NFT: 2 | New York Yankees vs. Tampa Bay Rays - Thurs. Ed

But I'm thankful that the Rangers are on so I don't need to watch CC get beat up.

Didn't expect that.

for a general baseball comment: this is just a friendly reminder for the end of season MVP watch that individuals only have so much influence on team success and can't really carry teams.

Mike Trout: 15 games, .323/.380/.646, with a wRC+ of 200. He has 5 HR and 12 RBI. He currently has the second highest Offensive rating.

Miguel Cabrera: 11 games, .227/.277/.364 with a wRC+ of 73 (below replacement level). He has 1 HR and 6 RBI.

Yet, the Tigers are 7-5 and in first in their division while the Angels are 7-8 which is good for fourth in their division.

TB vs the O's minor leaguers. A few ex Yankees on the roster, like Justin Christian and Betemit.

too bad it is at this dump of a stadium.

they are smoking the ball off price. 2-0 yanks.

Yeehaw.

3-0 yanks.

seeing Ellsbury get off to such a good start after the criticism for the monster deal. He is just a dangerous spark plug and it will be exciting if the other bats can be productive this year with Ellsbury in this lineup.

4-0 yanks

i was so happy when we got ellsbury. the best thing that happened is we significantly weakneed boston's lineup.

he is so much fun to watch with that awesome speed he has.

.

enjoying this one.

that completely out? thought for sure he would of made it to first base.

our future at 1B.

triple play!

triple play.

Triple play blotches!

That should give CC a jolt

triple play

Triple play!!

He couldn't look more disappointed that the yanks just turned three.

.

this is just one of those days where the Yankees are hitting everything. That was a good pitch to Soriano, he just golfed that.

double play in a flash

.

Sizemore at 1B.

And the second I finished explaining how rare triple plays are, there it was.

that was scary. looks like he is ok.

The Bulls 3 and 4 hitters are Christian and Betemit. Not really a prospect in either lineup, save Urrutia who is Cuban and 27. A few pitchers, sadly none of whom is starting tonight, but it makes me feel better about our AAA squad.

he only had his eye on the higher wall behind it. Lucky he wasn't hurt.

that Beltran didn't even see the low wall. His periphery likely saw that higher wall behind it and though that was the actual wall.

To have players like Solarte, Johnson, Sizemore, and Anna. They all play multiple positions and it adds to the teams flexibility. The Rays have been winning with these type players now for years.

it's going to be a great Yanks team.

the one big inning is always going to be a concern for him from now on.

by everyone involved. Everyone safe. Error on Roberts but Sizemore screwed up too.

just fucked us

double play!

Almost another triple play ...

of a play by Jeter

The horrible fielder

.

that was a bad play

Could have been worse.

Is the worst in the league. It's been that way for over a decade.

Is there sort of affirmative action for umps who look like a cross between Jabba the hutt and just a plain slob with an atrocious country album?

One good play doesnt change the fact that he's a well below average defensive player at this point

WooHoo!
