Game 17: A pitcher’s duel today, maybe?
ByThey say the best way to get over an ex is to find someone else. In the same manner, the best way to forget about a loss is to see a win the next day. Hell, even watching a new game is enough to quell the feelings from last night’s game. After all, it hurt a lot more emotionally than it did in the reality of baseball.
Before we get into the highly-anticipated pitching matchup, let’s catch up with the injuries. Cody Ransom has been placed on the 60-day DL with a quad injury. This opens up a 40-man spot. Brian Bruney has been placed on the 15-day DL with a “strained flexor mass” in his elbow. It’s a muscle injury, rather than a ligament one, so that’s decent news. He’ll start therapy on the elbow with hopes that he’ll start throwing again next week. We can be optimistic now, but remember that Ben Sheets was optimistic all winter about his elbow, which had sustained an injury to the flexor tendon. Hopefully Bruney’s isn’t nearly as severe. Finally, Chien-Ming Wang is on the DL with “weakness in his hips.” You can see the news on Wang and Ransom here, while the bit on Bruney is here.
Onto the replacements. David Robertson is up for Chien-Ming Wang. Angel Berroa is up for Cody Ransom. They had to add the former to the 40-man roster, but didn’t have to make a move since Ransom was placed on the 60-day, thus temporarily removing him from the active 40-man. Mark Melancon has been recalled to replace Bruney in the bullpen. To clear 40-man room for him, they have straight-up released Humberto Sanchez. Since he was not designated for assignment, which would expose him to waivers, my guess is that he’ll sign a minor league deal to return to the Yanks and continue to work back to health. We’ll see on that, though.
Finally, onto the pitching match ups. In his career A.J. Burnett has tossed 56.1 innings against the Red Sox to a 2.56 ERA, striking out 53 to 21 walks, and allowing just 44 hits. Last year he pitched 27.2 innings against them, allowing nine runs (eight earned) and 21 hits while striking out 24 to 13 walks. The walks won’t help out all that much, but if Burnett can keep the Sox to two runs over seven innings that would be superb.
The Yanks’ drubbing of Josh Beckett in 2006 really hurt his career numbers vs. the team. His ERA stands at 5.33 in 74.1 innings pitched. His strikeouts are relatively low against the Yanks: 59 in those 74.1 innings, against 29 walks. Like Burnett against the Sox, Beckett pitched 27.2 innings against the Yanks last year. He allowed 10 runs in those innings, striking out 20 to 5 walks. Over the past few years, as opposed to 2006, Beckett has come out of the gates throwing strikes, hence his low walk total against them last year.
Lineup:
1. Derek Jeter, SS
2. Johnny Damon, LF
3. Mark Teixeira, 1B
4. Nick Swisher, RF
5. Robinson Cano, 2B
6. Jorge Posada, C
7. Hideki Matsui, DH
8. Angel Berroa, 3B
9. Brett Gardner, CF
And on the mount, number thirty-four, A.J. Burnett.

What does it say that my first reaction was “thank goodness Mike didn’t post the game thread?”
whats funny is this is exact opposite of how we felt last year
Luckily the NFL draft takes 10 minute per pick so you don’t miss anything during each half inning.
Thats why they invented PIP, i’ll prob post what happens in drafy.
I got a question for Yankee fans. If the Yanks win and your wearing a certain yankee shirt or jersey do you keep wearing it until they lose?
Helll no, I watch the games in the nude all day everyday.
well, kind of but not really? There’s this one new shirt I have that when I wear it the Yanks are 4-0. So, instead of wearing it twice in a row, I’ll wear it like twice a week or whenever its really important to win, like against Cleveland game 2 and 4 (because my teacher is big Indians fan and I said they stunk, so it was necessary to tie up the series after a loss.)
Haha I did the exact same thing in 07 with a Kerry Collins jersey I had (Giants). I went to the Giants-Skins game in Week 3 wearing it (when they were 0-2 at the time), then when they beat the Jets, and then all 4 playoff games. 6-0 wearing that thing. Best thing good ole Kerry ever did.
