Torre

I don’t care when it was taped.  This is what bothers me.  I have to sit there after (a) playoffs loss and listen to Torre say: “Well, we didn’t do this or we didn’t that.”  He always resigned.  Instead of being resigned how about being “resolved.”  Resolved to not let it happen again.  Even if [...]

Deal or No Deal.

1.  It’s not live, and was probably taped a month or two ago.
2.  It is pathetic that Torre ends up on this thing.  Where is Jim Leyland, Bobby Cox, etc?
3.  Sad thing is, Jason Giambi is supposedly on tomorrow to help the same contestant. Ugh.
BY THE WAY!  34 Days to Opening Day

Russ on Torre

Torre

It has just come to my attention that Joe Torre was on “Deal or No Deal” last night.  I do not watch the show personally.
WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING ON THIS SHOW!  HE SHOULD BE IN HIS OFFICE WATCHING VIDEO TAPE AND BREAKING DOWN THE TIGERS PITCHING! SHOULD BE KICKING PAVANO IN THE REAR!  [...]

HOF voting today

My favorite subject.  If I were on the Veterans Committee I would cast my ballot for Gil Hodges and Jim Kaat.  “No” on Ron Santo.  Hodges had 7 years in a row of 100 RBI or more.  He was the finest fielding first baseman of his era, one of the best all time.  And, of [...]

Jeter, Mickey, and Bush

The guy at Topps who did this might get fired, but he shouldn’t. This may just bring some popularity back to baseball card collecting. The card is already going for $50 on eBay.  Read the article here.

Strained Oblique

Wasn’t that a Swedish heavy metal band in the 80s? Think they opened for Spinal Tap on the historic Japanese tour. In the good olde days, below the waist was a charley horse, above was a pulled muscle. “Put some linament on it, Doc…. (that’s the 50’s player to the hard drinking, tobacco spitting trainer), [...]

Abreu – Strained Oblique

Well Bobby has injured his oblique batting yesterday.  Yankees are saying it is not a major problem (even though he will be out two weeks).  This does not effect Bernie’s status. They are not making an additional push to get him.
