PrintNew York Yankees at Baltimore Orioles, Apr 19, 2008 7:05 PM EDT
Game time is 7:05 on MASN. It's also on YES if you're in the New York area or somewhere else that has YES but not MASN.
| Today's Starting Pitchers | GS | IP | ERA | WHIP | BAA | BB | K | W-L |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ian Kennedy - RH | 2 (3) | 11.1 | 8.74 | 1.94 | .304 | 8 | 9 | 0-1 |
| Brian Burres - LH | 2 (3) | 11.2 | 5.40 | 1.63 | .295 | 6 | 7 | 1-1 |
I'm currently in the middle of a big day in boxing, and I'll be skipping out at 9:45 for Hopkins-Calzaghe, but hopefully by then (like last night) the O's will have this one firmly in control.
We've seen two Brian Burri this season. Burres was good on his birthday and then stunk bad the next time out. Ian Kennedy is a legit prospect, but not the overwhelming variety. Probably won't ever be a huge star. But he Knows How to Pitch and gets by without great stuff because he commands the strike zone and mixes things up like a seasoned veteran. He's older than Hughes at 23, but still quite young. Should Hughes and Kennedy work out, the Yankees have two guys who will be effective for a long time. I'd take either of them over Mike Mussina any day of the week as it stands right now.
Typical Mussina to pitch the day BEFORE the Yanks come to Baltimore, too. What a chump! He and Erik Bedard should go on a date and talk about their greatest fear, that being, of course, the amazingly potent Orioles.
Also, I just think those blue stirrups are SHARP, if you're wondering why I posted that particular photo of Kennedy.

I 2nd that opinion on the sharp blue stirrups
"The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again."
HD tonight baby!!
Watching the game last night in HD was such a big difference. I don’t want to go back to SD on Tuesday!

I could just choke Michael Kay
I mean it. He could say I look very nice today and he thinks I’m a swell guy but I’d want to physically attack him with a shovel.
why do you hate him so much?
i have to listen to him every day on the radio. he can be obnoxious, but he destroys yankee fans when they deserve it too. he can be bearable.
he's a fucking idiot
And he’s the voice of the Yankees. Do I need more reasons? Most Yankee fans deserve to be destroyed so I can’t give him credit for that. He should be smarter than the schmucks that call in and suggest they trade Kennedy and Hughes for Greinke and Bannister.

Back to Michael Kay
What a colossal bag of douche. I just moved out of NY state and can’t say I’m missing the YES network.
I also am in agreement that the Sterling-Waldman combo is a freakin’ tire fire.

Kennedy
Just tickles the strike zone. He is missing a lot but not by much at all. An inch here and there and he is pitching a real good game possibly.
i like ian kennedy a lot
he reminds me of eric o’whatever his name was from seattle.
And Brandon reminds us
why he should not be on the roster

I honestly think that the Yankee fans
Are better than the damn Red Sox fans. When Boston comes they think that they are the hottest shit to hit Baltimore since they came last time.
yeah but
Apparently we had to literally sell the harbor to the Yankee fans, as they invaded and there was not ANYONE down there not in Yankee blue and white.

Yeah I think they were talking about it
Last night on the radio broadcast I was listening to. Since the O’s fans no longer go to games the restaurants and shit rely on the northerners for cash.
I heard it on the TV
From Mr. Michael Kay himself.

who knows?
here was a classic Waldman gem a little while ago:
(after Kranitz was yelling at Burres coming out of the dugout)
“Lou Pinella and Dallas Green are the guys you used to hear all the way in the press box. And if the pitcher was hispanic, you could hear Lou yell at him in hispanic!”
Umm, what language is that exacctly?
That's great stuff
I need to get my Waldman fill at least once a year. It kind of softens the blow of listening to Jim on Masn

I have to say
We really are fans. Reading the Cavaliers blog today when they were losing to the Wiz and now the Yankees blog along with a Golden State blog these guys just trash the ownership without giving them a chance and have complete knee jerk reactions.
“You don’t win titles when "Clowns In Pinstripes." are running the show. Don’t forget when it looked like Arod was never coming back Hank said he wouldn’t trade Kennedy for Miguel Cabrera. How pathetic this guy is. All he knows how to do is shoot off his extremely ignorant mouth and inhale cancer sticks.” – Pinstripe Alley
As Orioles fans we realize that anything that happens within the organization is a mistake anyways and are not nearly as critical.
ya got a canca stick, gee-yanni?
Matt Dillon was just awful in The Outsiders.
WE’LL DO IT FAH GEE-YANNI, MAN.

