Well the double mojo worked for the Cards series so I hope it works for this series as well. Game 1: Pelfrey v Sabathia
We're not gonna have a yankee and met fan thread are we? The Mets are playing pretty well all of a sudden eh? Can they keep it up with that lineup? I think the Yankees win tonight and tomorrow
There really is no "playing well" with this team. If they get good starting pitching and hold the opponent to 3 or 4 runs they'll probably win, otherwise it's an L.
Saw on the news this morning that the game will most likely have at least an hour delay due to t-storms in the area at that time.
looks like Nady is done for the year by the way...."walked off the field" last night according to Girardi after a "setback"
The best part about that? Swisher is now the permanent full-time right fielder! Someone at work told me that the Yankees are considering bringing up Shelly Duncan. I was like "AWESOME! I can't wait to have another DH on this team!"
Mets lineup Luis Castillo 2B Alex Cora SS David Wright 3B Gary Sheffield RF Fernando Tatis LF Ryan Church CF Nick Evans 1B Omir Santos C Mike Pelfrey RHP God i hate Jerry for his sick love of Tatis
Well, come on man, you have to be good to be on base all the time so as to be getting doubled up so often. Duh.
I'd say Tex, Cano, Damon and Melky are all having better seasons at the plate than Swisher. He is inconsistent as hell, but I'm fine with him in the lineup. Would have preferred to get Nady back for obvious reasons though.
anyone know of of a site I can watch the game online? I really would prefer to watch it than follow the gamecast.
try this. It's not starting yet, though, and I probably won't be around later to check for more links. Myp2p.eu will have stuff posted, but most of them require TVAnts, so I'd download that .
Jeter's 35th birthday and he has the flu, so he's sitting out. Gardner CF Damon LF Teixeira 1B Rodriguez 3B Cano 2B Swisher RF Cervilli C Pena SS Sabathia P I think Melky Cabrera is on the bench. That's what they said on the radio. This for some reason lists Melky in right and Swisher on the bench.
Gardner CF Damon LF Teixeira 1B Rodriguez 3B Cano 2B Cabrera RF Cervelli C Pena SS Sabathia LHP ...thats the lineup i saw online
You might want to rethink that. Tex and Damon are the two ahead of Swisher in OPS+, but Melky and Cano? Not so much. Here, I'll just show you the rankings: Code: Player OPS OPS+ Mark Teixeira 0.968 150 Johnny Damon 0.904 134 Nick Swisher 0.863 125 Jorge Posada 0.867 125 Alex Rodriguez 0.845 121 Derek Jeter 0.828 117 Hideki Matsui 0.819 113 Robinson Cano 0.823 113 Melky Cabrera 0.793 107 Brett Gardner 0.748 97 Basically, you'd rather have anyone except Gardner up instead of Melky or Cano... and you might be able to argue Gardner over Melky at this point, given the difference in how the two have been playing since Melky jammed his shoulder.
