Baltimore Orioles at New York Yankees, Sep 11, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
So, I don't know if you've heard, but there's some hit record that one of the Yankees might pass this weekend. I'm not clear on the details; it's barely been discussed by sports writers and broadcasters.
Chris Tillman will face the Yankees for the first time in his career tonight in HR friendly Yankee Stadium. Tillman continues to battle his command, walking more than is comfortable and giving up too many home runs. I still look forward to his every start, because I know that eventually there will be one where he puts it all together, and even now he usually shows a brilliant moment for every meatball over the plate. He's such a tease.
Andy Pettitte is pitching for the Yankees. I don't want to talk about it.
The Yankees are very good this year. Surprise! They hit the snot out of the ball which is why they win so much. When the Yankees didn't make the postseason last year, they went out and spent almost a quarter of a billion dollars on two pitchers they hoped would stick at the top of their rotation and send them back to the playoffs. CC Sabathia has been very good, as expected, but the truth is he pretty much replaced 2008 Mike Mussina. He's been better than Mussina was in '08, but not by that much. AJ Burnett is certainly an upgrade over Sidney Ponson and Darrell Rasner (who combined for 35 starts for the Yanks in '08), but he isn't worth $16.5M. Overall, their pitching stats haven't been that different than they were in '08. They're above average, but not elite. They allow 4.66 runs/game, which is 14th in the majors (7th in the AL), but they score 5.72 runs/game, which is first. The Orioles are the opposite. They are dead last in runs allowed (5.39) and middle of the pack in runs scored (4.79).
But as we've seen, any team can win on any given day, so I'll try not to get too down before the game even starts.
Let's Go O's!

So basically,
the Orioles are the bizarro Yankees.

that's because God hates Derek Jeter.

Maybe, for once,
God is taking pity on O’s fans and will wash out this series entirely so that Jeter doesn’t get the record against the O’s.

The weathers been fine here for the past hour, I dont know why they didnt start the game sooner
"When we won the league championship, all the married guys on the club had to thank their wives for putting up with all the stress and strain all season. I had to thank all the single broads in New York"
Joe Namath
So, they've started the game?
I’ve got Mythbusters – the beer goggles episode – on the TV now. Should I even bother to change?
Jim Palmer: "I said to Nolan, 'Why do you run every ball out like that?' and he said, 'Why wouldn’t you?' "
So they'll play until the MFY have a lead
then call the game, even if it’s the bottom of the 2nd. It’s the MFY, after all.

I can think of better ways to honor the dead of 9/11 than a non-matching baseball hat. A patch would have been much more appropriate.
Jim Palmer: "I said to Nolan, 'Why do you run every ball out like that?' and he said, 'Why wouldn’t you?' "
Dude
Red caps have nothing to do with “what it was like on that day.” They are hideous and they don’t match any of the teams. I don’t need some hideous red cap that doesn’t go with ORANGE to remind me of anything.

Seriously, Yankee fans, 2,722 hits is not a special number
The fact that you think it is says more for your supposedly storied franchise than any other thing. 100 years of Yankee bullshit and you couldn’t get one guy with 3,000 hits? I mean, shit, the Houston Astros have a guy with 3,000 hits. The Kansas City Royals have a guy with 3,000 hits. Give me a fucking break with the theatrics. This is a fucking joke and I’m embarrassed on their behalf that they think there’s something so special about this.

We have two higher than Jeter, but not 3k
Cal, of course, is past 3k, Brooks has 2848.
In fairness, Jeter is likely to pass both of these before his career is all said and done – the guy’s only 35. However, he’s probably due for a tail-off, so who knows how much farther than that he will get.
I had a Yankee fan earlier trying to tell me Jeter might pass Pete Rose. 7 more years of 200 hits seems like a generous pace to assume for a player.

That’s not really the issue. Like i was just saying to someone, most of the reasons I dislike Derek Jeter aren’t his fault, it’s the way people treat him that pisses me off so much.

Nolan - what else are you looking for on 2-0??
And fuck you blue that’s not a strike there for strike 3.
No Yankee having 3,000 hits is just an anomaly
I mean, they’re still unquestionably the most successful franchise with many of the best players of all time.
"There's only one cure for what's wrong with all of us pitchers, and that's to take a year off. Then, after you've gone a year without throwing, quit altogether." -Jim Palmer
I've felt the same thing.
I thought it was really weird, so I looked it up the other day. I want to say, of the 24 guys with 3000 hits, less than 10 I think got at least 3000 with one team. I’ll have to look it up again for the specific number. But considering how so many of the Yankees legendary players are from the days before free agency it’s odd none of them got to 3000

Dunno.. despite this sucktitude, I see a pretty solid core
Between Roberts, Reimold, Markakis, Weiters, Jones.. the rest not sure.. but that’s really not bad to work off of.
But how much better will that crew be?
Each had decent to good years, and we’re still a 100 loss team. We need two serious bats, and I’m not sure who they could be.

Roberts and Markakis? Probably not much better..
Reimold I’m hoping will improve.. Jones and Wieters I’m assuming will be better. A couple big bats wouldn’t hurt, though, I agree.
They do need to add a bat
at least one. But if they can get their pitching under control it will be a lot, lot better.
The O’s allow 5.39 runs per game. Only the Nationals give up more. They aren’t lighting the world on fire with runs scored, but they are right in the middle of the American League. It stands to reason that Wieters and Jones will continue to improve, probably Reimold too. We already know what we have in Nick and Brian. If the Orioles can get their runs allowed down they won’t be as far off as it seems right now.

I am hoping our rotation will be fun to watch
Guthrie, Bergesen, Tillman, Matusz… with Hernandez, Berken, Mickolio, Uehara, and others in the bullpen…
I dunno.. I think if we make 2 star signings (one on offense, one on pitching) – we may at least push 90 wins next season.
And to note – you can check my record.. I’ve never been an unrealistic optimistic for our team’s season.
Okay that’s a lie, I usually am stupidly optimistic. But I mean it this time.
That sounds logical
I guess a decade if bad pitching has left me wondering if this team is capable of better.

In case you're wondering
I looked it up on b-r.com, in baseball history there have been two players age 40 or over who have gotten 175 hits in a season. In 1927 Ty Cobb got 175 at age 50. In 1930 Sam Rice got 207 at age 40. That’s it.

I can't believe they didn't call this game
It’s freaking 1 a.m.

This is pretty shady
Girardi pulls his regulars and sends them all home before the game’s over. Tomorrow’s game time is 1pm. That’s quite a stretch of home field gamesmanship.

And Wieters should be out of there. If Trembley sits him tomorrow because of this I’ll be so annoyed.

Okay, okay: PETER BOYLE (the father in Everybody Loathes Raymond).
He’s actually a fine actor, with some commendable contributions in character roles since the late 60’s.

p.s. But guess who won Player of the Game...in a 10-4 loss? Just guess.
Egg-suckin’ Derek! See, he’s so Valuable, the losses don’t even count.

Fuck the Motherfucking Yankee Bitches!
I left and it was 7-4 – how the fuck did we prevent them from scoring any more runs???
Mark Hendrickson!
Well that and after the rain delay Girardi sent all of his regulars home.

that's what Esskay said
I missed when they first came back to the game because I assumed it was suspended. I guess Gary and Jim said they sent Jeter and some others home. They said Brian Roberts was sent home also but then they showed him chilling in the dugout.

That's pretty ridiculous.
I’ve actually never heard of that happening other than the next game’s starting pitcher. bunch of pampered babies.
