fine to me

edit: this game is about to be out of reach.

 

[captmcblack]

Michael Kay is good, only because he's not as bad as John Sterling (whose lone redeeming quality are his trademark HR calls).

The thing that has escaped the Yankees throughout most of their history is a definitive, excellent "Voice of the Yankees" on TV and radio. The only one is Scooter Rizzuto.

I really like Cone, Leiter, O'Neill and Singleton - they call the game well, and they are very, VERY knowledgeable about the game. Plus, without some trademark thing they do while calling the game, their only focus is to tell the viewer exactly what's going on...good shit.


Finally, I understand why the call is "Jesus is loose" - because anything, ANYTHING, that even quasi-evoked any of the obvious excellent religious puns that could be made would result in a torrent of lawsuits or protests or whatever that would end Sterling's career.

 

[Windu]

well that was a fun game

 

[Y2Kev]

Montero looks skinnier now than he did in ST.

 

[Malo]

"Jesus is loose"

Really John Sterling? Really?

Wat. I have to listen to his home run call now.

 

[Jubs]

Derek Lowe is a loser. I can't believe we have this guy for another year.

 

[h3ro]

He also has one of the best sport shows in NY atm.

I think that says more about the state of NY sports radio than it does about how good Kay's show is. I enjoy listening to Salvia every now and then, though. I don't think the show anything special and Kay does have a propensity to talk down to his listeners.

Boomer/Carton? Dudebro frat nonsense.
Mike & Mike? Bland and safe, toeing the company line.
Fatcessa? Good for the occasional rant and dumb callers.
Lupica? Don't really mind the show, nothing special.
Cowherd? NO.

Stephen A/Tierney were good together a few years back.


*pours some out for Max Kellerman on 1050*

Boomer and Carton are too funny but they don't spend a lot of time on sports. Michael Kay's show is the best rite now. I rarely agree with Kay but LeGreca is awesome. Stephen A. Smith is also great at 7 pm.

 

[Y2Kev]

I like Evan Roberts sometimes.

Can't stand Carton.
