John says:

The Sox 1-4 in the lineup took 103 pitches on Tuesday (Gammons pointed this out)

 

Okay, Donnie. Now, let’s buy a second rounder and get DeJuan Blair too.

 
Andy In Sunny Daytona says:

Toney Douglas + Darko Milic = Championship.

Seriously. It’s a good move for the Knicks, IMHO.

Yup. I’m happy with all three moves. And, we still have David Lee to sign-and-trade.

BigBlueAL says:

Seriously though, the Darko for Q trade is good, and this kid Douglas I like alot. Saw him alot in the ACC.

 
 
SS says:

Love the Darko trade – maybe he’ll actually come good.

 
Andy In Sunny Daytona says:

Darko was good with Dwight Howard, They played great together. If he’s stays interested and enthused, he plays real well.

 
 
 
Zach says:

How many times do I have to hear that the Cavs will have the best pre-game dance next year?

 
 
John says:

the thread says 4 comments but shows only 3

The trackback counts as a comment. I linked to this thread in DotF.

 
 
 

I get a sick pleasure when Kay says a ball is “fisted” to the opposite field. Is that wrong?

SS says:

I’d gladly take Kay over the Braves announcers. They’re total idiots.

 
Accent Shallow says:

If Michael Kay producing sexual innuendos turns you on, then yes, yes that is wrong.

 

What about when Wang pounds one in on the hands?

 
John says:

What droppin deuces on people? What about the Yankees breaking out on A-jax’ granny?

 
 
Accent Shallow says:

Maybe the offense should save some hits for the Mets series

V says:

Maybe the offense should get 30 hits tonight, in each of the Mets games, and every game for the rest of the year, including the playoffs.

King of Fruitless Hypotheticals says:

…and still go 3-15 w/risp…

 
Accent Shallow says:

Disagree. With that many baserunners, someone’s bound to pull something.

 
King of Fruitless Hypotheticals says:
 
 
 
 

So, since Ivan asked before:

2009-2010 Knicks
1-Chris Duhon, Nate Robinson, Point Guard X (acquired for David Lee)
2-Larry Hughes, Toney Douglas
3-Wilson Chandler, Danilo Gallinari
4-Al Harrington, Jordan Hill, Jared Jeffries
5-Eddy Curry, Undrafted Rookie X

Ivan says:

You forgot Darko at the PF position.

Ah, right, my bad.

2009-2010 Knicks
1-Chris Duhon, Nate Robinson, Point Guard X (acquired for David Lee)
2-Larry Hughes, Toney Douglas
3-Wilson Chandler, Danilo Gallinari
4-Al Harrington, Jordan Hill, Jared Jeffries
5-Darko Milicic, Eddy Curry, Undrafted Rookie X

In D’AntoniBall, Darko’s a center, baby!

 
 
 
Accent Shallow says:

Ball 3 to A-Rod sure looked like strike 3 on TV.

John says:

not on Gameday and strike 3 was mostly ball but borderline. However, that has been called ball all day but was called strike this time.

 
King of Fruitless Hypotheticals says:

Was hopin for the cycle :)

 
 
BigBlueAL says:
 
Accent Shallow says:

Hughes up in the pen? Guess they’re confident that Sabathia’s ok and won’t have any issues.

 
Accent Shallow says:

Coke just makes McLouth look like an amateur. Love it.

 

Oooh, Sergio Rodriguez to the Kings for two second rounders, one of whom is Jeff Pendergraph.

Interesting. Nice pickup for the Kings.

 
Andy In Sunny Daytona says:

The Maloofs are taking their Beers Of The World collection to a whole other level.

 
 
Andy In Sunny Daytona says:

I am so much happier with Ransom on the team than Berroa.

JobaWockeeZ says:

Yeah today he read RAB so he could put his foot in my mouth. Congrats Ransom you made me like you better than Berroa sicne I know you’re reading this.

 
 
Zach says:

Q to Memphis for Darko

 

This situation has “Brett Tomko” written all over it.

 
Accent Shallow says:

Why are Hughes and Robertson up? This is Tomko Time(tm)

 
Ivan says:

Why are most Yankee fans are Jet fans, and most Met fans are Giant fans?

LiveFromNewYork says:

It’s the opposite. Yankee/Giants Mets/Jets

Yup. I’m a rare breed.

But you knew that already, didn’t you? Of course you did.

LiveFromNewYork says:

Yes, that is really true.

I was going to note the old SNL reference you made in the first thread but it was just as they closed it (Franco still dead). That was priceless.

Even for a Jets fan.

Jane, you ignorant slut.

