TONIGHT is Capuano time..... LHP - Chris Capuano, (0-2 7.36 ERA) VS. RHP - Sonny Gray, (5-2 1.77 ERA) This could get ugly tonight.
Sonny Gray pitching for Oakland, pitching on paper favors the A's. Yankees have had a lot of problems with that team since'12.
Tonight's lineup LF - Gardner 3B - Headley DH - Rodriquez C - McCann RF - Beltran 1B - Jones 2B - Drew (You're really pissing me off Joe!) CF - Young SS - Gregorius
At 1st sight, one may ask, are the A's that bad, or is Crapuano better than most think.... at 2nd sight, one may say, the A's are horrid, yet can knock off any team on any given day.....(applicable to all sports, "On Any Given Sunday")......??? The best Cappy can do, this year, is break even IF he's lucky; and remain confined to the Bullpen, IMHO........so far he's shown NO luck.....7.36 ERA, shit so impressive it blinds me.....a 2 inning reliever, no doubt in my mind..........!!! (and hell yes, I still want to be proven wrong, but don't expect a Miracle of this Proportion....... In Cappy's case, if it weren't for bad luck, he'd have none at all...........!!!
I always loved that tune, Whiter Shade of Pale, by Procol Harum, almost sounds like early Stevie Winwood, IMO.....
D, I didn't know we had Defense this year...... Yanx- 35 Errors in 48 games, only Oakland with 51 and TX with 42, have more, and both those teams suck to high hell...... Not saying our beloved Yanx suck, but they do have more than one big problem to conquer to even think of winning the AL East. They won't even see PS, if this team continues to error, as in the trend already shown.........
Rangers lost and I depressingly switch over to the Yankees to see more garbage. 11 errors this season for Headley and it's not even June. I would start giving Arod some games at third. Maybe that wakes up Chase's glove.
As much as I despise A-Roid, even more to see Him in the Lineup as anything other than the DH, makes me eat half a jumbo bottle of Tums..... 1 more reason, the Yanx should of held onto Prado, especially since the Yanx are paying Prado 3 Million $$$ of his 11 Million $$$ contract, this year, and next too.....
Prado, has been the Marlins Starting 3rd baseman, in 47 of 48 games, Prado has but and only 2 errors; this year in Miami...... 11 vs 2.......hmmm, I'd go with the latter, not meaning hindsight, but meaning Prado's Lifetime B'Avg is .290, Headley @ .265
These AL West Late games, suck, if your on the East Coast; and have to work the next morning, might as well close the bars and watch the game too......... Only difference b/t a Alcohol hangover, and a Yankee (AL West game) addict hangover, is one doesn't require Tylenol/Ibuprofen.......
BTW-Michael, have you been to the new Marlins Field, since it opened? If so, other than those gawdy chartreuse colors, how is the game atmosphere and concessions, or overall grade would you give the Marlins new park????? I know the Trop sux, in all catagories; and I 'd think the Marlins Park, is quit a helluva lot better place to catch a game in person.......Nothing, not even LA's old original Wrigley Field, (home of the then Angels AAA Minor Lg team) can ever compare as the Trops Moniker of having the worst Park/Field in ALL Sports......
