Final score 8-2 Yanks. The thing i'm worried about is that Seattle has 3 more games than us.

can't believe the D-Rays beat dice-k 3 times.

Seattle up 1-0 on Texas. Let's hope the Rangers saved some runs after that prison rape they put on the O's yesterday.

Boston and the Chi Sox under delay.


Tomorrow nights starters: NYY: R. Clemens (5-5, 3.92) vs. DET: A. Miller (5-4, 4.42)

i can't believe they even waited the 2+ hrs last night before the called the sox/sox game. from the cut-ins it was absolutely pouring.

boston won game 1 today, so the yanks have to keep up.

nice for the yanks that sheff is sitting the series out.

Crips, Bloods out of MLB hat lineup; Yankees denounce caps linked to gang symbols

NEW YORK (AP) -- A lineup of team logo baseball caps denounced as tailor-made for gang members was ordered removed from store shelves by its manufacturer Friday after complaints from baseball officials.

"It has been brought to our attention that some combinations of icons and colors on a select number of our caps could be too closely perceived to be in association with gangs," said Christopher H. Koch, CEO of New Era Cap. "In response, we, along with Major League Baseball, have pulled those caps."


The three styles in question used colors and symbols linked to three gangs: an all-white cap with a blue bandanna, the trademark of the notorious Crips; an all-white cap with a red bandanna worn by the rival Bloods; and a black cap with a gold team logo and an embroidered crown, a symbol favored by the Latin Kings.

"We encouraged and now fully support the decision of cap manufacturer New Era to pull these caps and any others that feature offensive or concerning symbols," read an MLB statement.

The New York Yankees had joined an anti-gang group, Peace on the Street, in denouncing the hats.

Both MLB and the Yankees insisted they were unaware of the symbolism in the cap designs, with the New York team noting they were never given a chance to review the new hats until they were already for sale.

The team was "completely unaware that caps with gang-related logos and colors had been manufactured with the New York Yankees logo on them," said a Yankees statement. "The New York Yankees oppose any garment that may be associated with gangs or gang-related activity."

On Thursday, protesters demonstrated about the new caps outside several Manhattan stores carrying the merchandise. The stores were selling a version of the hats bearing the familiar interlocking "NY" logo of the Yankees.

New Era said it would increase its efforts to ensure it had a better working knowledge of gang symbols, names and locations. The Buffalo-based company has produced hats for Major League Baseball since the 1930s.

having your hats associated with gangland thuggery and violence.

i saw this story today on local news-

coincidentally enough, the hats were all with the interlocking N - Y that we all love , except they had " bands " of plaid colored bandannas rolled up along the hat and interlocking NY . Red and Blue which hold symbolic colors for these gangs.

i never noticed that before and i'm around yankee stadium all the time, which is in an urban area that probably has some of that type of activity.

i've been to my fair share of 2+ hr rain delays / concession money grabs that result in a cancelled game. i just meant it was just so obvious to everyone at the studio and the announcers in the booth that they were not getting that game in.

considering almost every yankee game is a three-hour affair, the 7th should show up at around 12:30 AM..
