We all know that the Phillies are the baseball team out of Philadelphia, but what exactly is a Philly. Is it saying, we are the Philadelphia Philadelphians? We all know that it is the longest, continuos name in American sports history, but what does it mean? There is the Philly Phanatic, but they are not the Phanatics, they are the Phillies. Thanks, and...Aaron Rowand = Golden Glove '07?

Has there ever been a time that this has happened? Say a starting pitcher had a bad night and they had to go to the bullpen early, and went through the relief, only to have their closer give up enough runs to tie the game. What would happen if that game was tied 15-16 innings and all you had available was a closing pitcher??? What if he got hurt or just couldn't pitch more than 3 innings?

When it's clear that they don't give respect back to others? Can't they accept the fact that there are other teams that have other fans?

Instead here they are giving thumbs down to every other fan, even when there not talking about the Yankees.

And i'm also betting over 60% of "Yankee Fans" are bandwagon people.

I'd like to appreciate the Yankees, but the way the fans are so rude... I don't think anyone is going to.

Peopla also say that Baseball has no respect, but EVERY sport has respect for one another.

If it's a situational thing (the Yankees win the WS) give your reasons and such.

You know when a long time player for a certain team plays one last year for a new team and they just don't look right in the uniform because they are identified with their old one? Who is you favorite example of this? Mine is when Harmon Killebrew played for the Royals for a year before retiring... man, he looked weird in a Royals uniform!

The year Reggie Jackson played for the Orioles was weird too...

With numbers like this, he is projected at over 100 HR's this season. He can't possibly keep this pace up... can he? Let me know your thoughts on this amazing start to the season, if he can keep it up, and if not, when you think he will begin to slump. Also list what records, if any, he will break this season.

Yankee Doubters Are Already Coming From Within
Posted Apr 23rd 2007 2:03PM by PostmanE

With the exception of Alex Rodriguez's early form, it's been a tough start of the season for the New York Yankees.

The starting staff is devastated with injuries, longtime captain Derek Jeter has been slumping at the plate and leads the league in errors, and the Yankees were just swept by the Red Sox in a three-game series, the first such sweep since 1990.

And guess what? Fans aren't the only ones doubting the Yanks early on. Players inside the organization are hopping on, too:
The scouting report sounded more like a complaint, which it wasn't. Not really. The Yankee veteran was simply stating a fact, an obvious one after getting swept at Fenway, about why the Bomber golden era could be in jeopardy.

"What we have right now, I'm not sure it's enough," is what the veteran was saying before Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Sox, which again exposed every Yankee flaw: inferior starting pitching, an untrustworthy bullpen and a reliance on Alex Rodriguez that will soon (or maybe has) run dry.

...And here's one more curiosity that was vocalized Sunday night, as everyone was answering questions about Matsuzaka, his killer change-up, and the urban legend of his gyro-ball.

"You know what I'm wondering? I want to know why he's not here," said another Yankee veteran. The question was a not-so-subtle jab at the mere $33 million the Yankee bid on the Japanese star last winter.

First pitcher pitches 3 innings and gives up 9 runs. The score is 9-2 when he leaves the game.
Second pitcher gives up 5 more runs in the 4th inning and zero in the fifth and sixth, meanwhile, his team scored 7 times in the 5th inning. Making the final score 14-9.
I heard a parent (of 1st pitcher) say that since his kid was taken out after giving up 9 runs, he is not the losing pitcher since his team scored 9 runs.
I say, if you are the pitcher of record and your team is losing when you are replaced, you always get the loss unless your team ties up the game at some point or takes the lead.
