Daron Sutton and Mark Grace
Sutton is kind of a doof, and Mark Grace is Jesus. |

Big win today. Nice to see the team bounce back from blowing it twice.
Captain Kirk has been incredible in CF and the leadoff spot. Collins has already said Kirk will move to left and be moved down in the batting order tomorrow to make room for Andres Torres. Nothing against Torres but I think that's a huge mistake. Feel like it sends a bad message to essentially demote the guy after what he's done. |

Nieuenheis doing well against the Rockies was infuriating, can't root against him cause he's a Colorado guy

CC getting back on track and giving us 8 strong innings.
Hope this injury with Swisher is minor. We ain't due to get Gardner back until the end of the week, I think. |

A couple tidbits.
Brandon Inge found a new home in Oakland. Vlad Guerrero has reemerged and will work out for the D-Backs. |

Rays sign Hideki Matsui to a minor league deal.
The day Dodgers fans have been waiting for a long time has arrived today. The sale of the team closed today. Magic Johnson and Stan Kasten are moving in, Frank McCourt is moving out. I'll turn on ESPN in a little while and see Magic still doing NBA anaylsis. |

Interesting article over on espn.com. MLB is considering tweaking the interleague schedule. Eliminating the big time intracity rivalries (i.e. Mets/Yankees Cubs/ChiSox)
and moving toward natural rivalries. The one they mention is Padres/Mariners. Here's the story. Sources: MLB to revamp rivalries Updated: April 30, 2012, 6:42 PM ET By Adam Rubin | ESPNNewYork.com HOUSTON -- Major League Baseball is working on a scheduling reconfiguration for the 2013 season and beyond that likely will eliminate the Mets and Yankees as well as other "natural rivals" playing home-and-home, six-game series annually, baseball sources told ESPNNewYork.com. With the Houston Astros moving to the American League West next season and the leagues becoming balanced at 15 teams apiece, natural rivals throughout baseball no longer will be guaranteed six games a season and home-and-home series, the sources said. That goes for obvious intracity rivals such as Mets-Yankees and Cubs-White Sox, as well as for more-forced natural rivals such as the San Diego Padres and Seattle Mariners. The Mets and Yankees will continue to play six games a season -- three apiece at Citi Field and Yankee Stadium -- when the AL East and NL East line up for long-form interleague play every three years. But in the other seasons, a major league source added, the competition likely will be limited to three games at one ballpark, or two games apiece at each ballpark. Sources cautioned that the 2013 Major League Baseball schedule, and the precise new configurations, are still being discussed. The Mets and Yankees annually have played three games apiece in the Bronx and Queens since 1999. The rivalry typically has been a boon to attendance while also increasing the toughness of the New York teams' schedules relative to their division rivals. While it increased the difficulty of the Mets' schedule, the Yankees annually playing three games a season at Citi Field has provided a boost to attendance and revenue. The nine largest crowds at Citi Field during the first three seasons of the stadium's existence were the Yankees' nine visits to Queens -- an average of 41,513 tickets sold per game. Since interleague play began in 1997, the Mets are 35-49 against the Yankees. |

Nick Johnson can't get a break, he's 0/32, bloops one to left and Nunez botched it for an error but 2 runs scored. 6-1 Os, looking good right now.
Nick Johnson is 0/32 with 3 HBP and 1 BB, and a .133 OBP, so much for the "BUT HES A .400 OBP GUY!!" |

Yeah, my brain's shot. Long day at work.
Yankees had Prior stashed away in AAA last season but never used him. |

Eric Chavez gets injured by standing at the plate.
Yankees will probably still refuse to call anyone up. Swisher should have been on the DL days ago with an actual OF called up. |

This has probably been the best game Ive seen the Os play all year so far. Hammel's near no hitter was the previous but that was against the twins..
