Hey man, you ever like give your dog peanut butter and watch him lick it up? You ever like put it on your dong man? Hey bro we just got swept, ok?

it is too early in the season for any kind of in depth analysis, but what i can say is: Joba is scary, Joba plus Mariano is frightening. if the yankees can patch together 6 or 7 innings from anyone else ( and STOP pitching to manny) they will win yet again in the a.l. east...

Yanks win one, Sox win one...slight interest ensues...

It's crazy j'know? It must be my sixth digit or something bro, I don't know you be better to ask someone that knows toes. I just 'it de ball man.

For how many years have I been repeating the same thing: DO NOT PITCH TO MANNY!!!
and if you ever wanted to see the effects of a sudden withdrawal from steroids just take a look at David Ortiz, what a mess... Game 3 tonight!!!




Yanks unearth Sox jersey at new stadium
By KAREN MATTHEWS, Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK - So much for the curse. The New York Yankees have ended a construction worker's attempt to jinx their new stadium with a buried Boston Red Sox jersey.

Team officials watched Sunday as construction workers removed the jersey, with slugger David Ortiz's name on it, from 2 feet of concrete in a service corridor of the stadium that's under construction.

The team says a construction worker — who is a Red Sox fan — recently buried the jersey there while on the job. Two other supervisors found the tattered shirt Saturday.

The Yankees plan to donate the jersey to charity, and may pursue a lawsuit against the construction worker.

Girardi is a genius. Start with the bullpen and then go to your starter in the sixth inning of a game that you are losing. I love that Girardi was trying to out-smart the weather. Why didn't Kansas City have any of these problems with their pitching? Girardi has balls. I just wish he would start A-Rod at shortstop while Jeter is out, but we all know that would be a mortal sin. It's time to wake this team up before they go to Boston on Friday night. Maybe Mariano will start tonight?

A Golden Fenway Moment

Considering it was snowing last week, i'd the say baseball gods were quite kind to give us 55 and sunny for the ceremony that never gets old. Can't help but feel lucky that i was unemployed at the time since the games start at 2 in the morning. hey selig fuck you.

Week One

The best thing I've seen all week is the Chien Ming Wang + Joba Chamberlin + Mariano Rivera "lights out" combination. I saw it twice. Besides that, I've seen Toronto having a bit of fun along with Tampa Bay.It won't last. Men are getting paid millions of dollars to hit a fucking ball and they just aren't doing it, but it's only week one.

skydome made of poop, sox swept

hey brother james. we should catch a weekend game up in canada, don't suppose you ass has a passport? oh well ask george if wants to go, i saw don mattingly at an aa meeting yesterday. getting a blow job from a moustache kinda tickles/

Sox swept in toronto, yanks swept in tampa? at home? did they win one? we're not very good at this.

This is a picture from my inside my brain while searching for porn on the internet.

OPENING DAY, again...

Yankees win, of course. underrated Wang and Joba rules and the one and only Mariano. my only problem is Girardi and his cheekful of fucking copenhagen. i wouldn't be so concerned if i had not seen the tin over his shoulder on the dug out bench and spent the entire game fixated on his fucking chaw. i always thought Torre and his fucking green tea was a little bit ridiculous but chewing tobacco is nasty, and this is coming from someone who has had a lot of nasty habits. hopefully someone tells him to keep the tin and his spit cup out of the camera shot so i can concentrate more on the game.

Opening Day

Bush getting booed in D.C. is awesome.

Cubs v. Brewers was awesome.

L.A. Dodgers are the team to watch.

Yankees rain out sucks, but so does baseball in March.

more games to watch, gotta' go!!!

here it is the big day

we got rain in chicago, sun in LA & about 2 feet of snow in my yard......play ball!

oh, that's weird it's still spring training, mind if i take off my shirt?

This is either a map of my rape and pillaging in the old college days or it's facilites of baseball teams in florida. hey i would totally move to florida if it wasn't going to disappear in my lifetime. let's see this house is five feet above sea-level you say? hmm that sounds like a good lifetime investment, sold! nha, just kidding i don't believe that. 100 years from now though? possible. anyways hurray baseball in florida!