“So far, the pope is early for everything on his schedule. Perhaps it’s because he’s German. If you’ve ever taken a train in Genrmany, you know that if you’re at the station and you see the second hand going around, it hits 12 and the train is pulling out.”

All this talk
Of getting rid of Huff and Millar, we need to dump Melvin. That way we could put Luis at third and have both of them in the lineup. That is a killer left side of the infield.

It may be hard to admit
But they are…you may be inclined to say Notre Dame, Lakers, Celtics, Duke, etc. but none of them are old enough. The Red Sox are storied losers.
The Yankees never won shit for the Gipper. And they sucked pre-Ruth so I don’t want to hear about their centuries old history.
by Scott Christ on Apr 19, 2008 9:28 PM EDT up reply actions
Still older than the sport of football
And almost as old as basketball. Its not the fact that they were winners pre-Ruth, but that they existed in the early 20th century.
They didn’t have any heroic history that defined America, though.

well
Michael Kay is right about it being stupid to carry 13 pitchers, particularly when that makes your bench Brandon Fahey/Luis Hernandez, Guillermo Quiroz and Jay Payton.
Kay's right
Fahey has two hits. What the hell???

I think it's a good move.
Kid hasn’t pitched in a long time. Gives him an inning of low pressure to get the butterflies out.
Good play, but lucky
Pitchers do that every time with their feet and hands but rarely do they actually hit it.

Hello my friends
I was at the game tonight and, as you know, it was awesome. I jus got home and I must pay tribute to my friend Julia for all of you to hear.
I attended the game with three other people, one of them being my friend Julia who is a Yankees fan. But Julia is not like those Yankee fans I hate. She’s respectful of the home team and she’s not a giant douche bag.
SO at one point in the game when the O’s are winning 4-0, a rousing rendition of “Yankees Suck” starts from the upper deck and it is REALLY loud. I don’t chant that, especially when I’m with Julia, because we have an understanding. So during the Yankees Suck chant, these asshole Yankee fans behind us (who were totally obnoxious the entire night, by the way) start complaining about it and saying shit like, “These losers, god. Don’t they know we pay their bills by coming down here?” and so on and so forth, being totally obnoxious. Before I know what’s going on, Julia turns around and says, “You do realize the Yankees are losing by 4 runs, right? You might want to keep your mouth shut.” And they are all “BUT YOU’RE IN A YANKEES SHIRT! HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY SAY SUCH THINGS TO US!” and she is all “Just because I’m a Yankee fan doesn’t mean I think it’s ok for people to behave the way you are.” and they are all “that’s bullshit, you’re a yankee fan you should be on our side.” So I say, “She’s a Yankee fan, not an asshole. Even though you probably can’t tell, there sometimes is a difference.” And this asshole says to me, “Shut up, bitch. Who asked you?” and the next thing I know Julia is turned around in her chair screaming at these guys and gals about how they need to learn their place and learn to show a little respect and how they’re the reason everyone hates Yankee fans and it was totally awesome. She was seriously about to climb over the row to get to these assholes but I pulled her back and was like, “It’s not worth us getting kicked out. It’s fine.” And we go back to watching the game, and we hear these asshole Yankee fans saying to each other all sorts of shit about us and how we’re losers and blah blah blah, and then Julia turns around and screams, “SAY IT TO MY FACE? YOU GOT A PROBLEM? SAY IT TO MY FACE?” And they’re all “whatever, we don’t have anything to say.” It was so awesome. Then the 8th inning rolled around and these pansies left the stadium because the Yankees were getting beat so bad, and the rest of our night was quite lovely. Well not for Julia because the Yankees lost, but what can you do?
Man, what an awesome night. I love beating the Yankees! And I love asshole Yankee fans getting yelled at, even if I’m not the one doing it.
Warms my heart to hear a story such as this
Calling someone a bitch is pretty classy. Didn’t even stay the whole game. They truly represent the “best fans in sports:” fairweather frontrunning douchebags. Well, except Julia. She sounds cool enough, even if she does like the Yankees.
wait
I thought Cardinals fans were the greatest in the history of all sports, ever?
