Slapping the ball out of Bronsons hand was bush league. Personally, I think what he did last night was fine and had he been on anyones team they would be applauding him, but since he's on the Yanks only NYY fans liked it. don't forget, the classic hidden ball play... I mean, that's not bush league is it? |

I think in A-Rod's case, because he's supposed to be the best player on planet earth, that he's supposed to be above playing tricks. I dunno where I stand on the issue really.

Giambi out for at least three weeks now because of his foot.
I'm guessing Damon will be seeing a lot of time at DH with Melky in center. No idea who will be brought up. Too bad the whole thing with Bernie happened during spring training; I don't care what anyone says about getting younger or whatever, I would love to have Bernie back as part time DH/bench player. As of now the bench is just horrible. |

I don't think the A-Rod thing is a huge deal. People in the dugout yell shit if you're trying to catch a ball near it and crap like that.

Does Mientkiwicz still have the last out ball? That would be pretty hilarious.

Yeah, I don't remember. Just would be pretty hilarious if he had the ball since he is now on the Yankees.

For some reason I thought he "lent" it to the Red Sox for a year, I dunno if he ever got back or what. I dunno, I mean I know he made the last out but come on.

Yeah that'd make sense since neither party would get the ball...I really don't get why Doug wanted it in the first place, I think I remember him saying "This ball is gonna put my kid through college" but it was a joke obviously. Really don't think he needs to worry about money after playing in the majors for so long

The A-Rod yelling thing is so ridiculous, people yell all the time on that play on pretty much every level of baseball. Nobody is ever gullable enough to fall for it though

Armando Benitez was traded to Florida for Randy Messenger. Looks like he can be a dick on his old team again.

But to answer the question. He owns the ball. But right now, he has it out on "loan" to the Boston Red Sox. Whether it's at Fenway, Red Sox HQ, Cooperstown. I don't know. |

His argument was, he gave the ALDS championship ball to Foulke and the ALDS to Lowe (or vice versa) and decided to keep this one for himself. Now, maybe you could argue he wanted the sentimental value, but I think it was all about the money. |

JD Drew sucking is getting old, he either needs to start hitting or they gotta move him back in the order. They are just wasting runners on base with Edgar Renteria part2 batting 5th

Yikes. Torre ejected in the 5th. Went round and round with the 3rd base ump. over a bad call at 3rd at which Abreu was safe after stealing, but got called out anyway.

Youkilis pretty close to being hit in the head. I do think the Yanks needed to retaliate for all the guys getting hit but that was too close to the head.
Meanwhile, Mattingly is being awful and using all of our best relievers with a 6 run lead. |

lol just saw the Zambrano/Barrett fight in the dugout. Zambrano is an idiot, he threw a ball away forcing Barrett to chase it down, pick it up then try to throw it to 3rd while looking directly in the sun. Yeah Barrett probably should have just ate it since the dude at 3rd would have probably been save anyway but how can you blame the dude after he tried to make a play to help you after you just threw it into the dirt right at the batter's feet?
Also just another random baseball note, in the latest edition of Sports Illustrated they have a picture of a pitcher from Creighton who pitched 60 something pitches with his right arm then 30 something with his left in the same game...what the fuck? |

Hell of a game of beanball yesterday. Too bad I missed that big 4th inning by a few minutes.
What is going on with Scott Proctor? He had that thing with the Mariners and now he's going head hunting for the wrong reasons. I don't know what's buzzing through his head, but I expect something to come down from maybe MLB or the Yankees about that. Totally uncalled for. Quote:

Bruney would be a much better 8th inning guy than Farnsworth. I said this at the start of the season.

Yeah, he's been probably our best reliever this year. I dunno, our bullpen worries me if we are gonna make any kind of run. There's quite a few options in AAA though that could help, but I don't think any moves will be made.
There's a kid Edwar Ramirez in AAA who has been pretty ridiculous so far- 0.34 ERA in 26 IP, 47 SO in 26 IP Britton is another option, he's up now but just until Clemens is back on Monday. |

LOl Francona is great. He's doing an interview during the 4th inning and Ortiz is standing behind him mocking him...
Buck : You're DH is standing behind you mocking you. Fracona : Oh i'll knock him on his ass! ROFL |

Wow, that could possibly be the worst inning I have ever seen. Misplays by Abreu, Cano, Jeter and A-Rod. Doug carried off the field with a probable concussion. Went from up by 1 run to down by 4.

Complete garbage. Proctor was spooked from last night, and Abreu is fucking afraid of the wall. That inning could have been over and done with. And that game would have been ours.
God I hope Doug is alright. He's been doing some pretty good work lately. Jorge Posada for team captain. |

Also, some dude came into the packy today when I was working (dude comes in all the time) and he had the NY Post that was featuring a photo of A-Rod and that girl at some hotel in Vegas claming he took it. I was like yeah okay fuck you buddy but then showed me like 15 other photos all from the same resort so I really don't think he was lieing. Pretty wild, the story seemed real too cuz he was like "I just thought it was him and his wife, figured they would give me some cash for but not much. Then I found out it wasn't even his wife, then they gave me a lot of money.......more enough for another trip back to Vegas" |
