Tomorrow night, 2/3 el duque please!!

[skippy]

Let's hope El Duque's dance has enough magic tomorrow night to give us 2/3...


darn! it's on the YES network :(


predictions?

[milky_way]

I say the offense gets more than 1 hit :D

[skippy]

let's hope so ;)



"...reports have said the yankees have had 19 grand slam opportunities, but scored only 17..." <--- too bad :)

[milky_way]

Haha, Kenny matches yesterday's hit total with a double to lead off the game :evillol

He scores on a 2-out A-Rod single :smokin:

yes!! I'm so glad to see A-Rod do something with 2 outs and runners in scoring position, he sucked at that all year..

[skippy]

gaaah!!! a walk.... blah


that's ok, dimitri young is a dangerous hitter, duque always pitches around men like that, he just needs to get this dude out... :bonehead

[skippy]

yay!!


2 men on, 2 men left :)

[milky_way]

Duque gets out of a mini jam to work a scoreless first

1-0 Yanks through 1.0

[milky_way]

hey skippy! :wavey:

[skippy]

hey milky way :wave1:

[milky_way]

Duque walks Rondell White to leadoff the second :angry:

[skippy]

Duque walks Rondell White to leadoff the second :angry:

[skippy]

oh sh!t.... a 2 run homer.... dammit

[milky_way]

sh*t

2-1 Tigers :angry:

[milky_way]

Hahaha, I love Kenny Lofton :D

[skippy]

yeah, he's red hot, what a beautiful bunt

[skippy]

YES!!! error



the system is error free, is error free, is error free....

[milky_way]

first and third on a "single" by Sheff that Guillen bobbled, one out :banana:

[milky_way]

My bad, there were two outs :duh:

A-Rod grounds out and the runners are stranded :(

[skippy]

My bad, there were two outs :duh:

A-Rod grounds out and the runners are stranded :(



damn, looked just like the old .215 a-rod with runners in scoring position...

[skippy]

let's see another eephus pitch!! that was so fun in his last game

[Dark_Angel]

Hey guys! :wave1:

I tried to "watch" the game on Gameday, but when I go to check it out, it's still on Thursday's game. What's up with that? :confused:

[milky_way]

Are El Duque and Bubba the only Yanks that wear thier socks high? :confused: I like that, more of them should wear them high :D.

Booyah, Jorge throws out Pudge stealing to end the inning :smokin:

[milky_way]

Hey Deanna :wavey:

I opened Gameday in the pregame and they had Knotts on the mound :confused:. I've closed it though, so it might have gotten screwed up since then :notme:

Haha, the eephus is hilarious :evillol. Bring back the eephus! :clap:

[milky_way]

Haha, this announcer said that if Jason hits one in the gap he could stretch it into a triple.

Dude, the ball needs to get stuck in the outfielder's pants for Jason to get a triple :evillol

Bah, Jorge lines out :(

[skippy]

lol, they better, el duque would flash a little leg per kick.... :eek:

haha, I saw that sort of happen once, except he caught a line drive in his glove but BOOM the glove fell off and went to the wall.... I forget who though... :notme:

[milky_way]

El Duque's pitch count is up there... :(

[skippy]

yeah, 67 pitches.... he'll go past 5 though...

[skippy]

2-out walks suck.

[milky_way]

Crap, another walk :(

MUNSON again

[skippy]

he got out of it though, popup to second baseman enrique wilson

[milky_way]

El Duque gets out of it on a pop up to Enrique :thumbsup:


TIME TO SCORE YANKS! :angry: :banana:

[skippy]

ruben sierra hit a home run!!! who would have thought :)

[milky_way]

Sweet. Homer for Big Rube, tie game :banana:

I love Ruben's swing. Whenever he connects it's like he hits it so hard he loses his balance :evillol

Ruben's homer was 400something feet :thumbsup:

[skippy]

jeter beats the bad play!! yes... time to score another run

[milky_way]

Whoa, Knotts tried to knock the ball down by throwing his glove at it :evillol

Jete gets a basehit anyway

[skippy]

it is high!!! it is far!!!! IT'S GONE!! a sheffy homer!!! :banana: :banana: :banana:

[milky_way]

haha, Sheff KILLED that ball

[skippy]

haha, Sheff KILLED that ball


yep, 419 feet!! :thumbsup:


4-2 Yanks

[milky_way]

Dammit, my internet went screwy for a minute :angry:

How did A-Rod get on base?

[skippy]

base hit :)

[milky_way]

Jason lines out to Pena to end the inning :(

I don't want to see his batting average at this point. It'd be too depressing :(.

[milky_way]

base hit :)
Thanks :cool:

[skippy]

Thanks :cool:



looks like Kevin Brown threw a bullpen session, he said he felt "Ok"

Ok is no good!! :bonehead feel better brownie :wave1:

[skippy]

damn, 1st and 3rd 2 outs, with dimitri young coming to the plate :bonehead

[milky_way]

Yeah I think it was 60 pitches. Mel said some pitches were good, others were bad. I don't think Brownie liked any of them, lol.

No pain or discomfort is still a good sign though :thumbsup:.

Crap, back to back singles. Runners on the corners for the Tigers.

