Tino Martinez Chat

I didn’t hear the chat either, but I read last week that Tino signed on with ESPN to be an analyst for thirty or forty games.

Tino Martinez Chat

Sorry Mike G., I didn’t get a chance to listen. I know how much you admire Tino – that’s too bad. But I’ll make a prediction: We have not seen the last of Tino Martinez in pinstripes. Coach or Spring Training Instructor, I’m sure he’ll be around. He took wearing the [...]

Tino Martinez Chat

I wasn’t able to listen to the Tino Interview. Since everyone knows I have a man-crush (as Mike T. once put it) on Tino, you can imagine how this upsets me. Did anyone have the chance to listen? Any interesting news?

Tino Martinez Chat

Tino Martinez will be chatting on ESPN.com at 1 PM this afternoon.

Gary Sheffield

Randy

Maybe if Randy had thrown at opposing batters more last year he would have had a better year. The enemy was digging in big time against him, no problem. The good old days of Randy intimidation were exemplified by his throwing near John Kruk in an All-Star game. Kruk laughed nervously and basically left [...]

Randy Randy….

According to the Post. Mr. Johnson was a little miffed at his teammates yesterday during the first live batting practice for not swinging at his offerings. The BP group included Jeter, Sheffield, Damon and catching prospect Will Nieves.
Randy grazed Damon in the left forearm with the third pitch of live BP. [...]