Here Comes The Sun

I have no idea why playing in Japan is necessary, but when i woke up at 6 this morning and turned on espn2 i officially declared it the end of winter. Finally , games that matter. Regular season baseball is back and the world's greatest team will be opening their season on monday, in America...

6:05 A.M.

in less than 12 hours Bartles and James will be back in business...

Manny

Hey homes! It's me Manny. Hey Homes I'm in this dome, in like Japan ju'know? Maybe we play good maybe we don't, I don't care. We don't want to eat de cake before the birthday ju'know? Hey excuse me homes I tought I 'it that ball over the fence, Manny needs to run now ju'know?

at least he's not in Boston...

Hey Noto! Come Join my Reader's Digest/Beard Cult

it's funny when the best player in baseball signs a new contract with your team and you are disappointed about it.

Now it's getting interesting...

One Year of Bartles and James

and it's completely dead.
Red Sox will most likely win. who cares???

NOW WHAT???

this is the celebration that should have happened

These games are just a practice for the upcoming ALCS. Fucking great Friday. Saturday sucked and left me wondering what Kevin Youklis ever did to The Yankees..

Clemens v. Schilling = old and overpaid pitchers. A little bit of old timers day tonight at Fenway Pawk.

AN A-BOMB FROM AROD

and another

and another

and another!

too bad for any other team dreaming they might win anything in 2007... go back to bed, Yankees got it locked up tight. another touch of history, making you all look awful and lonely girl at the dance. bartles charge your phone for this next series...

and how about the buffalo bills???

a whole different season/sport/point of view.

good reasons to drink too early in the day!

This thing ain't over

6 games up today, looks like the Yankees are 3 up in the wild card. One more series at Fenway Then possibly a postseason dance perhaps This Sox, Yanks thing just doesn't seem to end does it, it would probably be good idea for a blog. Well I'm tickled pink to know we'll both be in it, it's really not any fun when you're playing the Angels.

The Abyss that is JD Drew

Well we always knew this bastard would haunt us, never really a doubt, never really any good times. At least Matt Clement went 8-0 to start off his dreadful term with the Sox.

This series was certainly not fun to watch, not that I watched it, I listened to it. A couple of things stand out....Joba Chamberlain has officially arrived & J. Damon still has a flair for the dramatic.

And who the hell scheduled this series in the middle of the week?

Regarding our diminshing division lead of 5 games, I don't think there's any question we will barely snake out the division, but seeing the Yankees in the playoffs with our bats this dead would be quite scary. Dice-K and Beckett clearly aren't pitching in a dominant fashion (which is what got us here in the first place)

But what this all proves is that Manny, not Schilling, is the heart of this team. With him out we really are an average at best line-up.

5.0 / 0.0

Nothing says "intimidation" like a one hundred mile per hour fastball thrown at your fucking head. Or how about 2 fastballs thrown at your fucking head. Out of the way Red Sox. No painted socks this year, no crying and gay ass cowboy up bullshit. Just your defeat!!!

6.0 / 0.0

A suspicious lack of activity here at Bartles and James as The New York Yankees win the first two of three against The Boston Red Sox. I will have a full recap after tomorrow's game. Or better yet, after I get out of work tomorrow and watch the replay of tomorrow's game. If this is a preview of the playoffs I am enjoying what I am seeing. When The New York Yankees get into a short series they are dangerous. Three solid starters and a fucking devastating 8th /9th inning combo... Joba is a fucking serious threat. o.oo era in 12 appearances, reminds me of a young Mariano, back when he was an 8th inning setup man- remember when??? Strive to win the east- and pay no attention as you get the wild card...

FUCK THIS SHIT

Easy come, Easy Go.

Little high, Little Low. That clicking sound you're hearing is the all the tv's of Yankees fans turning off. A sweep this week in the bronx would end this nice and quickly...however I'd be a moron to to believe that's going to happen. Even when the Yankees are horrible they manage to keep it interesting, that impressive. 6.5 back.......hit me where the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me.....to me.

6.0 / 2.5

SOX AND YANKS LOSE DAYGAMES: Northeast bummed

Wow, crazy comebacks, or non-comebacks that is. What a bizarre afternoon. The poster children for both teams, Manny and Sandman don't come thru in the clutch today.

