As long as the media is overdoing the whole Joba/Pedro Thing tonight, let's make it into a poll/game.

I'm giving Petey a win and Joba a ND, even though I think the Yanks will win.

Joba has quickly become almost as annoying as Jeter. I hate rooting for a young kid's career to flame out, but I think I'm rooting for this young kid's career to flame out.

I was thinking it would be cool if Jeter and Joba collided while chasing an infield fly, saving all of us from the endless hype. Then I realized that in order for this to happen, Joba would have to rush off the mound and into the middle of the infield dirt because Jeter has the range of a bolder. Joe Morgan: "Jeter shows his greatness by leaving the other fielders plenty of room to make plays, too!"

38 pitches, three walks, a balk, a passed ball, one run... all in the 1st inning. /giggle

first inning was funny, lets just hope they can't score damon from a lead off triple to cement futility.

bleh, Holliday hits A-Rod and then gives up back to back singles to Matsui and Giambi - 2 - 1 yankees.

Predictions, shmedictions. Pedro's gonna have a no-hitter. Joba's gonna have a no-outer.
|
| seawolf17 Jun 03 2008 05:48 PM |
|
Okay, make it 5-3 Mets.

Great showing by Joba. He really gutted this one out. What heart. What pride. Yankees win. Thuuuuuuuuuuu....

That's pretty much what I predicted.

The combination of Jose Veras, Edwar Ramirez, and LaTroy Hawkins has given up five runs in the seventh.
|
| seawolf17 Jun 03 2008 07:52 PM |
|
Wait, scratch that. Six runs.

From Newsday.
I watched his outing but I must be seeing something different.

He was referring to the heat coming from Hank's thighs. Didn't Hank just buy Newsday?

Good. Stupid Yankees.

I forgot. I predict two hits and an RBI for Pedro.

It's Pedro Martinez's world. We merely live in it.

Cablevision did. So it shouldn't affect Yanqui coverage, but it'll be interesting to see if pressure comes from the top to lay off if/when the Rangers and/or Knicks deserve an ink-stained beatdown. Jimmy Dolan hasn't exactly shown himself to be welcome to criticism.

Sometimes I mix up legacy kids. They all seem the same to me.

Ex-Jaspers remember facing, defeating Joba
Cody remembers the crowd of 8,063 fans at Hawks Field in Lincoln, Neb., rooting madly for Chamberlain's sixth-seeded Nebraska Cornhuskers against his Manhattan College Jaspers in that June 2, 2006 NCAA Tournament regional game. Cody remembers the nerves, the adrenaline and the camaraderie he shared with his teammates as they defeated Chamberlain, 4-1, in his final collegiate start before the Yankees drafted him. Cody, 24, now pitches for the West Virginia Power, a Single-A affiliate of the Brewers. He is on his own road to the bigs. But he thinks of that day often. It's the highlight of his baseball career. "I would definitely have to rank it number one," said Cody, a native of Brewster, NY. "Taking everything into account - the weight of the game, what was on the line - and couple that with the actual statistics." Cody was brilliant. The left-hander threw 142 pitches en route to the complete-game victory. He allowed one run on eight hits and struck out seven. He outpitched Chamberlain, who left with one out and two runners on base in the eighth inning with Manhattan already leading, 2-1. Both runners scored to give Cody insurance runs that he didn't need. Matt Rizzotti and John Fitzpatrick supplied all the offense necessary when they connected for back-to-back home runs off Chamberlain to begin the second inning. They jumped on hittable pitches early in the count, something Manhattan coach Kevin Leighton instructed them to do. "We wanted to be aggressive and swing early in the count before [Chamberlain] got two strikes on [us]," Leighton said. "We wanted to avoid that slider in the dirt. The first inning, I thought we were in for a long day. He struck out two guys and did that fist pump that he does and the crowd went nuts. "Next inning, we got two runs. Don't get me wrong, he pitched great against us, but it is exciting to watch him striking out major league all-stars and think back to the back-to-back home runs we hit off him." Rizzotti, a Floral Park native now in the Phillies organization, hit an 0-1 pitch. Fitzpatrick, from Yonkers, ripped the first pitch he saw over the left-center field fence. "He threw me a first-pitch breaking ball," recalled Fitzpatrick, 23. "Kind of on the outside corner. It hung a little bit. It certainly wasn't one of the better sliders he threw." Perhaps that's something the Blue Jays will look for tonight in The Bronx, where Chamberlain will make his first major-league start. But to those upstart Jaspers - starting, relieving, home, road - it doesn't matter. They marvel at what Chamberlain has accomplished in such a short time. "You could tell he had ability," said Fitzpatrick, who played a season in the Pirates organization before he walked away this spring. He plans to attend law school. "Some guys just get it. They were born to do that. He's been as dominant a reliever as there's been in baseball, and I don't think you can expect that out of any 23-year-old kid." The Yankees now expect Chamberlain to be a dominant starter. Leighton likes the move, but not the timing of it. Cody grew up a Mets fan, but said he roots for Chamberlain. "The better he does, the better me and my teammates look," said Cody, who has a tape of the game. "When I feel nostalgic, I'll watch a couple innings of it. I'll call up a few of my teammates and ask how they're doing. We'll say, 'Did you see Joba pitch the other day? Can you believe that?' "
