shortstop

I'm in Tampa. The line of police cars you saw were from a policeman's funeral.

I give him credit for wanting to help a losing team improve. A lot of players will only sign with a team that has a chance to get to the World Series.

I think it would be a good move on Tampa Bay's part. He'd be a big draw attendance-wise.

Don't the Yankees players make a "curtain call" every single time one of them hits a homerun at home?

Yeah, because it's so much better to have a pitcher on your team that's been "injured" through most of his contract than one who goes out there and pitches his heart out every start. Man.

or as good as Abreu.

There's a possibility of rain tonight at Camden Yards. If the game gets called, we'll see Beckett, Dice-K and Wakefield in NY this weekend.

I honestly hope none of the Sox make it and they all get to go home and relax for a few days.

It is for me too.

I just read something funny on foxsports. They called Carl Pavano The American Idle.

The game's on ESPN tonight!

I'm so glad he came through.

I read somewhere this morning that Torre said Wang would have at least two minor league starts.

I don't think Wednesday's game is gonna be moved. Dice-K's Fenway debut is on ESPN in prime time.

I'm excited with Dice-K's performance yesterday. I'll take that over Pettitte's performance of last night any day of the week.
