    Games like tonight are what reallly piss me off about this team.
    Scott F'n Feldman??? First ever win on the road. As I said earlier,...if you are a shitty player or shitty team play the Yankees and your streak will snap.

    Cano and Melky really need to start playing ball instead of with each other.

    EV - 5

    I don't think Derek will be there. I'm sure there'll be former players. You do baseball related stuff.

    there'll be video batting cages. Pitching. Trivia challenge. Free autographs from Major League legends.

    I turned on the game late, and saw him at the plate. I had no idea they brought him up. I like it. 4th OF, pinch runner, and he could very well take melky's job away

    He has good speed. And they also brought up david Robertson. I missed his appearance on Sunday. I couldn't watch the Yanks not score. They keep screwing with Rasner. He pitches well and they don't give him runs. And now Mussina pitches a good game and no offense. They're gonna need to pick it up. This is a very important week.

    nice offensive outburst this evening! Sweet!
    And then we play Boston!

    What is up with this Tampa Bay thing though?

    And what's up with A-Rod and Madonna?

    We should thank Tampa. They got deep into the Sox bullpen tonight. 5 pitchers worked 3 innings tonight. Soften em up, even if they were already pretty soft.

    yeah, where the eff was all that effing offense the previous two games in this series?

    and tampa bay doesn't bother me. i've seen better teams choke at the end of the season. they won't last.

    I think they'll be around all year, as long as their fragile pitching holds up. They're good, but not deep. if Kazmir goes down, they'll be in trouble, unless Price is ready.

    maybe they started hitting b/c Steinbrenner told them to? :)

    Tampa Bay has been sticking around for a while though. Stranger things have happened. Like the Sox winning after86 yrs!

    this team is so jeckyll and hyde this season, it's maddening.

    and i'm not saying tampa is a shit team, i just don't think they can hold it for the rest of the regular season. something will give. teams go on streaks (winning and losing).

    It sounds pretty cool! Thanks for the info.
    I saw the brochure that was in today's Post with the listings of the events. They should have a Pearl Jam concert in Central Park instead of Bon Jovi

    I know teams go on streaks :)
    I think they've been doing pretty well this season and to beat Boston like that, it's unbelieveable

    We have too many good hitters to be concerned about some slumps here and there..although it sucks to not capitalize on chances to score runs
    but our pitching has to stay reliable and they have to stay healthy

    They say they might bring him up late in the season.

    I've always said that of PJ playing CP. I was hoping that would be the Big Bold Surprise that never was.

    that would have been amazing.
    Or if they played in Yankee Stadium! Heck I'd even go over to Shea to see them :)

    I just stumbled across his stats so far this year:

    6-0 1.74 ERA 49 K's 13 BB's .218 BAA

    I already picked him up in a fantasy league, but dropped him due to needing the roster spot. i think I'll grab him again

    they had a closed door clubhouse meeting for over 30 mins.

    Blech.


    Edit: Did you guys see this post game coverage with Joe! He sounds SUPER pissed! Whoa!
    He was dogging out someone named Joel, a reporter? Is that Sherman from the Post or somebody else?