Am I the only one that wants Pena to start over Berroa?
nope, at least Pena can pick it and 3rd
I really hope we see a pitchers duel today.
Were there any other options besides Angel Berroa for third base? Personally, I would rather see Pena start everyday, I mean if he is going to be up here, he should at least play.
Eric Duncan was the only other option, but he’s been moved to the outfield.
Leapfrof with Malec, after all they brought Halsey up from AA to start.
I still can’t get over yesterday, even though it’s only April. But if we win the series and can steal one from them later in the year, I would be ecstatic.
Last night will be all but forgotten if we win today and tomorrow.
Should I start Beckett in my fantasy team today?
yes, It’s a win-win. If he sucks, good news for the yanks, if he’s great, good news for your fantasy team.
its also a lose-lose…if he sucks, it sucks for his fantasy team. If he’s great, bad news for the Yanks.
It’s also a win-win. lol
so it’s a win-lose?
no, a win-win-lose-lose
NO!!! then you’ll root for him
I’ll hope Beckett only gives up one run while Burnett gives up none so it’s just enough to win the ball game.
As long as there is no bitching if he gets killed or cheering if he’s not hitting us. Real fandom >>>>>>>>>>>>> fantasy
And no glass half full statements either. Can we add those to the RAB commenter guidelines?
**no hitting
I was wearing my Rivera shirt yesterday.
Today, I am wearing a green spaghetti strap top from Old Navy.
Hot.
I’m wearing my sabathia jersey with my game used(by Melancon) Trenton Thunder hat.
Yesterday, I wore men’s clothing and the Yanks lost. Therefore…..
Photos or it didn’t happen.
I want to see pictures of both of you in your green spaghetti strap tops!!!
I am not nearly attractive enough.
I saw your picture the other day and I have a differnet opinion on that.
This is the most recent picture of me…the baby is not mine…
http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/h.....5246_n.jpg
That does not change my opinion either.
Wellllll, brunette’s are fine and blonds are fun, but when it comes to gettin’ a dirty job done….
Becks,
congrats on predicting Melancon will choose #39.
srsly?
O_O;;
Yep.
http://yankees.lhblogs.com/200.....ent-747588
Burnett needs to go deep in the game, set a commanding tone early, and limit the walks. If he can do that then we will win this game.
Ok whos first born are we sacraficing to get the season back on track. I already spent mines on the Giants superbowl win.
My brother’s firstborn is still five days away…
http://www.jason-varitek.com/i.....08news.jpg
I am wearing my Raiders jersey. The draft is on one TV, the game is on the other.
Holy crap, how frickin’ high are the walls in citi field?
ahahaha, did anyone see peteabes last update?!
Girardi said on the pregame that Bruney had some inflammation in the flexor, not the ligament. So they’re just going to DL him to let him heal, but there’s no real long term danger.
Cant wait to see Melancon. And Hughes, for that matter.
and of course, Lohud had this 90 minutes ago.
“UPDATE, 2:30 p.m.: Bruney has what they are calling a strained flexor mass. His ligaments are fine, it’s a muscle injury. He will not throw for a week and they’re hoping that takes care of it.
It’s “mix and match” time in the eighth inning according to Girardi.
Ransom hasn’t had an MRI yet but they’re convinced his tear is serious and so he’s on the 60.
Also, Sanchez was flat-out released, not DFA’d. His inability to stay healthy caught up to him. The Sheffield trade hasn’t worked out too well. Sanchez was the key to that deal. They also got Anthiny Claggett and Kevin Whelan.”
From PeteAbe:
“If you remember nothing else from this blog remember this: Never shake hands with Tim McCarver if you see him coming out of a bathroom. That’s all I’m going to say. Just don’t.”
http://yankees.lhblogs.com/200.....e-molinas/
WTF???
