Around SBN: Why We're Skeptical Of LeBron James

ALCS GameThread: New York Yankees (2) @ Texas Rangers (3), 8:07 PM

So you guys have heard me speak of my Yankee loving BFF before. She's coming to town this weekend and if there is a game seven of the ALCS, she and I will be watching it together. I love my friend. In addition to all of the other wonderful things about her, I love what a fantastic baseball fan she is, and if there is a game seven I'll be by her side keeping my sarcastic quips to a minimum while she watches and hopes that her team makes it to the World Series. We don't enjoy trash talking each others teams the way some people do. I don't know if it's different for girls or if it's just different for us, but we don't do it. So even though I'll be hoping the Yankees lose (and she knows that I'm hoping the Yankees lose), I won't be able to let go with my usual thoughts.

I really don't want there to be a game seven.

For some reason Orioles Classics is always blacked out on my MASN Direct TV channel

Does anyone know why? I get everything else, but his year that one shown started getting blacked out.

Look.

It’s the most captainous captain who’s ever captained in the history of captaincy.

Buy in the cheapest media market

DE’s southern 2 counties get Salisbury TV, which is MUCH cheaper to buy than Philly TV. Also, New Castle will solidly be for Coons (he’s from there, and most of the state’s Dems are there), so both are figuring if O’Donnell can turn out Kent and Sussex in huge numbers, she can pull it out. So O’Donnell buys ads to get those folks ready to vote for her, and Coons runs ads to keep her numbers down.

They cancel each other out

Ads typically don’t drive poll numbers much, but they can. But you can’t NOT run them if your opponent does.

Somebody hit a ball to Jeter's right already, damnit. We know he can't get to it.

And if he does he’ll attempt some lame jump-throw to make it appear as if he had a chance to throw the runner out at 1st. Then we can all laugh at him.

Baltimore’s Ray said all he can do is tip is cap to Jeter and try to get him next time.

I was watching the last game on ESPN International,

and the commentators were Gary Thorne (isn’t he supposed to be miserable and playoffless like us) and Rick Sutcliffe. Sutcliffe started talking about how the only number you ever hear Jeter talk about is wins. Because, other players so don’t want to win. I hope when he’s at the end of his career a Brett Favre situation happens.

I already knew about that, though.

And people knew that when Favre was in Green Bay he participated in various acts of debauchery. What was so shocking about the last story was that he did it as a veteran, with a much younger woman. But, for a Jeter incident to have the same effect, he would need a wife with cancer….

I've been enjoying reading the Pinstripes Alley thread.

One person there said the Rangers have been getting lucky. As a bit of a statgeek, I’m more than willing to say that a team can get lucky and beat a team that outplays them (though I refuse that as an excuse for the losing team). But how have the Rangers been getting lucky? Yes, the Yankees are actually the better team. A giant payroll tends to help with that. But in this series the Rangers have been the better team. Look at Lee’s game. Were the Rangers getting lucky on balls being put in play and hit right towards Rangers? No, Lee dominated them. And Hamilton has been awesome at the plate. Funny what happens when you start using evidence.

Fucking whiners.

Yeah, I know.

I didn’t read anything there during Lee’s starts, but someone here said that, while watching Lee dominate them, they were wondering how much money they would have to give him. It’s funny, the people on these blogs tend to be more intelligent than the average fan. And I’m sure their analysis is good. But they still suck as much as other Yankee fans.

For fuck's sake,

“Colby Lewis? We’re getting dominated by a nobody.” Yeah, a guy with a FIP of 3.55 and WAR (according to Fangraphs) of 4.4 is a nobody. Hughes: 4.25 FIP and 2.4 WAR. But Hughes gets talked about more on ESPN so he must be better!

Of course not.

He’s not a fantastic pitcher. He’s just good, so maybe the point I made above is moot. But that comment is demeaning towards him, as if he wasn’t a very good pitcher. This matchup is Lewis vs. Hughes. Lewis is the better pitcher, but that comment makes it sound like he’s some schmuck.

And I'll just reiterate the point I made above,

the Orioles shouldn’t have let that game happen. I watched every single out of that game. It was absolutely painful and I can’t forget it. But Texas was just doing what they were supposed to, which is score runs. The Orioles completely failed at preventing them.

How can anyone argue that the Yankees aren't hurting baseball?

They’re a dire example of why a salary cap is needed. Most other teams (not the Red Sox or Phillies, because they also have lots of money, or the Mets, because they spend idiotically) have to build a team, then make a move to get a few really good shots at the WS. The Yankees have enough money that they can make big moves every year to win the Wolrd Series and take bigger risks. Totally tips the scale of competition.

I was trying to emphasize that we haven’t had to experience losing in the playoffs in over a decade. It wouldn’t make sense for a Red Sox fan to say that, though, since they did lose in the playoffs during that time.

Also, did anyone else realize that the only teams with two World Series wins in the last decade are the Yankees and Red Sox? Fuckers.
