1st Place

It’s 10:30pm. I’m still at work, but suprisingly in good spirits… Boston has just been defeated by Tampa Bay; Damon’s hit streak is over; and despite Brown’s performance, the Yankees are currently in the lead against Texas. If the latter holds true, the Yankees will be in first place when everyone reads this [...]

Soriano

This would scare me:
CF Damon
2B Soriano
DH Ortiz
LF Ramirez
SS Renteria
C Varitek
Rf Nixon
3B Mueller
1B Olerud

Hey, that’s ok. I was so angered by the news of Wang last Thursday, I called Mike T. up and told him that the Yankees should move Bernie from DH to CF during the game. Fortunately Mike had some sanity left and said “and lost the DH spot?” Expresso, rage, whatever…. this [...]

Defining Moments

If you are interested in the A-Rod & Sheff relationship, read this: Dynamic Duo
They love each other.

Fun things.

You had to love Giambi’s bunt base hit Saturday. The way it just curved around third base, couldn’t do that again this decade. Also, Shef’s comment in Newsday over being buzzed by Clement. Basically, “I’ve been thrown at by Nolan Ryan, and that didn’t get to me” (i.e., what has this loser [...]

Defining moments

There were several possible defining moments in the Boston series, but the one that I liked the best was Sheffield’s atbat where he takes a pitch behind his back, then puts a big dent in the green Monster, leading to Arods blast. I think I will remember that more than the ninth inning iof [...]

The Ninth

The normal rules do not apply with Boston. Just because it is not a save situation doesn’t lessen the importance of the game. 3 out of 4 in Boston, .5 game out of first and a chance to show the Red Sox – the Yankees are coming, Mo is on top of his [...]