[skippy]

argh, right through the legs of A-rod..... 4-3 yanks :bonehead

[milky_way]

A-Rod NEEDS to get that :angry:

4-3 on a Young single

[milky_way]

Buckle down El Duque...just one more out...

[skippy]

yes, nice job duque. gets out of it by tapping first base on a slow dribbler.

[milky_way]

Oh jeez that was close :eek:. But Duque got him :smokin:

INSURANCE RUNS YANKS! :banana:

[milky_way]

Jorge finally got a hit! :clap:

[Dark_Angel]

I still can't get Gameday to work. :angry: I'm just using Yahoo's box score. It's a little slower than Gameday, but it'll have to do.

Sheff's so awesome. :cool:

We need to score some more runs! :cheer: :gt:

[milky_way]

This one works Deanna: http://cbs.sportsline.com/mlb/gamecenter/live/MLB_20040717_NYY@DET

[skippy]

[milky_way]

Enrique with a ground rule double, second and third 2 outs.

Knotts being pulled.

[Dark_Angel]

Thanks Mari! :)

[milky_way]

The third base ump called him out for not checking his swing. It was close, but YES doesn't have a birds-eye-view camera angle so I don't know if he went around :notme:

[milky_way]

Thanks Mari! :)
No problem :cool:

[skippy]

oh, from the sounds of the radio it sounded like he didn't even swing...

[skippy]

darn, lofton struck out swinging, yanks are left stranded at 2nd and 3rd. No insurance runs so far :bonehead


I wonder if duque is still pitching? why wont they put quantrill in? he can go 2 innings, he'd love to go 5 :evillol

[milky_way]

Kenny K's :(

El Duque again :eek:, or Quantrill?

[skippy]

Looks like quantrill, thank god :)

[milky_way]

I hope it's Quantrill.

[milky_way]

Crap, leadoff single :(

[skippy]

ARGH!! 2 on and no one out, A-Rod needs a better arm ;) (just kidding, that was a great bunt)

[milky_way]

Dammit, perfect bunt by Pena

C'mon Q...

[milky_way]

JASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY CRAP!!!!! WHAT A PLAY!!!!!!!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:

He saved TWO runs!! :luvkiss:

[skippy]

AROD saved another!!!

[milky_way]

And now a sweet play by A-Rod! :clap:

NIIICE defense that inning :smokin:. Q gets out of the jam despite two balls being smoked.

[skippy]

nice, jeter takes 2nd on a wild pitch, no one out and the RBI king sheff at the plate :thumbsup:

[milky_way]

Jeter on with a leadoff single, he moves to second on a wild pitch :thumbsup:

[skippy]

JETER SCORES!!!


damn, I was waiting for that insurance run :) I love sheffield!!!!

[milky_way]

Jeter scores on a bloop single into center :banana:

Sheff is my hero :D

[skippy]

[milky_way]

Pudge is hurt :( but he'll stay in the game.

[skippy]

[milky_way]

Jeez, Sheff nearly thrown out at second :eek:

[skippy]

posada pops it up, damn

[skippy]

matsui flies out, end of inning, got at least one run, meh

[milky_way]

:( Matsui gave it a ride, but no cake.

[skippy]

milky_way tried, but no cigar :evillol :clap: ;)

[milky_way]

HAHA, wtf? Is my MLB.tv delayed or something? I posted that like the second after Matsui flew out :evillol :D

Q going for two innings :cool:

[skippy]

probably, wouldn't surprise me if it's delayed, remember it has to broadcast that to who knows how many users :)


lol of course Q is pitching 2, you'd have to chop his head off to keep him off there :)

[skippy]

Q is down, let's go Gordon!

[milky_way]

Kenny misplayed that :angry:

[skippy]

Kenny misplayed that :angry:



yeah, I didn't like him going to CF ever, I mean he used to be supposedly the best CF in baseball, but not anymore, bernie could have made that play :bonehead

[milky_way]

I don't like Bernie in CF, but Lofton's made several errors recently too :(. Bernie's let several balls that should have been caught fall in for doubles too.

Lol, where's Bubba? :D :wink:

[skippy]

haha, adjusting his knee socks :evillol

[skippy]

flash comes in and is amazing as usual, strikes out both hitters he faces :)

[milky_way]

Gordon's NASTY :smokin:

[skippy]

Gordon's NASTY :smokin:


yeah, but I want to see his curve!! that pitch is amazing, he's just throwing fastballs all the time, I mean it gets the job done... but the curve is cooler :smokin: :fro:

[skippy]

darn, 3 up 3 down... oh well, think Gordon will pitch the 8th? he only pitched .2 innings and he can pitch 2... ;)

[milky_way]

Well that was a boring half inning.

[skippy]

Nice play by Jeter!! 1 out

[milky_way]

Wow, Jete's got a 27-game errorless streak. His defense has really improved this year :thumbsup:

[skippy]

ahh!!!

wasn't my post count 50 or something at the beginning of this thread? I never look at it but I just glanced.... :smokin:

[milky_way]

Flash is the MAN :smokin:

How did we get by last year with the Osuna, Acevedo, Hammond, et al? :evillol :confused:

[milky_way]

ahh!!!

Eric Munson, who had homered in the second inning, scorched a ball down the first-base line. Did Quantrill think the score would be tied?

"Yeah, or else Giambi was dead," he said. "One of the two, or both."
:clap: :clap:
