StrangeSox Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 This game is almost unwatchable. How does this team hold its own against Roy Halladay but consistently gets shut down by garbage pitchers year after year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as Greg Walker's not around when the new batch of players join the majors, that's all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 1, 2009 -> 07:34 PM) Good swing JD. It was close. Where's Jack McDowell, he usually did good fill-ins. What ever happened to Pratt? He met Black Jack. I wonder if he's crashing at his house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paint it Black Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 1, 2009 -> 07:35 PM) I'm downtown. AM radio comes in horribly or I'd be listening to DJ. I'm downstate with no viable radio signal unless I sit in my car for 3 hours. And to echo, 1 hit off Scott Feldman. Bad. Bad. Bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be (insert team)talk. I'm pretty sure the threads would be the same. Everyone gets frustrated. The game is designed that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BamaDoc Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Bring us your tired your hungry your rag arm pitcher who throws slop. We will rescue him and make him feel like a king. We do so much better vs hard throwers than mixers, or soft tossers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 1, 2009 -> 07:40 PM) Maybe it's just too hot out. This team really hits well when its 73.4* with 46% humidity and a 10-12 MPH SW wind. That's when the bats really come alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Yankees are dangerous if their starters go deep (much like every other team). But their pen has been exposed by Wang being awful. They don't carry a long man.

But their pen has been exposed by Wang being awful. They don't carry a long man. They spent a fortune on every position besides their bullpen, when they could have received Juan Cruz for cheap. The Yanks draft pick doesn't really matter, as they're always able to get higher end guys who fall due to signability issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
