    perfect ending for a perfect fucking asshole. Watch, tomorrow will be a blowout one way or the other, and he'll hit one to the courthouse to make it 12-4

    I am as big a Yanks fan as the next guy...but seriously nobody can tell me these guys have ANY heart. Do they ever look enthusiastic?? Do they ever look like the want to win? I'm not even bothered by it anymore bc i don't want to see a team like this in the playoffs. They don't deserve a damn thing.

    he had a good weekend in baltimore. like i said he needs Nady or Matsui batting behind him.

    wouldn't matter if Mickey Mantle was hitting behind him. He's soft. He did it last year, because it was a contract year. I look forward to him delivering in the clutch in 2017. When he came up with the bases loaded, i gegged him to whii and give someone else a shot.

    I can't disagree with anything you said. It's like they automatically stop hitting when someone gets too second base

    some gallows humor---I was listening to the radio for a bit, and John & Susan welcomed a recently returned from space astronaut. Garrett something, he's been on Colbert a few times. So Sterling asks him, matter of factly:

    So, while you're up there, and worries about not making it back home?

    The guy was taken aback a bit, and responded about how they work pretty hard to make sure that doesn't happen

    I say trade him, if only this year was a contract year. I can't Sidney Ponson is still in this league.

    But that wasn't the only year he hit. I think once something becomes magnified. It seems like he's done it for his whole career. Johnny Damon hit 2 solo homers today. If that was Alex you would be on him for that also. I just don't understand the hatred for Alex. In other message boards. Like he's killed someone or ran over children with his car. I would understand if he never did anything. He could be 20 for his next 20 in these situations. Then go into another slump and then he's garbage again. It's not like he wants to make outs.

    it was very noticeable how many people headed for the exits after he swung at the masterson sinker for the inning-ending double play. BTW he's 1-for-10 this year with the bases loaded.
