Absolutely right. That's what the Tigers said when they started 0-7 last year, and by the time September was over...

Oh, wait, we finished in last place.

Every game counts.

I love baseball too, at least I did when it was still "clean".

You must mean before it was "dirtied" by a DH rule in one league. <g>

NY finally wins behind Phil Huges as they shut out the Tigers 11-0

Ugh! That was such a depressing 7th inning. 0-0 at the start of the inning, 10-0 at the end of it. And all because Anderson misjudged a fly ball.

At very least we should have had one out (F7), and with Josh's arm I'm fairly sure the guy tagging at 3rd would have been out at the plate. As it was, 8 of the 10 runs are unearned. But I can't blame Anderson for everything. Our bullpen finally had its long anticipated implosion.

Hughes, BTW, was superb, as was Ed Jackson. Shame to see two really good quality starts remembered more for that disaster in the 7th.

I'm at the game tonight. It will be interesting to see what happens. Porcello goes for the Tigers (he's looked OK so far, but this is his first start at Comerica and playing the Yanks is always a big deal), with Joba starting for NY (I'm surprised he's not back in the bullpen by now, and he's started to walk a lot of batters, possibly due to throwing more breaking balls than when he worked in relief).

My daughter got a ball from Andy P and Joba's autograph last time we saw the Yanks. Think I'll go early for BP.

 

[DamnYankee]

I'm used to people hating them, it's no big deal to me.

When I was a kid, they always lost, it wasn't till I was 15 that I saw them win a world series, I spent my childhood hearing about Tom seaver and the mets, while the Yankees just sucked.

Then they won 2 World series, and didn't win again for 18 years.

So when people ***** about NY buying this or that, i laugh, all that money spent and i have onlt seen 6 titles in nearly 50 years.

George should ask for his money back.

What George should do is keep his nose out of management. You know, if you're going to gamble your money, it's a bit tacky to whine about losing your money.

But if GS kept his nose out of management, we'd all have one less thing to mock about the Yankees.

Georgie is old and senile and has not interfeared with team for over a decade.

Joba is a starter according to Cashman, they won't bullpen him, which is dumb, he is great at that, average as a starter.

 

[Xenophon]

NY holds on 8-6, excellent start for Joba, horrible bull pen again.

Pen whoas are becoming a real worry, Mo gave up a 3 run shot, not good.

Send Joba to the pen.

Ooooh, that was tough to watch. Another one big inning seals the Tigers fate.

Joba looked in trouble early on but got out of it. Then I looked at the scoreboard in the middle of the 6th or so and he'd thrown as many balls as he had strikes - 30 of each! The 5th and 6th instead of making him throw strikes we were swinging at anything. Tigers faced 10 pitches in the 5th and 6th inning combined! We came back in the 9th but it was too little too late and in all honesty if we'd won after batting that poorly it would have been an injustice.

Hats off to the Yanks, They took their chances, while the Tigers didn't.

 

[Xenophon]

Joba has been batling his control since they made him a starter.

He tends to become addicted to breaking balls and he misses a lot with them.

NY wins it's third in a row, taking it to the Angels 7-4.

 

[Xenophon]

NY mounts a furious comback to win it's forth straight.

Down 9-4 in the 8th, NY scored 4 in that frame and 2 in the 9th to defeat the Angels.

While, in the Twighlight Zone, the Tigers lose their 3rd straight, 6-5 to the Tribe.

On the other hand, the Red Wings went 1-0 in their series against the Ducks tonight, scoring the winner in the last minute. Whoo-hoo!!!
