Tim McG Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Unfortunately, the demise of the Yankees has been overstated -- not the least of whom, by me.... Anyway, I think Hughes will have a great year, my prediction is he will win the Cy Young; CC will be CC; ARod, now that Jeter is in a steep decline, will probably have a great year, since he will be the focus of attention, the Drama Queen. Cano is looking good, Nick Johnson is off the team, to go back on the DL. wherever he may be. I would love to shovel dirt on the Yankee grave, but this looks like their last shot to me. The team that should be really worried is the Phillies, where's their offense? I keep hearing the they will trade Blanton, maybe that will bring them something, but missing Utley, that has to hurt. Concerned, not worried. I still think they are a lock for the playoffs w/out him, barring any further injuries. As long as the starting 4 stays intact they really don't need to worry about their offensive as last year's Giants proved. I think it's between the Braves, Phils, and Giants in the NL this season. Right now I'm picking the Braves. What about Cincy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quincy Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 (edited) So the Mariners likely won't win the West. But we do have the planet-destroying laser arm of Ichiro. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2grLJR7eaM&feature=player_embedded *Warning - Video may induce seizures, headaches and Max Headroom flashbacks.* Edited March 22, 2011 by Quincy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chalupa Posted March 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Well it looks like Bradley Thomas Lidge will be joining Utley on the DL for the foreseeable future. Of the two it sounds like Lidge's injury(shoulder pain) is the more serious. Dang, this is not good. Setting sights for the WC now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA Russell Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 There's a good article today at the LA Times website about a 600 foot homer that Mickey Mantle hit, whose landing was witnessed by Frank Gifford who was practicing football at the time. http://www.latimes.com/sports/ http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-0326-mickey-mantle-20110326,0,5398006.story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave James Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 When I was growing up, Mickey Mantle was like a deity. He was the reason I became a Yankee fan.

Quincy Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) Hair-itage shirts! Somehow it seems wrong beyond belief that there's no Oakland A's option. I mean at the very least there's Rollie*, right? I may just have to get me the mullet Mariner one, though many of these are pretty cool. It also has me leaning towards not shaving. *edit - Ah, I see Milwaukee gets him. I wonder if MLB t-shirts just sell better in Milwaukee than in Oakland?

Matthew Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) Very good article on Tony Gwynn, Mr. San Diego, and his recovery from cancer. SAN DIEGO -- The trophy case in his home is full of gold gloves, silver bats and taco-brown uniforms. But it's the white mask in the corner that keeps Tony Gwynn preoccupied. Sometimes he puts on the mask to remember his November and December, to remember what it felt like to have the ultimate fastball aimed at his head. Sometimes he puts it on for no reason at all. It's the only item in his trophy room that he stares at, the only item that has nothing to do with baseball, the only item that is probably worthless on eBay but priceless to this Hall of Famer. To Tony Gwynn, it is not just a mask made out of ordinary plastic. It is the mask that helped him, literally, save face.

It would pose an challenge for the series as you'd have to lower the face down to the belly to make the hair & cap fit on the shirt. I agree though, it's a major oversight. I do tip my cap at how they've recognized how popular Willie McGee and Jay Buhner are to Cards & M's fans.
