Why does Tampa have the Yanks Number?

[CD56]

Is there a reasonable explanation or is it just an aberration?

They're about to be 6-2 on the year and they chased RJ after 3IP and 7ER.

[sublime]

Is there a reasonable explanation

the fact that NY is not that good?

[Voltron87]

to being 2-5 (2-6?) against the drays. i think you might be overstating your case a bit if you think were not as good as the drays.

[sublime]

i think you might be overstating your case a bit if you think were not as good as the drays.

no, i didnt mean that. just that if NY wasnt viewed as a great team then it wouldn be a surprise that TB had a good record against them.

[Voltron87]

yeah my post was kind of stupid.

but seriously i have no idea whats going on.

bernie just doubled, 10-6, GAME ON

[sublime]

yeah my post was kind of stupid.

speaking of, is dead dead?

I am not a Yankee fan by any stretch of the imagination. But this is one of the best comebacks I've ever seen. It looked like Tampa had quelled the rally and regained control.

[Dead]

Why is CD56 an idiot?

OHHH YEAHH!!!

YANKEEEES COMEBACK!!

DOWN by 8 runs at one point! NOW THEYRE OWNING!!!!

[Voltron87]

sublime, come post and show your face. the yankees are the pwn right now.

what a game, i never gave up and watched it all, remember when i said game on back in the 5th? i know what im talking about. the yankees are so good.


BWHAHAAHAHAHAHA

[Voltron87]

PAHK THE CAH AT THE HABAH



this is so amazing, high five


how awesome is this dead?

[Dead]

This is pretty [censored] awesome.

I thought they had a good chance when they cut the lead to 10-5 earlier.

[Aytumious]

Good win, but it's still only one game.

[Dead]

SHEFF SERVING UP SOME HOME COOKING!

[Voltron87]

what a hater




18-11


WHAT

GSHEFF< GONE< WHAT?!?!?!?! 18-11

AWWWWWHHHHYEEEEAAAAHAHHH

[Dead]

ANOTHER ONE

[Voltron87]

AROD GOES DEEP

I DONT BELIEVE IT

[Voltron87]

[Voltron87]

i dont even know how many weve put up this inning



I DONT BELIEVE IT

MATSUI INTO THE BLACK


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHH

WHAT LOU PINELLA, WHAT? HOWS IT? TASTE MOTHERFUCKER?

[Dead]

Don't rip Piniella.

He's a former Yankee and adored by most Yanks fans.
It's not his fault his team sucks.

[Voltron87]

everytime i post someone goes deep, they cant even add them all up. jim kaat cant do math that high.

how many is that this inning?

in the game

player #- HR
2- 1
20- 1
11- 2
13- 1
55- 1

this is so awesome, come on haters, talk about how its one game, i want to laugh at you. if you actually believe that, do you think people just watch baseball to see your team win? is a perfect game just another win? i dont watch to see a win, i watch for something special like this. amazaing

theyre putting the numbers up

35 minute inning

12 hits
13 runs
4 HR

[Dead]

Correction, Voltron:

35 minute inning, not 25. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

[Voltron87]

i see him smiling smugly when theyre up.

obviously i have respect for him as a yankee, but i know he loves to come in to YS and win, so alls fair in love and war.

[Dead]

That's true that he does. Because it's impressive to beta a tam like the Yanks when u are teh Drays. But he is a former Yanks manager you know.

[Voltron87]

oops, thats i typo, i knew it was 35.


can you believe all these people coming in and talking about how its only one game? hysterical

[Dead]

Those idiots are just jealous Yankee haters. [censored] them.

F fat Bostonians like Aytuminous and sublime.

[Voltron87]

yeah im aware of that. i dont want to spite him, it just annoys me when i see him laughing when hes up since he is treasuring it. as well he should, managers should be happy when they win, its just me being pissed were losing to the drays. not tonight though.

[Voltron87]

you know this thread is called "why do the drays pwn the yankees" or something like that

[Dead]

Hey Voltron

Check out the ERA of the DRays setup men now. /images/graemlins/laugh.gif . They like tripled.

