I don't think tinder or Libby would appreciate the Yankees losing 7 straight games they might blow a gasket.
LOL no, I don't think they would.
I see your tablet autocorrects tomder55 as tinder as my has in the past:)
Also when we get close I think we start a 2015 MLB post season thread. Might get more coming on to talk about their team. That will work in the Rangers favor as you and I both know Bannister reads our comments here:)

this is slow as crap and exceedingly hard to "Copy, cut and paste"...
I hear ya. I use my Kindle Fire sometimes at home. It's going on 3 years old now I think. It's fine for watching videos/movies and reading. But posting on a site like this is challenging. Thinking of asking 'Santa' for an iPad:)

Yeah that's a good idea there are other fans out there who will want to gloat when their team wins, especially against teams like the Yankees, Dodgers and Cardinals... 😈. LOL...

Woo hoo power just came back on, was out almost 4hrs... Went outside to whizz and when I came back inside the power was on and so was damn near every light in the house??? Guess the old lady had to try every switch in the house to convince herself the power was really out...

Ah come on. You have to give him some credit. He has about the same amount of RBIs as Beltre this year.
Then again Odor is doing better than both of them and he spent what 5 weeks in the minors. That's with a sub Mendoza line BA now he has it up to .270 or so with I think 47 RBI and 9 HRs. Making great plays too.

Tinder says the Yanks aint going to lose 7 straight. They just came off a 5-1 road trip against teams they should beat . They made it close today by playing a typical Fenway game .They proved that it don't really matter how many arms they add to the bullpen if they can't pitch .
When I entered this discussion the Yanks were 15 over 500 . Now after the dog days are over they go into the weekend 16 over . They have 10 games against the Jays and Mets ;and 16 games against teams they should beat (Ray's, O's ,White Sox, Red Sox).
Now if you could arrange for the Jays to lose 7 straight .........
BTW . The bottom of the Yankee order ;Didi and Drew have a combined 87 RBI's and should easily have 100+ by the end of the season. Not bad for guys that some say should've been replaced .
That's what the DVR is for, either that or drink enough before bed so that it will force you to get up about 3AM. That way you have an excuse for checking out the box score. That's what I did woke up at 4AM to whizz then checked the score and found they won...
Looks like they heard what I had to say about not having any heart when they get down late in the game, they've been making comebacks recently. Guess I need to keep talking bad about them to give Banny something to post on the locker room wall... :)

Considering how much he/they are making not a heck of a lot, over 30 million in salary and less that 100 RBI between them... :( :( :(
Roughie has about 150 less at bats about the same statistics and gets paid $500K, I'd take 3 Roughies any day. Besides that he stirs the pot when on the field that gets the opposition upset and off their game... :)

I have to say if they make the playoffs Bannister has to be up for manager of the year in the AL. What a turn around. However, that honor will no doubt go to Houston.

He does and we needed that.
My older son watched him bat last night and said "dad is Odor 'staring down' the pitcher, he looks intense." I said, 'yes that's what you are supposed to do.':)

You know I think Beltre could be a good pot stirrer if he put his mind to it, he seems like he has that mentality inside him somewhere... Especially after reading those comments he made about being "the ugly one"... LOL...

This clown has belly ached all year whenever the Mets considered 6 man rotations ;skipping one of his starts ,or even when he was taken out of games early .. The article portrays it as a dispute between Matt Harvey's agent ,the infamous Scott Boras, and Mets GM Sandy Alderson. But the real issue is that Matt Harvey is a diva .If he wants a chance for the ring ;he should tell Boras that he's all in.
Don't worry you didn't miss much except for a guy who can't hit his way out of a wet paper bag continues to tear up Ranger pitching. 1/2 of his total RBIs for the year have came against the Rangers...
Needless to say I think you can figure out what the rest of the story line is, Perez can get thru the order once and then all bets are off... Maybe it's time for me to start talking bad about Perez so Banny can hang my comments on "the outside" of his locker?? Oh wait never mind I just did...
Let me see which pig "DON'T" I want to vote for, the one with or without lipstick??" Hmmmmm...
Don't give up on Perez just yet. I saw an article he admitted eating "bad tacos" before the game. I'm sure Banister would have liked to know that. Sounds like the stupid stuff Holland used to do before he got that Angels fan dog of his:)
So blame it on the tacos this time.
Plus not thinking tacos are a good pre game meal 48hours out from pitching. Thinking tacos are a good meal for AFTER pitching a game.

I am reminded of the time the Nats shut down Strasburg in 2012 before the playoffs. They figured they would be in the hunt for years to come. Guess they were wrong.
They shut him down but he still needed TJ surgery later.

There is of course the possibility that Harvey and Boras are covering up an injury . Heard Harvey talk about it today . I thought he'd sound like Keshawn Johnson...give me the d--n ball !! . Instead he sounded wishy washy about the issue. He said he always considered 180 innings his limit. Come on ! Who does he think he's fooling ? He has complained about missing starts and getting taken out of games all season . In the height of a pennant race he and his agent do this stunt ? The Mets don't need this distraction and don't deserve it . They have supported him throughout his career knowing that Boras will cut the rug out from under them when he becomes a Free Agent.
I know what I would do . He immediately goes to the bullpen to be a one inning bridge to Clippard . Then if he has any innings left in the post season he can be on the roster until his 180 is up . The NATs did it to themselves . Harvey and his agent are calling the shots this time.
I saw an article he admitted eating "bad tacos" before the game.
I'm not giving up on him I'm just saying he needs to change things up somewhat after the first time thru the order. We both know he has the stuff to be a good pitcher but when you keep using the same sequence the batters pick up on it. Then they just sit back and wait till you throw the 3-2 fastball/curve/sinker you always throw.
Bad tacos can be a blessing, helps keep bugs and the pitching coach away from you while on the mound... And you'll have the end of the bench all to yourself so you can think about sequence of pitches!!! :)

He had TJ in Aug 2010 came back and pitched some in 2011 (24 innings) and then they shut him down in 2012 at 160 innings... I'm not sure why since it had been over 2 years since his surgery, would have to say they were being wery, wery, wery careful...
