Our next live video chat will be today at 4 p.m. … as in a few minutes from now.
I will be joined by Sam Borden from the newsroom of The Journal News to discuss the upcoming Red Sox series and whatever else you would like to talk about.
Go to www.LoHud.com/protalklive to participate and ask questions.
Any updates on Hairston????
Where can we ask questions?
there is nothing on the screen to enable questions. where do we go to ask questions?
No need to be psychotic Yanks4Life. Take your meds.
Just click on ‘watch it live’ on the ride of the screen.
Welcome to the new Soviet LoHud?
And that would be ‘right’ not ride.
In Soviet LoHud the Blog posts YOU!
too bad i can’t read lips
On 24 September, 2001, outfielder Tuffy Rhodes hit his 55th home run of the season, tying Sadaharu Oh’s NPB record.
Rhodes was the Chicago Cubs opening day center fielder in 1994 and the Cubs leadoff batter against the Mets, and hit three homers that day. He finished the season with 7.
Oh, yeah. The pitcher that gave up the record tying 55th homer was Daisuke Matsuzaka.
Hopefully Sam is doing the chat with Pete because he will be the one taking over the blog for him.
Hopefully Sam, but only if he becomes the beat writer. If he stays as a columnist but takes over the blog, the blog won’t be as good.
Stay classy Yanks4Life
Is it soup yet?
Pat M and Bodh, thanks so much!
PETE- Which playoff team has the greatest home field advantage?
100 pitches of fun…

Pirates claimed RHP Anthony Claggett off waivers from the New York Yankees

What do you know our AAAA team strikes again lol
Betsy, happy birthday.
Yanks4Life -jesus, its not that big of a deal…..
Betsy, I fear by the time this posts it will no longer be your birthday! But they will stick it in at the 4:36 time slot. But since it won’t show up for quite a while, you will never see that at 4:36 I wished you a happy birthday!
GRRR!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BETSY!!!
Tom, if you hav en’t seen it already, I give my highest recommendation to a Germen film from a couple years ago called “The Blogs of Others”. It’s about blogging in East Germany in the 1980′s. Excellent film.
The Pirates claimed pitcher Anthony Claggett off waivers from the Yankees, according to a press release. The Yanks had designated him for assignment ten days ago. Claggett, a 25-year-old righty, was acquired by the Yanks from Detroit in the Gary Sheffield deal in November of ’06. Upon reaching Triple A this year, Claggett’s strikeout rate took a large drop to 4.7 per nine innings.
LOL
i didnt realize diet coke is funding this.
Fear not Yankees, if you are released you will go to the Pirates, that is where all released Yankees go.
Message from Trisha-
Happy Birthday Betsy!
Thanks, Nick. For some reason or another, I’m fascinated by ‘life behind the Iron Curtain’ stories, films and literature. Well, most, if not all, Russian literature. Thanks again.
Oh and I have seen the Lives of Others…
Tom: kidding aside, have you seen the actual movie I’m referencing?
who won the prizes?
I did.
Season tickets. Thanks Pete.
Can someone catch me up? Did I hear that right, is Pete leaving?
Happy Birthday Betsy!
i asked the question below which pete said was a great question (and wrote my name down) but not sure how the voting goes or how the winner(s) get notified…
[Comment From sab]
pete/sam 7th game of the WS – bases loaded 2 outs yankees down by 1 run – who do you want up at bat if you are girardi?
we’ll see..
Ah, good. There was another film, the title escapes me, about a woman from pre-’89 East Germany who goes into a coma and comes out years later and her family tries to keep up the facade of the lifestyle for her. Or something like that, I might be mixed up on the details. Not as good as “The Lives of Others”, but still of some interest.
“Can someone catch me up? Did I hear that right, is Pete leaving?”
traded to Boston for a writer to be named later.
Never mind, my co-worker explained it to me. Thanks anyway.
who won the prize
Pete,
Who wins the prizes?

