Come on Bri, it's the Tiggers. Although no matter how much they bounce up and always down in the standings, there well still the Tigers. I'm happy to see them succeeding, although I have some doubts about a few of their players and if umm they were "helped" in anyway(IRod anyone?).

My fiance and I were down in Delaware for the long weekend and on our way home we stopped off for the night near New Brunswick. It was a great area, I believe the name of the town was Colts Neck.
Im planning on getting down to Camden yards sometime soon for a game. How is the availability of good seats ? Should I buy in advance or just get them when I show up ?
Im trying to hit as many places for a game as I can this year, having already been to Yankee stadium, Shea, PNC park for a Pirates game, and the Great American ballpark in Cincy for a Reds game. Next stop is Philly in the next week or two then Camden yards.
"The other teams could make trouble for us if they win." -- Yogi Berra
I know I'm a whining here, but does anyone else think it's a little unfair that arguably three of the best five teams in the American League reside in the AL East? It seems a little unfair that Boston, New York and Toronto have to play against each other so many times. Sure, it's fun to watch, but it could kill these teams in the end. And, with the Tigers start, likely only one AL East club will make the playoffs. Maybe there should be two wild cards? What do you think?
I saw the game last night. Torre kept Rivera in for 3 innings because he actually had a low pitch count. He only threw 16 pitches in the second inning he was out. Plus I also think the fact that Farnsworth had thrown a lot the two days before and Mariano hasnt had all that much work of late. They have been fun games to watch.

Just to clarify, Rivera's pitch count was at 16 for the first two innings combined
Thanks for that clarification Dan...I thought they were just talking about the one inning...but I was busy on ebay at the same time
And how about that Melky Cabrera! He's still rough around the edges on defense but he is still very young. Imaine that! Another young one out of the Yankees farm system that is doing a very good job!
Whats up with Sheffield and his wrist? I noticed he was not in the starting lineup last night or today. Did he come back too quick from that stint on the DL, I remember reading he might be out a bit longer after coming off the DL but it seemed he was plugged right back in.
yep, Sheffield flew back to NY with his bumb wrist. Hopefully this is the beginning of the end of his stay as a Yankee. That would be one juicer down and one to go
Not to hijack this thread but did you guys notice the Mets win with yet another walk off? Sure it only took them 13 innings to score a run. I see the Yanks are beating up on Detroit again too. A great nite fir NY.
Anyone notice that FIVE of the Yankee starting 9 in the lineup tonight are home grown ? And Derek Jeter was NOT one of them as he sat out tonight with a sore hand.
Good point on the home grown players Dan. Im sure that we will not be hearing a word about that from all of the haters who claim they have no home grown talent. We also wont be hearing boo from a certain few who had already anointed the Tigers WS champs after the first 50 games. Toilet bowl man and his Tigers thread have been conspicuously absent and quiet the past 3 days.

Tonight was a glimpse of what life would be like without Mariano Rivera.
With a sweep of the Tigers at Farnsworth feet he $HITS THE BED. And the Tigers celebrate salvaging one game in this series like it was game 7 of the World Series.
Farnsworth is trouble - this is why the Braves didn't resign him, and why the Tigers let him go before that. He throws fast, but without a lot of movement, and therefore very hittable. He'll either strike you out, or serve up a fastball on a silver platter. Mostly the latter, it seems, when the game is on the line.
Thanks for the obvious scouting report on Farnsworth although his biggest downfall thus far is location and not the good straight fastball that every crack TV analyst turned big league scout pulls out of the hat which then leads to your comment. He has gotten burned on that slider ALOT more then that fastball. By the way, the Braves DID want to resign him as their closer. Do your homework on that one. I don't know why you said that.
Also, thanks for finally chiming in at the perfect opportunity for you
Farnsworth seems to love throwing that slider instead of the heat. The fastball is what made him what he is and he's being very skiddish of that. Only reason I can think of is that he didnt have his velocity earlier in the season..now that he has it, he needs to throw it and blow these guys away! And Dan is absolutely right...Braves were BEGGING Farnsworth to stay.
Actually, I recall Mike Francesa coming up with that analysis last fall, on the day the Yanks signed Farnsworth. He freaked out, and said he was very unhappy with the signing and didn't want him on the Yanks. I didn't realize that his flat fastball was a widely held contention, it just seemed obvious from watching him pitch a few times.
The Braves may have wanted him back, but they weren't going to compete with the Yanks salary-wise. Not sure what he ended up signing for in NY, but whatever it was, it was more than the Braves were willing to pay for a closer with a half-year experience.
And now, back to the official NY Yankees thread! Jeter rules!
A lot of people say that Farnsworth has amazing stuff, but he seems to blow it in clutch situations. I remember him blowing a crucial playoff game with the Cubs in '03 and then again last year with Atlanta against Houston. I was surprised he signed with New York. He just doesn't seem like a big game pitcher.

