Walking Wounded

And so ends the Yankees’ exclusive rights to complaining about injuries.

Varitek: out 4-6 weeks
Trot: out 3 weeks
Lowell: left game after fouling ball off his leg
Foulke: Foulked.
Wells: ?
Wake: ?
Clement: ?

These are trying times, I’ll say that. Too bad Tek’s injury didn’t come a day earlier, they probably could/would have found a replacement. Luckily, Mirabelli is pretty good.

Wait, that didn't say what I meant to say. I mean, if they lose, I hope I don't have to see it.

Lar,

How'd the interview go?
   203. Weekly Journalist_ Posted: August 02, 2006 at 06:55 PM (#2123796)
I can't believe we've gotten this far into this juvenile debate and no Sox fan has brought up the "biggest choke of all time" line. Props for that.
   204. Darren Posted: August 02, 2006 at 06:57 PM (#2123798)
Darren, we can have that beer anytime. Should you be retired soon? Are you going to get a house in Florida? Because I have a couple weeks down there next spring.

No way I'm retiring yet. I just got a great gig as a model. You can see my picture in the 'Join My Class Action Lawsuit' ad.
   205. Darren Posted: August 02, 2006 at 06:58 PM (#2123799)
Plus, don't forget the Yankees pulled off the biggest choke of all time. A total gaspipe job.
   206. Weekly Journalist_ Posted: August 02, 2006 at 06:59 PM (#2123800)
Well, I'm off to my championship softball game. Can't wait for that five game series.

Lar,

How'd the interview go?


I dunno. I'm not good at interviews, and I guess this didn't go horribly, but I don't think I'm very good at selling myself.

Statistically speaking, that would be the 2003 NLCS.

So what's the best regular season Yankees/Red Sox game ever? The Jeter dive into the stands/Curt Leskanic meltdown game, or the Bill Mueller walkoff brawl game?

"And in this ever-changing world, in which we live in..."

FWIW, it's "in which we're livin," which is still bad lyrics but neverthless gramatically OK.

Don't sell yourself short. You're an incredible whore! :)

you guys want to carry this over into the lounge?
   212. Sometimes it Rains (sj) Posted: August 02, 2006 at 07:07 PM (#2123810)
uh, i meant the chatter?
   213. kevin Posted: August 02, 2006 at 07:40 PM (#2123888)
What about throwing out baserunners? That's a wash at best, and this year Posada has been way better, something I really think he has improved.


Well, the pitchers are a big part of the equation so I don't really know how to interpret such a small difference between Posada and Varitek.

That is an obvious lie, Darren, because that guy has "I'm a Yankee fan, dammit!" written ALL over him.

I'd throw this game into the mix as well. Probably falls behind the two you mentioned, but it deserves a place in the argument.
   216. Wally Posted: August 03, 2006 at 10:15 AM (#2124846)
What about this game?
   217. chris p Posted: August 03, 2006 at 10:45 AM (#2124890)
wally wins. that game was awesome.
   218. Sometimes it Rains (sj) Posted: August 03, 2006 at 10:53 AM (#2124902)
Yeah, Wally was close, but I think there were more players doing some incredible things in the Jeter faceplant game. Also, there were many more dramatic swing in that game
   219. Weekly Journalist_ Posted: August 03, 2006 at 11:17 AM (#2124937)
Oh man, that Clemens/Pedro game WAS amazing.
   220. Weekly Journalist_ Posted: August 03, 2006 at 11:19 AM (#2124941)
I remember that 12-11 game and it was a brutal and crappily played affair. It may have had entertainment value, but no way is it one of the best.
   221. Golfing Great Mitch Cumstein Posted: August 03, 2006 at 11:58 AM (#2124995)
Pedro's one hitter in Yankee Stadium in September, 99 is my favorite game.

Experts: 'Derek Jeter Probably Didn't Need To Jump To Throw That Guy Out'
August 3, 2006 | Onion Sports


BRISTOL, CT—Baseball experts agreed Sunday that Derek Jeter, who fielded a routine ground ball during a regular-season game in which the Yankees were leading by five runs and then threw it to first base using one of his signature leaps, did not have to do that to record the out. "If it had been a hard-hit grounder in the hole or even a slow dribbler he had to charge, that would've been one thing," analyst John Kruk said during a broadcast of Baseball Tonight. "But when it's hit right to him by [Devil Rays first-baseman] Greg Norton, a guy who has no stolen bases and is still suffering the effects of a hamstring injury sustained earlier this year… Well, that's a different story." Jeter threw out Norton by 15 feet and pumped his fist in celebration at the end of the play.

I kind of enjoy Moose's near perfecto in Fenway myself.
