If you would listen to Sterling every game for a month you would change your opinion.
I could see how that could get irritating. I think he's fine in controlled doses, though, screwy calls and all.
BroadwayBomber55
05-03-06, 09:04 PM
Come on A-Rod, cut down your swing, base hit to center or right.
Just got back from watching LOST. Yeah.
heck, even a ground ball scores a run
PLEASE DO NOT STRIKE OUT, ALEX

JeterRodriguezSheff
05-03-06, 09:04 PM
so basically it was the effect of a bunt...A-rod with the chance to win it
I bet they walk A-rod.....interesting dilemna, as Matsui has swung the bat well.
Are we gonna win?
Damn straight:)
wow JFR is gonna win us a ballgame
Shift That.
ARod is gonna come through right here.

Whew! As good as a SAC.
Come on, A-Rod. Just get it into the outfield.
It is HIGH! it is FAR! It is Popped up TO VARITEK!!! (annoying, strangely endearing)
like sterls, but was kind of annoying watching him with the video on mlb.tv because it didn't allow me to use my imagination and his call let me down a little....
giambi "sac bunt" swinging ground ball to second...good stuff

Base hit here Alex for Mo breathing room. Or a deep flyball to the outfield can suffice...

Good GT guys, I had to leave early for my going away dinner, heading back to Colorado. Nice win for the Yanks!

Luck just for you the rest of the evening John... cause it's your day. Forget the past. Happy B-Day.
:scared: Meant it when I said it John. :D Just hope this game isn't the one that comes back and bites me on the @ss at the end of the season! :eek:
Glad you got to see your team win on your birthday.
