Doctor, Doctor, Give Me the News. Game Thread for Game 159, Yankees at Jays

New York Yankees at Toronto Blue Jays, Sep 25, 2008 7:07 PM EDT



Doc goes for his 20th win tonight, lets get him some runs guys. Carl friggin Pavano pitching for the Yankees, he beat us once this year. We can't have that again. I see Jeter is still out of the line up for the Hankees and they are sitting Damon, ARod and Matsui. They also have a rookie catching Francisco Cervelli making his first major league start.

Zaun is in again for us, not sure why we don't let Thigpen start a few games, but I don't make out the line up cards. And Moonraker has been moved up a spot in the order, hitting in front of Zaun. Other than that it is pretty much our normal line up. Vernon is DHing tonight putting Rios in CF.

In other Jay's news it is official Cito will be back next year, he is signed thru 2010. I hope he will learn to take it a little easier on his pitcher's arms, but I won't hold my breath. JP says the fates of the other coaches will be announced this weekend, it's likely they all will get two year contracts as well.

I'll be late to get to the game thread, my boy has hockey, but I should be in for most of the game, come join me. Come on guys, let's get Doc his 20th!! Yeah I know it's a lame song for the game thread....give me a break, I got a cold.

Rincewind, you the only one on here?

Feel free to come over to OTM. We need someone watching the MFY for us, and we can discuss the offseason and next year.

Remember when we were kids and we mixed sodas together and called them "suicides"? It was OK though, because Dr. Pepper was always there.

It's a bit more fun to talk to other people.

I learned that a while ago.

Always necessary.

Drop by if you get bored.

Lind hits one hard....single.

if he is becoming a singles hitter I won’t be happy

ya, got them back last week

I passed, which was the main goal; but I actually did somewhat better than I thought I would, so I’m pretty happy

I never am

especially against the Yankees

by SuckaMD on Sep 25, 2008 9:21 PM EDT up reply actions  

seems like one of those reach signings

where absolutely everything has to go right for it to work out

by SuckaMD on Sep 25, 2008 9:25 PM EDT up reply actions  

there looks to be a decent number of FA starters

maybe the market will dip a little and allow us to grab someone without overpaying ridiculously

by SuckaMD on Sep 25, 2008 9:32 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah I'm thinking we ought to be able to afford someone.

If AJ leaves we need to get someone….if he doesn’t, it would be nice still

by Tom Dakers on Sep 25, 2008 9:35 PM EDT up reply actions  

maybe

though I somehow doubt it. The Leafs sometimes try to play that card to try and lure free agents, and are always rebuffed.

by SuckaMD on Sep 25, 2008 9:38 PM EDT up reply actions  

I was thinking in the 8-9 range

how much are the Jays going to have to spend?

by SuckaMD on Sep 25, 2008 9:43 PM EDT up reply actions  

Well there's 12 off the books for AJ (probably)

10ish more if we deal BJ, and 8 from Frank.

Stairs was 2.5M this year and less next

I was thinking more in the drop from this year....

we were about 100 mill this year, I think we are around 70 mill next year with the contracts we have….I am taking it for granted that we’ll stay close to 100 mill

Dempster's FIP is 3.5

compared to Lowe’s 3.25, so Dempster should be less expensive than Lowe anyways. Have to love Lowe’s 60% grounder rate with our infield, right?

95 pitch complete game

ya

the ridiculous part is that Francisco Rodriguez is going to end up with 60+ saves and could very well beat out Doc in the Cy voting

by SuckaMD on Sep 25, 2008 9:44 PM EDT up reply actions  

alright

if only it wasn’t the season of Cliff Lee
