And the difference between this year and last year was, if I recall correctly, it was the bullpen that imploded last year whereas this year was on sale.

So does the bullpen (or lack thereof) concern you?

I find you clowns more amusing than being on a Yankee site. But, back to baseball. Are you concerned with sale's performance yesterday? How about thornburg?

I thought the ESPN mini-series "The Bronx is Burning" was pretty well done. That was a pretty crazy time in NYC with the Son of Sam which they cover in the series and of course Howard Cosell's famous quote. Didn't hurt that the Ramones are featured prominently on the soundtrack.

Well, it looks like Voit was no fluke. He's on pace for 162 HR's, 648 RBI's, 1.000 BA, 1.000 OBP, 4.000 SLG and a 5.000 OPS !!!!

Probably because he's a high OB% guy and is usually near the top of the league leaders in pitches seen.

That's cute. We all use it, it's just you start to use it in every other post. Glad you spent the time to go and review all my posts for the times I've used it. You need a new hobby.

Because it's painfully obvious.................

How so? Do the rest of the AL East teams not have a west coast trip? Do they all not play pretty much the same teams?

I agree. But when they do, at least Arod can answer in intelligible sentences unlike when someone finally confronts papi about his.

But as moonslob would say He's chris freakin' sale!

I praised Nettles' fielding, didn't realize he did that with a corked bat, which makes it even more amazing.

He did not name a closer. Alex Cora won't name closer before Opening Day WWW.MLB.COM SEATTLE -- On the eve of Opening Day against the Mariners, Red Sox manager Alex Cora seemed to enjoy keeping the intrigue alive for one more day of how he will utilize his bullpen this season. A set closer? Matchups? What will it be? “I’m not going to name a

Again, do you take a lot of selfies? The reason I ask is you use "LOL" quite a bit. Those are 2 things my 13yr old niece and her friends do.

I'm with you on Sandlot, The Bad News Bears movies, Major League, Mr 3000 and Pride of the Yankees.

But on another note, what's your opinion on the Marlins vs the Rockies today?

That's a nice story, but sadly like most fairytales it's just not true..........

That's probably exactly how your dad felt after you were born........

So bellhop, do you also check under your bed for the boogie man before you go to sleep at night?

Sadly, that will never happen.

Shirley you can't be serious.............

Not if Tauchman sees significant time. And I'm not ready to count on Bird just yet.

Lighten up, francis, it was just a joke. I don't actually advocate the killing of sharks.

I don't know, never been camping with him. But speaking of the Pope, it reminds me of a funny joke. On a tour of Florida, the Pope took a couple of days off to visit the coast for some sightseeing. He was cruising along the beach when there was a frantic fight just off shore. A man, wearing a boston red sox ortiz jersey, was struggling to free himself from the jaws of a 25ft shark. As the Pope watched, horrified, a speedboat came up with three men wearing New York Yankee jerseys. One quickly fired a big harpoon into the shark. The other pulled bleeding Sox's fan from the water. Then they beat the shark to death with an autographed Buck Dent baseball bat and hauled it into the boat. Immediately the Pope shouted and summoned them. "I give you my blessing for your brave actions," he told them. "I heard that there was some hatred between red sox and Yankee fans, but now I have seen with my own eyes that this is not the truth." As the Pope drove off, the harpooner asked "Who was that?" "It was the Pope," one replied. "He is in direct contact with God and has access to all of God's wisdom." "Well," the harpooner said, "he may have access to God's wisdom, but he doesn't know s*** about shark fishing. How is the bait holding up?"

How do you know it's dumb if you've never seen it?
