GameThread: Yankees (82-48) @ Orioles (54-77), 7:05 PM
New York Yankees at Baltimore Orioles, Aug 31, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
If you pull up the Yankees team page on Baseball Reference, you'll find the numbers very astounding. Their offense is simply ridiculous this year. Johnny Damon is having the best offensive year of his career, Derek Jeter is having some bizarre career renaissance, and after looking like he was at the end of the road last year Jorge Posada is OPS'ing .872. The Yankees are very, very good this year. They look better this year than they have in awhile, but those numbers can be a little misleading.
Much has been made of the new Yankee Stadium being something of a launching pad this year, and if you look at the numbers there is no denying it. Lefty Damon and switch hitting Posada have especially taken advantage of their new friendly ballpark, so much that Fan Graphs just wrote an article on Damon. Don't get me wrong, the Yankees are still much better than the Orioles and are a good team on the road. They're just not AS good as you might think by looking at their numbers.
Damon, for example, has hit 24 HR this year. 17 of them have been at home. He's slugging .601 at Yankee Stadium and .448 on the road. 13 of Posada's 17 HR have come at home along with a home SLG that's .300 points higher than on the road. Mark Teixeira's splits look ike this: 20 HR, .600 SLG at home, 12 HR, .486 SLG on the road. Nick Swisher and Hideki Matsui are the only two to buck this trend as both have been much better on the road (which matches their career splits).
Yes, most players play better at home. Just look at any teams' numbers this year and you can see that. But the differences for the Yankees are pretty drastic. Does that mean the Orioles will take this series from them? Probably not. But it's something to keep in mind.
Tonight Jeremy Guthrie tries to get three consecutive wins for the first time in 2009. Guthrie has faced the Yankees three times this year (does anyone wonder why middle of the road pitchers don't want to come to the AL East?). Twice he's pitched 6 innings and given up 3 runs, the third time he gave up 5 runs in 7 innings. In that game, he gave up back-to-back-to-back HR to Swisher, Robinson Cano, and Melky Cabrera. Of any three Yankees to do that to a pitcher, those three have to be the most embarrassing combination.
Andy Pettitte has been in the majors for 74 years now, and I'm beginning to wonder if he's ever going to go away. His numbers this year look a little pedestrian, but since the All Star break he's really turned it on. Pre-AS Break he pitched to a 4.85 ERA and opposing batters hit .283/.352/.443. Post-break his ERA is 2.79 and batters are .230/.284/.310. Add that to that the fact that he's pretty much the biggest Oriole killer out there (25-6 with a 3.65 ERA in 36 career starts) and tonight doesn't look so good.
So now that I've got you all pumped up and optimistic, Let's Go O's! Kill those Yankees!

Mike Kay
was on the radio talking about the new “Joba Rules” and, waking me from my slumber behind the wheel, he brought up the O’s. Something to the effect of “sure, they Yanks have a 6 game lead on the Sox, but what if the O’s sweep the Yanks and the Sox sweep their series? Then the lead is down to 3 and the handling of Joba becomes a huge problem”.
Yea Mike, i’m sure that scared a TON of Yankees fans into staying tuned to listen to another 5 hours about Joba’s innings limit.

Baysox losing 4 players after tonight and only one game out of a playoff spot
Tucker called up to Norfolk, Paco and Danny Figurora going to Spain and Miguel Abreu going to Puerto Rico for the World Cup.

Problem is the mandated 10 second delay on CBS Radio
of which the O’s flagship station is a member station. Completely kills watching TV and listening to PBP on radio.

I get that feeling pretty much every time Pettite pitches against us.
So far, it’s appeared to be well-founded.

Yeah. It doesn't seem like he's that hard to figure out when you watch him pitch.
But we sure struggle with it.
I love how they say Cano is hitting .455 against the Orioles this year
like it means anything. They’ve played 6 games! If he goes 0-4 tonight his average against the O’s will be in the crapper.

she's not saying that
you keep saying things like “so we should all just agree” and " I always get attacked…Others can voice the same feeling but I get the rath."
neither one of those things is true. remotely. we’re not treating you differently from anyone else, and we’re not saying everyone should agree. as the several-year history of this site attests.
you saying them doesn’t make them true. you saying them repeatedly, despite their not being true, creates drama that isn’t necessary. it’s tiresome.
we say over and over again: if you have an issue with the way things are handled, to contact us personally. so now i’ll say it to you. if you have a problem or need clarification, contact us personally. as mods we balance each other out and you will certainly get a fair shake.
but no more of this LOOK AT ME, I’M ON TRIAL, I’M ON TRIAL crap.
and lastly, leave your personal life out of it. we all have our crosses to bear. i have a sense you have been through some tough times. so have i. so have a lot of people on this site. it’s not a competition, and it’s not relevant.

I've actually been amazed

You guys wrote up rules, explained them over and over and consistently offer clarification, and are really clear on what this place is supposed to be.
Give Stacey the props

It's just
to me, when you insult someone by telling them to suck a dick, you’re implying that there is something wrong with sucking dick, and that people who do suck dick are not as desirable as people who don’t, which there isn’t and they are. I know that you don’t intend it as such, but ultimately it’s homophobia and misogyny all rolled into one.

almost the entire thing is based upon the woman being property. From the engagement ring to the veil to the being given away by one man to another.

Just have to add my 2c
I think it’s important to realize the meaning behind those sorts of comments… a lot of things that have become acceptable to say or are “just words” are actually quite hurtful and insulting but a lot of women (and men, or any group really) don’t speak up because they don’t want to be seen as making a huge deal out of it. I’ve sat by plenty of times while my guy friends joke around, or so they think, but their words are actually rather demeaning. And I’ve been guilty of doing the same thing around my gay friends. Yes there’s such a thing as being waaay too over-the-top PC but… yeah, that’s all I guess. Haha is anyone paying attention to the game anymore?

Sorry I missed it
They never show any of that on mlb.tv if it was on the pregame show. Not a huge Iceman fan, but I love MMA