[Voltron87]

honestly, this is why i love baseball. what a great moment.

its not about winning one game

[Dead]

This is why I love it too.

And all the [censored] haters and stats nerds can kiss my ass.

what i don't understand (btw i dislike the yankees) is how anyone can bet against them - or count them out of a game?!?!? seriously, it's like betting against the bulls with jordan, pippen and co. the yankees are that good - they WILL win the east

i never count out the yanks - even though i'm a jays fan

[Voltron87]

what a hater, if you dont like two fans high fiving each other after an unreal comeback, just dont read it. stay away, you know what the thread is going to be, just stay away.

but yeah, its just one game. sure. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

How is it not one game? It's always nice when the 8th place team in the AL makes a fantastic comeback versus the last place team in the AL, but it's still just one game in the standings.

[/ QUOTE ]

b/c they have to play something like .700 ball the rest of the way to have a chance to win the division and they don't have the pitching to do it.

a comeback is nice and all, but the key is they had to come back down a bunch in a game where they had Randy Johnson vs. Hideo Nomo. you shouldn't trail more than a run or 2 ever w/ that matchup.

[Voltron87]

wait, 8 run comebacks count as two games right?


all that aside, trying to belittle it and act like its not that big a deal by saying its one game is just stupid. there are things called momentum and enjoying watching the game. sure, this and some game we beat chigaco in 6-2 after being up early and dominating both count the same, but which one was more fun?

[sublime]

sublime, come post and show your face. the yankees are the pwn right now.

nice comeback. im sure it will propel the yanks to great things.

whenever the NYY do somethign it has bigger meaning than any other team in baseball. this win cures the fact that they have two rookies in the starting rotation, the woest defense in the AL and glaring holes in LF/1B. really it does.

[Voltron87]

i agree, we'll be amped from this point on as opposed to deflated and pissed off.


ohhhhhh, he was being sarcastic. gotcha. /images/graemlins/grin.gif


i give you props for not coming in and hating, though.

Yankee fans are priceless.

So they put up a bunch of runs against two crappy D-Rays relievers, one of which was just completely hung out to dry by his @$$hole manager, who's clearly trying to get fired.

But yeah...that makes up for the fact that your "ace" pitcher got shelled. Again.

BTW... Clement > Mussina, Pavano, and the Big Eunuch.

I just got back from this game. If this doesn't turn them around, nothing will.

[/ QUOTE ]

a little. to be sure you'll win the east, i'd say you gotta win 100, give or take. they have to play .685 to win 100 and .652 to win 97. is that doable? yes, but i still don't think they have the pitching, and that assumes both Bal and Bos fall off the pace. Bal's at a 97-98 win pace right now and Boston gets Schilling back and 24 out of their last 35ish games at home, so they may need to play .700 ball to win that division. and that 2nd half schedule isn't as kind as the first (at least, not at a glance) 6 series vs. teams below .500 (3 v. TB, Sea, Oak, and KC) and a bunch vs. Ana, Min, Bos, and Bal

high estimates are a by-product of posting during a spurs/pistons commercial.

meanwhile the two teams in front of them won handily on the ROAD against much better teams.

persoannly, i am a sox fan. year in and year out i worry about having to go thru NY at some point during the year. i just done have that fear this year. they are not a good team. jesus, they arent even one of the top ten teams in baseball, why dont you people face reality.

i went on friday with a couple friends (the game where matsui parked a 2 run HR when we were down 6-5 in the 7th, right to us) and this is very true. tons of good looking girls.

The 17-run turnaround matched the largest victory after trailing by eight runs in major league history. The Devil Rays led the Cleveland Indians 10-2 before losing 20-11 on May 5, 1999.

Well, someone started a thread during the 20-11 game about how badly tampa was beating nyy. Sublime and others started assuming we'd lose that game when we were 8 runs down. Then, when our offense went to town, we were talking about it in a thread titled "why does tampa have the yanks number?"

I'll make it even simpler: someone started this thread to make fun of the yankees losing to the drays by 8, and then the yankees go ahead and we know how the game ended. Yankee fans laughed and enjoyed the victory in that thread. Ironic.

[sublime]
