Six straight wins for the Yankees, despite a whole slew of injuries. Not bad, especially with the two beat downs of Bostons best pitchers

Mets, Mets, Mets!!

Any win at this point is great

Angels win on a walk-off grand slam by Kendry Morales...and he breaks his leg celebrating at home plate. BONEHEAD!!!!!!

MedicCook · 05-29-2010, 09:40 PM

Almost forgot...wait, I intentionally didn't say anything about Docs perfect game because he is a Phillie.

ANd the Yankees bullpen managed to fall apart.

VirtualSmitty · 06-02-2010, 01:55 PM

Gotta say, surprising year so far. Yanks still behind Tampa, the Reds still in front of St Louis, San Diego still on top in their division, Atlanta ahead of Philly, Texas and Oakland in front of Anaheim, two perfect games and a no hitter already. Hot damn, wonder what the trading deadline is gonna look like.

Draft coming up soon as well. I wonder where the wonder kid Bryce Harper will go, will be interesting to see if the Nats use their pick on him.

Very curious to see who ends up with Harper. I would say the Nats, but the fact that the kid has Boras as an agent...

Indeed. They had to pay Strasbourg fifteen million I think, and they are going to need some cash to resign Dunn and Willingham after the year if they want to have any offense go forward. Don't know if they have the money, but he could be hard to pass up. Best hitting catcher prospect since Mauer. I doubt the Pirates would sign him either, Baltimore at number three already has a pretty good young catcher, maybe KC or the Indians if they are willing to pony up some cash.

Cleveland has a cathing prospect in Triple A and will be called up very soon...Carlos Santana. I agree, Pirates will not drop the kind of money he will be asking. And with Weiters, Baltimore won't take him. KC might be his destination. I would love to see him go to the Nats and catch Strasbourg. I don't believe they will re-sign Dunn...he glove is garbage...but damn his bat is sexy!! Would LOVE for my Mets to grab him...but he wil not be around that late.

Sad day for MLB umpire Jim Joyce....even sadder day for Armando Galarraga. This young Detroit Tigers pitcher PITCHED a perfect game against the Indians tonight only to have out 27 blown on a terrible call by Joyce (an otherwise outstanding umpire). Loved how Joyce stood and took his ass-chewing from Jim Leyland aftger the final out. Was classic!!!

He really blew it, Galaragga had a perfect game.

Joyce sure didn't appreciate the earfull he was getting from Miguel Cabrera between pitches after the fact. I go back forth about replay in baseball (other than HR's) and this play kind of pushed me over to the replay side of the fence. Even on a close call, which that wasn't, you'd think the umpire would error on the side of the pitcher given the fact he had already went 26 outs.

BTW - the play by Austin Jackson in center was freaking OUTSTANDING, but now will be overlooked since it wasn't a perfect game.

MedicCook · 06-02-2010, 09:09 PM

Jim Joyce admitted after the game that he blew the call after seeing the replay. Even if it was a bang bang play for the 27th out to end a perfect game the call HAS to go to the defense.

MedicCook · 06-02-2010, 10:05 PM

The MLB crew has the right idea for replay to work in baseball. It will require a 5th umpire with the immediate replays who can send a change of call down to the crew chief. No sending umpires off the field to look at the replay. It will allow for replay without the delay.

I'm all for replay in MLB as long as it doesn't delay the game too much. And definetly not for use of balls & strikes.

Starscream · 06-03-2010, 06:36 AM

Galaraga knows in his heart that he did it. He's a class act by saying nothing to Joyce after that bad call. He merely smiled. I would have probably hit the ump for that call.

Totally agree.

The umpire was a jackass merely for the fact that even if it was a close call to him, anyone in their right mind would have given the benefit of the doubt to a pitcher for which that was the last out for a perfect game.

Truly a shame.
