Lincecum is REALLY out now
Went to the hospital this morning with “flu-like symptoms.” Wan’t going to pitch anyway, now won’t even be at the stadium.
Discuss.

wow, I looked it up, it's really that bad
you could still make an argument for Jhonny Peralta over Jeter, but it’s a stretch
How's that a stretch???
Leads him in OPS, OPS+, VORP, WARP. He’s been a significantly better hitter and dramatically better defensively.
Jeter has a better fist pump.
"Hey Yankees... you can take your apology and your trophy and shove 'em straight up your ass!" --Tanner Boyle
by BirdFanInPhilly on Jul 15, 2008 7:40 PM EDT up reply actions
well, maybe not that much of a stretch
but a .300 OBP is really not very good, and OBP is more important than SLG even though we treat them as equals in practice. Jeter’s terrible defense is a factor I wasn’t measuring however.
Yeah, OBP is more valuable
But it’s not that dramatically more valuable. It’s not making up for Peralta’s huge lead in SLG%. And then there is defense.
I don’t have a huge problem with Jeter going. He’s there for the same reason Cal was there year after year no matter what his stats were. But based on his production this year, he’s not really deserving.

I'm pumped, guys
This time it fucking COUNTS. I can’t wait for Brian McCann to hit a three-run homer off of George Sherrill, ultimately securing home field for the 82-win Arizona Diamondbacks in the World Series.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
except for the part about the Diamondbacks making the world series on 82 wins
that would be hysterical
I’ll keep my bet on the guy that’s not very good.

Roberts should be there
Can’t do anything about the fans voting in Pedroia and Insler deserves to be there; but why not carry 3 2B? Did we really need 29 RP in the game?

It makes more sense strategically
to take a bunch of closers with sub-2.00 ERAs since nobody’s pitching more than two innings anyway.

Did you guys hear this?
My mom calls me, and asks if I’m watching the game. Which is odd, because the last time my Mom watched a BB game, Eddie Murray was still driving in runs for us the FIRST time. The following conversation ensues:
“Did you know this is the LAST All-Star-Game and it’s in Yankee Stadium?”
“I’m pretty sure they’re gonna have an All-Star Game next year, too, Mom”
“No they’re not. Not in Yankee Stadium. This is the last All-Star Game there.”
“Well, yeah, not in Yankee Stadium, Mom. I’m pretty sure I heard that somewhere.”
I mean, when the hype machine can even reach my 63 y.o. mom, MLB is doing something right. Or wrong. Depends on your perspective, I guess.

0-2: .125/.125/.292

2-2: .245/.259/.348

The official notice of him being taken out would be that someone bats for him or takes the field instead of him. They wouldn’t get to see his grand, dramatic exit.
And since no one really knew what the fuck was going on and probably 50% of the fans were worried he was hurt, he didn’t get a giant ovation.

Wasn't a save oppurtunity ( no lead)
So it can’t be a hold. Also, don’t think there is a such thing as a blown hold. It woud just technically be a blown save (although some don’t count it as a BS unless it’s teh 9th inning)

No, but he did put the guy on first
And then wasn’t able to hold him close enough to keep him from stealing. And then couldn’t get the strike out after the error.
Either way, he’s on the line for the loss.

yeah great
He gave up a single and I’ll allow for a stolen base. That pop up to left does not advance Tejada from second to third, let alone home. He does not score that run. The run is on Navarro. You are blind as a bat hatin’ for hatin’s sake.

Definitely a hater
But it’s not like Papelbon doesn’t have a role in that run. You can’t say he has no responsiblity because there was an error. Yeah, sure, if there was no error, there be no run. But if there was no single there’d be no run. If there was no SB there was no run.

Yes I understand, but Tejada does not score without Navarro’s single-handed error. Maybe you could place some blame on the guy that covered the base, and then after blaming those two, Papelbon.

