Great comeback by Yanks to overcome sloppy play and avoid the sweep.
A sweep by the Mets in the Stadium would've been too good to be true.

Yanks are 7 games behind the BoSox and needed that win to not fall further behind.
Mets are 7 games behind the Nats and can't ever take advantage of the Nats losing, to gain ground. They better pick things up in their upcoming stretch against the Phillies, Marlins, and Nats

giambi went from a juiced up slugger to a modern day pete rose (all hits being singles)


of course without the gambilng

Yeah he obliterated the previous round record by Miguel Tejada of 15. And they were drilled, they weren't taps over the fence. He put on a show!

C'mon American League, get that home field advantage. Just thinking that determines home field makes me think of total gayness.

The funny thing about Abreu is this...

Garret Anderson went from being one of the most underrated players in the game to being one of the most overrated players in the game. You heard casual fans talking about GA like he was in the top 3 in the game or something. Which he wasn't then and isn't now.

Bobby Abreu will now become a house hold name. People will talk about him all the time. He will go from being *the* most underrated and underappreciated player in the game today... to being... still the most underrated and underappreciated player in the game today. Even I, a Bobby Abreu whore, underrate Abreu. He is the second best all-around player in the game, behind Alex Rodriguez. He is probably a top 10 offensive player as well. Despite my loving of him, I still don't think I truly appreciate how great of a ball player he is. His stats are abnormal, year in, year out. He's amazing.

He's had 6 (counting this year, 7 [2 more homers is pretty much a given for the rest of the year]) consecutive 20/20 seasons, two of which being 30/30 (with this year likely being one as well, making that 3 30/30 seasons).

In 7 full seasons with the Phils, he has posted an OPS lower than .900 once. And it was close at .877.

His OBP has gone lower than .400 only once too, at .393.

He has walked 100+ times in each full season, and is on pace to do so again.

He really is one of the best in the game... and even now that he will become a known name in the game, he'll STILL be underrated by the media and fans alike, including yours truly. I think even the Detroit fans were digging Abreu more than the Philly fans do...

yea bobby smacked the shit out of the ball...lols that was a show..

defintely great to see...

amazing that for all the excitement that the Nationals have brought to DC this season, I'm surprised that they haven't been really mentioned in this thread....

they trade for Preston Wilson and pick up Mike Stanton

i'm not sure if Preston will be effective since he moves from the thin air of denver to one good pitcher's park

Hopefully Stanton will be able to warm up The Chief Cordero for the 9th inning. At least we have another lefty in the bullpen.

Hmmm.... as a Yankee fan, good luck with the "lefty."

As a Mets fan, I wish the same... Though... not really. Man... the Nats have only HELPED the other teams in the division. Preston Wilson for Zach Day! Day owned the Mets. Preston Wilson sucks! Adding Stanton to the pen!? Mwahahahahaha! Yesssssssss!

The Nationals are going to fall FLAT on their faces in the second half. Watch... According to The Pythagorean Standings, the Nationals are 8 games over where they should be. Going by runs scored/allowed, this is the NL East:

NL EAST

Atlanta
Florida
NY Mets
Washington
Philadelphia

Preston Wilson has hit .224 away from Coors this year with like 25% of his HR's and RBI's. Ha ha... another human windmill a la Richie Sexson and Adam Dunn, just a poor man's human windmill. Oh yeah, add Mike Cameron to human windmill status.

By the way, I love the sight of Mike Cameron swinging away at the high cheese at around his eyes.

There's a 4 game Yankees/Red Sox series starting tonight, it's kind of got some extra juice to it at the moment with the Yanks 2 1/2 back now. I'm praying for 3 out of 4 but something keeps ringing in my ears about a 2/2 split.

I'm curious to see where A.J. Burnett is gonna end up. I hope he gets into the AL so I get the chance to see another 9 walk no hitter. Just watch out for the car speeding by.....

I have to say I'm rooting for the Nationals too in that division. Go Livan Hernandez, I need ya baby on my fantasy team to keep racking up those wins.

Schilling...... =)

Thing is... Dunn/Sexson/Cameron are good human windmills and worth having on nearly any team. Preston Wilson... would be better suited on some farm or seomthing.

And the Braves are going to win it... again.

Braves should win I agree. Hudson is returning this Saturday.

Here's a little Preston talk:

Wilson did have 15 home runs for the Rocks, but -- and didn't you know a "but" was coming -- as with every Rockie, the home/road splits tell the ugly story. Wilson had 10 of his 15 homers at home, got 34 of his 47 RBI there and hit .281 at Coors Field, only .224 on the road. Check out what current Nat Vinny Castilla did last year at Coors and his current underwhelming stats.

But it's even worse than that. Wilson was only hitting left-handed pitching, and there's less of it in the NL East. And ask us how RFK Stadium is for hitters. Go ahead. The Nationals don't score runs, and by this point of the season we know the park can be blamed for some of this. The Park Factor index tells us that only two places are tougher to score in, San Diego and, for some odd reason, Baltimore. Jose Guillen has 18 home runs this season. Only one has come at home. His slugging percentage is .677 on the road, .350 at home.


Ok, back to me. Also, he has struck out 77 times in 267 at bats. That's 1/3.46, not a good sign if you take him away from Colorado. He wasn't even hitting that great in Coors anyway. He does sound like a bum.

n00b... it's too far in advance to tell really... you can guess, but it's not written in stone, especially with the yankees' rotation and their arms

Not even Joe Torre knows at this stage. Yanks have two guys coming off the DL, factor in the the days off, factor in shuffling of things, factor in potential deals, factor in rainouts, ............

Factor in Douche Bag errr I mean Kevin Brown coming off the DL and probably heading right back on it after about 4 innings in his first game back.

bad news at a bad time for Yanks - Wang just went on DL

it will be interesting to see how well Melky Cabrera can handle the walls at Fenway
