MLB 2011 season

11 innings and a 45 minute rain delay is all it took. Yanks went on a tear when the game restarted, win 6-3.

Jeter had 4 hits, hopefully he's finally gotten jump started.

I'm going to guess that's why?

Edit: Well Yanks up 3-0 and a great pitching game...allow the O's to tie it up and then rain hits.
That quickly went from coasting game to OT and now in rain delay. Oi...

Jeter hit #2,944 moving him to 30th all time

Yanks up 13-3 over the Orioles....
Not a huge surprise there, I guess maybe just how big the lead is

Hit like 4 or 5 home runs, and a Grand Slam from A-Rod.
It is a little unnerving, the Yanks have been piling up runs like a machine but almost all from the long ball.
Would like to see better overall hitting, and not be reliant on the home run, but for right now can't complain...

They definitely need to play more dbl headers during the season to get the WS over by no later than the second weekend in Oct.  They really can't start any earlier than they do unless they schedule all the games in March in the warmer climate cities. Another thing to consider is that I don't want to see Baseball become something like Hockey or Basketball where half of the teams make the playoffs. It is nice to see your team make it but some years there is a possibility of a sub .500 team making them as it is.

Funny you say '"the good guys". Ken "The Hawk" Harrelson, announcer for the ChiSox always refers to the ChiSox as "The good guys" during the broadcasts.

YEEESSSS!!!!!!! MLB takes over the Dodgers!  Good by to the cheap New England parking lot attendant. 

It appears as though today is the Tigers day to walk all over the Mariners.  5 walks in 5 innings, and as of now, a 3 to 1 lead for the good guys.

Yesterday's performance from Coke was exactly what I was expecting from him when the Tigers announced he would be one of our starters.  I was pleasantly surprised with his first two starts.  Good thing about falling behind 4 - 0 in the first inning when the Tigers are playing on the West Coast is that I can just turn the game off and go to bed instead of staying up until 1:00 in the morning watching like I did on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Monday.

You might say that the Mariners walked all over the Tigers last night.
