Snooze, 7-9 hitters are automatic outs. How exciting is that?

I think guys that score with women like the AL more. Cuz we like scoring.

heh

at least the mets were the only NLers that seemed to want to win the thing. only offensive production all night. back to the regular season grind!

interesting to have 2 NY vs. Chicago matchups this weekend
Yanks vs. White Sox, one of the best teams in the AL
Mets vs. Cubs, one of the worst teams in the NL

Yanks pick up Sidney Ponson for their rotation, after he was let go by the Cardinals (who then got Jeff Weaver)

I love seeing the red sox bullpen getting overused then blowing the game the last 2 games

or keepnig Varitek in for all 19 innings of the sox-sox game


go tito

Rivera one save away from #400

Mo gets his 400th save in completing a Yankee sweep of the White Sox
He did in impressive fashion, as it was for 2 full innings, and he drew 2 double plays

Most importantly, the Yankees are 1/2 games back of Boston and 3 games back of the wild card White Sux. Yanks pitching is starting to do pretty well especially when most of the AL is pretty awful. It's always a decided advantage when you have a great closer like Mo. He's the best!

Mariners in town, I was hoping for another sweep but then I remembered Sidney Ponson is pitching Tuesday. That's an automatic blood bath! My prediction is that the Yanks will get someone else to replace him after his 2-3 atrocious starts. I hope I'm wrong.

Bobby Abreu is all the talk in the papers. Not really a big fan of that. Not a great defensive player, he's lost his power, and is considered a clubhouse malcontent potentially ruining the great chemsity the Yanks got this year.

can ponson really top lima?

When the yankees get matsui and cano back, they will be the 2nd best team in AL. Boston has one starter(schilling) a rookie closer.

White sox starters showed there true colors this weekend most have era's over 5.00. They cant hit way out vs the better al tems.

can ponson really top lima? [/QUOTponson last 2 starts werent terrible and hes over bews now maybe that will help?? at least he has the potential to give innings Wright is an automatic 5 inning pitcher

Mets hit 2 salamis for a franchise record 11 runs in one inning, against the Cubs
A great display on national TV
Good to see them beat a rookie pitcher for once
Sure bailed out El Duque, who didn't last through the 2nd inning, and gave up a home run to the Cubs pitcher

E-Rod was vintage last night, so Nick Green gets the start tonight
Seriously, twas probably just an unusually bad day, and luckily the team still won the game

thanks dan patrick. actually a-rod hurt his big toe too which is why he left the game in the 8th yesterday.

May Rod is hurting, they are taking X-Rays today. Obviously I don't like the guy and 3 errors is pretty brutal from a former gold glove SS, but the Yanks can't afford to have Nick Green in the lineup vs. him. They have enough injuries already. Getting Matsui back plus Dotel, Pavano, Cano, and then Sheff would be like a major trade acquisition. Just trying to hold serve until then.

went to the game yesterday was the best i ve went to all season (so far but i think nothings gonna top this) proctor was surprising an actually got ppl out, the rain delay that almost got called (they would have lost if it was called), the willis reed like appearance (in game 7 of the finals) of arod that was a bust, melky hittin the game winner in which the ball dropped right in front of me ....(but bothered not to get it cause i wasn t bout to fall over the rail an be a highlight on espn an those fans a lil hardcore fightin over the ball saw a few bang their heads on the floor an shit HA!) all in great game even better they won!

Excellent call at 1st base in the 9th inning, as well!

The Milk Man!

Melky is showing some pop lately. Got Melky is money, clearly a fan fav already. Yanks farm system sucks so bad they've only produced Robinson Cano, Melky, and Wang in the last 2 years. 3 big reasons why they are doing so well this year.

I don't want Reggie Sanders. For what? Matsui is gonna be back in 3-4 weeks then they can put the Milk Man in RF until Sheff comes back. Once they are both back, rotate Matsui and Sheff at the DH spot since Melky has 9 freaking assists this year. Great arm and on target.

Andy Phillips has been an offensive spark too, another good game last night.

My friend pointed out to me that Juice needs to DH, Andy is a fine 1B fielding wise. Matsui is adequate in LF. So rotate Sheff/Juice at DH with Melky and Sheff rotating in RF. That's how I'd do it. If you look at it that way, we don't need another OF. The only thing is who will play RF next year once they let Sheff go but they can figure that out in the winter.

Buy pitching instead! Ponson was alright actually after the first....

Most rookie outfielders with decent arms rack up assists their first year because Major Leagues will test them. Last year, Jeff Francoeur had 13 assists in 65 games. Which is insane. This year? 5 in 94 games. So let's not annoint him Roberto Clemente just yet.