LiveFromNewYork says:

Ackroyd killed with that. I don’t think slut was ever said on tee vee before that.

 
 
 
VO says:

I’m with you Yanks, Jets, Knicks all the way.

 
 
 
Ivan says:

It doesn’t seem so to me.

My friend is a huge yankee fan, is a Jet Fan
Mike Alexia is a Jet Fan
Tommie is a Jet fan.

LiveFromNewYork says:

A sample of 3. I guess you’re right. Or maybe you should get out and meet more people.

Ivan says:

Well maybe it’s me.

I have one friend who’s Yankees/Jets, but I think every other Yankees fan I know is also a Giants fans. I definitely know more Giants/Mets fans than Yanks/Jets.

LiveFromNewYork says:

agree. I don’t have any Yankee/Jets friends but do have Mets/Giants friends but mostly everyone I know is Yankees/Giants and Mets/Jets.

(Comments wont nest below this level)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Teix is the man says:

putvin tomko, not d-rob

 
 
Accent Shallow says:

McCann really has Robertson’s number. That’s 2 jacks in 2 AB.

 
 
max says:

btw ball #2 to McCann (the one before the homer) was strike #3 on gameday

 

So, since he’s Spanish, is Sergio Llull pronounced “Sergio Yuy?

 

STFU, Yunel. A-Rod was called out on the same pitch.

 

Grizzles get Sam Young at #36. A steal.

And the Spurs get Blair right afterwards. Nice.

 
 
Evan says:

Robertson > Francoeur

 
Accent Shallow says:
LiveFromNewYork says:

Not really. I don’t think that joking about a person on the night of his death is really that funny.

And, it’s old. If they had some new funny material, maybe, but… nah.

 
 
 
yankees=warriors says:

Man, and we still end up using Mo in this game?
Not good…

You know, he still kinda needs the work anyway.

And he’ll most likely get it during the Mets’ series. There’s no need to use him with a four run lead when there’s only one out left and the tying run isn’t on base/at the plate. Let Robertson work out of it.

Zach says:

I just want this game to end so i’m all for Mo coming in. Plus its like 10 pitches at the most

 
 
 
 
 
BigBlueAL says:

Well, at least Mo will get my fantasy team a save.

 

I’m actually really mad at Joe Girardi right now. This is fucking stupid. I don’t care if it’s just one out. This is dumb.

yankees=warriors says:

Well, records and stats mean everything to them these days.

 
chriskeo says:

i understand that, but this is the right move, if robertson could create the situation he could give up more runs, rather just go to mo

Zach says:

right, 1 base hit and then its a 2 run game then you have to bring Mo in anyways. Just bring Mo in and end the game

 

I definitely think Robertson could’ve gotten out of that and I think, with a four run lead, you should let the kid work out of it.

 
 
Drew says:

Don’t be mad at Joe, be mad at Andy. Joe is just securing the W. 8-1, should never involve Mo, but it did.

 
 
Accent Shallow says:

Robertson, thanks for allowing Mariano to enter. Smooth.

BigBlueAL says:

My fantasy team thanks Robertson. :-)

 
 
chriskeo says:
 
Accent Shallow says:
 
yankees=warriors says:

Thank God it’s over.
Though we evetually won, this game wasn’t particularly fun to watch.

 
Drew says:

Andy did the opposite of good today.

chriskeo says:

but the important thing is Derek Lowe did worse

 
 

Chris Wallace just said “Memphis is a great basketball city with tremendous legacy in the game”.

With a straight face. Amazing.

Drew says:

Calipari put them on the map I suppose. Or was this NBA talk?

 
 
 
Drew says:

My team’s up at 43! It’s been a longggggggggg wait.

Gani Lawal would do wonders for the Heat.

Drew says:

Ugh, Riley knows what’s up, but a scorer is really not what I was looking for…

 
 
 
Andy In Sunny Daytona says:

Chase Buddinger, welcome to Beach Volleyball.

Chase Budinger’s ceiling is J.J. Redick.

That’s his ceiling.

 
 
Zach says:

i hate dick vitale

Drew says:

DICKIE VEEEEEE BABYYY

 
 
Dela G says:

man i am so happy the yankees won today

andy looked like garbage, but a rod was clutch money today

 

Heh.

The Pacers drafted Tyler Hansborough and A.J. Price.

Epic FAIL.

/stink-eye

I think Price will make a serviceable sixth man at the NBA level.

Perhaps.

Do you consider the D-League the “NBA level” since they’re owned by the NBA? No?

Then he won’t. Price is a 9th man at best.
