as it happens in the comments section.
Why aren't they playing Teixeira? He's played in like only 4 games. I understand that they want to give the rookies a chance to show what they got, but Johnny Damon and Xavier Naduy have played like all most all of them.
ReplyDeletei cant wait to see burnett on saturday on yes i get real exited when hes on the mound i have a feeling we will see a no hitter this year from burnett
ReplyDeleteI don't know why yankee boy. I don't know why Kei Igawa is pitching. But there is only one solution, I should pitch.
ReplyDeleteyou any good?
ReplyDeleteI'm only 13 so I can probably throw 75 or somethen.U got a nice blog yankee boy, i've been on there lately.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty damn good for a 13 year old isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThink so?
ReplyDeleteIt sounds good to me, but I'm not expert on junior high baseball so I'm not sure.
ReplyDeleteThanks man.
ReplyDeleteyankeefan91,
ReplyDeleteThere were a couple times last year when I thought he had no-hit stuff on the mound. Too bad every time was against the Yankees.
Well Joba's looking like he's fixed whatever was screwing him up his first two starts.
ReplyDeleteThat was a bad double play for the yankees, but Gardner had no jance.
ReplyDeletelol thats so true greg his stuff is just nastyy last season i went to see the jays play against the yanks and the they were just playin catch in the outfield and u just hear that glove pop and how it just comes out of his hand its just amazin it looks like hes not even trying to trow it that hard.
ReplyDeleteGreat inning by Joba. He does have nasty stuff.
ReplyDeleteYea he hits 96+ very easily. He was hitting 97-98 in his first spring training game.
ReplyDeleteWish I can throw that fast when I get older.
ReplyDeleteYea I'm impressed with Joba so far, especially coming off those two crappy games.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm glad Gardner got another hit - he really is swinging a good bat, but I would have liked to see Gardner get that bunt down.
He has the rest of spring training to get a bunt down. He is fighting for a spot in center field so he needs to show his bat more and steal more bases.
ReplyDeleteYou have a point, he's proving he can swing the bat. But really, he has to be able to bunt when they need him to.
ReplyDeleteHe doesn't have to in the first inning, when theirs a runner on second or somethen, then thats a time u have to bunt.
ReplyDeleteLet me put it this way: regardless of the situation, when Joe Girardi tells him to bunt, he has to get the bunt down.
ReplyDeleteExactly, he has to do what he is told or..... u know.
ReplyDelete"U got a nice blog yankee boy, i've been on there lately."
ReplyDeleteThanks Liam. That means a lot to me. And to tell you the truth, I don't get a lot of visitors, except you, Greg, and some of my pals.
Also, 75 miles an hour? Damn you're good for 13.
(I'm only 12, so I throw 65 or something)
Thanks man, and thats good for a 12 year old. I just don't know how to post a comment on your blog. We can chat some more. Baseball is my future so I would do anything to play baseball.
ReplyDeleteAre any of you watching the Dominican Republic play the Netherlands? It's 0-0 in the 7th. It's amazing to me how bad the DR looks.
ReplyDeleteWhat channel? If it's the MLB network then i'm out of luck.
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty easy. You click on the comments section on the bottom of the post like Sliding Into Home, and post.
ReplyDeleteIf you can't I'll see what I can do to fix it.
They're a bunch of punks that's why. Did you see Hanley on that long fly ball last inning? He hits a warning track fly ball and he's breaking it down like it's a homer. It's pathetic.
ReplyDeleteYea, it's on MLB network, Liam.
ReplyDeleteAnon,
I did see that. Just run hard out of the box. I don't get what's so hard about that.
WHAT CHANNEL?! The game seems exiting.
ReplyDeleteGreg,
ReplyDeleteI'm playing MLB '09: The Show right now. I'll turn on the DR-Netherlands game now.
I just told you, it's on the MLB network.
ReplyDeleteToo bad for me.
ReplyDeleteI love that game Yakeeboy. I'm gonna play a few games after this is over.
ReplyDeleteI was posting the same time as you I guess Greg, sorry.
ReplyDeleteNo prob.
ReplyDeleteI'm starting to hate you guys a little bit. I don't have the money yet to get the game so please don't talk about it.
ReplyDeletesorry, didn't know.
ReplyDeleteHate is a strong word, i'll just say that i'm mad. U guys are the best.
ReplyDeleteYea, my bad.... Have you played the demo?
ReplyDeleteI have the game too Liam. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteIt's ok.
ReplyDeleteNo not realy, I just go on youtube and wtch some videos of it. The game seems realy cool. I'm cool with watching it until I get the game.
ReplyDeleteDamn! 42 Comments! And like 35 of them are by Greg and Liam. That must be a record!
ReplyDeleteOooops, it's now 43!
It's a record for a spring game, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteliam,
ReplyDeleteThat's what I did. I just got it yesterday.
Greg,
ReplyDeleteWhat about the entire history of the blog? I've followed SIH since you created it and I've never seen more than 40 comments in a post.
Hay, I wounder if we keep on talking the comments can reach to 70 or somethen.