Farnsworth is a serviceable pitcher when used in 7th and 8th innings. I CRINGED at the sight of him jogging to the mound in the 9th inning last night. When he is a last resort ...... cover your eyes.

soft,
I can relate man. See almost anyone in the Blue Jays bullpen other than B.J. Ryan.
Well, Justin Speier is usually OK for a couple of batters in the 7th or 8th. Other than that, I kind of close my eyes under Ryan comes in.
I dunno about anyone else, but the last couple of weeks in Yankee land have been the most enjoyable for me in years. With the outbreak of injuries and the subsequent call ups of young talent it seems they are playing an almost underdog role. I love seeing the young guys trying to make a name for themselves in the big leagues. There is a feel of excitement when someone new steps up each night rather than watching 9 all stars with big bank accounts underachieve. Call me crazy, but I would rather see 5 rookies in the lineup for the rest of the year and have them miss the postseason than go through another boring, so what year and watch them lose in the ALCS again.
"The other teams could make trouble for us if they win." -- Yogi Berra
No kidding...can you believe Melky and Andy Phillips!? And Cano has been have an excellent sophmore season! Also with Melky, seems so he is becoming more relaxed and showing what he can do defensively. They had lots of good things to say about his defense in the minors...hasnt shown it until recently up in the bigs. You're right Bri, it has been fun watching them. And you even see the guys goofing around some and having a good time playing ball.

Funny how you think I was absent because of a few games this past week, I was out of town making money, perhaps you should make your own, instead of being envious of every pro athlete that made it. You will say, "I am not envious," but it seems that you worry about what athlete gives back, and who drives in a limo to their mansion, being jealous must suck! Next time I go away on business, I will be sure to inform the board of my time away, time I am to be back, and what I did while I was gone.
What is so great about the series of this past week, I notice the Yankees blew two large leads, to a "crappy" Tiger team. Randy Johnson finally pulled one game out of his bag, odds of that happening again this year are very slim. Go back and you find a posting I made, where I have sang the praises of Todd Jones, that puke is about as reliable as FEMA. Oh, by the way, he gave up a home run to Mr. Steroid, Jason Giambi, to start a rally. Tigers of old would have folded and lost that game badly, but they chipped away, and I think that is quite good, a ragtag team coming back against a team of all-stars. Also, that game was started by Ramon Colon, that "ass" is nothing more than a one inning relief pitcher at best, that is why he will not start again. I see the Tigers had a bottom of the 9th win, another game that they chipped away being down, a "great" team does not squander that kind of lead. Funny thing though, how can a "great" athlete, screw up a back muscle, putting on a pair of cleats? That is about as funny as Sosa straining his back from sneezing! Why is that, because he threw 3 innings, OMG, I have seen him throw more pitches in one inning, what makes 2 more innings any different.
Thing is, Tigers lost last night too (Todd Jones), and they still have the best record in baseball. That sounds great to me, since preseason predictions had the Tigers fighting with KC for last in the division, perhaps last in the American League. Also, the Pistons lost last night, go find a post where I cared what they do, but go ahead and remind me of their Knicky performance!
I also never claimed the Tigers were going to be WS champs, IF you look back, you will see I say IF they do this, IF they keep it up, IF there are no injuries. I am just happy there is a competitive product on the field, and as we saw twice against the Yankees, they can come back and make a game of it. 5 run leads usually lead to a win on most occasions!!!!!!!!

Too bad he performed well on a shltty Detroit team last year. Only reason he was traded, is because he was going to be a free agent, and there was almost no chance of resigning him!!!!
Not to stir the pot too much in here - but you guys do realize why the Yankees are playing a few homegrown "talents" all of a sudden, right? They have no choice! There aren't any big names available for them to trade for at this point in the season, so injuries have forced them to play such players as Melky Cabrera (does he fall down every time he makes a defensive play in the outfield?) and Andy Phillips. If it weren't for the injuries, the Yanks would never purposefully field a team with such players.
I mention this only because it seems like some of you guys think they are building a young team by design - but I agree, if I were a Yankee fan I would rather watch a team like this play than a team of overpayed, spoiled free agents.
With all due respect that is not the way I took it. The fact was made and is obvious as to the reason. Nobody mentioned that the Yanks were building a team with home grown guys. Melky has been hitting in the 300's and has made quite a few big catches without falling down too.
as for overpayed spoiled free agents I believe the Red Sox have as many if not more on the payroll as well.
the Yankees have been forced to go to the farm. THAT is correct. But guess what? It is more than obvious that your and some others "opinions" that the Yankee farm system was bare as a babies a$$ was completly wrong. For the second year in a row the Yankees have been largley helped by kids. Melky Cabrera, Andy Phillips, Bubba Crosby, Wang, Proctor, Cano, have all helped the Yankees in one way or another win games. That is SIX guys from the barron farm system.
Also, in typical ctsox fashion you are so quick to point out the few times he has looked bad in the outfield yet IGNORE the SIX assists he has out there with his very good arm.

