    I find it amusing that the Prima Dona is so celebrated for the "Flip" and the 2004 catch against the Red Sox. How do these catches stand up against the Willie Mays or Ron Swoboda catches? Those catches were part of World Championships. Neither of Jeter's catches were part of World Series, and in 2004 the Sox won it all for the first time in 86 years, so what is all the hub bub about. Yankee fans and the media have to put this guy and his accomplishments in some perspective. His two plays are just not "all that," and they don't deserve to stand the test of time like Mays' and Swoboda's catch.

    In the history of the game no one other than a few cheaters have hit more than 61. If he gets 62, he should be considered the recordholder.

    The highest paid player in the game and the acknowledged best SS should be playing SS and the Prima Dona should be playing 2B. 3B is a more natural position for Cano. This would make the Yankees very strong up the middle. Riv you can give me all the lame excuses why they don't do this, but don't bother because I am glad that they don't. Let the Diva stay at SS and Cano at 2B with their two-step range in either direction and let the hit parade up the middle continue.

    The dif between Lowe and Wang is that Lowe has a rubber arm. He never had a sore arm. Wang has already had shoulder problems.

    Maybe they schedule an earlier start.

    Let's not forget that the A's lineup blows. No Chavez. No Thomas and the #7 hitter hasn't hit a HR in a couple of years. BTW Unit blows too. He's shot and by August he'll be a BP pitcher.

    I hate when the weathermen say that "we need the rain." f*** that, what am I a farmer. I need baseball. This weekend blows.

    Chacon's Leiter-esque high pitch counts will eventually wear down the Yankee pen. He rarely can get past the 6th, even in his wins, because of his pitch count. Wang had a really great game against an Oakland lineup without Chavez and Frank Thomas, Bobby Crosby was batting 5th. It was a god awful lineup fielded by the A's that game. Wang is an average starter, nothing more than a number 4 or 5 guy.

    It was a bad miscalculation by the FO not re-signing Pedro. He was an All-Star last year and is well on his way to being an All-Star this year. I think the Sox should have refused to re-sign him only if they knew his arm was shot at the end of 2004, and that clearly was not the case. Basically, they made some kind of bet that there was an expiration date on his arm, and they let the greatest pitcher that anyone has ever seen walk away. I still get steamed when I think about it.

    Pedro is the greatest pitcher of the last 40 years. He will be given a hero's welcome. Let's not forget that when Koufax ran off his string of years that Marichal and Drysdale were also winning 25 games in some of those years. Marichal won 25 or more games 3 times in the 60's and never won the Cy Young Award.

    Texas comes back to Boston in June.

    Maybe his results have not been good because the Marlins blow. They are very young and not very solid defensively.

    The Yanks are not getting any big name star to help them. You need Sheffield back, and you still have plenty of offense. BAsically, they got f***ed with the Matsui injury. Their FO will not be able to compensate for that loss. Forget Clemens. Hope for Pavano and Dotel.

    Has anyone heard if they might play 2 on Sunday if they get washed out today?
  15. a700hitter
    How's the weather in Boston for tonight's game. Last night was a travesty.
  16. a700hitter
    Let's get Willis!
  17. a700hitter
    Instead he s*** all over the Yankees.
  18. a700hitter
    That piece of crap just raked Mo I can't believe it.
  19. a700hitter
    Okay, Papelbon gets out of it.
  20. a700hitter
    I don't agree with this move. We've been burned twice this year because Terry hasn't let Foulke work out of his own jams. Foulke is a finisher. He is toughest with men on base.
  21. a700hitter
    It was a ridiculous move by the manager.
  22. a700hitter
    I just watched a taped interview of Jed Hoyer addressing Coco's situation. My, what a sissy boy.
  23. a700hitter
    He should not have played at all. Wily Mo has been swinging a potent bat and playing well in the field. Terry just shortened his lineup tonight, by putting an automatic out in the 8th hole.
  24. a700hitter
    It's so ridiculous that Willie Harris played the entire game. Just ridiculous!

    Joe staying with Proctor.
