Optimist

This is a big moment for A-Rod. If he fails, I don't even want to imagine what the boos will be like.

Okay, this inning has some potential.

Wright grand slam. I see it.

I want Joe arrested. He's murdering (?) this bullpen.

...that took so much more time than I thought it would.

This is something I think I'm going to do for the rest of the season...(and because I'm bored...)

Good for nothing Mets...

I don't think I've ever seen as many opposing fans in Fenway as I have during this series.

Like I said on Saturday, they should just end the game if this beast comes to the plate with the winning run on. Would save alot of pitchers a lot of long, sleepless nights.

This game will never end, will it? Edit: Never mind, Ortiz is at the plate.

That helps the fantasy team...

The lineup with Matsui and Sheffield was supposed to score 1000 runs, not the one playing these days.

I haven't heard anything more about it since last night. Hopefully not for long, he's been one of our team's strongest players in June. It's a problem, of course, but it's one this team has had for awhile (even last year.) This isn't the first time they've made a rookie look like Roger Clemens, and it probably isn't the last.

Not the first time a Chicago fan's hurt the home team Actually, though, it would have been a triple anyways.

Uh, not really. One of those games was pitched by an ace (Dontrelle) and the Yankees, with or without their big bats, always are pathetic against rookies.

Brad Lidge just gave up (another) grand slam in the 9th, with two outs, that tied the game at 9. Is he ever going to recover from October 2005?

I'm not surprised the Marlins are going to win this one. There's only 7000+ at the Stadium, they must feel like they're at home. Giradi brings in his closer with a 5 run lead? Wow, he really did learn a lot from Torre.

It's nice to hear Hideki is healing well. ESPN brought up August 15th as a possible return date, that's the first time I've heard a date.

Marlins' 1B takes away two runs from the Yankees...

Cano out with what appears to be a hamstring injury.

You severely underestimate my randomness.

The Yankees struggle against rookies. I would not be surprised if he did.

He had a stiff back and was scratched about 10 minutes before the game. Torre said he's probably going to play tonight.

Cano was in the day game.