brian,
you are absolutley right. Yankee fans (including me) have tipped their caps to the Tigers in that thread. Yet this CLOWN feels the need to come into our thread and talk trash about a team that just made the Tigers look silly.
My father is a life long Tiger fan. I wish them well ..... when they are NOT playing the Yankees
maybe we will have to begin a double secret probation Yankee thread, since it appears that all the same people who cry there is too much Yankee talk still cant help themselves from chiming in and taking their cracks here.
"The other teams could make trouble for us if they win." -- Yogi Berra
They obviously want it both ways.....b*tch and complain about the Yanks payroll and the All Star lineup and how there is no minor leaguers worth a grain of salt......AND they have to find ways to spin and crack on the Yankees when in fact the young guys HAVE come up and performed! Its all jealousy, envy, and a bunch of their whining. Now that I have said that, any more crap that gets spewed from them will be ignored by me.
Hang on, I wasn't trying to disrupt Yankee utopia in here - just wanted to make a quick point about the reason the Yanks are plugging the holes in their team with these young kids. You're all correct, everyone thinks the Yanks have no one in the minors worth calling up, but they have shown to be able to play well with these kids so far this season. I am not looking to argue that - in fact, if the Yanks can win all season with the team they currently have out there - it would be one of Torre's best managing jobs yet, and I'll be the first to tip my cap.
START A SOX THREAD where CT sox can find a home for his "utopia" filled Sox world and overwhelm everbody with articles about the Sox's farm system that is chock full of talent.
Andy Phillips with a big home run, Kevin Thompson with his first big league hit, and Chein Ming Wang as the closer. 5 and 1 on this road trip. Gotta love it
Its way too early to be scoreboard watching IMO. Just as long as the Jays are taking 2 out of 3 on somewhat of a consistent basis they will be there in the end.

I see the Tigers had a bottom of the 9th win, another game that they chipped away being down, a "great" team does not squander that kind of lead. Funny thing though, how can a "great" athlete, screw up a back muscle, putting on a pair of cleats? That is about as funny as Sosa straining his back from sneezing! Why is that, because he threw 3 innings, OMG, I have seen him throw more pitches in one inning, what makes 2 more innings any different.
Thing is, Tigers lost last night too (Todd Jones), and they still have the best record in baseball. That sounds great to me, since preseason predictions had the Tigers fighting with KC for last in the division, perhaps last in the American League. Also, the Pistons lost last night, go find a post where I cared what they do, but go ahead and remind me of their Knicky performance!
I also never claimed the Tigers were going to be WS champs, IF you look back, you will see I say IF they do this, IF they keep it up, IF there are no injuries. I am just happy there is a competitive product on the field, and as we saw twice against the Yankees, they can come back and make a game of it. 5 run leads usually lead to a win on most occasions!!!!!!!!

<< <i>Farnsworth is crap. End of story. >>
A lot of people say that Farnsworth has amazing stuff, but he seems to blow it in clutch situations. I remember him blowing a crucial playoff game with the Cubs in '03 and then again last year with Atlanta against Houston. I was surprised he signed with New York. He just doesn't seem like a big game pitcher. >>
lol did you mean to say he doesnt seem like a big game pitcher or big league pitcher ??
Too bad he performed well on a shltty Detroit team last year. Only reason he was traded, is because he was going to be a free agent, and there was almost no chance of resigning him!!!!
I mention this only because it seems like some of you guys think they are building a young team by design - but I agree, if I were a Yankee fan I would rather watch a team like this play than a team of overpayed, spoiled free agents.
as for overpayed spoiled free agents I believe the Red Sox have as many if not more on the payroll as well.
Steve
the Yankees have been forced to go to the farm. THAT is correct. But guess what? It is more than obvious that your and some others "opinions" that the Yankee farm system was bare as a babies a$$ was completly wrong. For the second year in a row the Yankees have been largley helped by kids. Melky Cabrera, Andy Phillips, Bubba Crosby, Wang, Proctor, Cano, have all helped the Yankees in one way or another win games. That is SIX guys from the barron farm system.
Also, in typical ctsox fashion you are so quick to point out the few times he has looked bad in the outfield yet IGNORE the SIX assists he has out there with his very good arm.

brian,
you are absolutley right. Yankee fans (including me) have tipped their caps to the Tigers in that thread. Yet this CLOWN feels the need to come into our thread and talk trash about a team that just made the Tigers look silly.
My father is a life long Tiger fan. I wish them well ..... when they are NOT playing the Yankees

The Yanks are making it awful tough for my Jays to gain ground.
Johnson looked good yesterday, only 3 hits in 7 innings - I think he is starting to pull things together.
Its way too early to be scoreboard watching IMO. Just as long as the Jays are taking 2 out of 3 on somewhat of a consistent basis they will be there in the end.

Soft,
You're right. It's just been so long that the Jays have been in a pennant race I think I like to pretend this is September
