Not as bad as the Cubbies

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

Better to buy one than not get one at all. ;)

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

And better to buy 27 than to buy only 4.

For that matter, better to LOSE 13 of 40 than lose 7 of 11. :r

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

BTW, while we're on the subject:

Strike Three! Ball game over! Yankees win, theeeeeeee YANK-ees WIN!!


:D

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

You guys bought all 27 eh?:r:r

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

Hey, is it their fault Boston sold The Babe south for 25 grand? :D

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

lol nope!:r

Check this out Thomas, a Bob Sheppard bit I think you'd get a laugh out of:

:r :cl

That's a riot! Maybe you out there in the boonies don't know it, but Bob Sheppard is STILL introducing Number 2, Derek Jeter, Jeter at Yankee Stadium, even though he's been dead for 4 years. Yeah, for Jeets and Jeets alone, they play a tape, so this is the LAST year since 1951 his voice will be heard in The Bronx . . . until maybe Old Timer's Day. :D

I also like the Jets/Giants part. This is a long-time Giants town, but the Jets built their multi-zillion dollar facility a pistol shot away. Man, did we have fun with the Sanchez/Tebow circus! :r

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

Will be sad to see Jeter go.

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

Yes, though it's not as bad for me as when I saw Mattingly go. At least Jeter's going on his own terms, and not because he feels he can't perform due to injury.

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

Wow, I wasn't jumping on the Yankees at all, and you're jumping my chit. :r

Oh well....last year is last year, and the past is the past. We'll see who is in the playoffs in about 8 weeks. ;)

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

Nah, I don't think I'll see ya there . . . meaning I might see ya there, but you won't see ME there. Still, we'll put up a heck of a fight.

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

Tigers get the win in the 12th inning. Price pitched pretty well for a N.D. I watched about the 1st through 6th innings. Missed the rest then caught the bottom of the 12th.

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

Avila finally did something good again. :)

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

I've heard of no-trade clauses, but this skirts collusion.

David Lennon is a liar!

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

Could be. Could be true. Could be we'll find out. Could be we never will.

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

Could be the Tigers bullpen is sh!tting their pants once again. :hn

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

Could be my Yanks beat 2 of your Cy Young pitchers, and slapped a ND on the 3rd. :D

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

That's what the Red Sox did, oh wait that was the post season on the way to winning the world series :D Never mind continue on.

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

Indeed, but it was lack of support rather than poor pitching by any of the 3. I guess you could say that my Tigers beat the 27 time world champs on Tuesday. :D

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

Pitching was very good from those 3, just as pitching was slightly better from my starting rotation patched together with spit and scotch tape. And unlike many guys, I can't complain about our bullpen much.

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

Detroit pitching was great again today. Porcello scattered 9 hits with no walks over 7 innings, giving up only one run.

Greene gave up zero runs over 8, Robertson got his 31st save, and Yanks take 3 of 4 from Tigers. Who needs Cy Young anyway? :D

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

A great series for the Yankees, but I was pretty happy with the pitchers from Motown, think it will serve them well moving forward.

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

Tigers pitched well, Tom.
I think I read they pitched to an 0.99 ERA during the series.
Facing the rotation the way it was set up, I would've been more than thrilled with a split.
Though the Yanks fared better, they didn't exactly blow the Tigers away.

I was shocked to see just how pitiful the Tigers lineup is without Miggy.
When you take him out, you just don't lose his bat, but nobody else slots correctly in the order.
Kind of odd to see that from one of the favorites.
Oh, and Detroit's bullpen still blows! :D

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

They blow harder than an Irish hooker on St. Patty's Day, Dom! :lr

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

And nearly as often too. :D

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

They all have multiple Derek Jeter gift bags. ;)

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

Fixed it for you, Tom. :D

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

I'd be willing to bet it was both, Thomas. :noon

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

With a 2-ball count, he's looking for something down in the zone he can put good wood on and slap into the gap.

And maybe we can get back to baseball again soon too. :D

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

9th inning comeback for the Tigers, they really needed it.

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

9th inning rally by Indians doesn't get past a threat, and Yanks take another pitcher's duel, 10-6.

Cleveland uses 7 pitchers, but NY only 6.

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

Scherzer goes 8 innings on 4 hit, 1 run ball.

Nathan comes in for the 9th and blows it.

Looks like the Tigers need complete games from their starters to win. The bullpen is a joke.

Better load up in the 10th, as goodness only knows how chitty the next reliever will pitch.

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

Indians shut out Yankees 3-0, and allow only 5 hits over 9 innings. But that's not the story. One of those hits was a single by Derek Jeter in the 6th, which put him ahead of Honus Wagner all-time at 3431, and sole possession of 6th place in hit leaders.

Jeets would need to get red-hot over the next 6 weeks to challenge Tris Speaker (3515) for #5 all-time, and I don't expect that to happen. But I do expect he'll keep swinging.

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

I ruled the hit an error, so Jeter is still tied with Honus in my world. :)

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

:tg :fu2 :bs


;)

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

Sure hope Jeter can pass Wagner today. :noon:

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

I expect Jeter will get a few more hits before he's done. I also suspect Honus will not. :D

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

But will Jeter's baseball card ever be more valuable than Honus'? I'll bet that gets Homus laid all the time. :)

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

The famous Gretzky T206 card last sold for $2.8 million. How many times could Jeter buy it? :r

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

Many times, with a reacharound and a gift basket with every purchase. :lr

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

Tigers slip out of first and lose Verlander in the same game. I heard from an unofficial source he had been feeling shoulder pain for some time but just now admitted it to trainers.

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

Sanchez, Verlander, Soria down.

We got trouble, right here in Detroit City, with a capital T, and that rhymes with P, and that stands for pitching.

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

Valverde is available, Tom.
Maybe he can start?
Time to break out your Papa Grande jersey! :D

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

David Phelps, Michael Pineda, Masahiro Tanaka, CC Sabathia, Ivan Nova.

My heart bleeds for Detroit. :rolleyes:

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

Not to mention Miggy has something going on too. No power as of late and average slipping. Rumors are he may be injured. However, he's been running and fielding well. Not sure what the truth is there.

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

Mr. Big Potato Head jersey on the ready, Dom.

I know, Thomas, the Yankees are always better/worse off/more persecuted/blah blah blah than any other team. Oh, the weight of that cross. :lr

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
 

Easy for you to say, Tom.
