Yardwork: A-Rod on Pace for 140ish Homers, 275 RBI
Uncategorized April 11th. 2007, 12:29pm
Twins 1, Yankees 10: Good thing we didn’t start Boof last night. Got roughed up in four innings. Anytime you say ‘Boof’ out loud, don’t you think of the scene early in Teen Wolf where they’re at some party playing some drinking game and Boof sets it up so that she has to go in the closet with Michael J Fox? Styles leads the crowd in chants of ‘Boof! ‘Boof!’ ‘Boof!’ Maybe it’s just us. A-Rod has a major-league leading six homers and 15 RBI. The Twins need to remove the stench that is Sidney Ponson and get Garza some action.
Dodgers 2, Rockies 1: Anyone else waiting for Saito to lose that closer’s job so Broxton can take over? We’ve got Brox in one fantasy league and receive at least one offer for him each day. But how can you deal a guy who could be closing in two months! And how about Wilson Betemit? Available at three positions so he’s coveted – but the guy is 1-for-16! Slump or just overrated? You make the call.
Cleveland 7, Anaheim 6: Wouldn’t you pay $10 to see this offense? Although they are just four games into the season, five of the first six hitters are batting over .300. And Josh Barfield and Andy Marte should be there sooner than later. Any pitching whatsoever (sorry, Joe Borowski doesn’t count) and these guys should reach the postseason.
Milwaukee 2, Florida 2: Know what this is like? If you’ve got plans on a Saturday night and your game of Monopoly isn’t finished, you effectively pause the game, cover the board, and go out. You pick up the game the following morning, and hope nobody cheated. Prince Fielder is 3-for-3 and up to bat in the 11th, which will be played today. So silly.
Atlanta 8, Washington 0: Tim Hudson channeled Cy Young for seven innings and the Braves stomped the Nationals. In fact, we’re willing to project that the best pitcher in Single-A right now could probably contain the terrible Nationals offense. Sixty wins for Washington would be an accomplishment.

Agreed. How long is it going to take for Garza to get into this rotation. Absolutely ridiculous.

After the injury to Liriano you have to expect the Twins to be cautious. Its still very early.

Indians still need a pen, gave up 3 runs after CC left, he gave up only one earned. Grady had 3 steals. Any offense from Shoppach is a gift, but his arm is infinitely better than Bictor’s

You know who else “channeled Cy Young” against the Nats so far this season? Some guys named Scott Olson, Edgar Gonzalez, and Micah Owings. Not to mention D-Train, Brandon Webb, and Livan Hernandez. So yeah, every starter pretty much looks like Walter Johnson on steriods to the Nationals line-up.

did you see the rain they were trying to play in last night? I was actually amazed they started again the third time. I thought they would call it with the Marlins up 2-1. So as a Brewers fan I can live with this result so far.

You know, having gone to college in Cleveland, I would’ve paid $10 for the game in Milwaukee. (Then again, I’m from Philly and live in the NYC area.)
But $10 for a game? Sure. They broke out the sausage race? They played “Wild Thing” for the Indians’ closer? The Indians’ mascot, Slider, slid down the Brewers’ slide for a home run? I would’ve gone. I honestly would’ve gone.

the key to tonights game at Miller Park will be the weather we are about to get hammered by a snow storm I will be surprised if they get 20K again but every one I have talked to had a great time last night
The Major League movies ties make it easy for Milwaukee to adopt the tribe for a weekend. there are rumbles that if the snow keeps up Milwaukee may get the Tribe vs. White Soxs series this weekend.
That will be interesting due to the Milwaukee predisposition to hate all things Chicago and our lingering dislike of the White Soxs from our AL days
Hurray Extra baseball

Saito will not lose the closer job. I had both and just dropped Brox for that guy off the wire closing in KC. Brox will get you some nice ERA and WHIP, but I wouldn’t count on him closing this year.