Right, I agreed to that.
There isn’t just one guy who has responsibility for the run. But that doesn’t dismiss Papelbon. Obviously, I bring up Papelbon because he comes off as a dousche to me, and he plays for PHN. But I also brought him up because he played a key role in that run. Navarro did as well; but I don’t know him as an ahole, so…

I want the AL to win...
but watching Papelbon fuck up and give up the lead, in front of always-friendly Yankee fans, while they’re even more riled up because of stupid things he said, was absolutely fantastic.
Papelbon gave up a single
Then allowed a pop-up to left and struck out two. Tejada scored because Navarro threw the ball to center field.

Well if he'd struck out *3* or not allowed a long fly... Oh yeah, Paps lost it, all right. Navarro just helped
and so did the not-backing-up doofus in center.
"Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." Churchill,1942-- a rebuilding year.
The fly ball was not very long. Tejada doesn’t go from second to third on that ball. He goes home because that’s a much longer throw. This is really not rocket science at all. I mean, seriously. The run does not score if Navarro throws the ball somewhere other than center field.

Well, now...
if Navarro throws it in the dugout, I don’t think that helps, either. Or if he throws it into right field. Or the camera well. Or into his own pants.
There are PLENTY of places he could have thrown it where the damage would have been as severe…

Woulda been a tough loss? Sure. Tell us about it! But this is a case where the L in the box score would've been accurate.
You couldn’t be righter that this one isn’t rocket science. With Miggy on 3rd, you pitch differently: strike out—GOOD! Anything else—PROBABLY BAD. And the ONE THING you DON’T want to give up: FLY BALL!! Do we think Papelbon knew this? YES. Did we see him FAIL to act on this knowledge successfully? YES AGAIN.
Right now he’s thinking Thank you, Evan—I came up short when it counted and you saved my douchebag Red Sawx arse!

I remember Clint Hurdle as a player. He sucked. Meanwhile my breasts are swelling uncomfortably again.

for telling us what questions Dave Letterman didnt ask
Why don't either one of the managers keep one of the starters at the back of the bullpen?
Am I crazy or something?
He did
He kept two closers for after the 9th, as well. That’s 3 pitchers. That would seem to be plenty.

You can’t keep Duscherer back there, just in case?

He’s also pitched in multiple AS games, so it’s no big deal if he doesn’t get used.

I'm about 12 beers in now
So I’m picking up out things I wouldn’t have about 2 hours ago.

McCann’s got a rough job. 1:30 in the morning and he has to get off his ass and catch.

Come on HBP
End the game. Sherrill will be the most effective pitcher of the night.

Don’t care if he really was or not, I’ll take it.

Replay sez-- SAFER than several previous "outs"!

AL WINS!
Morneau scores on Michael Young’s sac fly.
Flat Breezy deserves some love for his performance tonight.
FINALLY
night y’all, I have work in 7 hours.
Shittiest throw of the night BTW
Curt never met a buttered roll he didn't like.
Nah...
the one Navarro sailed into CF was the worst.

G'night all. Remember: This One Counts!
Writing is God's way of showing you how sloppy your thinking is.
Let it be written
Sherrill got the most outs. And bailed that punk Soria out.
Curt never met a buttered roll he didn't like.
and sherrill is forgotten forever
not even a hold
Not by us, man
not by us

Have we ever broken 1,000 before, SC?

Shutdown ruled and the right team won. So it took 5 hrs. and our breasts swelled uncomfortably.
It was worth it.

And the MVP is....
JD Drew
Wow, a PHN gets it. What a shock.

Goerge could have pitched 9 innings
and batted 3 for 4 with 3 HRs and a PHN or MFY was going to get it.

nah... thats not true
but while George was perhaps the best pitcher of the night… There would have been no EI without JD Drew. His offensive performance I bet if you took their win percentage contributions JD added the most to it.
At leats they picked one
who did something. I was expecting Jeter to get it just for chewing gum and signing autographs…

J.D. Drew looks a little bit tired.
I guess playing baseball for something like 12 hours will do that to you.
Flat Breezy's final line...
25 pitches
18 strikes
Here’s to hoping he matches that ratio for the next few weeks.
sherrill is the mannn
kruky just said that george was his real mvp…. yeeee
SHUTDOWN SHERRILL IS BIRDLAND!
John Kruk: “George Sherrill should have been walking away with that Tahoe.”
