Yanks lose, Mets win.

The Yanks got hammered again by the Orioles.  If it wasn’t for Brian Roberts politely getting thrown out on the basepaths, the damage would have been even worse.  That’s all I have to say about that.  The bats don’t look too bad, but the arms have to come around.  CM Wang joins CC Sabathia on the growing list of Yankee starters without a strikeout – that’s not good.  Wang was out over the plate the entire night, and the O’s simply teed off.  Derek Jeter put one out.  Today, it’s A.J. Burnett vs. Alfredo Simon.

Mike Pelfrey got the win versus the Reds, settling in for a 5-inning-outing after an awful four-run first.  Carlos Delgado keyed the Met victory at the plate, driving in four runs.  Everyone hit, except Luis Castillo, who also looked a little tight out in the field.  The bullpen gave up three runs but the Mets bats did the damage by the seventh and Francisco Rodriguez came in for the save.  Today it’s Ollie Perez vs. Bronson Arroyo.

Uncle Sal has the low-down on all the Boston nonsense, and some deep coverage of the games as well.

  1. Why not let Pena hit for Jeter there? Unless Pena is going into the 2 hole for Damon with Pena to short and Cabrera to left.

    Leviathan April 9, 2009 at 4:23 pm

  2. He has a hold on Wang.

    libertyboynyc April 9, 2009 at 4:23 pm

  3. Why is Mariano getting loose?

    libertyboynyc April 9, 2009 at 4:29 pm

  4. Because he hasn’t thrown since last week

    Leviathan April 9, 2009 at 4:30 pm

  5. ahhhh

    libertyboynyc April 9, 2009 at 4:31 pm

  6. Whats up LB? You aint got somebody at BD that can find out when Big Al will be working out?

    jrzinbatonrouge April 9, 2009 at 4:31 pm

  7. always nice to see first big league hit. congrats to young pena!

    kev86 April 9, 2009 at 4:34 pm

  8. I can’t even get a beer off those guys.

    libertyboynyc April 9, 2009 at 4:35 pm

  9. OK, I guess I put a rainbow shirt on and go stand with the rest of the sugar filled papparazzi.

    jrzinbatonrouge April 9, 2009 at 4:37 pm

  10. I cant picture it.

    kev86 April 9, 2009 at 4:38 pm

  11. I’m doing my own speculation as to when he may come up to Trenton or SWB for live at-bats.

    libertyboynyc April 9, 2009 at 4:39 pm

  12. Swish…

    jrzinbatonrouge April 9, 2009 at 4:40 pm

  13. Maybe I can borrow that shirt from Joba.

    jrzinbatonrouge April 9, 2009 at 4:41 pm

  14. I know it’s a day game after a night game but hat’s off to Girardi for going with Swisher today to try and spark something.

    Have a day Swish.

    Leviathan April 9, 2009 at 4:41 pm

  15. He has driven in 5 of the 11 runs.

    jrzinbatonrouge April 9, 2009 at 4:43 pm

  16. Cano 3-4 2RBI and 4R

    jrzinbatonrouge April 9, 2009 at 4:45 pm

    jrzinbatonrouge April 9, 2009 at 4:49 pm

  19. Big performance from AJ today. That Huff k was huge.

    Leviathan April 9, 2009 at 4:53 pm

  20. They could us an Alfredo Simon.

    kev86 April 9, 2009 at 4:53 pm

  21. use

    kev86 April 9, 2009 at 4:54 pm

  22. Those are the 4 guys I am watchin.I have been saying they are all done since the end of last year.Lotsa experts say this is the best team in baseball.I say those 4 guys, that makeup up half of the sox lineup, are through.

    jrzinbatonrouge April 9, 2009 at 5:00 pm

  23. yeah. little long in the tooth there. they might have to make a few more moves later in the year. variteks homer the other day was a cheapie.

    kev86 April 9, 2009 at 5:03 pm

  24. J- You have been saying it all spring. I definitely agree with you on Varitek and I don’t think Poopi hits for avg again. Never a big fan of Drew because he’s always hurt. I haven’t given up on Lowell but he is 35 with a laundry list of injuries as well. That offense may look very old in a hurry.

    BBT ahead of the curve.

