Yeah I saw the Sox fans gave Bay a standing O for his first AB...nice. I was worried that the fans who didn't want Manny gone would be stupid and boo him or something.

Wow. Nice game last night with the Angels and Yanks.

Pity Rivera gave up that run in the 9th. I'm started to get tad bit concerned right now.

Francisco Liriano has been called back up to the Twins roster.

However, Livan Hernandez and Craig Monroe have been released.

I dunno if I posted about this, but at the Nats park you can take a shuttle bus from RFK to get to and from the game, and they were running these double decker buses which were definately were not cleared to drive in Southeast DC because people were getting hit in the face by trees and coming dangerously close to the top of overpasses. I rode one without knowing any of this but I was fine. However, two people got killed on one because they stood up and hit an overpass or something. I can't believe I rode on one.

Two killed on bus

Wow...the Mets have one of the worst bullpens I've ever seen. Any lead less than 5 runs makes me completely uncomfortable...and to think we are still stuck with Billy "I Can't Save a Big Game" Wagner for another year.

The Dodgers have more talent than any NL team, if they cant make a good run with this team, they should be shot in the faces.

Exactly. Nearly every start he makes...either the bullpen blows it or the offense doesn't show. It's like they are afraid to get their ace some wins.

Anyway...wondering if I could get everyone's opinion: Mike Piazza, clearly a first ballot HOF'er - does he go in as a Dodger or a Met? I got into a huge debate with my friend about it. While I naturally want him to go in as a Met, I really think it only makes sense. He hit more HR as a Met, had more RBI as a Met, and was one of the top 3 players in that team's history and will probably get his number retired.

I dunno, I'd be devastated if they put him in a Dodger cap...and it would mean Seaver will remain the only Met in the HOF for like another 20 years or so (and that's making the huge assumption that David Wright puts up big numbers the rest of his career with the Mets)

Nady has been the man ever since he got his first hit out of the way last week. Huge 3-run HR to put the Yankees up 8-5. 5 RBI's on the day.

LOL, Farnsworth doing his best to spoil the Yankees day.

Crazy game for the Yankees, great win though. Of the 14 runs they scored, only 5 were earned I think. Nady ends the day with 6 RBI's.

Nope, the HOF chooses what hat a player goes in with now because teams would pay off players to go in with their cap. They put a stop to it when Wade Boggs wanted to go in in a D-Ray cap.

Anyway:

Piazza w/ Dodgers: 177 HRs, 563 RBIs, 115 doubles, 3 triples, 10 SB, 896 Hits, 726 Games, 2702 AB, 283 BB, 1548 TB (.331 AVG/.572 SLG/.394 OBP) [5x All-Star, 5x Silver Slugger]

Piazza w/ Mets: 220 HRS, 655 RBIs, 193 doubles, 2 triples, 7 SB, 1028 Hits, 972 Games, 3478 AB, 424 BB, 1885 TB (.296 AVG/.542 SLG/.373 OBP) [7x All-Star, 5x Silver Slugger]

---

And the HOF surely has to factor in that he was one of the most important players in Mets history, helped lead them to an NL pennant, and is prolly gonna get into the Mets' HOF and have his number retired.

Wow, Jeff Kent, shut the fuck up.

I really appreciate Manny being here, but I don't think he's our savior," second baseman Jeff Kent said

Barry was a home-run threat every at-bat," Kent said. "I mean, he hit 70 home runs in one year. Manny's not going to do that.

Jesus Christ...there's no stopping the Filthies this year. They always come from behind and their bullpen doesn't blow it.

How Brad Lidge has yet to blow a save this year is beyond me. Probably saving it for the postseason.

Yah, hate him. He is such a douchebag. Does not like baseball, plays it because he is good at it. Doesn't really talk or hang out with any of his teammates, he is such a dumb redneck.

He is a good player though, still, gotta give him that. Still cheer for the guy, because he is a Dodger, but I would hate him if I was a fan of any other team.