Scientists say Satan Fish have healing powers

Funny how just a few games up against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays will really make you feel like you're a winner. Right Yankees fans? It seems like only a couple of days ago the Red Sox were in bad shape with a month and a half to go. Got to love that bullpen of theirs and you got to hate Kazmir, that guy freaking owns us! You know who else owns us? Bedard of the Orioles.....the Yanks get him 2nite.

There is a five letter word that Red Sox Nation used a lot in 2004, and rightfully so, after that amazing comeback against the New York Yankees. It's still only mid- August so I will give The Red Sox the first letter in this word and we will fill in the blanks from there. C_ _ _ _ ... Anyways, Yankees sweep Cleveland. Everybody hits. ARod homers twice Saturday night. giambi homers sat and sun. YAWWWWWWWWWN!!! Let's get to the end of the season already... Let's get to the match up we've all been waiting for. AL East might be all tied up by the 28th, Sox could even be in second place by the 28th. Those three games might mean somebodies whole season...

5.0/ 0.0

I can't stand working while I know there are these great games going on. The numbers change every fucking day, and slowly but surely the Yankees are coming out ON TOP!!! And Saturday is a 7pm game, which means i will be off work and into a good buzz for this one... Joba Chamberlin and Shelley Duncan are exactly what this team needed to win this year. Did i mention that Giambi is back???

5.0/0.5
last nights game was crazy. best game of the year so far. i forgot all about jason giambi, he just sort of showed up.

We have every right to be scared Sox fans

Hey Kids! Well the Yanks are scoring about 10 runs per game (like they should have been doing all year!). And the Sox have been scoring about 2 runs per game, nothing new there. The good news is the schedule gets a little tough for the Yanks, not that much tougher but they won't be playing Tampa and KC the entire season. But hey at least they are making things interesting! Brother Bartles is in a tizzy right now over A-Rod, you know what? I fucking hate John Sterling that's what. That 500th HR call was the most annoying radio call I'd heard since that cranky old lady announced Clemens was coming back. 6 games left head to head, this is getting very exciting.

6.0/0.5

6.5/ 0.0 - at least for the next couple of hours. a month ago there was no fucking way to see this coming. that is a shitload of ground to make up. and now the real test comes over the next couple of weeks. Mariano looked sick in the ninth striking out rios and wells and thomas. this season just gets better and better...

matsui is a fucking monster

random thought: Why couldn't the mariner moose run over Josh Beckett ???

getting back into this Bartles and James thing...

what else can you say about the world's greatest living ballplayer??? sometimes just sit back and enjoy the view. finally 500, (finally.... at 32) and the Yankees continue their daily batting practice against the al central. who needs pitching when you can score 17 or 18 runs everyday??? (don't answer that, i know the appropriate responses) and yes, the wild card is good enough. it'll have to be unless i finally get to see that Red Sox/Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash i've been dreaming of since 2004... and stay tuned because i'm getting back into getting back into you.

it's going to be a fight 'till the death for the wild card. i just don't see that usual boston self doubt, where they will their own demise. this year is too much of a high. but cleveland, on the other hand, does not have a shot of holding a two game wild card lead. or any other team. not against the yankees, a team that is having batting practice against every starter in the al central...

Schilling is due back next week

Not worried right now, Brother James.

Hi kids! Well 7.5 games up in the A.L. East with roughly 60 games to go. I'll take it. Here's the crusher though, the Yankees have the Indians, Detroit and Angels and BoSox in August. Then it's a healthy platter of Tampa Bay, Baltimore and remarkably more K.C. in September. 8 games against Detroit in August! Holy cow. Red Sox have 7 games vs. L.A. in August. So basically we will have good idea where things stand before September rolls around. That is unfortunate news for the Yanks brass because the trading deadline will have passed, meaning if things go south the A.L. East traveling all-star team of legends (Yanks) will all be playing golf soon. Roger Clemens is 3-4 w/ a E.R.A. of 3.72. Oh yeah and he's a money-grubbing slut. Who played 13 years for the Red Sox. Carl Pavano pitched in 11 innings this year in 2 starts, making $10 mil this year. No word yet if he'll ever pitch again seeing as how he's on permanent vacation. These are two guys the Red Sox wanted to sign in their last available free agent terms, thank G-O-D the Yankees beat us to it, don't forget Jose Contreras too we wanted him real bad. A gentle reminder that it's all about pitching in the post-season.