ReplyDeleteHey Greg,
ReplyDeleteAny stadium updates? been a while. I bet there are some new pic some where...
My record is 115 from the 8/12 game against the Twins last year.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw this many comments, I got SO NERVOUS. I thought Joba's arm had fallen off or something. So I opened it up, lump in throat. Glad to see it was just meanignless jabber back and forth...phew!
ReplyDeleteI've found this blog on Gregs first post. He was interdusing himself and the blog. I remember that squrril card. I have not seen more than 40 comments though.WOW
ReplyDeleteHey Peter,
ReplyDeleteI'll have an update by the end of the week. There haven't been many new pictures lately.
mlb 09 the show is awesome i just made a new cover because pedroia is on the front
ReplyDeleteLiam,
ReplyDeleteThere were several game threads last year with more than 50 comments.
Thanks...It will be one part of the blog I will miss once the stadium opens...Only a few more weeks of stadium updates before it opens!
ReplyDeleteYeah I hate the Pedroia cover.
ReplyDelete115, I don't remember that.
ReplyDeleteI'm a slow typer so it will take a while for me for my comment to come up.
Peter,
ReplyDeleteThen I will have a stadium demolition picture page.
Pedroia cover sucks.
ReplyDeleteHere's the post Liam, http://slidingintohome.blogspot.com/2008/08/game-120-yankees-twins.html#comments
ReplyDeleteThanks, Greg.
ReplyDeleteI don't think the MLB '09 makers like Yankee fans. In '06 it was David Ortiz, in '07 it was David Wright, our crosstown rival, (okay, so Ryan Howard wasn't that bad) and this year it's Dustin Pedroia. I bet you next year it will be Jason Bay or something.
ReplyDeleteNow I remember. I wrot some stuff down as comments. I was Anonymous for a while, then I started writing my real name becuase you seem like a trustful guy. Thanks again Greg.
ReplyDeleteThey better put a Yankee guy on the cover for next year. Tex would be my first joice.
ReplyDeleteAbout Gardner's bunting all the scouts say he is good at bunting and he did have a bunt single yesterday.
ReplyDeleteTex would be a good choice.
ReplyDeleteDuncan just hit a 3-run homer for the Yanks, nice...
The DR game is going into the bottom of the 9th, still scoreless. Netherlands coming up to bat.
Yeah bunting for Gardner is very important. Kevin Long was saying that Joe Girardi was placing a higher emphasis on manufacturing runs this spring training. Yankees were horrible last year at getting runners in scoring position in.
ReplyDeleteYou're right Anon, he is a good bunter. I just didn't like that he couldn't get one down earlier.
ReplyDeleteOk yankee boy I think I need your help with this. I was trying to post a comment on your blog and it has Word Verification which I don't know what that is. Then theres Google/ blogger and u need like a password or something.
ReplyDeleteWow, the DR team must realy suck againts the Netherlands.
ReplyDeleteE6 on Jose Reyes in the top of the 9th.... instead of nobody on with two out the Dutch have a runner on first with one out.
ReplyDeleteliam i'll try to fix it right now. wait like 5 minutes.
ReplyDeletek, think i fixed it.
ReplyDeleteThis is a sick game... Cano is up in the top of the 10th with 1st and 2nd and two out in a 0-0 game.
ReplyDeleteAnd Cano chokes.
ReplyDeleteThis is a sick game that I can't watch. Keep updating me Greg if u feel like it.
ReplyDeleteThanks YankeeBoy, i'll go try now.
The DR took a 1-0 lead on a misplay in the top of the 11th, then in the bottom half the guy who made the misplay drove in the tying run with a bloop single. Amazing game.
ReplyDeleteI just looked on mlb.com saying that the game is tied with runners on the corner.
ReplyDeleteThe Dutch win 2-1 on an error from Willy Aybar of the Rays. Wow what a game, and what an upset.
ReplyDeleteI can't fucking believe it. WOW!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd the dude who screwed things up for the Dutch in the top of the inning ends up getting the big game tying single and then scoring the winning run. Un-freaking-real.
ReplyDelete82 comments, a person will wake up tommorow to leave a comment and will say, these guys have no lives. There just sitting on the computer waiting for someone to answer back.
ReplyDelete84 now.
ReplyDeleteIt would be funny if the Dutch won the entire thing.
ReplyDeleteOne last thing. Today is March 10th. I think it's time to close those polls now.
ReplyDeleteGood call, I completely forgot about those.
ReplyDeleteGood, glad I spotted them.
ReplyDeleteNew record for most comments on a single post?
ReplyDeleteNah, on Aug. 12, last year we had 115 for the Minnesota game thread.
ReplyDeleteholy crap 90+ comments for a Spring Training game... this year is gonna be crazy.. ur blog is getting very popular.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised myself. Even though it was only about 7 of us, it's still cool to get this many comments for any game let along a spring training game.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys.
Even though we had a lot of comments, most of it wasn't about the game.
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with a little meaningless conversation, especially during a spring training game.
