If you mute the sound you won't hear the Yankee propaganda.

He's due to lose.

Yankees should be sweating Garret. Three or four runs should be enough tonight. Tanaka is the real deal but so is our offense. Plus we are the team that can't get over .500. We have had no problem getting TO .500. Have already done it 5 times this year.

[Glen]

But, ESPN.

[ItzTacosYerrp]

but to 500 weeee go

In 2002 we stunk up the place in the opener, losing to Cleveland 6-0.

 

Then we won the World Series.

We just can't get over that mark. Something always seems to happen.

 

I think it would be a big boost for the morale of the team if we could get over the hump.

"The more Tanaka sees hitters, the better he performs. Opponents are hitting .314 against him the first time through the lineup and only .149 after that. Additionally, he hasn't lost a regular-season game since Aug. 19, 2012 when the Seibu Lions beat the Rakuten Eagles at the Seibu Dome."

 

From Fox Sports.

 

They need to hit early and often!

Trout vs SP by AB:

 

1st - .935

2nd - .990

3rd - 1.037

4th - 1.128

 

Pujols

 

1st - .966

2nd - .961

3rd - 1.126

4th - 1.185 

 

something something unstoppable force vs. immovable object.

We get to hear what a HUGE Yank fan he was growing up....again.

We get to hear what a HUGE Yank fan he was growing up....again.

If that was true, they might be talking about that. He grew up a Phillies fan.

[Inside Pitch]

And the Yankee propaganda starts early....  

 

ESPN does a story on Mike Trout -- and what's the subject?  How the Yankees would have gotten him had the Angels not picked him, and the closing comment -- how the Yankees may try to sign him when he is a FA in seven years...

 

Pathetic reporting at it's best.

[Fontana Halo]

Beats listening to the game on FOX with Buck and McCarver.

[Angelsjunky]

Tanaka, Winter is Coming.