Oh my goodness gracious, Happy Birthday Betsy!
Happy Birthday Dear Betsy

As long as GB7 is here we’re safe.
I won the prize today. I get to sit in the box with the Steinbrenner brothers and watch the Yankees – Red Sox ALCS.
Tom, Trisha (via Erica), DT, Nick (or is that Suzyn Waldman?), Bronx Born, Randy (a song, too!)…..thank you! I hope I haven’t missed anyone! I’m going out for a nice steak dinner tonight – nothing like a good steak and potatoes.
I will reveal my birthday wish for the first time on this blog……….I just want to be able to chill and enjoy the Yankees instead of worrying about them. That’s it – that’s not too much to ask, is it?
Randy and GB, we’re not getting older, we’re getting better. For me, though, this blog is like the Picture of Dorian Gray. Whenever I post, I get a little bit younger……
betsy
Happy Birthday.
I sincerly hope you get your wish.
The chat was great but I missed the plugs for Friederich Air Conditioning. They added a certain cache’.
betsy, I don’t know you well but happy birthday.
Oops sorry Betsy, Happy Birthday!
May your steak be prime cut-dry aged and your potatoes be creamy! Unless it’s baked of course.
MRI on Jerry Hairston’s left wrist showed tendinitis; he had a cortisone shot and is day-to-day, the Yankees say.

Sean, if your prize included a +1, will you bring your buddy matt?
Oh Besty, how I wish this would show up in real time! I think I could definitely help you out with your chillin wish!!!

Maine, for a 75 year old, you’re getting a little out of hand with your remarks. Crusty is a good word to describe you.
This eve: Over- Ole Miss/SC 53.
Betsy: Happy Birthday.

Betsy, Have a Happy Birthday!!!! make a wish for Hughes in the rotation in 2010 haha!!!!! Enjoy your day!!!!!

Still waiting on Cash to hook us up. Might be waiting a long time.
Happy Birthday, Betsy.
Maine, Bronx, Sean, GB, Dennis, RMEL – thank you! Everyone is so sweet……I appreciate the birthday wishes.
Bronx, the steak is absolutely prime and dry-aged. However, the potatoes are crusty as we usually get well-done hash browns. Yum.
Carl, thanks for the info. It could have been worse with Jerry, but then Tex’ tendonitis lasted for a month, so who knows?
The problem with that pick, dennis, is that if I play it, I’m more likely to watch the game. And if I watch the game I’m more likely to be exposed to Spurrier being referred to as ‘the ol’ ball coach’ or some variation thereof.
Is it worth it?
I’m not sure.
Hairston day-to-day with tendinitis.
Trish – I’m going to try and be proactive and help my wish along. I am determined to enjoy this playoff run and not be so negative.
RMEL, LOL
Christina, thank you!

Dry-aged? Crusty? I thought you might be talking about food, but, then realized that you were describing Randy and Maine.
Nick.
Hope you are having a good week. Tough day for silver.
I agree but I like the over. Your call. I am pounding it.
GB7.
Hope you are well. Amy’s folks left the island today after a 4 day visit. The drinks taste pretty good right now!

Afternoon, Dennis. Yeah, doing fine here. No rain, finally. Thanks for asking. Hope you and Ms Amy are doing great, also. It is amazing how well good liquor and fine wines tastes when nobody’s counting how many you’re sampling.
Nick, matt is supposedly posting comments through some one else. Like this post, watch…. Hey every one, George(made up name) said he wants to give his best wishes to every one but he can’t be here right now.
Hi, fine article, you posted all the same if you don’t mind I’d impart few notes around approaches young ladies or men. Especially it can be hard when it occurs to man woman relationships. The essential matter is your mental attitude, which should be attached and open. If you have an position like that, any individual shouldn’t experience any troubles that you have speechmaking as viewing. When you offset a conversation, you normally need to demand safe wonders that are confident not to cause her any irritation. Once the conversation goes some momentum, you can ask more physical questions. A good illusion is to memorize some interrogations she made a point of so whenever the conversation slows down, you can mention one of these questions.
Hi nice post. I consider these angles might be utilizable too. Now the good pick up describes are the ones that flatter the woman. Right Away several of the lines might just be in all pleasant fun to help discover the ice. That is main and it can at long last lead to landing up in bed with her at the end of the night. Heck what man doesn’t want that, but knowing what to articulate and how to pull it off can take a bit of practice. A rattling pick up note will have you in the door but from there you have to be assured sufficient to maintain the conversation running.