All-Star Break (Time to go home and bang the "real" wife)

-Hi Kids!

-Well Sox just got swept by the Tigers and didn't look too good. Youk is hurt, schilling is so hurt nobody's even talking about it. Beckett and Dice-K are coming back to earth.

-You have to wonder where this all ends up. begginning of the season I predicted Sox would win division by five games and I think that will hold true.

-(I also predicted 60 homers for Papi, and 50 for matsui) whoops

-Speaking of papi, something isn't right, he's not single-handedly winning games like he used to. When it was happening I think we were all taking that for granted, big time!

are we still doing this?

- kinda' wish the Yankees would just hurry up and die. not quite .500 at the all star break is fucking ridiculous. and thanks ARod for having an amazing year in a season that doesn't matter, one hell of a way to leave new york...

- it's looking like the only thing i have to look forward to this fall is:

"Living in America!"

-12 games up and we still can't believe it. By the way, our shortshop has two hits this month. Something tells me the Sox haven't begun to gel offensively but it's coming along.

-Mike Lowell, we brought him to take his salary off Florida's hands in the Beckett trade, he comes to Boston and nobody is even sure he'll make the team. The Mike proceeds to have the two best offensive years of his life (did i mention we brought him here as a defensive gold glover with no bat). He leads the best team in the majors in RBI's and tied for 1st in homers. This is like bringing in Cher to make a movie and she ends up getting an Oscar. (oh wait that happened)

-Congrats on #350 Roger!

-Dice-K, Beckett, Papelbon, Lester, Gabbard, Delcarmen, Okijima. Nothing like young arms to make you feel good about the future.

Well it would seem as though this whole thing has evened out lately

Hi kids, been awfully quiet around here these days. I vow to bring us back up to speed....uh....later.

Well those Colorado Rockies have been tough, swept the Yanks. Swept the Sox at fenway too! It would be a very weird world if they ever became a dominant team. Speaking of the Rockies, part of their stadium is really a mile high in altitude!

This is an interesting weekend of NL matchups looke dope! Peavy vs, Beckett should be classic.

Put up the Montreal logo back Brother James, at least until after the all-star break. Or as Manny calls it, Siesta time.

watching this team is nearly impossible

boy, doesn't 7 and a half sound so much more reasonable than 14 and a half???

boston is shitting their second rate pants... it's time for red sox injuries and yankee world domination. cocky, and getting cockier...

Don't Turn Around Red Sox, this train is coming faster than you think!!!

Yankees Win Eighth Straight With 7-2 Win Over Diamondbacks; Rodriguez Hits No. 25June 13, 2007 11:31 p.m. EST
Marc Pruitt - AHN Sports Reporter
New York, NY (AHN) - The hits just keep on coming for the New York Yankees.
The Bronx Bombers won their eighth straight game Wednesday night after a 7-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Alex Rodriguez hit his major league leading 25th home run, and Hideki Matsui had a three-run blast in the fourth inning that gave the Yankees a 7-1 lead.
Mike Mussina (3-3) pitched 7 2/3 strong innings, recording a season-high seven strikeouts in his first win since May 9. He also is the first major league pitcher to rack up 20 wins in interleague play.
The Yankees have now won 11 of their last 13 games and are a game above .500 at 32-31, the first time they have been there since being 8-7 on April 20.
Jorge Posada also homered in the second inning for the Yankees to tie the score at 1-1.
Bobby Abreu extended his hitting streak to 12 games with a fourth inning single.
Chris Young had given the Diamondbacks a 1-0 lead with a sacrifice fly in the first inning.
Conor Jackson homered in the sixth for Arizona, but that was the last of the offense.
Livan Hernandez (5-4) was bombarded in four innings or work, giving up nine hits and all seven runs while walking five.

You can't deny it's been a great Yankee week!

-one game away from .500

-6 wins in a row

-The Rocket's groin holds up for a win

-Abreu and ARod are fucking monsters

-Torre 2000th win

-and on and on and on

New York Yankees.. come out and play...

should you be scared of a team that you are ten up on? THIS TEAM- you absolutely should.... and rocket , we'll see what he can do tomorrow...