    Leviathan April 9, 2009 at 5:04 pm

  25. Im pullen for Rays in this one. Percival needs three outs.

    kev86 April 9, 2009 at 5:05 pm

  26. as varitek goes deep.

    jrzinbatonrouge April 9, 2009 at 5:05 pm

  27. 4-3. Let me play the reverse..GO SOX! ( see if that works)

    kev86 April 9, 2009 at 5:06 pm

  28. The got the BBT on laptop in the dugout or what?

    kev86 April 9, 2009 at 5:06 pm

  29. Kay is talking about 8 no-hit innings in a row out of the bullpen and he says “They are 1 inning away from a no hitter”. Where does he come up with this stuff?

    Leviathan April 9, 2009 at 5:07 pm

  30. Papi ’09=Giambi ’08

    macphisto1 April 9, 2009 at 5:07 pm

  31. I like the comparison Mac

    Leviathan April 9, 2009 at 5:08 pm

  32. They never go against the shift and when their power dropped they became below average hitters.

    macphisto1 April 9, 2009 at 5:10 pm

  33. ortiz up bottom 9 2 out down 1…red white and blue bunting(sp) on the fenway facades…

    jrzinbatonrouge April 9, 2009 at 5:11 pm

  34. Bunting is what Ortiz should, right down the 3B line.

    macphisto1 April 9, 2009 at 5:13 pm

  35. and the walk brings up youkapiss as the winning run

    jrzinbatonrouge April 9, 2009 at 5:14 pm

  36. Percival wanted no part of Ortiz there. Everything away.

    Leviathan April 9, 2009 at 5:15 pm

  37. Yanks score 11 runs with a Ransom/Gardner/Molina as the bottom three. Baseball is a strange game.

    macphisto1 April 9, 2009 at 5:16 pm

  38. youkapiss flies to center.game

    jrzinbatonrouge April 9, 2009 at 5:16 pm

  39. They didnt go quietly. AL EAST is going to be an awesome race.

    Chad Campbell is -9 at Augusta. WOW.

    kev86 April 9, 2009 at 5:16 pm

  40. 1-2. I ain’t excited. Yabba dabba.

    libertyboynyc April 9, 2009 at 5:19 pm

  41. Levi, do you think percival goes more straight ahead at ortiz if Manny is on deck?

    jrzinbatonrouge April 9, 2009 at 5:20 pm

  42. You know Mac the bunting thing isn’t as bad an idea as it sounds. There were times last year where I found myself saying that about Delgado early when he was in a funk. I’m talking about down three runs, situations like that. When a team gives you a base take it when you aren’t going well. Mix things up. They all think they are Ted Williams hitting through the shift.

    Giambi used to drive the ball into the left center field gap consistently and was one of the best hitters in the game. When he started yanking every pitch his avg plummeted. Oh well, he got his big contract and did hit 211 HR with the Yanks.

    Leviathan April 9, 2009 at 5:22 pm

  43. Manny doesn’t come to the plate as the winning run. Not unless Ortiz hit one out to tie it.

    Leviathan April 9, 2009 at 5:23 pm

  44. Campbell -8 now. If i were Mickey Rivers, I would have gone broke today.

    kev86 April 9, 2009 at 5:26 pm

  45. On July 4, 2007 I was on the beach in Cape Cod and the Red Sox were up by 11 games on the Yanks give or take and all I heard was “What did the Yankees do today?”. Boston calls itself “The Hub” but all they are is a spoke. Remember that.

    Leviathan April 9, 2009 at 5:34 pm

  46. There are sox fans on TDN that say the Yankees arent rivals anymore and the rays are the #1 rivals…we will see.And I really like the spoke line, can I use it?

    jrzinbatonrouge April 9, 2009 at 5:38 pm

  47. Hub of what?

    kev86 April 9, 2009 at 5:43 pm

  48. Levi, I remember a couple of years ago Giambi finally laid down a bunt in a big spot and the runner on first made it all the way to third. If they would do it every so often then that shift would go away and their BA would go up. Makes no sense.

    macphisto1 April 9, 2009 at 5:48 pm

  49. What’s up, fellas. Just getting back from a motorcycle jaunt down to the Keys. The weather was VERY cooperative. Unfortunately, can’t say the same about CC and Wang. Oh, well, WTF. At least AJ got it done and the rest of the team seems to be clicking, no?

    nativenyer2009 April 9, 2009 at 6:34 pm

  50. Hope ya had a nice rip on the bike Native.Yep AJ looked very good today and the team seems to be hitting.I dont see many 3+ game losing streaks this year, got alot of guys that can step up and be stoppers.
