RKMBs Forums .::Robegories::. Sports and Wrestling hows bout those yankees for 2007 - cuz no other team matters

Thanks, Chris Oakley. You cunt.

Yanks won again last night and need to go 21-8 the rest of the way.

they're up 2-0 now, on two cano homers

joe, whatcha think is the deal with manny? good to rest him, or should he push to play?

Manny is notorious for shutting himself down, so my first instinct is to get him out there. On the other hand, he's been a good soldier all season. I'd say rest him through the weekend and see what happens. I think him needing 10 days is bullshit, though.

We shoulda made the deal for Dye. We could've found playing time for him.

he definitely seems like a whiner. but im fine with him taking a few days off, even in this series, since the bosox are still so many games up.

however, yeah, 10 seems retarded.

Yanks just won 5-0 and swept the Red Sox! They are 5 games back behind Boston and need to go 20-8 the rest of the way.

game just ended, yanks won 5-0. jimmy wang pitched great as usual. joba came in during the 9th, but was ejected. can't really tell why since i'm only "watchin" via the MLB site.

yanks really needed to sweep this series. taking 2 outta 3 simply wasn't good enough, as it only gains a single game. they really played well the whole time, too, with everyone pitching in at random points. not bad.

they ejected Joba 'cause he threw over Youkilis' head twice. meanwhile years ago in every Red Sox game jeter got hit and they never threw anyone out.

they didn't even warn Joba.....it was kind of fucked up. But seeing how we won who really gives a shit.

were pitchers previously warned? or was someone else hit? that doesn't make any sense to throw a guy out after no warning, and no contact.

nobody was warned an no one was hit.....even Youkilis was puzzled as to why they yhrew Joba out. It made no sense. Basically the ump fucked up.....but they never go back and say I fucked up and reverse calls in baseball.

they're scumbags, those ump$

Ever since they first started cracking down on throwing inside (pussies), most of the time umps have issued a warning after the first HBP (unless it was very obviously malicious and/or caused injury) and ejected everyone who plunks a batter after that point, unless it was very obviously a pitch that really did get away from them. And that really isn't that hard for me to believe anymore.

More and more guys are trying to cultivate harder sliders and bigger slurves after seeing the success those quicker breaking balls have brought to guys like Roy Oswalt or more recently Daisuke Matsuzaka, but not everyone has the chops to keep said pitches under control. Many a B-list or below righty has hit lefty pull hitters (who frequently crowd the plate just a little to get ahold of stuff away), and vice versa, because they haven't spent enough of their bullpen sessions on breaking balls to iron out their mechanics. There's milliseconds of timing and infinitesimal nuances of muscle memory involved in painting the corner, and a lot of the time you'll see tired starters or cold relievers just lose track of their release point.

Anyway, it's really easy to jump the gun (ESPECIALLY with BoSox/Yankee$) and assume every HBP or near-miss is intentional, but it isn't always. Pitching is always at a premium in baseball, and a lot of guys who get called up are under so much pressure to perform that they sometimes throw pitches they haven't polished enough to use at this level yet. It's easy to think that your favorite player on your favorite team was plunked intentionally or thrown at intentionally, and sometimes umps jump to the same conclusion. Just my two cents.

Yeah, there should have been a warning - but there wasn't. And there wasn't any contact. If he was trying to hit or buzz Youkilis, Joba seems to have some definite control issues that he should try to iron out in his next bullpen session. But it's just as likely that he wasn't, and that the ump blew the call. In fact, I'm leaning toward the latter.

cough*1978*cough

Yanks of course had a let down while playing a shitty team and lost to Tampa Bay last night and need to go 20-7 the rest of the way.

at least the bosox lost. but, yeah, the yankees should be winning against the rays -- particularly after coming off of a sweep-high . today's game was much better.

I concur.

Yanks won yesterday and need to go 19-7 the rest of the way.

Yanks lost to the Rays again and need to go 19-6 the rest of the way.

Yanks lost to Seattle today and need to go 19-5 the rest of the way.

Oakley says no way can they do it.

very depressing losses lately.

they're playing quite poorly.

Yanks won yesterday and need to go 18-5 the rest of the way.

won again today to go up 3 in the wildcard race. back to 6 behind the (scumbag, pieces of shit) bosox.

aroid (thats not bad) hit two homers in the seventh inning

and i actually think this is really funny:

Yanks won and need to go 17-5 the rest of the way.

Yanks beat KC yesterday 3-2 and need to go 16-5 the rest of the way.

...um...

No, I don't think they were juicers.

roger maris hit 50 one more time ...and died!


anyway, the reason i found this retarded



is because they forgot babe ruth. difficult, i know. he's only the most famous ball player of all time, and he only hit 50 or more 4 times. still.

Yanks won last night and need to go 15-5 to win the division!

Yanks won today and need to go 14-5 the rest of the way.

in a real civil war, i'm with pjp

me too!





Red Sox lost last night!
