PrintSo now, coming off series wins vs. Cleveland and where pitchers go to die in Arlington, we now head to Yankee Stadium, which is also a bandbox.
Now, I've had the opportunity to attend a game (not an A's game though :() in Yankee Stadium last year, as while I was visiting a friend in NYC, he had planned to go to a game with his girlfriend, but something happened and they couldn't go and he had a spare ticket. So I ended up going in her place. The both of us did, however, almost get banished from the stadium for having a smoke (not in the stands, in a secluded spot). I hate the Yankees because they buy titles, but they have a nice stadium.

Well, onto actual GOG stuff.
EDIT EDIT: Oh, and Links! Because I forgot to add them and Micdog pointed it out.
Now, on to the questions.
GOG: A's v. Yankees, (55 points possible)
1- What's the outcome of this series? (4 points)
2- Starz and Goatz. Name one non-pitching player with a positive WPA and one non-pitcher with a negative series WPA for each team. (2 points each, 8 total)
3- Another WPA question!!!!! NOT factoring in who makes Anderson's start, which starter has the best WPA in the series, Mazzaro, Braden, or Cahill? The worst? (2 points apiece, 4 total).
4- Cookie Cookie Sabathia, with his 18-5 record and 3.14 ERA, is considered one of the frontrunners for the AL CY Young award. Whether rightfully so, is another question to ask, but he plays for the Yankees, and they get this thing called run support. And he makes like 25MM this year, so he damn better not get hurt. Predict his IP, ER, H, K, and BB. Does he get win #19? (2 pts apiece, 12 points possible---Sabathia's the size of about 2.5 people so this question is worth a lot of points)
5- Mark Teixeira used to be all over the AL West, playing for both the Rangers and the slegnA. Daric Barton is the A's starting 1Bman, and in 2010, has been better than Teix. (3.5 WAR to 2.7 WAR). Who has the higher: single game WPA, BB, H, and XBH+HR (2 points apiece, 8 points possible)
'6- I like Jeff Larish. I feel like he can be a solid bat off the bench and viable 4th OF, of course, he's not really proving me right here. How many games does he start? Predict his PA and H (2 points apiece, 6 points total)
7- AJ Burnett has been very, very inconsistent. If he were on the A's he wouldn't make our starting rotation, or would barely edge out Mazzaro, with Mazzy having the edge in ERA, FIP, and xFIP, and Burnett with the edge in tERA. Predict his (Burnett's) IP, K, ER, and BB. (1 point apiece, 4 points possible)
8- So, A-Roid is not in the lineup, as he's on the DL with a bruised ego. Independent of all this, do any batters get hit? (2 points)
9- Between the two teams, how many quality starts (6 or more IP, 3 or fewer ER) are tossed? Which team has more of them? (2 points apiece, 4 total)
10 - (was supposed to be a Dale hit streak question before his hit streak ended). Name one player (can be on either team), who reaches base safely AND without making an out in the process of reaching base (so no fielders' choices), at least once in all FOUR games. (3 points) (EDIT: yes, there are 4 games in the series, Blicksfail.)

I went to a A's v. Yankees game at Yankee stadium last year
and, let me tell you, their stadium is ridiculous. They have a Hard Rock Cafe in there. A fucking Hard Rock Cafe – inside of the stadium! My friend and I asked some old lady Yankee fan what the best food to get at the stadium – we were expecting something like hot dog, garlic fries, etc. that you get at the concession stands – she tells us that they have a steak house in the stadium that is excellent. Ridiculous. Damn Yankees.
Also, we really didn’t get hassled at all for wearing green and gold in their stadium – and we sat in the bleachers just above the Yankee bullpen. Yankees fans suck.

Rogers Centre in Toronto also has a Hard Rock Cafe.
Overlooking center field, even. So is the Renaissance hotel.
You're still in the Top Ten, danmerqury!
We’re losing GOGgers, and I’m gonna be top 5 due to attrition, not by skill. And the GOGs seem to be getting bigger and bigger, so it could be a tight race down at the end. Tighter than the AL West, mosre than likely.

For question 10, there are 4 games this series
Does the player have to reach in all 4 or just 3/4?

9. Quality Starts – 3 QS (Anderson, Burnett, C.C.) / Them, 2-1 [2 points each, 4 total] 0s **

Anderson 48 (6 IP, 1 ER) -.078
Mazzaro 15 (3.2, 7 ER) -.419
Cahill 18 (4 IP, 8 ER) -.483
It is interesting that Anderson gets a QS but has a Game Score below 50, whereas Braden’s 5 innings puts him at 61, without a Quality Start.

Sabathia 82 (8 IP, 0 ER)
Burnett 54 (6 IP, 3 ER)

I've got some good news for you!
Question 2 wasn’t a highest/lowest deal, it was just pick a player who had positive WPA and one who had negative WPA for the series. So you got some more points coming your way.
Also, Larish didn’t reach base in Game 2, but it doesn’t really matter because nobody guessed him anyway.
And, finally, damn, you got these answers up quick.

A's fan from PA here
East Coast bias is definitely in effect over here, it’s either the Sillies or the Spankees on TV, and my girlfriend is a big Yankee fan, so I end up taking her to a couple games a year. The Stadium is ridiculous, they have a Mohegan Sun Sports Bar AND an Audi Sports Bar. You can get sushi, lobster tail, and as someone mentioned, they have a really nice steakhouse. Most of the lower level they have menus and a cocktail waitress. Speaking of, I’ll be there this Wednesday night to see our boy Anderson dazzle the galactic Empire with his wizardry!
