2012 Mark Teixeira Performance Thread

[madjack]

He's hittingn 6th tonight. So our long national nightmare is over.

Well Swisher is hitting 5th, so we may be all over that thread tomorrow.

I'm late to this party, but it is a peeve of mine when a forumer posts their point of view on a public forum for public consumption, receives a response that strongly disagrees, and pulls the "so I'm not allowed to post about...?" card.

I agree, however I don't see any reason to bring religion into it.

Not sure if you're referring to me here (although point of Jew may be the giveaway), but I am only guilty of the last point you posted.

I @&$)!?$ hate spell check and fat fingers. Swear that should be point of view.

And no, the peeve comment was not directed at you Sey.

"Point of Jew" is awesome.

everyone get your opinions about mark teixeira for tonight's game in right now or else your opinions will be deemed hindsight and thus rendered useless!

For next year, we need a 2013 pregame predictions thread.

I think he would look great in a wizard hat.

"Are you mocking me?"

Anyway, yeah-- there's been plenty of time to bitch about the lineup. You know, before we see what happens during the game.

[awy]

he'll go 5 for 4 with 6 homeruns.

nice momentum for Tex going into the postseason. His last at bat the bases were loaded with 1 out, instead of grounding into a double play he actually got the ball into the OF for a sac fly. Momentum Builder.

There you go.

I'm better with Tex in the 6th hole...though I would still move Grandy up into the six slot against right handers, and get Tex down the 7th hole, but I'll take what I can get as long as he's out of the three/four/five.

[snapple]

He needs to come big. Orioles or Texas...oof. I'm kind of hoping it's Texas. Their pitching has been feast or famine.

On this, Snapple, you and I agree. Tex needs to put up serious production in this series. Showalter is not going to pitch to Cano...I can guarantee it and Tex will get a chance see those two lefties in the pen late.

It's time to step up and be a key factor in the postseason. Today will be his 32nd post season game in his career. No more small sample size and whatever else talk. I don't want hear any more excuses.

Hit the ball.

[snapple]

Hit the ball.

Agreed.

[THEBOSS84]

Agreed.

Can't wait to see you defend his outs.

[snapple]

Tex is either going to hit this series respectably well or he's going to go down a very dark path with Yankee fans.

People are out of patience. I think even his biggest defenders expect a significant contribution this year, or the whole 'small sample size' thing goes right out the window.

In an article in the Daily News yesterday, Tex acknowledged how bad he's been for the Yanks in the playoffs, but in typical Tex fashion, he had to throw in that he has hit "big home runs" in the playoffs.

Yeah, he did the same thing on boomer and carton the other day. Carton asked him about his postseason struggles and he said he doesn't worry about his stats in the postseason and that he has had some big hits.

Arod said some similar things too on francesa the other day, talking about how michael jordan would pass the ball to kerr if he was hot and how they have to 'get the ball to robbie'.

It's such utter nonsense that it's not even worth analyzing, but arod should know this isn't basketball and Tex should know that the way to win is to produce.

[Young Steinbrenner]

I like Tex in the 6 spot

no pressure......whatever offense he gives us is gravy
