2009 MLB season discussion*

[Cephius]

yeah so, nominees for most unexpected thing about today's game:

1) Burnett actually standing to get the win
2) Cano getting a hit with 2 outs and RISP
3) Girardi outmanaging Scoscia

Also, the Yankees just scored 6 runs on 7 pitches.

[Eliseos]

Wow, Angels just gave up the series with that one. Way to go Scoscia. One of the more boring post seasons I've seen in a while. 3 sweeps in the wildcard, now looking like two series that go 4-1. Also, I fucking hate the Yankees

[TT]

wtf marte.

[Cephius]

And Burnett tries to give it right back by letting their two worst hitters get on base. Does anyone want to win this game?

[Kyo]

WHy do you bring marte in, I dun get it ;(

[fren.]

Rested bullpen and the first guy he goes to is our worst reliever, dude is a fucking rere.

[Cephius]

Yeah... Hughes or Robertson well rested and you go with Marte... what about Coke? Here comes the 900 pitching changes, this game ain't even close to over.

[TT]

Now pull him.

[Bozo]

Get into that Yankees bullpen.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

[Cephius]

Get into that Yankees bullpen.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

More like, make the manager do anything except make an obvious pitching change. This is the only way to beat the Yankees apparently.

Well, we should be thankful he only gave up one run. Why do you even bunt there anyway? The Yankees worst reliever on the mound, and the first thing you do is hand him an out?

[Bozo]

It doesn't really look like either team wants to win right now.

Edit: How bad has the Marte guy been before this outing?

[fren.]

That run was totally avoidable, what a fucking clown.

Edit: ^^^^ Marte has been a LOOGY mainly because he's been beyond shit all year.

[Cephius]

It doesn't really look like either team wants to win right now.

Edit: How bad has the Marte guy been before this outing?

He was okay at first, but then got hurt and was never really the same guy. Walked far too many guys and gave up a lot of homers.

[Cephius]

Hughes looks lost. Great. If he can't get Vladdy..

[Saga]

Just heard a Fox announcer say Marte had something like a 9.53 ERA in the regular season. Didn't hear if it was total or just against the Angels.

[Cephius]

FUCK man. Give me a fucking break with this. No one can get anyone out all of a sudden.

[Kyo]

Ahhhh saw that coming.

[Afrohatch]

Wow they tied it up!

[Bozo]

Burnett looks amazingly pissed and sick.

[Cephius]

I don't understand how Hughes can be lights out ALL YEAR and come into the playoffs and have zero command of his fastball. Makes no fucking sense.
