I miss Gary and Jim (a game thread)

E602c7131936b97ae83d57f515f34943_tiny by pipkin on

I'm watching the O's-Yanks game on New York TV, listening to a team that I think must be Michael Kay and Ken Singleton, and it's really surreal. I don't like it. This is the first game I've watched since I moved to New York three weeks ago. It's strange listening to other announcers.

I'd even take Jim Hunter and Rick Dempsey. Well, maybe not. But I would love to hear Gary & Co.

Michale Kay just said Mussina is going to get Cy Young votes. Which is dumb. dumb. dumb. dumb.

pretty steal.

ed. note - use this as the game thread, since y'all were anyway. Crafty people, you bunch. -duck

Is this the game thread?

Does Cano have even worse range than Jeter?

Tied up 1-1.

by dkdc on Aug 22, 2008 7:26 PM EDT   0 recs

Cano

stinks in the field, why do they play their best defensive middle infielder at third?

by Reddrummer9187 on Aug 22, 2008 7:33 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

YES

Michael Kay is annoying, but I kinda like games against the Yankees because they are the only ones I get in HD.

I guess Mussina might get some Cy Young votes from some truly stupid sportswriters, but he certainly won’t deserve them.

by dkdc on Aug 22, 2008 7:28 PM EDT   0 recs

Ooo

HD, I forgot. And Cliff Lee and K-Rod will make sure Mussina gets nowhere close to the Cy Young.

Nice K by Liz

He’s looked decent so far, but I have an ominous feeling that the wheels will come off.

by dkdc on Aug 22, 2008 7:33 PM EDT   0 recs

I have faith in Liz

he has great stuff, so he doesn’t have to be perfect

by Reddrummer9187 on Aug 22, 2008 7:36 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

but that being said

he can be pretty darn awful

by Reddrummer9187 on Aug 22, 2008 7:37 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I mean

I don’t mind if he gets, say, 8th place votes.

But he is not Cy Young-caliber this year.

Jesus, Ramon

Close the damn mitt

A lot of his wild pitches

look like he should have caught

by Reddrummer9187 on Aug 22, 2008 7:41 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Agreed

They scored this one a passed ball, but I have no doubt that he makes pitchers throw more “wild pitches”.

Or not.

Nice job by the fans

C'mon Aubrey

This old fart is throwing junk.

Nicky makes my heart beat a little faster

There’s no play I like more than an outfielder throwing a guy out.

If Roberts had been in position

He wouldn’t have needed Giambi to slide like a beached whale.

by dkdc on Aug 22, 2008 8:17 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

he almost slid to third

Are you kidding me?

Tell me you saw that somewhere before it was on tv or something.

I swear I didn't

Just complete dumb luck.

No

dkdc

what is he writing about and what is his instructor expecting?

I’m attempting to write about my internship and I have no clue what kind of paper my instructor is expecting, but I really am not in the mood

by Reddrummer9187 on Aug 22, 2008 8:33 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

uh...

I got nothing.

by dkdc on Aug 22, 2008 8:33 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

whoops

I jumped the gun on that. I sure hope i am doing a better job on this paper, but I know i’m not.

nice catch by mussina. pure reflex.

Let's play "Name That 'Tard?"

During pregame conversation, this quote was uddered (regarding Mike Mussina’s 250 wins and Hall of Fame worthiness, that kind of stuff):

“If he’d stayed here he might be approaching Jim Palmer numbers” (268 wins, and the hall of fame)

Any guesses anyone?

uhhh

whose idea was it to give him a chance to start again?

Ramon- nice grab. hope that kills some of the momentum.

Hmmm

That’s generally not how you want to handle the #8 and #9 hitters.

by dkdc on Aug 22, 2008 8:35 PM EDT   0 recs

Well

That was actually a pretty good outing for Liz until this inning.

It’s still one of the best starts of his major league career, which is scary.

by dkdc on Aug 22, 2008 8:42 PM EDT   0 recs

i wondered where the game thread was

i’m slow

Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.

You missed me calling Ramon's shot

That was probably the high point of my life.

by dkdc on Aug 22, 2008 8:44 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

That still baffles me

It was Ramon of all people

Geez, I hope it's just a cold

I mean, we are 15 games or so out and it’s a meaningless August game….

The kid's not really sick

I just wanted to motivate Ramon to get off his ass and do something.

In fact, i don’t even have a kid. Ramon’s a sucker, though.

really? i will go look

that was a solid hunch

you should have had a hunch about getting a blowjob or something
