Garcia is the first Venezuelan to reach 150 victories. He is one of five from Venezuela to win at least 100 games. Name the other four.
Johan, Carlos Zambrano, Kelvim Escobar, and Wilson Alvarez. I remembered at the top of my head Johan and Wilson. Had to check baseball reference for the others. And King Felix is 5 wins from 100.
That is correct. I looked it up but before doing so, I would have guessed all but Escobar.

Kind of hard to bat a guy who has a .288 on-base percentage leadoff don't you think and in a lineup filled with power, Granderson seems to be a decent option. He has done it 556 times in his career with some reasonable success, so it's not a bad move given the circumstances, though I have no issue with him second and Jeter leading off.

Who has the .288 on-base percentage? Ichiro?

Baltimore ain't catching shit. Tampa would be the only team I am slightly concerned about because of their pitching.
I don't like Granderson batting leadoff but Girardi said he has a higher OBP than Jeter against righties, which makes some sense. I just think you have to have Granderson in a spot where you get multiple runs if he hits one out.
No real shame in losing to Verlander, I actually thought they put together some decent at bats. Nova as horrific though. I don't know what I would do about that. Keep the fucking ball down.

Who has the .288 on-base percentage? Ichiro?
Yep. And since he's a free-swinger, do you really want him batting leadoff? The point is that late in the games, if it's close it forces managers to mix-and-match since Granderson and Cano are not hitting consecutively. It might not be such a big deal if both players say had .270 averages against lefties, but they don't. Cano is hitting .245 off lefties, .358 off righties while Granderson is hitting .231 against lefties.
This will come more into play since Toronto, Texas, Boston, Chicago presently have multiple left-handed relievers on their current rosters. Detroit's only left-handed reliever is Phil Coke.

Yep, and I wish Kelleher would have sent Ichiro last night. Make them make a play. Their defense is pretty horrible in general. In a game like that, don't wait for another hit.

cliff..he was just getting to 3ed when the reay guy caught it...had no chance of scoring
believe me..im all for putting pressure on the defense...but he had no chance

i was yelling at the tv till i saw where ichiro was...then i said good thing he didnt send him
as it turns out..he was better off sending him and hoping ichiro knocked him over

Ichiro knocking someone over
At least we have our two best pitchers going the next couple days. A split is much needed. Going to be tough.
On another note, how filthy is Caberea? Love watching him hit, expect when they are playing the Yanks
What happens to some players when they leave NY?
Weaver?
Now Burnett? 14-3?! :fp:
Wrong Weaver and this is hardly breaking news that some people perform better after leaving the Yankees.

Ahh, I wasnt sure...wasnt there a skinny tall guy, Weaver on the yanks a few years back?
His brother Jeff. Without looking I think he may have had one solid season after leaving the Yanks, but pretty much his best work was prior to the Yanks trading for him.

What to rub it in Yankees fans faces that the team is in bad shape right now? Do you want a fucking cookie? DS was right that the Yanks were going to go on a slide...congratufuckinglations. We got it dude, you don't like this team. We all understand.
This is not a bad baseball team. Bad spot. 5 game lead still though. Hopefully they can weather the storm. They don't look like the confident team they did for 6-8 weeks. Get to the playoffs and see what happens. No one is exactly tearing it up in the AL right now.
Yeah, would be nice, he is just going to cost so much and has only had one rebound year. Kevin Long pretty much said he could do this all along, and that he just wasn't putting in the time in New York, am sure they were worried it would rub off on Cano too. Said he stopped drinking and concentrated on baseball and now look.
How crazy is it that Boone Logan is looking like the most useful piece of a trade that sent a good prospect and Melky coming off a world series to Atlanta for a pitcher coming off a Cy Young caliber year and Boone Logan.

No reason to get all volatile man! :fp: I just find it ironic that just over a month ago I expressed my views about the team...especially the dependance on the HR...and all of this shit pretty much played itself out for the last 4-6 weeks. Yet I got jumped on like I was some idiot who didn't know what the fuck I was talking about because I don't know who the 47th ranked prospect in the Yankees farm system is or my opinion meant nothing. Again...I hope the team breaks the funk...but the way it i, quite frankly, I'm not so sure. Lead or no lead...I certainly have ZERO confidence heading into the playoffs with this team.
I'm sorry if my frankness offends some Yankee fans...I really do...but I just post what I see...and this club is not a good one and it hasn't been for a month and a half.