Como se llama, Almost No-No?

Dammit all Curty almost through a no-no, got as close as you can get really. Oh well still won and that is for sure the most important part. That was a tough game, and what a playoff game it would have made. And I missed it completely (was at work).

50 some odd days until the trade deadline, you know moves are going to be made. Everybody in New England doesn't know it yet but we need a catcher prospect to replace (back-up for awhile) Varitek. who is 35 and aging like the anti-Dorian Gray.

The Yanks need bullpen help big time, guess what texas has a guy, he's ok you may have heard of him, his name is...um...Eric Gagne. It seems to good to be true that the Yanks would end up with 2/3 of the best closers of the past decade on the same time. Of course the small type here is that they're both in the "past-prime but still kinda got it" era of their respective careers. BTW Trevor Hoffman would complete the trilogy.

Meanwhile the Yanks are edging closer...they don't die and I never believed that they do, but with mattingly at the helm, I'm not worried. He's like Tony Soprano's son, AJ, he doesn't know how to run the show....don't make him prove his worthlessness again.

History in the making?

Oakland is owning Boston. and the Yankees are struggling their way back towards mediocrity. at least they're not losing every game this week. we'll see. Wang gave them what they needed- a complete game, i think it has been about a year since a Yankee pitcher threw one. it was Wang, last July... Batters are looking stronger... I'm almost ready to believe again. and not just in the wild card, i believe the Yankees always get the best stories in history, this year it will be written. Boston's Collapse and The Miracle Yanks!!!

Johnny Damon likes the muscular type too!

State of the Rivalry

Here we are in the first weekend of June. June people!

The Yankees are currently 13.5 games back behind the division leader. They also have one game at that particular leaders' home and then go on the road to play the Chicago White Sox for a four game stretch without new free agent signing Roger Clemens (who will be out for the series with a minor groin pull).

Let me declare this series is still very relevant, the Yankees have the best line-up in baseball, pitching throughout the league will continue to get banged-up. However they also have a bullpen that is getting more and more banged up as the year progresses. You really can take the effort to blame coach Joe Torre for this infraction against his arms.

Calling for his job is another matter, this is a guy who has coached the Yankees to 6 W.S. appearances! Give him a shitty bullpen and you have exposed his weakness, he overuses his bullpen every year. He has an uncanny knack for knowing when a guy is toast and when to start warming up a xouple relievers, give him bad pitching all- around and you are setting him up for disaster. Still Joe should be untouchable.

The Sox meanwhile continue to be the team that just wins the majoity of its' games. I have always been a believer in the theory that if you take 2/3 in every series you will win your division very easily and although it sounds like common sense, nobody really goes all out for that stat like they should....until now.

Francona is flying under the radar like a U-2 plane in China these days. if he wins a W.S. again he might go down as the 3rd most popular coach in Boston history. (1. Red Auerbach, 2. Bill Belichiek, 3. Tito Francona) and this Sox team doesn't look close to done, especially compared to the Yankees team of 2007:

Clemens, Pettite: I would be shocked if these guys play another season
Damon: Looks like a 12 year old when he throws the ball.
A-Rod: Soooooo gone after this year, really, do think he likes N.Y.?
Giambi: 'Nuff said. They might just make him disappear altogether (he's a 10/5 guy)
Matsui: hey, I love the guy but he ain't gettin' any younger
Jeter: ditto
Moose: ditto
Posada: ditto
Mo Rivera: ditto
Abreu, M-witz, Proctor, Pavano, etc.: Ships passing in the night

That leaves:
Cano, Wang, Melky, Hughes, Nieves as the basis of your next Yankees dynasty.

This message with self destruct in 5 seconds.

P.S. if your 20 games out by the all-star break Roger ain't stickin' around. Neither is A-Rod. Ouch. But that's what happens when you base a relationship on money.

There's always women's tennis...

15 is my magic number . but 14 and a half is close enough to just shut .it. on .down. sure, i'll still watch, but i will do my best not to give a shit...

it would have to be The Greatest Comeback in sports history...

i don't think i'm giving up too easy.

