What kills me is we are 22-13 with 11 people spending time on the DL. What is this team going to be like if/when they are healthy?!

I cannot wait for Storen to get back. Another melt down last night would have been brutal...

[Tulane Skins Fan]

I think most people thought we would contend this year. But it's all relative. I don't think anyone expected (and some still probably don't expect) that we would compete for first place...possibly wild card spot. I think finishing 1 game below .500 last year, and about 10-15 games away from a wild card spot isn't too unheard of. We signed 2 starting pitchers and have Strasburg back.

The team expects to win every game, and the fans should too. I think fan criticism is warranted around slumps that Espinosa went through, and that HRod has gone through of late. However, Davey seems to have been right about Espinosa as he has played better. I am sure he will continue working with HRod and giving him opportunities, too.

We just need to get through these next 2 months and get our guys healthy again so we can hold first place in the division :P

I didn't mean to sound critical of anyone, I just find it somewhat interesting. Think back to people praising guys like Livan Hernandez, Dmitri Young, Nick Johnson, Cristian Guzman... these guys were all sub-par players, but they were probably the best we had in certain years. Now we have a guy H-Rod with tremendous ability, far superior ability to those guys, and he's getting crushed by everyone after two bad outings. Its just sorta funny to me.

Good find. I was trying to see about ordering a jersey, but it looks like the only size they have available is 3XL. Is anyone else having this same problem?

edit: For a customized replica home jersey.

anybody have a link to where i can watch (or really just listen) to the game online. unless, of course, jfk is actually putting the games in their internet feed, unlike in recent years. (drives me nuts, btw, what the heck is up with that?)

[BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93]

quick question guys (I mean no harm)...I'm trying to take my girlfriend to the yankee-nats game in june and I'm looking on stubhub for tix. I notice that in section 108 that there are single lettered rows and double-lettered rows. Am i correct to assume that the double lettered rows are further back than single lettered ones? i.e. row KK is way farther back than row K?

[ffxdrummer]

You are correct. If you are on Stubhub, zoom in on the stadium map and it will show you the rows so you can see.

I don't have one, but I second that it's stupid they don't stream the game audio through 106.7.

No one has any audio or video streams?

This is probably because MLB blocks it. If they streamed through their website, then MLB would have no control over forcing people to purchase the MLB Gameday Audio.

Stras is off to a tough start, doesn't look real happy out there. Hopefully he can settle down in the 2nd inning

thanks man

Stras struggling early. I guess he's due a bad game...

Grrrr....Grrrr...he's horrible. Get him out of here. WTF?? Did you see all of those BBs he gave up? He shouldn't be pitching in the MLB with that kind of crap! WTF???? Send him to the minors to get straightened out!

Oh, wait...That's not HRod out there. It's Stras. Disregard everything I just said.

It's okay he's having a bad game....

Harps yard again.
