6/30: Open Game Thread

Seattle Mariners at New York Yankees, Jun 30, 2009 4:05 PM PDT

Joba Chamberlain

Sep 23, 1985


That picture does not help Joba in his quest to be less than 100% completely hateable.

Speaking of hateable, our lineup! The rain clouds are projected to go away, revealing Griffey in left and a Yankee order with seven lefties. Expect little.

Pinstripe Alley predicts a potential pitcher's duel. Huh.

If there were a game in this series for Griffey to start in left though, isn’t this one it? Certainly don’t want him out there with Wash or Vargas giving up most of their flyballs to left.

That's really him? No kidding?

He looks like he’d enjoy a nice flesh sandwich.

Update from Baker
Langerhans is going to see plenty of outfield duty against righthanded pitching, sort of in the role that Endy Chavez — who will have his surgery on July 9, by the way — was doing before tearing up his knee. We told you earlier that Ken Griffey Jr. was starting in left field tonight. With all of this wet grass, though, I would not be shocked to see a lineup change if the game does get played. Griffey’s knees should not be running around on this grass.

by Jeff on Jun 30, 2009 3:29 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Said this in the other thread

But the team site has Langerhans on the 40-man but not yet on the active roster. Take it for what it’s worth; maybe there’s a day’s delay for him to be activated.

Also from Baker
On to more roster news, Ryan Langerhans is here, as we told you and he’s been activated on to the 25-man roster, with Beltre hitting the DL to clear room.

Is anyone having problems with MLB.tv besides me?

On my computer, MLB.tv is telling me I’m blacked out (I’m in Australia and have never seen this error before). On my iPhone, the game is supposed to be a featured live video game, but when I try to play it, I get the Red Sox and O’s.

Is it just me?

iPhone feed still doesn’t work, but that’s only a backup anyway.

Woodward plays the ball like a moron. It richochets off his glove and into Cedeno’s bare hand. Cedeno throws out Jeter.
