I like the start.

All I can say is, roll out the kids against the Braves and save the horses for NY. The Braves are anywhere from 3-4 wins over their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd order Pythagenport records. In other words, about 10% of the games they've played have resulted in wins that should have been losses. The Yankees are a sleeping giant. Use the horses in NY.

The Clemens2.50 projection of that line at A+ ball, using equivalents, is, for the remaining 2/3 of the season: 201.2 IP, -4 ER, 754 K, 1 BB, "the empty set" ERA Seriously.

Keep trying.

Win. http://img372.imageshack.us/img372/1881/doitgif4hr.gif Do it. Do it. Hey, it's not Rocky, but he sounds like him.

Eh, I was thinking more along the lines of the next half inning, but I'll take it.

Great game for Hinske.

Very intelligent IF single. Brilliant.

That's pretty impressive. He had nothing tonight, but he gritted out a QS.

People need to get on, because you know Hinske's ordering up some jack after that.

And, he also the reason we aren't losing in strikeouts. That's important.

Un-be-f***ing-lievable. Wow.

It's good thing Coco didn't strikeout there. That way, while we may be losing in terms of runs, at least we aren't losing in terms of strikeouts, and everyone knows how important that is. Good job Coco.

I've got to say, for Curt not having it, I'll take the results thus far. It could be far worse. Tito should check the weather and empty the 'pen if need be to get this one, because I'm not sure if they get the game in tomorrow.

Who would have thought Tavarez would give us the good performance today? Oh, and I'm here, but TW101 makes the GT's annoying.

Jeemer. Dye hits a bomb off Desalvo, 3-0.

JT sacked up huge today. First game of a DH and he goes 7 strong only giving up 1. It wasn't pretty, but it's in the books. Thanks, Freddy.

From the chatter I've heard on the radio it sounds like Nash and crew were gassed from playing extreme minutes. I can't fault Mike D for keeping his horses in when they were playing short. Like I said, I didn't see it, West Coast sports aren't an option when the alarm goes off at 4:00 am, but I can see how perimeter D breaks down late when the outside guys have to carry the load for 45:00. Just a thought.

I didn't see the game, so I can't comment on impact, but I have a hard time believing that taking away the inside presense didn't matter in a 3 point game.

A guy, a lawyer to boot, called in to a radio program down here with a really good point. Just because their action violated the written letter of the rule does not mean the commissioner's hands were tied and he had to suspend them. A rule is a rule, just like a law is a law, but we see judges challenge laws every day if it is a bad law. The judge, or commissioner, is to look at the intent of the law, or rule, and determine why it was written and then apply that to the case. The intent of this rule was to prevent an escalation of a physical altercation. No escalation happened, so, in essence, they didn't violate the intent of the rule, which means the rule is a bad rule because it doesn't allow for cases were the intent is followed. He went on to add that a big component of judges' decisions is the condition of absurdity. If the outcome of a law results in punishing the intial victim and rewarding the initial violator, then the law should not be applied. So, in this case, the perpetrator of the initial violence, the Spurs, were given the advantage over the victim in the application of justice. This fails the absurdity test. And, as we now know, that advantage was a difference maker. Bad rule. Bad commissioner. Stern is a joke. Go Suns.

It won't be Matsuzaka on Wednesday. He's throwing Saturday, so his 4 days of rest are Sun-Wed. So, best case scenario, it's Beckett, Schilling, Tavarez/Gabbard. Worst case is Spot Starter #2, Schilling, Tavarez/Gabbard.

The only time I like the Hawk is when the ChiSox play the Yanks.
