  1. The NBA playoffs are still going on?
  2. We're a few months into a contract that lasts a few years. I'm not eating anything until we're a little further down this path. Absolutely. But I'd be more than happy to start looking for recipes.
  3. interesting. i'll have to look for that. I don't remember what his motion used to look like. But I zoomed through his outing last night on the DVR, and definitely noticed a bit of a pause. Maybe that's a gimmick that is fooling hitters now and won't last, but regardless of what it is, he's doing much better than I had thought possible. I thought he'd be a "quality start" pitcher at his best, ie 6 ip 3 er outings. I definitely wasn't expecting 0 or 1 run in 4 of 6 outings.
  4. I get pissed when I'm forced to sit through Yankees and Mets games every Saturday (or Philly when I'm down the shore). Although I guess in the long run that's a good thing, because then I spend more time outside. But then again, that just means more time in the sun, which in the really long run could kill me. But anyway, I guess I don't have it too bad compared to those who live in the tweener cities/states.
  5. He's been amazing. Looks like Larry might have been on to something.
  6. He was referring to you hoping they don't keep up this pace; 106 wins... What he said. They are on pace for 106 wins. Odds are that won't continue. But even if their pace slows considerably, they've got a great shot at 90 wins. And they'd really have to struggle to only get 85.
  7. Once they get ARod and Cabrera, sure.
  8. No, I don't think they have a realistic chance for 106 wins.
  9. I would not like to see teams retracted. Moved? Maybe. The NY area could easily support a baseball team, specifically the Hudson county area, along the river and across from Manhattan. There is public transport galore, the most densely populated area in the country, and the potential to easily attract 3+ million per year. Plus that would have the added advantage of tapping into the revenue that is shared by the Mets and Yanks, acting as a pseudo revenue sharing system that could help balance the power in the MLB, if only a little bit. There should be a lot of threads retracted though.
  10. This stupid freaking topic again? Gas prices rise going into the summer, every summer, and especially last summer, when people were freaking about a hurricane season that never happened. Gas prices fall every fall, and especially last fall, when the bottom dropped on oil prices after the much predicted hurricane season never happened. My lord.
  11. Yeah, that's the story I was hearing. Don't know the details, I just kept hearing Mike and the Mad Dog refer to this being something that the marketing people pushed. Apparantly the guy runs some sort of fitness center that has a deal in place with the Yankees, but had no history working with baseball players. Sounds like a controversy the Cubs could get involved in.
  12. Bad timing on Jonah's part, he's hitting .348/.423/.870 in his last 7 games. His overall OBP remains a problem, but he's been modestly productive, especially for a guy making $500,000.
  13. Mike and the Mad Dog are talking about some controversy with, I believe, the training staff and some sort of marketing strategy. It sounds like they believe the new trainer is involved in some sort of fitness company, and the Yankees are partnering with them on some venture. There's stories of the players not liking the workouts and the guy not having much knowledge about baseball.
  14. Any chance Marshall gets the callup over Guzman? Lou won't be able to break up the lefties!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It'll be interesting to see who gets the call. I'm guessing they'll go without a 5th this weekend, then wait for the 12th and see who looks best. Iowa has a game Monday, which would allow Marshall to come back on 4 days rest and get one more outing before the 12th, when he'd be on 4 days rest again.
  15. I just noticed the change and was worried it was health related. 2 series in a row baby. Win the next 3 very winnable series, and they are 18-17 heading into the tougher part of the schedule. Need to stock up on wins against Washington, Pitt and Philly.
  16. I'd let him keep going. He's not some young buck who hasn't been exposed to many major league innings. He's expendable in the long run. I'd see if he can finish the 9th pretty quickly, but maybe get somebody warm just in case.
  17. Personal flaw? He hit his wife. Obviously it happened in the past, otherwise it never would have happened. He's a wife beater. A complete scumbag. It's completely different from being a drug addict.
  18. Jason Marquis doesn't know, and Jason Marquis doesn't care.
  19. Not classy? Since when are they supposed to be classy. Myers is a wife beater.
  20. It's getting ridiculous. It'll be interesting to see how Lou handles the double standard. So far they've treated Soriano with kid gloves, but Lou's all about having nice little talks with guys who aren't doing what he likes. I have to believe this is driving him nuts. This team has a tough enough time getting on base, and they also make far too many outs once on base.
  21. Snell is going over 90 pitches here, and they still don't have anybody warming up?
