Got some pitching tonight but no hitting. Making the Stros look like a playoff team.

Man, I wish Brett Lawrie had been with the Jays for a larger chunk of the season.  Technically he would have if he hadn't been injured.

Someone here has to know this:  How many games does a player have to play before they are out of the running for Rookie Of The Year for the next season?

No idea off the top of my head.

So the Sahx series is currently split, would love the Yanks to just win a series against Boston but AJ is pitching soooooo yeah


Also looks like tonight is the MLB debut for Jesus Montero, the proposed next great catcher and player for the Yanks

From what I understand Montero won't be sticking behind the plate.

Yeah he's purely offense right now, supposedly going to be eased into catching. Well I don't know, maybe he'll be started right out next year, but currently he's just a bat.

Did go up to the plate 4 times with a total of 7 people on base. Can't have a much more pressured start then that.

AJ actually did pretty good. Didn't dominate, but didn't suck and kept the game very tight into the 6th, and now the Yanks have taken the lead. Also first time in a very long time he rebounded after a hit instead of collapsing horribly.

Maybe 2012 is when the streak will be broken.

a rookie formally defined as a player with less than 130 at-bats, a pitcher with less than 50 innings pitched, or anyone with less than 45 days on any Major League roster.

I figured you'd have the answer. Smile

The local media is taking their hype to an all new high,  projecting Lawrie's production over a full season.  I just hope he doesn't go all Eric Hinske on us in a few seasons.  I doubt that would be the case though.

I was in Toronto last weekend and went to the game on Friday between the Rays and the Jays.  I could tell that the crowd had a bit more energy when Lawrie stepped to the plate.  I could definitely tell that the fans were excited about him.  I am pretty certain that he hit a home run during that game.  It was pretty much the only highlight for the Jays.

The Tigers spanked the other Chicago team 8 to 1.  Clap
 
I saw a guy in the crowd (sitting behind home plate) wearing a Marillion Weekend 2011 t-shirt.  Does anybody want to fess up to being this person?

The Miguel Cabrera walk-off homer was epic! What a comeback! Of course, a comeback wouldn't be necessary in this instance if they had immediately placed Brad Penny for assignment. "Bad Penny" is a guaranteed 5+ run pitching effort.

What an epic game!!!  When the score was 8-1 I said that I was going to leave if the game went into rain delay since it wouldn't be worth sticking it out for.  Good thing that it was 8-5 when the rains moved in.  Stuck it out with about 10,000 other folks and saw an epic ending.  Radio-Raburn actually came through with a clutch 2-run home run (this is why we stuck with him all year even though he sucked so bad in the 1st half, yet again) and then Cabrera finally came through in a clutch late inning situation.  He is such an awesome player, but in my opinion he is hardly ever comes through in key situations at the end of the game.  At least not as frequently as certain Yankees or guys named Pujols or Ortiz who always seem to be on the highlight reels for late inning game winning home runs.  Anyhow GREAT game.  One thing going for the Tigers come playoff time is that teams usually switch to 3 or 4 man rosters, so no more Bad Penny to have to endure.

The Tigers hammered the Sox 18-2. By the 7th inning, it looked like an exhibition football game, with most of the Tigers' starters relaxing on the bench.

From wikipedia:

Before the players take the field before the start of every Kansas City Royals home game in 2011, the song Metropolis, Pt. 1: The Miracle and the Sleeper is played.

I had no idea, I obviously haven't been to a game this year. Disapprove