Holy shit.

Yankees prospects may have been forced to kick back bonus money
By T.J. Quinn and Mark Fainaru-Wada
ESPN.com

Major League Baseball investigators are looking into accusations that several New York Yankees prospects from the Dominican Republic were forced to kick back portions of their signing bonuses to one or more team employees, several sources told ESPN.

The revelation is one of several developments in an ongoing investigation of a financial scandal involving the signing of players from the Dominican Republic. Last week, the Red Sox's Dominican scouting supervisor, Pablo Lantigua, was fired after MLB investigators confronted him about allegedly skimming signing bonuses, according to an MLB source.

Sources also told ESPN that the investigation is expected to implicate roughly 20 people on "a handful" of teams before it is complete. Investigators also have expanded their probe into Venezuela, where many major league clubs have player academies. "Things are coming to a head," one source familiar with MLB's investigation said.

The Yankees placed several employees on leave pending the results of baseball's probe into the possible skimming of bonuses in the Dominican Republic, The New York Times reported Tuesday.

The employees scouted in the Dominican Republic, the newspaper said, citing an unidentified person in baseball who was briefed on the matter. Their names and jobs were not revealed in the report.

Four MLB investigators returned to the United States from the Dominican last week and are preparing a report for the commissioner's office. While clubs have fired several officials already implicated in the scandal, MLB has worked closely with the FBI, which is conducting its own investigation into the alleged skimming of bonuses.

One source briefed on MLB investigators' findings said he believed "less than a half-dozen" teams would be implicated, including the Yankees, Red Sox, Nationals and White Sox.

The 20 or so employees, based in both the United States and the Dominican Republic, either received money or were aware of others who did, the source said.

Sources said FBI agents have not traveled to the Dominican, and contrary to media reports, have limited their probe thus far to allegations surrounding fired White Sox official David Wilder, Washington Nationals general manager Jim Bowden and Nationals special assistant Jose Rijo.

Wilder has not commented and did not return several phone calls. Bowden previously confirmed to ESPN that he had spoken with federal authorities but insisted he has done nothing wrong, and that FBI agents had asked him nothing about his own activities. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman declined to comment. Officials with Major League Baseball and the Red Sox on Monday did not immediately return calls seeking comment.

The accusations against the Yankees surfaced more than a month ago, sources said, but were augmented by an anonymous letter sent to the club shortly after investigators began looking into the charges. The letter listed the names of several prospects and the amount of money allegedly skimmed from their signing bonuses.

Two sources familiar with the letter's contents said Yankees officials turned it over to MLB investigators and have cooperated.

One of the players named in the letter was well-regarded prospect Kelvin DeLeon, a 17-year-old outfielder who signed for $1.1 million last year. He is currently playing for the Yankees' Dominican League club.

Investigators are looking at the involvement of Yankees scouting official Carlos Rios, sources said.

The scandal began to break in March when Wilder, then the scouting director for the White Sox, was stopped in Miami by U.S. Customs officials while trying to bring about $40,000 in cash back from the Dominican Republic. Sources said Wilder, who has not been criminally charged, has been cooperating with the FBI. He and two scouts were fired by the White Sox in May.

Wilder and others have been accused of inflating the value of some Dominican prospects, then demanding a kickback from the players' families once the players were signed. Critics have long complained that street agents known as "buscones" had been taking large cuts of players' bonuses as fees, but the news that scouts and other officials employed by the clubs were taking money has jolted the island.

"The families went along with it because they were still getting the money," one source said. "[The scouts] were really stealing money from the clubs."

-----------------------------------------------------------

Do note that it's not ONLY the Yanks, but other teams are involved in this as well.

Its not really the teams involved. its the Scouts stealing money from Players, who are in on it.

Like X Yankees scout says "Ill sign you, and we split the money".

So fuck, I bet mad scouts have been stealing.
