Yea. I'm pretty sure this is the first year of the 4-day break.

 

Actually, in recent years, SOME teams have resumed play on Thursday, while other were off until Friday.

I heard he dropped another poop reference too which is hilarious.

 

"It's all behind me now."

 

George Brett responding to questions about hemhoroids (sp?) that he was suffering from some season late in his playing career.

Only 25hrs to go.

 

 

And, I have a lend of a laptop for the weekend, so I'll be able to follow the games. :)

Tiggers and Yank-me's are a day game, at least there is something to keep track of.

12:05 start, should be a good pitching matchup, Kuroda vs. Fister.

 

Fister's last 5 starts: 4-1, 39 IP, 37 K, 1.62 ERA

Kuroda's last 4 starts: 2-1, 28.1 IP, 22 K, 1.27 ERA

Hopefully the Yankees can win this one also.

Kuroda has an ERA of 0.25 in day games this year.

Sneaky-huge series this weekend:

 

F: McCarthy vs Floyd

S: Milone vs Liriano

S: Parker vs Sale

 

Toronto series, if they don't use a 6th starter:

M: Peavy vs Villanueva

T: Quintana vs Alvarez

W: Floyd vs Romero

Th: Sale vs Laffey

 

And guess what? We'll probably get Mendoza, Chen and Guthrie next weekend too.

I F***ing hate Chen that dude is a beast when he pitches against the sox and doesnt even throw 90mph. otherwise I like our chances as long as good Gavin shows up for both of his starts I could see us going 7-0 against the As and Toronto. As Toronto is without Joeybats and Lawrie now and you have to believe the As have to fall off at somepoint right?

Rain delay in Detroit

 

 

Like to be a full game ahead of those Kitty Kats at end of day

Raul Ibanez triples to score Eric Chavez, then Ichiro knocks him in with a single, 2-0 Yankees. Age ain't nothing but a number.

f*** Detroit...

Don't hold me to this, but the Sox may miss both Sabathia and Kuroda.

Not much boredom for me in this offday. Got the Womens gold medal match against Japan coming up and after that, the first Bears preseason game.

 

Time to cheer on our girls :usa

Barring any rainouts, if they stick to a 5-man rotation, you are right. CC & Kuroda would pitch vs Boston the Saturday & Sunday before they come to Chicago.

It just feels dirty rooting for the Yankees.

They honestly don't bother me as much anymore. I think all my hatred has been bestowed upon the Red Sox, that I kinda let the Yankees slide.

Tigers annoy me more than either of those teams.

The Cabrera/Prince hand shakes are annoying and bush.
