The Orioles bullpen provided no relief against the Rangers in Arlington last night:Baltimore OriolesPitchersIP H RERBBSOHRPC-STERAM Hendrickson (L, 1-1)3.279242195-533.00R Liz1.054411136-2336.00B Bass2.032212047-2514.73M Albers1.144412033-1711.2536.00. 14.73. 11.25. Those are not dollar amounts, instead those are the respective ERAs of Radhamez Liz, Brian Bass, and Matt Albers. Yeah, the Ballpark in Arlington is officially hell for pitchers.10 ER in 4.1 innings for the Orioles bullpen tonight...that's enough to make Dave Trembley pull his hair out.P.S: Nick Swisher could have done better.

Video: Nick Swisher Pitches Bottom of 8th for Hapless Yankees
The Rays pounded six different kinds of dog-crap out of the Yankees Monday, amassing 15 runs off Chien Ming-Wang and the rest of the Pinstripers’ regular pitchers, and forcing them to send position player Nick Swisher to the mound for an inning of pen-sparing work. Swisher allowed only 1 hit, 1 walk and no runs [...]

Yankees 7 Rays 2: Geez, this Nick Swisher character sure is something. The other day, he hits a bomb and pitches a scoreless inning in the same game. Yowza! Who does he think he is? Gordie Lockbaum? Then last night, he hit a solo home run and a double. En flambe!

Nick Swisher Pitching for the Yankees? Video
Nick Swisher Pitching for the Yankees? Video. Yes, this did happen. During last nights whooping at the hands of the Tampa Bay Rays, Nick struck out Gabe Kapler in the 8th, and it was cool. The reason it is so cool is that Nick Swisher is a likable guy. He is a Yankee and he [...]
Nick Swisher is Not Scott Brosius

Nick Swisher is the 2009 version of the 1998 version of Scott Brosius. Didn't you know that? I'm not sure what the hell sparked this, maybe the moronic Michael Kay who was the first person I heard utter this comparison, but now I'm hearing it left and right. Maybe Nick Swisher can be Scott Brosius. Why are they comparing them? Because they both hit in the low .200s...

Nick Swisher is becoming the Yankees' Brett Favre

April 14, 2009
We've read and heard a lot of things about Nick Swisher so far, like how he is always smiling and having fun out there, how he's goofy and likes to play loud music, and how he has brought life and enthusiasm to the clubhouse.
Sound familiar? Swisher doesn't model Wranglers and he isn't a "gunslinger," but he's quickly becoming the new Brett Favre...

During the 7th inning, fans at the new Yankee Stadium started chanting, "We Want Swisher" in reference to Yankees OF Nick Swisher, who pitched an inning against the Devil Rays earlier in the week when the Yankees were getting blown out. Yup, that just about sums up the Yankee bullpen.New York YankeesPitchersIP H RERBBSOHRPC-STERAC Sabathia5.2511540122-703.57E Ramirez0.01000006...

It's been a while since we've had a lookalike here at tonyblogs.net and this one comes courtesy of friend and sports historian Bill Lawrence. It's Nick Swisher of the New York Yankees and Richard Grieco of a bunch of "B" level movies, most notably If Looks Could Kill.
I'm also working on an Evan Longoria-Freddie Prinze lookalike, which was recommended...

I was so disgusted with last night's Yankee game that I didn't make it through the whole thing. They were down 8-0 before I even blinked. It didn't help that I had a monster headache, had puked earlier in the day, and because 24 was on either. I flipped back and forth during commercials and it never got any better. The headache knocked me out before the game was over. As I was...

Nick Swisher for MVP!
After last night, Yankees fans everywhere came to one conclusion there is nothing super utility man Nick Swisher can't do!Swisher leads the team in average, HR, RBI, OBP, runs scored, and is tied for the lead in walks.Did I mention, he also leads the team in ERA (0.00) and has as many strike outs as Chien Ming Wang has all season?With all the fuss made about the "big name" free...

Yeah, I got nowhere yesterday with Verizon. Apparently the local affiliate who carries the MY9 feed stopped providing their signal to FIOS. Needless to say I'm not happy. Basically, I'm out every game that's not carried on YES, ESPN, FOX, TBS, or the MLB Network. So as of now, it looks like I'll miss my fair share of games. Hopefully they're not all games...

Former Yankees ace Chien Ming Wang hasn’t looked himself since recovering from his foot injury. After getting shelled early and taxing the pen in a 15-5 blowout, Joe Girardi gave the ball to Yankee spark-plug Nick Swisher, turning what would have otherwise been a miserable game into a hilarious spectacle.

Burnett flirts with no-no, saves bullpen (Postgame Notes, 14 April 2009)
Seven out of the eight innings he pitched, AJ Burnett simply dazzled. Every pitch he threw seemed to work and, in a refreshing change of pace from last night, Yankee pitching owned this game.Six of those innings came consecutively, from the first to the end of the sixth.In the seventh, however, perhaps jinxed by broadcasters who no longer respect the tradition of superstition in...
