POINTSHAVERS.COM 09/05/08 - After taking care of business in Tampa this week, the New York Yankees appear to be in a great position to make their run at the 2008 Postseason. If you are a New York Yankees fan, you've got to be encouraged by large number of runs that the Yankees are manufacturing against some pretty decent pitching.
The Yankees destroyed Justin Verlander and the Tigers with 11 runs in 3 innings of play. Next, they traveled to Tropicanna Field and took two out of three from the AL East leading Rays including two convincing wins in Games 1 and 2 where the Yankees outscored the Rays by a total count of 15-6; and, a rally at the top of the ninth in Game 3 where the Yankees scored 5 unanswered runs to almost come back from a 7-0 deficit at the top of the ninth. The Yankees lost that game to the Rays yesterday by a final score of 7-5.
Today, the New York Yankees will face a Mariners team that they have absolutely dominated this year. They have a perfect record of 6-0 against the Mariners; and they have outscored the Mariners by a total score of 50 to 17 in those six games played.
If the Mariners were sending a left hander to the mound, I'd probably give them an outside chance of getting lucky with a win today...but not only are the Mariners sending a right hander to throw to the Yankees...they are sending a right hander that's making his first major league start.
Seattle Mariners RHP Brandon Morrow will be making his first start against a batting lineup that hits right handers well and is just starting to get hot right now.
On the other hand, the Yankees will be sending left hander Andy Petite (1-0 W-L vs Seattle w/ 3.00 ERA) who has given the Mariners trouble in the past.
In addition, the Mariners have not been exactly "lighting it up" lately. Seattle has not scored in over 10 consecutive innings played. They failed to score a run against Dustin Nippert (1-4 W-L, 6.59 ERA) and the Rangers bullpen yesterday in a 1-0 defeat at Arlington BallPark (boooo!).
Not only do the Yankees have the pitching advantage; but, they also have momentum on their side. A win today would make it seven straight victories over the Seattle Mariners and would also keep them close to the Rays and the Red Sox who both have tougher matchups today.
Take New York Yankees -1.5 (-105) vs Seattle Mariners
Unraveling the Enigma of Matter Waves
In the quest to understand the fundamental nature of our universe, the concept of matter waves stands as a cornerstone of quantum mechanics. This article delves into the historical experiments that sought to measure the elusive properties of electrons, and the philosophical and scientific implications of those findings. We'll explore the intricacies of Robert Millikan's oil drop experiment, the charge-to-mass ratio, and the broader context of mass-energy equivalence in the realm of subatomic particles.
Does The Atom Really Exist?
According to recorded history, the atom concept was developed by the ancient Greeks and the mathematician Democritus. The Greeks are credited with the discovery of the atom and the atom concept. Essentially, an atom is an indivisible component of matter. Or ... it can be thought of as matter in its simplest form. Since it is a component of matter ... you would naturally think that it has mass. This is logical and intelligent reasoning.
Who or What Created The Universe?
I would like to thank Kristen Herde for her contribution to this post...I was going to respond to your two earlier questions regarding the Big Bang. I don't subscribe to the theory ... I have a different one...it's a little bit ahead of it's time .. so people probably won't take it seriously until years later. As far as the zones of infinite density and how did they get there ... they got there using an extrapolation technique (if that makes sense)... Scientists / Mathematicians just extrapolated backwards and figured that all the matter in the universe may have come from one point. They have no idea where it came from.
