...and whoever's playing the Yankees - 2008 Game Thread

[redsoxrules]

so true, im so sick of people that were saying last year that we should of gotten millar to get the team going

This Tigers announcer can't get his tongue off of Jeter's sack.

"All these people say that Jeter has lost a step, watch him make that play, he's one of the top 5 SS in the game." (Jeter makes error)

I didn't know 26 to 6 was calling Tigers games.

Sort of weird - we were rooting against the tigers yesterday and rooting for them today.

Igawa getting back to last year's form by 3rd innings.

yeah their like WOW what a great relay that jeter made to home , he was safe BUT WOW that was an amazing turn and throw

[a700hitter]

Igawa is a joke. He'll be run back to the minors after 3-4 starts. Then what next..., David Wells. Let the good times roll.

[One Red Seat]

The call on the relay home was even worse.

RSR - regarding your comment about me and the offense in last night's thread - I am responding here because you did not put any swear words in your post.

I am still somewhat concerned with the offense (insert your favourite bashing line here).

Here are the things I am hoping will happen to make me happy:

1. Youk does not fall off after May and keeps hitting for surprising power.
2. Lowell shows that he can still play after a contract year ( unlike you know people like Posada).
3. Papi shows no ill effect from surgery.
4. Drew the enigma in our line-up plays well and stays on the field.
5. Lugo/Coco keeps getting a hit once in a while.

Was that too much to ask for?

It was be a mistake that the buck tooth Igawa tried to get the fastball by Sheffield.

1. Youk unlike the last few years I dont think he'll fall off to much
2.Lowell wont have a year like last year but he'l still have a decent one
3.Papi is on a 9 game hitting streaks , he looks great now
4.Drew will have a better year than last year
5. Lugo and coco have actually been hitting better than I expected so far

[redsoxrules]

Igawa getting smoked now 5-1 , runner 1st and 3rd no outs

buplen allready warming up..LOL

[a700hitter]

Betamit is a hack and Igawa is a AAA pitcher at best.

Gom, he's not ready for prime time.

Trade Kennedy to the Royals and he'll get by, but I really think that he's struggling in Gotham.

As an aside, I don't enjoy what's happening to the Yankees any more than you do. The lead isn't huge, but I cannot remember the Yankees being so shaken this century, even in 2005. I prefer a clash of two titans, not a Yankees team hanging on by smoke, mirrors and Joe Girardi's underappreciated management.

[a700hitter]

3 innings and 6 earned runs. His ERA is twice as high as Kannedy's and Hughes'
