Weren't you saying how awesome he was, etc when the Red Sox got him? The Red Sox fans don't really like standing behind their own players going through rough times...... Where us Yankee fans are still supporting Wang( at least I am :p ).

I've never been a huge fan of dice k he always walks too many guys because he nibbles and can't throw strikes. Then he builds up his pitch count and is done after 5 innings. At his best, he wasn't giving up hits so the walks didn't really hurt him. He'd go 5-6 innings last year but he only gave up like 1-2 runs usually.

Now he is just getting hit really bad. Something is probably still wrong with his arm. His velocity is down, and he can't control any of his pitches.. not even his fastball.

They just announced they're skipping his next start (John Smoltz!) and he's going to have some MRIs and ****. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up going on the DL. That's what needs to happen.. because then he can go to the minors on rehab. His contract specifically says that he can't be optioned to the minors, so rehab is the only way.

I like Dice K, but he needs a break. Playing in the WBC was a big mistake for him. I think he needs a few weeks off, followed by a few minor league outings, and then we'll see where he's at. Its not like we don't have enough depth to replace him for a while.

Pretty good outing by Beckett tonight, nice to give the pen some time off.
 
in other news, johan santana lost again (only gave up 2 runs). i just love seeing the mets lose.:)

hopefully jj gets his act together and we can beat the knucklefield. last night was just getting owned by beckett (who's a great ace).

btw, what's with the dice-k bashing? i thought he was the big thing?
 
Mariano Rivera gets an RBI in only his 3rd plate appearance ever, on a bases-loaded walk issued by K-Rod.

How about those Mets? They only managed 3 runs on 9 hits, in the 3-game Subway Series. Perhaps my Braves can catch them soon.
 
The seats were all removed by the end of May. The field was pulled in April.

The core of the stadium won't be down until 2010.

I know, but didn't see any posts mentioning it. Goodbye baseball history...... It's going to be a sad moment when I see the time lapse of tearing down the stadium..... :(

If you go to the early posts of the thread I have some stuff about it.

mets are a joke. i still wonder why people pick them to win anything after three straight years of choking.

The Braves aren't playing much better.

we stink. especially the hitting. i think it's time to clean house and build around mccann, hanson, and jurijens. possible 100 loss season this year.

Didn't see any posts about it, but demo of Yankee Stadium has begun. :(

A site dedicated to the demo to it.

Such a sin. :( Hope they save the gate though.

it's always sad to see a piece of history go like this...sniff.
 
Not much the fans can do really.

Since Yankee Stadium is city owned, I guess the fans can simply not vote for the people who didn't want to save the gate. :p I don't know why they are refusing to keep the famous gate standing. It would be a good entrance to Heritage Park and still preserve something of history.
 
Just watching some Sportscenter highlights from today's games..Tim Linecum (pitcher, Giants) is ridiculous. He's just making hitters look plain stupid up there. That kid can throw! :eek:
