Yankees 9, Orioles 1: Hughes great again

Today we witnessed the retirement of one of the dozen or so greatest position players ever, as well as what may turn out to be one of the most notoriously horrific blown calls in the history of the game. 

In the midst of that, Phil Hughes spun what is becoming a typical outing for him this season, the sixth time in 10 starts he's gone 7 innings and allowed 2 or fewer earned runs.

On offense, every hitter except Tex and Cervelli reached base, and once the Yankees led 6-0 after the third, the game was basically over.

Play of the Game: somewhat surprisingly, this goes to Curtis Granderson's 2-run double in the second, which increased the Yankees' chances of winning by 13.9%

Quote of the Game: goes to FreeBradshaw.  Somebody posted the address of Major League Baseball, suggesting we write to Bud Selig to express our feelings, which prompted this:

I'm gonna send him nude pictures of Ernest Borgnine

LOL!

Love it when my ridiculousness gets the comment of the game.

Nice to see Hughes throw a good game for once. When the hell is he gonna live up to the hype?

umping this year has been horrible

on the side note: Toronto just laid down the rays after leading them in the last 2 games for over 8 innings each game. But off course they are prolly gonna be a pesky bunch once the yanks plays them. Rays recently have slowed down and we can catch em easily right now..When do they start playing contenders?

I was at the game tonight

I was grabbing a burger when I saw the TV screen at the Johnny Rocket’s stand in the bleachers flash that Galarraga had a perfect game through 6.

Came back home and saw this. I immediately went to the tigers site to see the replay. WOW. Honestly, if I’m that umpire, the only way I call him safe is if he is through the bag. Anything bang bang like that, he’s out. I’m not taking chances and that kid is getting his perfect game. Even the dude who hit the ball seemed to feel bad that he was called safe.

And I’m surpirsed there was nothing in the game wrap up about how Cano continued his hot hitting and the way Grandy was stroking line drives tonight.

I believe in the Church of Baseball

personal attacks that are outside the subject matter of the blog warrant stronger responses (or no responses).

I wouldn’t dare make a generalization about age groups, because in my experience, immaturity, like stupidity, is not limited to specific age groups. You can be 14, 25, 50, 80 and still be immature.

Also, there’s a mighty element of respect that is lacking in certain members. And those who don’t respect others’ opinions are those who are most quick to make personal attacks instead of just respecting the opposite opinion and agree to disagree.

to be honest

I think the term was used by Wolverine to show his “age” as in that he was older than anyone else in the comics. So, the term “bub” might be from a certain time and place as a reference for his character.

Thus, the gentleman you played poker with might be in the same generation or have geographic roots in the place where the creators of Wolverine meant him to be from.

Yeah.

I probably should have mentioned age, but I’d like to imagine for the most part that people on here know I’m not very old. So when you make a “joke” that I’m used to hearing from 13 year olds just to try to get to me, you’ve lost your credibility in whatever discussion were having.

It's about how old you act, not how old you are.

Most of us are “pretty young” and there are guys here even younger than me who act plenty mature.

i've seen one effective sarcasm signal

people putting /sarcasm at the end of their post, followed by any serious thoughts they have.

I’ve seen it used effectively on other message boards, but maybe it’s too blunt?

by phonty on Jun 3, 2010 1:35 AM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah, I do that sometimes if it's something really hard to pick up on.

But if it’s just blatant sarcasm, people should get it.

Now, a few of us are sensitive about it right now because we’ve been called a few names tonight, so I’ve been clarifying everything I say.

they rarely teach anything of real value. Euphemisms usually are heard amongst friends or people who don’t like to call it what it is.

I take the Yankees pretty seriously.

If an umpire stood between one of our guys and something like that, when I already want instant replay, things wouldn’t be pretty in the WWJD household.

A little bit of all of them.

Some want to kill Joyce, some want to kill Selig, some want the call overturned, some want replay. I think the general attitude is just BUMMED.

Yeah in about June he started hitting homers after a pretty dismal

April and May, if I remember correctly. Gotta hope he gets it all out of his system now and reverts back to his April form, because they’re a totally different team when he hits.

Not for nothing

but here’s another guy that the media was actually saying was done and should be benched, DFA’d, or released. And once again, he’s coming around like last year.

One more reason that I put no stock in any baseball writer’s columns about anything.

Depends on who's writing it

if they’re writing for ESPN, you can probably line your garbage with it though.

by Lord Duggan on Jun 3, 2010 3:34 AM EDT up reply actions  

well, one of my favorite radio shows on ESPN

is Mike and Mike (but I’ll only listen to Mike and Mike, or when at least one of them is there). I like them because Golic keeps Greeny in check with the reality of what sports are like for athletes, balancing the sports journalist Greeny who has never played a sport in his life (except golf recently). All these other guys need a former athlete standing behind them to balance their arguments.

It’s one reason I like MLB Radio, they balance those who report on the game with those who play the game. The biggest sin of broadcasting, for me, is ESPN and even MLB network radio hiring failed GMs to be co-hosts or consultants. JP Ricciardi gets his own segment? A guy who was FIRED for basically being incompetent and he’s an "expert’ for ESPN? I’ll take Schilling and his inane opinions (but real sports experience) as a commentator before I listen to any GM that’s ever been fired.

again, true

but it’s a lot like the tabloids, just because it sells doesn’t make it good, just means it’s good for their business.

I know it’s their job to get as many hits as they can, and they can certainly do that by pissing off all the fans of the subject of the article, it just seems to ridiculous.