You beat me
Wow, scratches his ass from under his pants and STILL doesn’t wash his hands, huh?
What a savage. No wonder he hates the Yanks. He hates civilized, big city types.
ewewewewewewewew
And I still think you’re being a bit…say, gentle…in describing what probably happened…
Yeah, it took me a while to comprehend what a complete barbarian this guy is. But know I know what you mean.
So my Skins got lucky 13..
Rather intriguing update from PeteAbe:
”
UPDATE, 3:50 p.m.: If you remember nothing else from this blog remember this: Never shake hands with Tim McCarver if you see him coming out of a bathroom. That’s all I’m going to say. Just don’t.”
That’s the kind of inside info I love.
Also, it seems ridiculous to me that anyone could call the Sheffield trade bad.
Starting condition:
No Gary Sheffield
Ending condition:
No Gary Sheffield + Claggett, Whelan and Sanchez
Even if none of them ever get to the big leagues, what did the Yanks lose?
I feel sorry for his producer. This animal drops a deuce and doesn’t wash his hands, and now he’s going to hand him his microphone between innings. Next thing you know the guy is having his lunch, which consists of a sandwich, potato chips and celery sticks and then he spends the next 3 hours with the runs.
Poor bastard. He’ll never know what hit him.
Kenny R: A-Rod could be back on May 8th.
Lions take Stafford – I didn’t see that one coming. Really thought they would be getting Crabtree or Heyward-Bey.
Mel Kiper Jr. is the man
Think they get Swish to read the line up again?
that would be awesome. Melancon would be awesome too.
what? no special announcer? boo.
Lineup looks much better knowing Berroa isn’t as much of an automatic out as Ransom.
Not yet…
The Yankees have hit Beckett to the tune of a .772 OPS for his career. Keep it going, Yanks.
Something to watch for: Posada catching AJ. Hasn’t Hava caught AJ all three times so far? Think this will make for anything disastrous.
He has to eventually, unless Girardi wants personal catchers…
I hate Lowell. Robbed 2 hits so far.
I still hate Mike Lowell.
Funny story, my close friend was on a plane from Buffalo to Boston last year, and Lowell was on the flight, but my friend couldn’t understand what was so special about it since he’s not a baseball fan…
Can someone please tell Mike Lowell enough with the good plays at third base?
I think he’s trying to prove to everyone that he never had hip surgery.
WTF is that on Beckett’s chin?
What I call stuff like that isn’t appropriate for a family blog.
That shit on his chin has some shit on its chin.
IETC.
Ask Tim McCarver.
Have they mispronounced “Melancon” yet?
Yay! The Yankees won’t get no-hit =D!
Johnny D. is unimpressed by your fastball.
He said “Ho-Hum” to that shit.
it should be 2 on, no outs. I hate you Lowell.
3* on now..
should be bases loaded, no outs. seriously damn you Lowell.
Bases chucked no one out…but then again, maybe it’s a good thing the Yankees don’t have that situation…
2nd Overall Pick (Rams): Jason Smith (OT / Baylor)
STFU Tim.
I love how John Smoltz was a great signing for the Sox, yet he hasn’t pitched yet.
BARD ZOMG1!!!11! TEH 100MPH!!1!11!
Cmon Yanks PLEASE GET A HIT WITH RISP!
Is it me or does Beckett look like he throws EXTREMELY hard. The popping of the mitt is nuts.
Swish looks happy.
Nice catch on that cross-up by Varitek. I’m serious.
Holy fuck up Tim ass-scratching McCarver =D
I hope that McCarver thing catches on…
There was just a scout for the Reds at the UConn game. I chatted w/him a bit, he said the UConn pitcher’s slider was going 88.
work that count, Swish.
I’ll put in my two cents again. Maybe we could try a chat during games? Like one where anyone can comment at any time. That way we wouldn’t have to keep reloading these pages with all these comments. It’s tough because they come pretty quickly. Plus it’d be fun to have even more instant-type-feedback. Any word from the mods?
