Serious question, what does orneryness and acidty mean?

I'll have to remember that when Beckett gets a blister and misses a start.
And will someone tell me why a natural second baseman is playing first for his supposed "defense" when there is a perfectly fine MLB ready defensive 1st baseman in AAA?

We had to deal with so much BS from Yankee fans (not you) here when Nomar and Pedro were often injured, it was non stop.
Your second point is a good one. Torre really makes some interesting decisions during games. He managed that 6th inning like it was the end of the game, righty, lefty, righty, lefty he must have received some advanced weather report that rain was on the way. Is Andy Phillips still on the ML roster?

Yes Phillips is still on the team. Also a good defensive 1st baseman. And it's not like Cairo has made much contact, let alone hit the ball well to make up for it. Would it have been that much worse to put Phillips or even Giambi at first?BottleofRum wrote:jonesbeach10 wrote:Dude, the guy fractured his wrist.BottleofRum wrote:uh oh Matsui got a boo boo the streak is over..... pass me a tissue.

Yankees have now lost 2/3 of their starting OF. You have to think they will make a trade. Matsui will probably miss the season. Bet they are happy they resigned Bernie now.

Matsui's streak was the longest for the Yankees since Lou Gehrig played in 2,130 straight games from 1925-39, which was the big league record until Cal Ripken of the Baltimore Orioles broke it in 1995.BottleofRum wrote:uh oh Matsui got a boo boo the streak is over..... pass me a tissue.
Streaks are sort of cool, no matter who they are playing for....unless its Bonds.

One page earlier Standings in May didn't matter......Same holds true. Good win by the Sox. I'll tip my hat. Definitely wrong you're so happy about a guy fracturing his wrist but that's your call. Ornery and acidic is a sophisticated way of saying you're an A-hole. I mean that in the nicest possible way of course. i enjoy the sparring...

I had to listen to the first inning on the radio, the Yankees radio station. When Matsui got hurt they were talking about like it was american tragedy, if they had their way today would be a national day of mourning.
Standing don't matter in May, I was pointing out how foolish your "standing 'nuff said" post was yesterday.
So who do the Yankees go after now? Bobby Abrau, Jay Payton?? There is no way they keep Bernie in the OF full time.

a wins a win!!...but it was getting frustrating to watch!!!!....Loretta got robbed on the one up the middle off the pitcher......got a break on the one to Jeter........jeter should of ate that ball.......especially when you have a guy playing 1st who really isn't a 1st baseman!!...you only give up the tying run then!!RAGTOP wrote:Sox lucky to pull out a win last night. Somewhere along the line they forgot how to hit in the clutch (left bases loaded 3 times) otherwise known as Aroditus

Jeter has to make that throw or the game would have been tied. I lay the blame on Torre for having Cario playing first.tequilatom wrote:a wins a win!!...but it was getting frustrating to watch!!!!....Loretta got robbed on the one up the middle off the pitcher......got a break on the one to Jeter........jeter should of ate that ball.......especially when you have a guy playing 1st who really isn't a 1st baseman!!...you only give up the tying run then!!RAGTOP wrote:Sox lucky to pull out a win last night.

at least it would only be tied.....depending waht Ortiz does......and they probably don't see Papelbon with a tie!!BottleofRum wrote:Jeter has to make that throw or the game would have been tied.

.....If Cairo had held onto the ball the runner would have been out. If Jeter doesn’t get to the ball both runs would have scored. If the ball had been hit directly at Jeter it's an easy play. If Giambi was at first, Loretta is out. . (Giambi is 6’ 3”
)
Should Cairo been at first? He has decent numbers against Wakefield, and if he makes the play – you don’t question Joe. . shoulda, coulda, woulda . .
It was a tough "loss". . With Matsui out for at least 3 months. . well, we have Arod to carry the offense. .
