Did you watch the game? He did not have very good stuff... His D saved his butt big time, especially that catch by Tori Hunter... Whew.
Yea wasn't on top of his game today, especially with those 9 hits. I saw up to the 3rd inning with the strike out throw em out play at 3rd and Hunter and his perfect throw. But a guy like him doesn't need his best stuff to win. Batters are flat out scared of him and will just about swing at pitches that they usually take for balls. Of course the Twins D is one of the best in the majors too. Damn, if only we had a guy like Hunter roaming center field here

I don't think the Yanks were scared of him. They hit some balls pretty hard, but at people... Those five DPs they turned helped a lot.

Yuck. I'll never forgive him for beaning Piazza. Or his broken bat throwing incident. Great pitcher, stupid person.
eltinator wrote:True, the beaning of Piazza was really uncalled for. No clue why the hec he did that
He did it 'cause Piazza was owning him at the plate at the time... Pitchers always seem to brush back batters who have hammered them to keep them from crowding the plate...
I still can't believe he expected people to believe that "he thought the broken bat was the ball" when he threw it at Piazza in the World Series. That solidified his standing as an idiot, IMO... :shakehead:
One thing I have to say about the Red Sox though and that is those guys must have the best set of hair styles in the whole majors. You got Pedro and Manny growing it out and then there's Millar with the beard and then JOHNNY DAMON! :hehe: :hehe: :hehe: :hehe:
I can't stop laughing at him when he goes up to bat. But if long hair works, then hec yea!

I don't know about best, but they sure are weird... Manny and Pedro look sorta goofy with those curls hanging out of their caps... Damon??? The guy's a caveman!!
What about the Angels Bartolo Colon? He looks like he's wearing one of those gag caps with hair attached to it... :hehe:
<--- Still growing it out :hehe: :hehe: :hehe:
You and your gal, neh?
Damon's up at bat now... He should be carrying a club, not a bat. :hehe:
