    Cano has looked like a butcher out there at second in the first three games. He is not very good at all. The Yankees have problems on the right side.
  2. a700hitter
    and familiar:(
  3. a700hitter
    Bellhorn struck out swinging to end the rally.
  4. a700hitter
    Mirabelli just walked in a pinch hitting appearance against the Giants to load the bases. Bellhorn is following him as a pinch hitter.
  5. a700hitter
    Yankee announcers just said that Pavano has been cleared to start throwing.
  6. a700hitter
    Wright's first relief appearance in three years.
  7. a700hitter
    1,2,3 the yankees go down
  8. a700hitter
    I think they are taking the right approach.
  9. a700hitter
    Wang looked real shaky tonight. Torre has to go to his bullpen early. Let's see what they've got.

    Hopefully, Leiter doesn't work as slow in the booth as he did on the mound.
  11. a700hitter
    He certainly didn't sound disappointed or downcast. He realizes that he has to work on some things and get better, but it sounded like he was confident thast he would get there.

    Papelbon is a real luxury as an insurance closer and starter.

    I think you are right. Theo said something interesting before the game. I am paraphrasing, but he said that Tito would have to balance closing out a win with using Foulke. He said each win is important. This was only a 1 run game, with no margin for error. Foulke has not been good in Texas and he is coming off a bad outing. If there had been a three or four run lead, Foulke would have closed. Francona probably has had a conversation with Foulke about how he would use him. For now, he won't close out one-run games. They'll let him get his legs under him with 3+ run games. They will give him an opportunity to right himself, but not at the expense of a win.

    This is a big surprise that Francona threw Foulke under the bus after 1 game, but it was definitely the right move. Where does this leave Foulke?
  15. a700hitter
    Fine because there is nothing wrong with looking like a whore.
  16. a700hitter
    Another ground out. Ughhh!
  17. a700hitter
    The Sox have to start lifting this guys ball.
  18. a700hitter
    What is with the camera men in Texas. Every time there is a fly ball the camera shows the OF stands and not the fielders like it is a home run.
  19. a700hitter
    Yeah, someone earlier in the thread said the story had been changed. An editor with some sense must have pulled the editorial comment.
  20. a700hitter
    Huh, who said that ESPN was upset? Yeah, I read the article. They reported it under a heading calling it a "racially insensitive comment" or something like that. I don't think the remark was newsworthy. It never should have been printed. And no one is denying someone the right to be upset. The point is that this was an insignificant remark made by an athlete in an attempt at humor, not malice. It was made in the context of complimenting the fans in those countries. If someone wants to be offended, they have every right to be thin-skinned and take offense. But let's have some perspective, this was not Charles Barkely saying "I hate white people." Rocket's remark should not have been published with ESPN's editorial heading. If they printed it at all, they should have let the comments stand on their own.
  21. a700hitter
    Join the party!
  22. a700hitter
    It was a lame joke, but for ESPN to enflame the situation by calling it a "racially insensitive remark" was irresponsible. It did not rise to a level of newsworthiness, whether or not some people were offended by it. I am offended by about 3/4 of cable broadcasts, but that doesn't make it a news story.
  23. a700hitter
    They need Dotel in the Pen.
  24. a700hitter
    If you don't see the difference, that's unfortunate. It's nowhere near a valid analogy
  25. a700hitter
    So, in a discussion about the meaning of a statement by Clemens, and a debate whether or not it was offensive, you found the opportunity to bring up an offensive stereotype.
