I miss Gary and Jim (a game thread)

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 reply actions   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 up reply actions   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 reply actions   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 reply actions   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 up reply actions   0 recs

but that being said

he can be pretty darn awful

by Reddrummer9187 on Aug 22, 2008 7:37 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I mean

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

But he is not Cy Young-caliber this year.

Agreed

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

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?

in april 2005 i took my brother and his kids to a game for his b’day. we always get our seats in section 80, which i used to call “tejada home run land.”

anyway so my little nephew was all excited and asked if we would get a ball. and i guaranteed him we would. it was an absurd guarantee to be sure but …..

tejada delivered a ball right into my bro’s lap ……… on his b’day ……. and my guarantee held water. plus it was on espn.

I went to McDonalds once during the craze when they had launched some of the new mini ones.

I quickly left.

I only ever owned one, and i cut the tag off. This news was greeted with derision by my peers.

I just always preferred to waste my money on Magic: The Gathering. Yeah, I was that kind of nerd. And now I post on a baseball blog on friday night.