- like i don't have enough bullshit and disappointment in my life as it is. now why you all wanna' go ruin my summer like this?

- the yankee stadium faithful are booing Torre now. not since '96 have they even dared. the last hope for this year is that the red sox get caught in some horrendous plane/bus accident and they all get stuck in the Andes and have to eat each other. maybe then the yankees could have a chance in hell. wait until spring, bandini- next spring that is... ortiz looks like he's got a lot of meat on him. grill him first...

Deep Thoughts

*Sometimes I think of Jason Giambi and I want to help, but then I think, "nah, fuck 'em"

*Come to think of it that whole Roger thing got a little out of hand didn't it fans?

*Mike Mussina is a nice guy but he seems like he has hairy hands if you know what I mean.

*This headline says it all: "A-Rod, Wang do in the Sox"

*Be doin another edition of Play Ball tonight! Shilling and pettite, see you after the show.

i guess this series would matter more if each win was worth triple points. i can't even watch the yankees anymore. awhile back i asked for someone to tell me when the worst of it is over, and i'm still waiting... who else can we bring out of retirement. what about Bernie as new manager??? and by the way, what the fuck is with Posada? .382, holy shit.

OKI-DOKI

Life is good, life is good! Life is definitely good! 10 Games up on the Yankees. Mostly because of this guy, Okijima. Or as I like to refer to him, "OKI-(what the hell ever happened to Mike Timlin?, did he get inside this guy's body?) -DOKI"

Actually the whole team is playing like it's October, except it's not. Which is disappointing to say the least. But we are 25% of the way thru the season. If we put together a mediocre second half we might still be in good shape.

ESPN ticker announced the stat of the day: No Yankees team under Joe Torre has ever trailed the Sox by 10 games. Yankees fans are all playing the same card right now, "Happens every year...see you in October.....you guys will choke at the all-star break." Guess what guys, what if you're wrong this time? What then?....You know you can't make the playoffs every year right? It's actually not possible statistically.....you guys OK?

congrats on the great start...

We Gonna' Sweep the Tigers' Asses!

it's just a hunch but i got a good feeling about it, the sox and the tigers are the two best teams in the a.l. right now, we got them in our home court.

the feeling around new england right now is world series or bust, and super bowl or bust at the same time....we a crazy conceited and it feels awesome. kinda like lindasy lohan at a club in the v.i.p. room looking down on all of the little people.

Play Ball! Sunday 5.13.2007

2:08: Ok game under way. Glad to do one with Remy and Orsillo today. I'm watching this Mother's day game on two 12" inch TV's that are placed in different areas of my pad.

2:09: Youk at third today....hmmm. I like Lowell better over there.

2:14: Remy and Orsillo are talking about their parents, this is why I like these guys, their freaking parents watch all the games, have been Sox fans their whole life. Give me announcers who grew up big fans of the team they're announcing, not just a good neutral voice.

2:17: What the hell? A double steal and a wild throw. Birds 1- Sox 0. Beckett's got 2 K's and a walk. Weird start.

2:20: I knew we should have traded Manny for Aubrey Huff! right up the middle, Birds 2-0

2:30: Jay Gibbons must not be doing too well this year, hitting in the bottom part of the order. I always thought he would be a solid player, and he plays everyday, but he never became an often mentioned player.

2:39: Weird play, Payton totally mispilays the ball. What are the Orioles trying to build a replica of the 2005 Sox....if so Trot Nixon obviously does not like soft shell crab.

2:41: offense very lame right now. The Birds are not this good.

2:43: Orsilllo holding one of those pink bats wearing a beige suit. "That bat goes very well with your suit, Don (laughs)," says Remy. Followed by the theme of Love Boat playing for thirty seconds. "You have pulled out some beauty's this year," Remy is picking on Don again, classic.

2:46: Looks like this home plate ump is horrible, made some bad calls in this series already.

2:49: pretty catch by 'Tek, the guy's still got it. Somebody told me he's 35. I'm gonna look that up.

2:51: yup he turned 35 on 4/11. uh-oh we got any prospects?

2:55: Not really, Kottaras and Wagner, neither rated very highly. We might want to draft a stud soon.

3:00: Beckett with 7K's here with one out in the top4th. This guy is a real deal.