We’ve been over this. It would be way too hectic, no reply buttons everybody just adding their 2 cents. No conversations would be happening b/c everybody would talking about different shit.
Lets give it a try. Oh just once and see how it actually happens
I’ve tried it via another active community. It doesn’t work.
It would just seem more fun than having to go through the drab of reloading the page every so often to find comments. Plus when the thread gets to like 200, it is hard to go through it. Give us a chat and maybe a thread too then?
Haven’t you guys ever heard of IRC? It would be just like that
Swish really do hate Beckett.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgZi-zaOshQ
Wooo!
How good is Swish!?
Noodle arm!
I <3 SWISH!
Swisher is the MAN
Love that Swisher at-bat.
from two quick strikes to a full count then a base hit. great job.
In my view, as good as the Yankees were in the first half of this game, that’s how as bad they’ve been now.
That was a great AB by Swish.
Teix should have tagged.
I’d prefer Posada batting 5th, Cano 6.
Maybe we’ll score more runs if we don’t put runners in scoring position…
We’ve already got 2. Jeez Louise
3rd Overall Pick (KC): Tyson Jackson (DE / LSU)
Yay Jorgie!
Mighty Mouse, baby!
Posada hit a good pitch there.
Hip Hip Jorge!
Does Tex look funny running to anyone else?
He looks like he’s riding dolphins, doin flips and shit.
This inning was definitely on a boat.
LOL
Nice inning so far.
run up that pitch count.
Beckett needs to shave those pubes on his chin.
Prison Pussy. Heh. I said it.
Damn you KC! I wanted the Broncos to get Jackson! Hopefully, McDouchebag does not draft Sanchez or Wells.
Beckett’s over 30 pitches already. Love it.
Tyson Jackson = OVERDRAFT.
C’mon bases juiced for Berroa.
Matsui swung at ball four there…
How many pitches did Beckett throw that inning?
36.
Bad at-bat by Matsui.
Matsui saw 5 balls and swung at 2 of them
The strikezone seems really tight today, I hope we don’t get wild AJ today.
Great start so far.
4th Overall Pick (Seattle) : Aaron Curry (LB / Wake Forest)
Their line-up is even sponsored by Taco Bell.
c’mon Aj, dominate those Sox.
AJ’s demonic smile=money
Aaron Curry. #4
Seahawks drafted Curry. I can’t believe the Chiefs passed on him.
The Jets are so not gonna get Sanchez though, they’re too far down.
Lil’ Fighter.
LOL “little fighter”, “as feisty as it gets”
So who else was impressed with Robertson’s two IP last time up. Can he actually be a legit reliever?
Definitely. He’s got a great K rate and once he gets a handle on his control (down to his MiL mark of 3.6), he’ll be very good.
stupid rat.
Remember that I called in the beginning of the year the AJ will have the best year out of the whole pitching staff.
Why don’t you remember us AT THE END OF THE DAMN SEASON
Nope I know. Stay tuned. This guy wants to win. I’m telling you.
Someone, give this man a plastic trophy.
What the fuck is Tim McCarver talking about?
What is he ever talking about. Maybe too many foul tips off the mask as a youngster.
Timmy is high and dope right now.
Too many balls to the face in general.
Nothing beats Tito’s comment yesterday, and I quote “His balls were flying all over the place”
IETC.
Listed at 33 years old. Listed.
Angel Berroa status lol.
Where? BB-Reference says 31…
According to Fox.
Ortiz best hitter of all time? yeah right.
Yeah till drug testing got more stringent.
I <3 Big Papi
Nice 1st inning. I love to see Papi struggle.
B-e-a-utiful. I heart the newer, suckier David Ortiz.
Stick a fork in him. He’s done.
Angel, welcome to the New York Yankees.
Man, some of you guys are heartless.
It’s kind of a beautiful thing.
So begins the Angel Experiment.
