El Zen Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Marte has been phenomenal in relief for the Yankees, too. Strikes out Utley with runners at first and second to end the seventh. This is looking very good, should be able to leave Mo with a comfortable lead to defend. I don't often say this, but God Bless America Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zen Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I too am slightly worried that Mo has not yet thrown a pitch, Kurt. It should be the easiet call in the world to make, letting Mo get the final six outs of this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zen Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Mo is up in the pen. Thank gawd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zen Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 On reflection, it would make sense to let Marte face Howard. After that, it has to be Mo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Aye. The Yankees had better not throw this away. I'm sure they won't, but Phillie fans all over the net have ben unbearable this year, especially with how badly we fared. Even with their new found success, they still talk about the Mets more than they do themselves! It would be very, very nice to see them lose their World Series title IN New York.

El Zen Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 There is absolutely no way The Great Rivera will give up four runs in the 9th. If that happens, I'll go topless in the Holte End on saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leviramsey Posted November 6, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted November 6, 2009 Time for the Hot Stove League to start up again... * Angels re-sign Abreu for two years * Red Sox acquire Jeremy Hermida from the Marlins for prospects * White Sox re-sign Kotsay * The first 79 free agency filings have been made Pitcher John Lackey and outfielder Matt Holliday were among 79 players who filed for free agency Thursday, the first possible day. Outfielder Jason Bay, first baseman Carlos Delgado, pitcher John Smoltz and reliever Billy Wagner also filed as did pitcher Jon Garland after the Los Angeles Dodgers declined his $10 million option. He will receive a $2.5 million buyout. Instead of becoming a free agent again, outfielder Bobby Abreu agreed to a $19 million, two-year contract to stay with the Angels. "I really feel happy here with Los Angeles," Abreu said. "I really enjoy to play for them, and I think when they started with the conversation for the contract and we didn't have any problems back and forth, it was a nice negotiation. It was no problem to stay and come back with the Angels." Abreu hit .293 with 15 homers, 103 RBI, 30 steals and 94 walks as Los Angeles won the AL West and advanced to the AL Championship Series. Approximately 100 more players are potentially eligible to file by the Nov. 19 deadline. Mark Kotsay agreed to a $1.5 million contract to remain with the Chicago White Sox rather than become eligible for free agency. The 33-year-old infielder and outfielder hit .278 with four homers and 23 RBI in 67 games combined with Boston and the White Sox. Colorado agreed to an $850,000, one-year contract with right-hander Matt Belisle and a $650,000, one-year deal with left-hander Randy Flores. Also filing for free agency were Arizona infielder Chad Tracy and Florida first baseman-outfielder Ross Gload. Tracy's $7 million option was declined by Diamondbacks, and he will receive a $1 million buyout. The Marlins declined a $2.6 million option on Gload and traded outfielder Jeremy Hermida to Boston for left-handers Hunter Jones and Jose Alvarez. Hermida was the 11th overall pick in the 2002 amateur draft but has yet to fulfill his projected potential. He was among Florida's best-paid players this year at $2.25 million but hit only .259 with 13 homers and 47 RBIs in 129 games. "When you acquire a player, sometimes you acquire them because you think there's a chance that with a change of scenery they'll reach their potential," Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein said. "Things never really came together for him in the big leagues. That's not uncommon for young players. He's about to turn 26, coming into his prime."

leviramsey Posted November 6, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted November 6, 2009 The word I'm hearing is that the Yankees are likely to let Matsui go (perhaps to Seattle), so that Posada and Damon can platoon as the DH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-dub Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 If there's a 38-year-old starting pitcher with a beer gut and a career 5.75 ERA on that list, the Mets will be in for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