3:02: Millar will always be a Red Sock, that saying looks really stupid anyways back to my original thought, but he will also always be the guy who just lines bullets into the crowd on the 3rd baseline, foul drive after foul drive.

3:17: Why was Kyle Snyder warming up? Irritation in what? Well no win for Beckett, no decision I would think.

3:18 Birds 3-0, nice play by Cora there.

3:27: J.D. Drew waking everybody up, way to go Mr. Pink bat. Looks like Beckett has some skin irritation on his finger, no biggie. They can reattach tendons but they can figure out indian burn.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

4:56: Took a little break, I've got shit to do today.

4:57: Bottom of the 9th, Birds5-Sox0. Let's see if a little magic happens. Ooh catcher drops an easy one. Very suspicious here and the pitcher Guthrie is gone, wow you think they would let him close this out with 90 something pitches.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

5:28: Incredible scequence of events, basically the O's choked big time. I am in shock.......Sox-6 Birds-5. Weird Game and even weirder Running Game Diary, but hey who cares?

as a Yankee fan i often wonder: Why Is Giambi Always Soaking Wet?

i mean, he is usually the DH, so is it the Dep Styling Gel wet look?

or is he doing something else between at bats?

it's the only worthwhile discussion in the world

I Don't Think I Even Need To Post About It, You Already Know What's Gone Down In The Bronx Today!!!

If Wake Pitched in a Dome He'd be One of the Best in the Majors

How's that for fuckin' unreasonable statement!

"Bobby Abreu is so good because he has the lightest grip with his left hand in the league. He grips the bat like a pianist."

- did i really just hear Tim McCarver explain that there is a nerve center just above the elbow that can be very sensitive??? seriously, and what the fuck is with this Tim McCarver u.s. domination map???

- and i am blaming Buck and McCarver for breaking up Wang's perfect game. especially McCarver, motherfucker been talking about the perfect game since the fourth inning. i think he's jinxing on purpose... thanks again, dynamic duo.

Remember Us?

Just look into the Babe's eyes...motherfucker was a good pitcher too...for the Sox that is...didn't have many starts in pinstripes.

lookout, sammy! who knew you were still in the major leagues?

sweeping Texas was a start. now let's see if the Yankees can gain some traction against Seattle.

this was a great double-header. too bad i only got to hear about it. and 2 saves in one day means that Mariano is still one of the best.

These Days

Phil Hughes: Looked really good, like a young Clemens...same delivery, pretty impressive. He goes Kaiser Soze on the Yankees though, yikes you don't just throw everybody a bone like that and disappear for a month and half.

Papelbon: paid $450,000 this year. Rivera: $13mil These salaries will be reversed in 2-3 years.

Got to love these cushy schedules hey Yanks fans? Rangers are very bad this year... Seattle may be worse. Who the hell can tell? It's only May!

A-Rod cooled off a little, Thank God he only heats up in April...he could be really good someday.

Sign that the Apocolypse is near. Yankees have(had) a coach for performance enhancement. This reminds me of when I heard a story about a doctor that worked for the Yankees in the 50's. He wouldn't subscribe uppers to the players so the Yankees fired him and hired a doctor who would. I'm sure the Yanks will be playing awesome for no reason soon.

Jim Rice: is my hero cause he's a badassmotherfucker. I was watching a classic game on NESN and they were showing Nomar's 10 RBI, 2 Grand Slam game. Jim Rice was in the dugout laughing his ass off, I was like what the hell is Jim Rice doing in there. I suspect Jim Rice and Ellis Burks will be hanging in the dugout when they are old just because nobody will kick them out. Anyways, he always acts cool when he's on tv and that is hard to do. Just ask Joe Buck.

i believe in comebacks

The Yankees need to go into Texas and sweep. Not 1 of 3 or 2 of 3. At this point it's all or nothing. I'm not sure exactly what has happened to Steinbrenner, and i don't fully understand the loyalty to Torre- at least not over the past couple of years. The Yankees need an action manager. Steinbrenner needs to rehire Billy Martin, again, and just set his urn on the bench and see how well he does... I'm sure it couldn't be any worse. (and yes, an urn would be more active than Torre at this point)
