DoubleW, I need you to IM me

Houston wins!

What a surprise Scott Olsen throwing a temper tantrum and throwing crap around the dugout after being pulled out of the game. lol

He had a decent outing only gave up 1 run through 5 innings, but he ran into some trouble in the 6th after giving up a couple walks.

[nny]

He's speed is up to, averaged nearly 90 MPH on his fastball. I've been wondering if his surgery would help there, and if he's really been injured the past couple years.
--------------------
He was at 89.7 in this game. His break down last few years

05: 89.6
06: 90.9
07: 90.1
08: 87.8
09: 88

Zimmerman went yard and Dibble went crazy.

Olsen looked pretty good today

Matsui homered and the Yankee cameras showed a bunch of asian people in Yankee gear (I assume Japanese, but you never know) cheering Matsui's homer.

That's stupid for a bunch of reasons. I think I'm just going to start randomly applauding white players during showings of dominance.

That's a little different raceface!

But Asians are fuckin weird

What is stupid, the Asian people being proud of a talented Asian player and cheering for him? Or the YES network showing them cheer for him after a HR?

I guess. I mean, if I lived in Japan and Ryan Braun was mashing over there, I'd be real excited too.

[Swifty]

Well, it's stupid that they're garbed out in Yankee stuff yet rooting for Matsui because he's Asian, and it's stupid that my9 decided to show them since it's all about pride or whatever.

[Branch]

Um, he was a career Yankee until this year, I think that makes it decidedly less stupid. How do you know that they are not cheering for him because up until this year he was a Yankee, and they are wearing Yankees gear and thus like the Yankees? Maybe they enjoy seeing former Yankees continue to play well! What you are implying is pretty baseless and vaguely racist. Sure, they COULD be cheering for him simply because he is Asian... but you have no way of knowing that's definitely the only reason.
--------------------
Your argument would make way more sense if this were concerning Ichiro.

[Swifty]

Well, then that's even sillier because his homer just put your team down 1-0.

Career Yankee or not, that shouldn't be cheered.

[CrimsonCane]

Maybe they all have him on their fantasy baseball team.

[Bobbob1313]

I would guess they are tourists and they just bought Yankees gear but they like Hideki because he's the pride of a nation.
