Joey Harrington is still in the NFL. Somebody will take a chance with Vick when he gets out.

It's an even 4 games back. Can't wait to go to next Thursday's game for my girlfriend's birthday. Hopefully by the end of that day we'll be in 1st place. PS- I think Seattle is part deity. They never lose.

I didn't watch it, I fell asleep. Wasn't too broken up about it either. Go Rodriguez and Pujols.

Lots of nerves by Joba, but I think he'll settle in nicely. Phil Hughes showed nerves in his first outing as well and rebounded nicely. He's got great stuff, he spotted the fastball nicely a few times on the corner with great velocity.

Nice to see those standings when I return from my vacation. It's been killer trying to get updates over in Ireland. My grandparents house is in the middle of a bog, and has a total of 8 TV channels. I had to rely on spotty teletext updates and infrequent phone calls to my girlfriend. Getting the word that we're a half game out is damn good news.

Good defensive catcher. Mussina will have to learn to work with him, or learn to play in AAA with Nieves when Karstens and Hughes are healthy. Enough of this 7 runs an outing if your ball boy isn't there.

He can do whatever he wants if he's going to hit the ball like he is. He does that weird thing where he looks at the logo of the bat to make sure it's centered as he is in his stance too.

6 innings 1 run his last time out. What are you talking about?

Wee, Sox pick up a game, you all come out of the woodwork. It's one loss. They'll deal with it. Doesn't change the fact that the Yankees are equipped for a good run down the stretch here. They'll be in the thick of things when the smoke clears. I really hate it, but Mussina can't have Posada catching him. He is ass terrible without his personal ball boy Nieves. Just take 2 tomorrow and make up for this, that's all.

7 back.

That's cute, but you already did when you bought Matsuzaka, Drew, Lugo, et al. You didn't get Ramirez because of your team's character, you got him because you gave him $189 million. If your rationalization of the underdog helps you sleep at night, whatever. But don't go talking about the romanticism of the gritty underdog, because the Red Sox do not qualify in the least. At some point you're going to have to accept that you support a big market team, that builds on talent and production and not hustle and grit. If you want to be in on a real team fighting for respect and recognition, you should have started rooting for the Tigers or Brewers a few years ago, or start supporting the Devil Rays or Pirates now. Otherwise, quit the storybook crap and live in the real world here. You support the team that ranks 2nd of 30 in payroll, and is one of the top markets in baseball. The Red Sox will always be buying the best talent they can to fill whatever hole they have, end of story. If there is a hole at third base, you bet your ass they'll take a run at the best player in the game who plays that positon.

8 games out.

Was that Cano hitting for Matsui?

Janssen, not Accardo. Hey, better than letting him hit #33. As Matsui JUST misses the walkoff shot.

Pressure got to Accardo there. That and his Rivera like ability to hold runners in the 9th.

Bruney comes in an inning too late.

I would have put anybody else in there before Farnsworth, I know Torre is stupid for this. However, the guy has retired the side in order once in 16 appearances. He is ass f***ing terrible, and it isn't for a lack of stuff. He throws it 98. Instead of taking something off the fastball and locating, he tries to throw it 102. He then misses his spot horribly, and gets hit hard, or walks guys. He needs to be DFA'd, traded, whatever. He should not be pitching for the Yankees, especially in the 8th inning of a tie game.

I f***ing hate Farnsworth. He brings absolutely nothing to the table. He's a stupid f***ing meathead.

3 of 4 and 9 back in the east. Just keep winning series and keep making up ground.

The Yankees don't want A-Rod to opt out so Texas will still be on the hook for a bunch of his deal. Boras is a prick, but I think A-Rod stays here. Nobody outside of NY will pay $30 million, so the Yankees won't bid against themselves, I hope.

As long as Jeter is in New York, this is Jeter's team. Jeter is the face of the Yankees, and will be as long as he's playing.

I was right. Vladdy did win. I didn't watch. Chris Berman is annoying.

Rios is 7th in the AL in homers, and was a great pickup for my girlfriend's fantasy team. Vladdy will win, but I don't think I'll watch it. I can't stand Chris Berman.

I get it, but to completely dismiss the possibility as if I were predicting a 3 game sweep by 5 runs or more each game seems out of line. It's baseball, the Yankees can take 2 of 3 just as easily as the Angels can. We're throwing Pettitte, Clemens and Wang in this series. There is no reason they can't perform well enough to steal 2 wins. (Also, the Yankees always hit Colon, and Santana is sporting a 5.35 ERA. It's really not that hard to believe.)
