Not bad, not bad at all. Needed to win the series against our wildcard rivals and took all three. Now we get a home set vs B-More. Mon, Aug 13 7:05 pm EDT C. Wang vs. J. Guthrie Tue, Aug 14 7:05 pm EDT J. Karstens vs. D. Cabrera Wed, Aug 15 1:05 pm EDT P. Hughes vs. E. Bedard
Like a lot of teams, Baltimore isn't getting a lot of offense so if we keep hitting we should be able to win at least two. Now that Giambi is back he is tearing up the ball too. I guess it's relative though.
I would love 2 of 3 since the Yankees are (3-6) vs. The Birds this year. I am pleased with Baltimore right now though, taking 2 of 3 from Boston.
I'd love to see Hughes vs. Bedard. It could be a very good game. And that would rule, since it's the first Yankees game I'm going in like 10 years.
Great start to the series tonight. Arod has a pre-game ceremony for his 500th and NY should see Chamberlain for the first time.
Very Hairy Sitcheeation goinz on here. hmy: We started off our upcoming schedule vs teams in or around the playoff race. - Took 2 of 3 from the Toronto Cry babies, - Scalped the indians Coming up, - 4 vs Detroit - go to LA with NO Travel Day to play 3 - to Detroit for another 4 - then home against the Boston Monkey blowers. With all that we have the O's now. This is where the Yankees could easily have a Mental lapse like in Colorado and San Fran. Seems they are more focused though but it could be interesting. Just an incredible stretch the Bombers are on. :beer:
Well this doesn't sound good. "Despite owning a 1-0 record against the Orioles this season, Chien-Ming Wang has been tagged by Baltimore in his first two starts against them this year, allowing the Birds to bat .383 -- the second-highest team batting average against the Yankees hurler." I'm glad he's throwing on short rest. That should make him a little tired which in turn should make his sinker sink more and not stay up like it did in his last start.
wanger should come out strong tonite, i cant imagine him throwing 2 bad games in a row.. i hope the yanks take 2 outta 3.. but that one loss will hurt.. i want the yanks to sweep, and expect it, but when all is said and done i hope fora series win.. also, joba is able to pitch tonite.. hope he comes in strong like usual..
Unreal. Rivera who went 1+ yesterday and nearly blew it guess what? Joe Brings him in the very next day. Good Job Joe!!!