JETS TRADE UP TO #5 FROM BROWNS
Who did they trade?
Hah, there’s TSJC on the draft broadcast.
Damn, you beat me.
A BALL IN PLAY BY A YANKEE THIRD BASEMAN!!1!1!1!!!!!!!!1!
I just saw TSJC on TV while watching the draft.
should i be creeped out u know what he looks like well enough to recognize him in a 3 second clip?
Haha no. I have a pretty good memory (not to mention that Mike recognized him as well).
I just looked for the guy with the jersey half on, half off.
Oh shnizzle that was TSJC?!?!LMAO!!!!
he’s the one with the shirt half on, half off, right? everyone knows what he looks like.
So how long is Melky going to out OPS+ Big Papi?
J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS….Have a quarterback!
5th Overall Pick (NYJ from CLE) : Mark Sanchez (QB / USC)
Way to go, Brett!
Wow, Berroa and Gardner just looked overmatched.
Jets getting it done.
Jets are getting sanchez
was that 5 pitches to get through Berroa and Gardner? jeez
J-E-E-T! JEET JEET JEET!
dumb question – is there a website I can listen to the game online without any kinda paid membership thing? I’m at work with no TV…
nope, not legally anyway.
http://player.play.it/player/p.....estat=wcbs
thanks very much! I was under the impression they only played news…
No problem man. However I can help. It’s better than listening to Buck and McCarver
a root canal is better than mccarver. and as stephen king said, he “is the reason why the mute button was invented.”
hahahahha TSJC… oh man.
Anyone watching the draft, they showed TSJC
Oh Timmy butt scratchin’ boy, the Yankees won in 1956…
Just saw TSJC on ESPN right? Funny.
He’s really on TV?
Was he happy or booing the pick
Looked like a happy Tommie to me.
Can we get a screen grab or a clip, eventually? This is a moment.
Jets stole my QB, MFers
Stupid fucking trade.
What does tjsc think of the sanchez pick?
Who is TJSC?
RAB regular tommiesmithjohncarlos a/k/a Ridiculous Upside
How do you know what he looks like?
He’s showed us pictures of himself at previous drafts. He’s the dude all the way on the right:
http://thesportshernia.typepad.....fans_2.jpg
I see, cool, thanks
Does anyone else love this square butts commercial?
Jets trade 1st round pick (17), 2nd round pick, Kenyon Coleman, Brett Ratliff, Abram Elam for Browns 1st pick (5)
Not a bad trade up
holy crap they must think the world of this kid.
Even if you’re not a huge Sanchez fan, that trade up is damn good
That’s A LOT.
Besides Elam I’m not a fan of Coleman and Ratliff was going to be a (good) #3 anyway, they would have picked up some other QB whether it was Campbell or whoever no matter what
Looks like Mangini wanted some of his former players.
Okay after this half inning I’m putting the A/C in the window.
AJ’s curve has been off the last 2 games.
6th Overall Pick (Cincinatti) : Andre Smith (OT / Alabama)
doesn’t seem like the brightest pick, unless they like huge manboobs. I figured the Bengals were more into criminals though
Aysh Bay, go walk the plank =D
Anyone else see that baby crying when Andre Smith got picked
Andre Smith, helping out Palmer.
Swish is so awesome he predicted where that ball would land before it was hit
Mike Lowell doing his best Cody Ransom impression there.
Good God Burnett is nasty!
Any one ever realize how slow of a team the Sox are? Yet they are really good defensively.
Pure Grit
7th Overall Pick (Oakland): Darrius Heyward-Bey (WR / Maryland)
I’m officially confused now
Typical Raiders…LMAO at The crypt keeper(Davis.)
LOL I thought the Giants were gonna get him by some mock drafts I saw. Great pick Oakland =/
Overdraft of Heyward-Bey?
By mile……
Granted I’m just a fan thats heard a shit load of draft coverage from everywhere, I would not have been shocked if he went in the last quarter of the 1st, he is speed and suspect hands
Wow, DH-B over Crabtree.
