~Extrapolate Arod's 3s for an entire season:675 ABs, 270 Hits, 234 Runs, 63 Doubles, 126 Homers, 306 RBIs, 9 SBs -- WOW
~At the opposite end of the spectrum extrapolate David Wrights #s:
621 ABs, 162 Hits, 99 Runs, 27 Doubles, 0 Homers, 36 RBIs, 27 SBs -- OUCH
~Mets Record = 12-6, Yankees Record = 8-10, Go Figure.
~Jason Giambi might be the slowest baseball player of this generation. Last night in the 8th inning down 4, Giambi standing on second base Cano hits a line drive up the middle. Giambi rounds third but doesn't score in spite of the fact that Elijah Dukes kicked the ball no lie 30 feet in front of him. Posada proceeded to foul out, and Cabrera struck out to strand the bases loaded. So Giambi's fatness cost me both an RBI from Cano and a save from Reyes, as he came in up 4 instead of 3.
~This also got me annoyed heavily because Joe Girardi said something completely retarded. When Giambi didn't score on the boot, Girardi said it wasn't that big of a deal and they didn't want to push it because Giambi's run didn't mean anything. That was completely stupid. It was the 8th inning, the only time that forcing a run is meaningless is in the 9th inning when the run comes prior to the tieing run. At any other point in the game it decreses the deficit. Thus in the next inning when Arod blasted another homerun, Giambi would have come up as the tieing run instead of being up down 2. How could a manager of the year say something that stupid?
~I can't stand Michael Kay, I just can't. I really wish the Yankees had a different announcer. He tries to analyze stuff too much when that's not his job. And how long are you going to chime in on the fact that Key Igawa needs to get used to American food. It's America, there are Japanese restaurants all over the place, he can afford to order a meal from any restaraunt in the Tampa St. Pete area, I'm pretty sure he can find atleast one decent place to get a meal. Does American food make you forget how to throw a strike?
~Basically the overall broadcasting of the Yankees last night was piss poor. Where oh where have you gone Bobby Murcer and Jim Kaat.
~Something I absolutely don't get about the draft. Leon Hall is getting hyped as the #1 cornerback in the draft and solidified his status as so after a solid 40 time, as a diehard Michigan fan that's cool you have the #1 player at a given position. But here's what I don't understand Dwayne Jarrett's stock is on the decline after a poor 40 time and is garnering some unfavorable comparisons to Mike Williams. Anybody watch the Rose Bowl? Anybody? Did that slip past the scouting calendar? Maybe 205 yards and 2 TDs in a game where on occasion he was matched up with the #1 cornerback in the draft is bad. I've got to be missing something.~Hooray the Celtics are going to attempt to cut complete ties with Telfair.
~Jimmy Rollins just needed a double to get a cycle and get me some cash.
~Just went to the pisser and was directly behind a guy walking into the door and in a 3 urinal bathroom he took the middle one. I'm pretty sure there's nothing in life simpler than this that annoys the hell out of me.
