Around SBN: Chan Sung Jung Wins Thriller Over Dustin Poirier

Gameday Thread: O's at Yankees, 04/07

HEY YANKEES. SUCK IT.

It's a Friday night/very early Saturday morning, and I'm pretty well drunk. I had a good night of tequila and beer, and I'm still going strong. What? The Yankees suck.

Anyhoo, I fell off in last night's comments, but let me say how PSYCHED I am to see Baez and Ray close those chumps out, and a tough effort from JAMIE WALKER, BOY. I thought Loewen could have gone another inning, and Parrish still makes me uncomfortable, but we won. WE WON. Damn, it feels good to be a gangsta.

Let's welcome Kei Igawa to Yankee Stadium with a severe thrashing. You go get 'em, Trachsel, because Jaret Wright is already scaring the bejsus out of me. If Guthrie moves into the rotation, he'll have to take one of their spots, and Wright has already been bad enough to get me on the Guthrie train, though I think little of Jeremy Guthrie to begin with.

Who dat talkin bout beatin dem Orioles? We're going to the playoffs. F you, Mussina.

There's nothing sweeter than beating Mussina and the Yankees in New York. While drinking tequila.

c'mon trax...
you befuddled old man!

by jq higgins on Apr 7, 2007 8:11 AM EDT reply actions  

I don't get it...
But why are we starting Trashman today?  Wouldn't it make sense to only start him when you absolutely need to?  Seeing that we had an off-day Thursday, why not put Bedard out there?   I don't seem any reason to start your #5 anymore than you have to.
Tanner Boyle: Hey Yankees... you can take your apology and your trophy and shove 'em straight up your ass!

by BirdFanInPhilly on Apr 7, 2007 9:42 AM EDT reply actions  

Yeah
People have been pissed about this for a while.  If they had read Amazon's #89,087,567 bestseller "Perlozzo on Strategy" they would understand the wisdom behind it.  It's explained after the six chapters on bunting.  

But, back to reality, again I have to quote Ricky Roma in Glengarry Glen Ross and remind Sammy that "Your job is to help us, not to fuck us up."  

Maybe it'll get through this time.

by Jonnypops on Apr 7, 2007 9:50 AM EDT up reply actions  

Bedard
I can't believe Bedard isn't going today. If Trachsel gets hammered, and Bedard beats Rasner, the Orioles would have had a chance to sweep the Bombers on the road! SWEET!

by Baseball Savant @ Camden Chat on Apr 7, 2007 10:11 AM EDT reply actions  

Yes, but
While it makes sense to skip Tracshel, it would mean that Jaret Wright would start the O's home opener on Monday. And since I'll be there, I'm not so bummed. What? I'm selfish.

by Stacey on Apr 7, 2007 10:59 AM EDT reply actions  

It's a plan, man
Tracshel purposefully looked super duper awful in spring training so when he looks only marginally awful in the regular season the fans will be pleasantly surprised that his marginally bad pitching isn't as bad as the super duper bad pitching that we expected.

Look, I hate seeing BJ in a Blue Jays jersey as much as anyone.

But did the O's offer him anything REMOTELY close to teh $$$$ Toronto signed him for?

Didn't think so.

Capitalism's a bitch, man.

Chris Ray is the MAN - This WILL NOT be debated.

RE: Yeah
but we're fans, we don't need to be logical about these sorts of things.  Heck, I'm still pissed at Mussina and Maier is still probably the most evil person to ever be born.

to Castillo
Castillo: v - in beer league softball, whereas one team cannot field the required amount of players, usually nine, thereby forfeiting an automatic out when the ninth batter would have come to the plate. More commonly - "to Castillo".

Trax just went 1-2-3 that inning.

Been listening to Yankee radio on the road
To hear them tell it, the Igawa was a bit snakebit. Struck out Roberts before the walk, a bloop double that wasn't much of a hit, Posada needed a couple inches, and "this would be a different game".

Matsui out with a strained left hammy, Damon out, Wang out, Jeter aching. My heart pumps piss and vinegar.

They have sung Trachsel a little bit of praise for being a wily veteran, moving pitches, changing speed. Can't really comment there.

Come on O's, nine more outs.

He won't do it again. That is the furthest and fastest you will ever see Millar run without a situation that involves beer, fried chicken or large-breasted woman.