Epic fail. Why would you ever pass on Crabtree for another WR.
And it’s not even the Lions who are reaching for a WR
Youve got to love how we are shortening their starters to about 5 innings.
Fenway Park is NOT a big ball park.
Cano…patience.
I’ll STFU now.
That swing and miss was almost comical.
Grit comes in by boat to the Boston Harbor where it is hailed as wicked ahsome. Then it is trucked through the Ted Williams tunnel where it is wicked admired by everyone in their cahs. Then it makes it way over to Fenway and dumped into the Sux locker room where its wicked psyched to be heah.
HELL YEA CANO!
Cano = awesome.
Fuck you JB!!!
BAM CANO
BLAST!
ROBBBBBBBBBBYYYYYYYYYYYYY! FOUR ZIP!
Fuck you beckett.
Robby!
You see, real second basemen with power can hit home runs sans the aid of the Green Monster.
That doesn’t make much sense since the Wall takes away more Home Runs than it gives. (Except when talking about wallscrapers)
How he hit that out, I have no idea.
dude, seriously..who would wear a Brewers jersey to a Yank/Sox game?
epic fail.
ietc
There was a guy in my section the other day in a Pirates jersey and hat. At a Yankees – Oakland game. Fail.
People in Chicago do that all the time, when I lived there I used to see people in full Cubs gear at Sox games and vice versa. I don’t get it at all.
Thank you Pesky Pole.
Hmm, Beckett is throwing an awful lot of breaking balls…
Robbie Cano, whaddya know.
Robbie doesn’t like Beckett’s chin hair.
Is it mandatory to grow facial hair when on the sox?
It’s a sign of scrappiness and gives them “Street cred”. It’s the whole “I’m too busy working my butt off to shave” thing.
Isn’t it nice when everything is working right? Offense is hitting, Pitching is doing well, now we just need the bullpen to shut em down.
Hideki getting back to his old habits of rolling over on outside pitches.
Heyward bay has the raw athleticism but lacks polish, I guess with the raiders not looking to win now don’t mind, that said if you’re going that direction (i.e. higher risk) I’d have gone Harvin.
Michael Crabtree says hello.
And Maclin
Nick Green can’t field, ahh the memories of him playing for the Yanks 3 years ago.
8th Overall Pick (Jacksonville): Eugene Monroe (OT / Virginia)
Beckett with 70 pitches so far, awesome!!
Wait. Our 3b just got a hit?
That’s just sad, Berroa got a hit off of Beckett.
Angel Berroa with his first hit since the Dead Ball Era.
Oh, my bad… Didn’t realize the jokes not really funny anymore.
Thank you.
Eh, now I feel bad, I shouldn’t pick on Pete Abe, he takes enough punishment and I think he does a nice job with his blog (whether I agree with some of his opinions or not). That joke was actually funny, to me, when he first wrote it, he just beat it into the ground.
Station to station kind of line up? Ehhhh not exactly.
Oh shit! I just heard a bird flapping it’s wings outside and it sounded like it was struggling so I looked outside. There was this huge bird with a dead bird in it’s claws, and there was blood smeared onto the concrete in my backyard. And I live in Staten Island, NY. I have no clue what kind of bird that was but it was gigantic.
Albatross.
picture?
I failed to get any of the bird (I couldn’t get my camera fast enough) but I got some of the leftover feathers and blood (I will put up a link in a minute).
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wi.....a_1837.jpg
Dude, I was sitting in traffic waiting to go into the Lincoln Tunnel a few years ago, and there was a flock of pigeons chillin’ on top of one of the big billboards where you make the loop to go into the city. A hawk came swooping in and picked off one of the pigeons from atop the billboard, and there was a huge puff of feathers. I was sitting in the car like “did that really just happen?”
