Yup. That about sums it up. Considering I currently live in the Bronx and nearly everyone at my job is a Yankees fan & believes they are entitled to win the series every year (and still find things to complain about even if they do,) I would love to see the $1billion+ stadium quiet in a couple weeks.

A few years ago when the Yankmees collapsed against Boston I had fun acting like I didn't know the outcome & asking guys dressed from head to toe in NY "Hey, I had to leave work & didn't catch the end. What happened?"

What a game last night! Wow, see saw action and then finally in the bottom of the 12th, the home team wins. And I guess Miggy Cabrera made some of it up with his 2 run shot.

Alternately, if he had done ANYTHING during his drunken weekend perhaps that game never gets played.

On another note, I would LOVE to see Pavano have a chance to knock the Yanks out of the playoffs, not likely, but that would be epic.

Apparently I am the minority here as a Yankees fan, but if I only get to see one positive thing happen this year, it will be the complete and utter collapse of that piece of shit Pavano. I hope he gets lit up like a fucking Christmas tree. Stupid ass Cashman ever signing him was idiotic.

At least they won't go broke doing it (unless they order it at the Stadium)

I was at the game last night and boy was it amazing in person, just wish I had recorded it so I could watch it again from different angles. I do feel a little for the Tigers however because it looks like Keppel hit Inge (I think that is who it was) with the bases loaded. Now I will just have to hope the Yankees will find a way to lose against the Twins like they did the Redsox several years ago.

I believe they won the game the day after he was out until 5.

Actually, I think it was in the transition from Friday night-Saturday morning that that all happened, IIRC. Which means the Tigers lost Saturday, the actual game after the incident. They did win Sunday.

Ronnie Dobbs2 · 10-08-2009, 12:44 PM

It doesn't appear to me that he was particularly focused during his team's historic collapse, whether they happened to win one of the games to salvage a playoff or not.

JPhillips · 10-08-2009, 01:00 PM

Arod has no clutch. Sure he got two RBIs, but only after the game was already in hand.

lol...he can't win for trying.

Meanwhile, I swear to God, I have heard the replay of Jeter's "amazing" two run shot more times than any two run homerun in history...

DeToxRox · 10-08-2009, 01:16 PM

The more I think about it, the more I can see one scenario in which Cabrera get's traded and that is to the Orioles who need a big right handed bat at 1B. Plus they have enough young talent to make a deal.

That said I am pretty sure it never happens, but I could see that scenario.

stevew · 10-08-2009, 03:29 PM

The Nationals probably have enough cash flow to take him as well.

An infield of Zimmerman/Guzman/2b(sign Hudson?)/Cabrera
Outfield of Willingham/Morgan/Dunn

Then again, Dunn in RF would cost a bunch of runs again probably.

I don't see how Cabrera gets dealt with his baggage and that contract for any kind of young talent whatsoever except for okay prospects at best, and not many of them either.

I agree there. I still don't want to see him traded as he is one of the best hitters in baseball and it'd be a shame to think of dealing him now. We'll see though.

That Matt Holliday pickup sure looks good now... OUCH.

I really don't understand how CB Buckner can possibly be a playoff umpire. The guy is a joke.

mauchow · 10-09-2009, 08:02 PM

Minnesota up 3-1 now. Thank you very much!

Chip Caray needs to stop calling soft liners fly balls. Fly balls go higher than 10-15 ft off the ground. Chip called the Twins first go ahead single a flyball and also the second go ahead single a flyball. Both of which were soft liners at worst.
