  1. Nice 2nd inning with 2 k's by Lester.
  2. Theuuuhhhh Yankeees Loooose!!! Thuhhhhhhhh Yankees Looooose!!!!
  3. Pop single into the Bermuda Triangle in LF
  4. Two run double by Beltre in the first inning. No one out yet.
  5. No one is a better color commentator than jerry Remy. He showed Manny throwing the bat back towards the ump. He summarized the situation and concluded that Manny was lucky to still be in the game. Then he let it go. Informative without overkilling the issue.
  6. Walking Loretta before Ortiz and manny must make a pitcher want to put a gun in his mouth.
  7. He was on the thershhold of becoming a star when he hurt his elbow. He had surgery. I'm not sure if it was Tommy John surgery. The next ST he showed up and couldn't straighten his arm. He rehabbed, but I don't think he could ever straighten his arm, and I don't think he played again.
  8. A Baker's Dozen for the Jays.
  9. I agree.
  10. Why so Huffy today? IMO unless Trot continues his slump through the end of the year or unless the Red Sox have bad medical data about his back, they should consider re-signing him. In addition to what he does on the field, his leadership in the Clubhouse is underrated. Everyone loves Ortiz in the Clubhouse and everyone respects Trot. He brings a certain professional atmosphere to the clubhouse that is needed for a team to be a winner.
  11. ARod is 0-4 so far.
  12. As a platoon player, he would get the majority of the ABs.
  13. Hmmm. I didn't think of that. Who knows?
  14. He knocked one off the wall in St. Louis with the bases jammed in the 2004 WS. That is only a year and a half ago.
  15. I don't think a final decision on Trot can be made until the end of the year. You don't make a decision whether or not to re-sign a guy based on 1 or 2 months.
  16. Who is trying to be funny. That's just what I've decided to call him, when he is stinking out the joint.
  17. Ricky Riccardo doesn't look like much of a pickup for the Blue Jays. You aren't too good if Nick Greene can take you to the wall.
  18. If they want to use him as bait, they should be showcasing him.
  19. In 1972, Yaz did not hit his first homer until July 2nd. His average was around .300 at the time. During the pennant run in September, he hit 7 or 8 homers. These power outages can happen. Yaz went on to play another 11 years, and he was an All Star several times.
  20. For years it has bothered me when announcers would comment about Joe Torre that he was such a settling influence on the bench, how he didn't panic, how you can't tell by looking at him if his team is up by 10 or down by 10. I always felt that was media hype and BS. Sure it was easy for him to remain even-keeled. His teams were always stacked and he was always in first place. During the Blue Jays' 3rd inning today, they showed a picture of the Yankee bench. Torre was looking so dejected with is hat on the back of his head. I really didn't need to know the score to know that the Yankees were losing badly. He looked like he had a big steaming pile of s*** under his nose. Oh wait... he did. Sidney Ponson. Between the blubbering crying jags and his dejected demeanor on the bench the last couple of years, I really don't think Torre is such a calming influence.
  21. This could be a 5 hour game with 30 runs scored. Edit: The YES announcers are wondering whether Ponson's visa problems had any effect on his performance. They really reach for excuses.
  22. Al Leiter always seems to be making excuses for Yankee players. In the case of Ponson, there are no excuses. He's fat and he sucks. Edit: and he's gone after 2 1/3 innings. Go hit the buffet, Sidney.
  23. I am so glad the Yankees are giving Sidney a chance. BTW: The Yankee pitchers have lucked out that they are facing a team with no Rios and no Hillenbrand. Edit: What is Bubba waiting for on that ball hit by Overbay? It was up there for a long time.
  24. He must like Kapler's fielding in the spaceous ballpark.