My dad was driving with the moon roof open and he saw a fuckin crow or whatever dive bombing him. Instead of pulling up the thing hit the car (while it was moving), feathers and blood everywhere inside the car. When it all settled down the head was in the console by the parking brake, the body was in the back by the speakers. That was freaky when he came home covered in blood and shit all over the car
I went to college in Staten Island, Wagner College, and there was a resident hawk on campus that would routinely decapitate squirrels.
Station to Station. 7 of the 9 guys are not station to station.
What? Can you name the 7 so the rest of us can make fun of the list?
Gardner is weak.
My air conditioner is making weird noises I’m a little freaked.
Becks,
to back up my point about you correctly predicting the number game. here: http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player....._id=453343
I hope it eats you!
I keed, I keed. This heat is making me a bit delirious, I wasn’t prepared for it at all.
Did they seriously just ask Joe Girardi about NASCAR?
It’s FOX, just be happy they didn’t ask him if he would swap wives with a Red Neck for a week for the chance to win $1,000,000.
holy crap, 2 outs already? nice.
9th Overall Pick (Green Bay): BJ Raji (DT / BC)
(Probably, hasn’t been officially announced yet, but his camp was going crazy celebrating, and unless they have a relative that just went into space I don’t see any other reason to celebrate like that)
official now
Tortorella flips a shit: http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/.....fans-23522
idk why that was posted as a reply
Erin Andrews is a babe
Shes looking top notch today.
I’m so loyal to Melissa Stark that I think it makes me not like EA as much as everyone else. Melissa is the original. There can only be one.
There can
onlybe only one.Geek fail.
Dude that pinetar on Pedroia’s bat is way too high.
It is said that the Yankee’s facial hair policy is corporate, but I think the management is doing the players a favor by preventing them from making themselves look like douche bags (example A: Youklis, example B: Pedroia, and so on)
What is it with white guys in the majors and douchey facial hair?
Case in point: several members of the St. Louis Cardinals
Worst Sawx Facial hair:
5- V-Tek’s Grit-tee
4- Pedroia’s Grit Stubble
3- Beckett’s Soul Patch
2- Youk’s “Captain Lou Albano” Beard
and #1 by a mile
Dice-K’s Pubestache
As a packers fan I like the Raji pick, Orakpo could have been great too, but he could be Gholston v 2.0
Orakpo is a bit more polished than Gholston, and better against the run.
There’s nothing wrong with Gholston YET. Mario Williams took a year to get accustomed to the league (remember when he was being called a bust at the end of his first season), I have absolutely no problem giving Gholston the same time. Especially now that Gholston has Ryan to coach him
Goodness, Bronson Arroyo is horrible.
Yikes, Varitek double clutched and Jeter still barely made it.
Is it just me or did it look like he slid REALLY early?
10th Overall Pick (SF): Michael Crabtree (WR / Texas Tech)
Crabtree is a 49er? Don’t they need a quarterback first?
They have Alex Smith to play QB.
Mark Teixeira: These boots are made for walking…
Mark Teixeira: These cleats are made for walking…
..correction fixed.
Will Orakpo really slip to my skins!!!??
oh look, Boston is sending their rookie pitcher out. hopefully their bats will be alive!!
Beckett is gettin’ shelled!
Check that, 6-0!!!
Swisher should really be more careful when he calls time-out.
Safety first.
Thats my shit
Dude keep that stuff to yourself. Overshare.
Cano = clutch hitter today!
Way to be, Robbie!
Canó Can Do! YAY ROBBIE!
Robbie Cano! Dont ya know!
Ah, good ol’ Robbie.
But we’re station to station
Cano you are redeemed after yesterday. Hell you’re more than redeemed.
11th Overall Pick (Buffalo): Aaron Maybin (DE / Penn State)
IT’S ROBBIE CANO, DON’T CHA KNOW!
Bonus call for Beckett there…stupid.
Anyone else growing tired of the wolverine claws everytime they show a replay….
It really isn’t that good of a movie.
Melancon should just be arriving.
