VOTE ZIM: UPDATE!!!
When we last checked in on the voting for the 2009 MLB All-Star Game, Ryan Zimmerman trailed NY Mets' third baseman David Wright by a margin of 247,745 votes. (994,855 for Wright vs 747,380 for Zim). Apparently the voting public has picked up the pace...
- David Wright - NYM - 1,256,736
- Ryan Zimmerman - WAS - 920,780
- Chipper Jones - ATL - 864,017
David Wright now leads the race for the starting spot at third by 335,956 votes, that's an 88,211 vote increase in his lead since last time out. In one week, Ryan Zimmerman added 173,400 votes, Wright added 226,881, and Chipper Jones actually had the second biggest increase, going from 640,598 to 864,017, for a week's total of 223,419.
DC vs NY -
The Washington Nationals have played just 3 games against the New York Yankees since the Expos moved to DC. Washington welcomed the Yankees into RFK Stadium back in 2006, from June 16-18, for a three-game series in which DC managed to take 2 of 3 at home against NY. Ryan Zimmerman homered off Chien-Ming Wang in the bottom of the ninth of the series finale to lift the Nationals to a 2-1 lead over the Yanks in the DC franchise's brief history. Former DC reliever Gary Majewski got the win in Game 3 when Zimmerman homered. Game 2 saw the Nationals score 5 runs late in the game to claim an 11-9 DC victory over NY, with Washington led by Jose Vidro, Jose Guillen and the big bat of former pinch hitter Daryle Ward. The Series opener, the only game the Yankees would win, ended when Bernie Williams broke a tie with a ninth inning HR off Chad Cordero in a 7-5 NY win.
At the end of the NY/DC series in '06, the Yankees were 38-29, just 1.0 game behind AL East-leading Boston, and the Nationals 32-39, good for 3rd in the NL East after 71 games. Heading into play today, the Yankees are 36-27, 2.0 games behind the AL East-leading Red Sox, the Nationals find themselves 5th in the NL East at 16-45, 20.0 games behind the 1st place Phillies, and 13.5 games behind the NL East's fourth-place Braves...The Yankees have won just 5 of their last 10, the Nationals just 2. NY is 20-12 at home, DC 6 and 23 on the road in '09...Those are just numbers though...

Yeah. CC sort of owns the Nats. I doubt much will change tonight.

Speaking for myself...I'm serious. I think we won't get 3 runs tonight and the Yanks will get maybe 8+ earned/unearned.
Can’t give extra outs to good team.
CC sort of owns us and can go 120+ pitches. So, they should get to their late ining bullpen guys with ease. Joba or whoever in the 8th and Rivera in the 9th if it’s a save situation.

The Red Sox have wisely chosen to give Smoltz his first big league start of the season against, you guessed it, The Nats.
It’s a good step between AAA and MLB

4:1 odds
Also, you guys got MASN commercials\
I cant go anywhere without seeing a colin ballester billboard or hear him talk about how his favorite show starts at ten and he gets home 10:58.
But with Time Warner Cable, Collin can press start over and watch his favorite show

NJ was guest on the radio pre-game show.
New Yankee stadium isn’t much like the old stadium. He said he was “there to win” and/or “wanted to win some games” at least three times during the 5-minute interview. Admired guys like Jeter and Posada when he was coming up with the Yankees, kept his mouth shut and tried to learn from the vets. Play the game “the right way,” “play to win” and “leave it all on the field.” Not satisfied with his wing right now, needs to swing at more strikes. Feels like his “lower half” is “wrong” when he’s swinging at bad pitches. Sabathia is tough, the plan is: if you get a pitch, don’t miss it. Not real worried about whether the Yankee fans remember him, figures it was a few years ago. Was nice to play in the post season; he hopes to do it again someday.
Entertainingly, Charlie and Dave tweak the new stadium as being better suited to Willamsport because of its little-league dimensions, heh.

Here’s my conspiracy theory for the night.
The reason Manny did not get fired last night
was so the Yanks front office could get a look at him,
and possibly talk to him. If Giradi doesn’t win it al this year he’s gone.
Manny wil be either the manager of the Mets or the Yanks next.
He’ll go from rags to riches.

compared to some of the Cubs game threads, this was polite and high minded discourse. I love the Cubs and Bleed Cubbie Blue, but I tend to steer clear of the game threads while in progress.

Errr... optimism
That’s four consecutive appearances for Villone where he’s taken the loss. Amazingly, they’ve all happened since last Wednesday! In the Nats’ last six games, “bullpen ace” Ron Villone has gone 0-4. I hate to beat the same drum over and over. I know there aren’t a lot of (well… any) great arms in the bullpen, but when a pitcher is as ice cold as Villone has been for the past week, the manager has to realize that and…. well… maybe, just maybe consider going in a different direction.
by bluelineswinger on Jun 17, 2009 12:02 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I don't see any other names in the bullpen that would have been any better of a choice.
And that hit over Dukes’ head was terrible. Villone can’t be blamed totally for that. Would Patterson or Willie H. have made the play? That would have involved taking Kearns out of the game. Maybe the thinking is Dukes’ arm is more valuable in CF, and in a different scenario (Cano being the tying run there), that might have been a key.
The big culture change can’t happen soon enough, though.
