TANAKA!!!!$$$$
it was an awesome win against the division leader, the Yanks have owned Buehrle in the past, looking for Whitley & the Yanks to post win #3 against him tomorrow.
TANAKA!!!!$$$$
Remember it well. Incredible moment. However, after watching it over many times, I have to say he was safe. The tag wasn't clean, and his right foot was on the plate before he was tagged again. Ump had a bad angle.
if you look more carefully you'll see that Posada's tag/swipe starts just above Giambi's achillie's tendon and that tag continues in an upward motion, @ the 34 second mark you can clearly see the tag is on Giamibi's calf just before his foot hits the bag. the ultra slow-mo starts @ the 30 second mark, have a close look several times, you can even see the uniform move from the tag, again before his foot is down.
right on!!! Whitley got his 3rd win, high pitch count got him pulled after 5, and he walked his first batter after 33 innings
hopefully Nuno can pull off a win tomorrow, I don't have much confidence in him though.......
The Yankees did good sweeping the Blue Jays. My Orioles can't seem to quite get going on all cylinders yet but they are only one game back in the loss column to both Toronto and New York. They have had a ton of injuries too. But now except for Wieters they are healthy.
Don't sleep on the Orioles. It seems every year some super hot pitcher is rolling along and the orioles rough them up. It is Tanaka's time to get beaten down on Sunday.
Tanaka will not win Sunday. His era will rise. Davis and Cruz will bring him down to earth.
how sweet it is.......
That sucked!!!!!!!!!
Albert Pujols, one of the game’s best hitters, raved about Tanaka to Yankee bench coach Tony Pena after facing him earlier this season. “Pujols told me his splitter just disappears,” Pena recalls. “When a great hitter like that makes that kind of comment, you have done something great.”
