Hope they score runs for Tanaka today!

 

[Rick2583]

Yeah after 14 yesterday I hope they left some in reserve.

 

[totus44]

Miggy breaks up the nono.

 

[totus44]

Vmart breaks up the shutout.

 

[totus44]

Tanaka self identifying as an older fat black lefty.....

 

[totus44]

4-0

 

[totus44]

Pitching and defense dug a nice hole there.

 

[blgridesagain]

Ouch! Costly error by Gregarious....ah ah!t.

 

[Rick2583]

Make that 6-0 now.

Son-of-a-bitch, Fathers day I was looking forward to relaxing while I watch a good game. This just sucks.

 

[blgridesagain]

Gotta get on the score board soon with a couple of runs...try and get back into this game but it looks like Tanaka won't hold them.

I'm going to try and rationlize this game - in my mind - by thinking/hoping IF the Yanks can pull this out it will be a BIG WIN and the start of a something special for the remainder of the month.

GO YANKS!

 

[Rick2583]

Okay we got two back & its early soooooooooooooo maybe.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

If Tanaka can start putting goose eggs on the board the Yankees have a chance to peck away. Get Sanchez out the Detroit pen is not that good.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Tanaka has dodged more bullets today than a US Trooper in Afghanistan.

 

[Rick2583]

The Yankees really should hire some seat fillers to sit behind home plate. Showing ALL those empty seats with every AB looks pathetic.

 

[yankeesince59]

...lol...now Tex, was that really so hard?...what took you so long?

 

[Rick2583]

I'm sure it wasn't intentional Ron but yeah, I'd love to see more of that.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

...lol...now Tex, was that really so hard?...what took you so long?

I'm sure it wasn't intentional Ron but yeah, I'd love to see more of that.

It looked to me, like Tex hit to the opposite field intentionally, tho' Kay said he must of swung late......I wan't to believe he did so intentionally, and finally beat the shift......IMO.........

 

[Mattingly23NY]

I swear, after seeing Friday and yesterdays games, with 21 total points to Detroit's 5, I doubt I will ever figure this years Yanx out, they've often beaten teams I didn't expect them to, and lose to teams, I expect them to kick the other teams asses........?

 

[yankeesince59]

It looked to me, like Tex hit to the opposite field intentionally, tho' Kay said he must of swung late......I wan't to believe he did so intentionally, and finally beat the shift......IMO.........

...yeah, pretty sure he went the other way intentionally.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Make that 6-0 now.

Son-of-a-bitch, Fathers day I was looking forward to relaxing while I watch a good game. This just sucks.

same here, woke up to a great breakfast, and a Yanx game to follow, what more can anyone ask for....? A great way to start any day, Yanx game for breakfast....? A Yanx Win.......!

 

[Messiah717]

Tanaka ruined Father's Day.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

...yeah, pretty sure he went the other way intentionally.

Yeah......

BTW- thanks 59 for the Spray Chart URL some time ago. I was just looking at McCann's chart this year, a nice looking chart, seeing Brian hitting pretty much to all fields, less his HR's of course.....a definite change in approach, as everything is no doubt clicking for McCann this year.......

http://www.fangraphs.com/spraychart...cht1=hangtime&cht2=battedball&vs1=ALL&vs2=ALL

I've yet to figure out, how to post the Chart itself tho'.......

 

[Mattingly23NY]

On McCann, I found this article very interesting, on how Brian has corrected his pop up ratio, from 5.0% last year, to a great 0.8%, effing incredible rebound; as the League average is 3.5%.......
Tho' I never lost faith in McCann last year, some of us knew Brian was too good with a bat, to not overcome any disparity.........

[Mattingly23NY]

Tanaka ruined Father's Day.

Yeah he did, and he also gave me heartburn, wheres the jumbo bottle of Tums......?

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Got a real gem out there now, gas can hell, this guy is JP4

 

[Rick2583]

11-2 now, Time to see if there's any good westerns on.

 

[Rick2583]

Yeah he did, and he also gave me heartburn, wheres the jumbo bottle of Tums......?

Rob look at the bright side, at least we've got the Giants & Dodgers on ESPN later on.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Honestly I've always enjoyed the smell of burning/burned JP4, always reminded me of a BBQ.......

I can't fkng believe it, the Bums as ya' know signed that huge contract with Time Warner Bros. Cable (TWB-C), broadcasting all home and away games.......

Yet, get this Rick, the Giants-Bums game is BLACKED OUT TODAY......! Here in So Cal........Yesterdays game in Chavez Ravine, was Blacked Out also, but not Friday's game.....

WTF- this new channel from TWB-C, was to resolve any and all blackouts, in So. Cal. I get MLB Xtra Innings, and flipped to the Giants Home Channel, and whooops its also blacking out todays game. I don't get it, you know it will be a Sale Out game, so why black it out..?? theres no revenue to increase, or anything positive to this black out.......

The Very Big Class Action Lawsuit The City of Los Angeles and its residents vs The Bums......from what I'm seeing and hearing, DirecTV still are not able to sign a deal to obtain any Bums broadcasts, but some changes are forthcoming, I hear.....but this is a step in the wrong direction........
