[frogjerk]

WOW!

[NYCVirago]

Pretty incredible! What's the record for RBIs in a game?

[fhayek]

Yeah, I'm watching it. He's really spanking the ball tonight.

[DumpsterDiver]

I love grand slams! Wish I had seen it.

Dimitri Young did the same thing in the Detroit home opener.

[frogjerk]

His Grand Slam seemed like a foregone conclusion the way he was swinging the bat. He seems so confident tonight.

[frogjerk]

9 RBIs by the 4th inning?

[frogjerk]

NL two tied

Jim Bottomley St. Louis 12 on 09-16-1924
"Wiffin" Mark Whiten St. Louis 12 on 09-07-1993

[cripplecreek]

3 grand slams in one game but I don't think there were that many runs batted in but that has nothing to do with the individual batter. The score was like 12-3 or something against KC.

If we could lose the intentional walk we could really see who can hit.

Who the hell pays $80 for MLB.TV???

Who the hell pays $80 for MLB.TV???

What is MLB.TV?

[AmishDude]

Watch baseball games online.

[frogjerk]

I just read up on it. I wouldn't pay that much for it.

[Neets]

!!!!!!!!!!!

All A-Rod needs is a solo homer to complete the homerun cycle?

[Clemenza]

Good for Alex. The Yank-offs will still choke and may not even make the playoffs this season.

[frogjerk]

Yanks will win it all.

[Clemenza]

Dream on. They and their GHETTO stadium will NOT be seeing any post season action. ;-)

[AmishDude]

No kidding! It reminds me of all of the "premier passes" that the talk show hosts have. I mean, Limbaugh can charge $60 a year, but others are losing money charging so much. Charge a little less and more people will buy it.

[frogjerk]

They and their GHETTO stadium

What the hell do you mean by that?

[Clemenza]

Yankee Stadium is a run down, raunchy hellhole in the middle of the ghetto. The best thing about it is the view of the Courthouse from behind home plate.

[DumpsterDiver]

All A-Rod needs is a solo homer to complete the homerun cycle?

You got me. I have no idea. :)

[bigsigh]

what is the home run cycle?

[Doohickey]

Is that even a stat?

[frogjerk]

Yankee Stadium is a run down, raunchy hellhole in the middle of the ghetto. The best thing about it is the view of the Courthouse from behind home plate.

Yankee Stadium has more history and tradition than any other place in baseball bar none. Secondly, Yankee Statium is not a hell hole. When was the last time you were there?

[AmishDude]

Presumably, the homerun cycle is 4 homeruns, one of each type: solo, 2-run, 3-run, grand slam.

[frogjerk]

Is that even a stat?

I don't think so, but they just may need to create one now :)

[Clemenza]

Last may. It is filthy and has never quite recovered from that A-s ugly makeover from back in the 1970s.

Want an old stadium with class, go to Wrigley. Want a modern stadium with good food and better sightlines no matter where you sit, go to Safeco.

[pissant]

steroids!

[Chi-townChief]

First time I've heard that one.

[Senator Pardek]

I'd say he has 3 more shots at this point - could happen...

[Senator Pardek]

Has that ever happened?

[AmishDude]

4 home runs in one game

[NYCVirago]

Good for Alex. The Yank-offs will still choke and may not even make the playoffs this season.

Why don't you just come up with a macro of your usual screed to save time, since you post it in every single Yankees thread. Besides, you forgot to call A-Rod gay, the way you usually refer to him and Jeter.

[NYCVirago]

Thanks for the statistical info!

[cripplecreek]

I like history in a park. Tiger stadium was great and I didn't think I would like Comerica park but my wife and I went there last season and were amazed at how nice that place was. Still I hated to lose the history of Tiger stadium.

[Neets]

It could..I can't miss another game.

I keeping telling the Doubting Thomas', it's only the beginning of the season.

[kidd]

Has anyone ever hit a home-run cycle?

4 home-runs is rare
the cycle is rare
A home-run cycle would be very rare.

It is not filthy. Definitely not any more filthy after a game than Wrigley or Fenway.

Want an old stadium with class, go to Wrigley. Want a modern stadium with good food and better sightlines no matter where you sit, go to Safeco.

I've been to Wrigley quite a few time and it is a great place, especially for its age. I've never been to Safeco. I'm going to Kaufman Stadium this year in Kansas City.

I've been to quite a few ballparks and there is nothing quite like the atmosphere of Yankee Stadium, especially during the playoffs. No ballpark rivals its history or tradition. This is why it is called baseball's "Cathedral".

Anyway, A-Rod is up.

[Senator Pardek]

10 RBIs.

[frogjerk]

Another RBI on a 2 strike single...10 RBIs

[Neets]

Rockin n' Reelin.

[AmishDude]

Looking at the box scores of these games: Only Rocky Colavito had 4 at-bats. Most had 6. Only Gil Hodges and Shawn Green had more than 4 hits in the game. Green went 6-for-6. Mark Whiten had 12 RBI in his game.

History is important. The loss of Tiger Stadium for that very reason was a shame.

[AmishDude]

Whiten is the only one who could have done it, nobody else had 4HR and at least 10RBI.

And Whiten had four homers in that game, correct?

[AmishDude]

Except Shawn Green, but I don't think he did, either.

[frogjerk]

I do not think so.
