Hard-throwing right-hander Romulo Sanchez is here, but he said he has no idea what his role might be. Sanchez said he might be pitching out of the bullpen.
What this means for Andy Pettitte is uncertain, but it doesn’t seem to be good news for him.
UPDATE, 4:10 p.m.: Or maybe it’s not bad news for Pettitte after all. Greg Golson is nowhere to be found. Looks like that was the move.
Pat posted a Heyman link indicating that Andy was going to be skipped; it’s absolutely the right move. These players need to be protected from their own competitive instincts, lol
SI_JonHeyman hear pettitte is lobbying not to miss a turn. but his #yankees bosses arent listening. they will skip him 1 turn.
YankeesWFAN ARod on Braden: “It’s tempting to sit back here and go back and forth with the media for the next three months but I’m not gonna do that.”
No reason to DL Jorgie…he was taking BP today, he’s fine! Like people already said they weren’t going to play him tonight and tomorrow afternoon, might as well PH hit him tonight if they need his stick and get him going for good tomorrow. If they were worried than a 3rd catcher would have been the move today, not Sanchez

===========================================================
Perhaps what they are doing with Posada?
YankeesWFAN More ARod: “The one thing I’ve focused on over the last year is to focus on the guys on this team…and I think that’s paid dividends.”
Ledger_Yankees Vazquez’s pen has been moved back to Saturday… I hear the rotation going forward may be different but I’ve got no details.
LOL Alex – I love it!
Wave, good point about getting Po an extra day’s rest.
Why do people complain simply to complain? Good grief.
=======================================
FOR ATTENTION.
With that lineup the yankees are going to need a shut out to win tonight, luckily they have Hughes going
/reversal
I hope the Yankees run more this series and really put the pressure on the Sox pitchers.
Gardner, Jetes, Winn, Alex get your track shoes on. Time to pad those SB stats.
Fran (the original) is the new GTLU win leader, by herself, with 10! Congratulations. For more details, click on my name. Use the navigation bar to get to GTLU for standings, and BLOG for today’s winning lineup, the winners and a list of those who participated.
I thought I recalled Girardi saying on Wednesday that should the need arise, Jorge could have caught. He says he likes to give an extra day after a player says he’s good to go.
I’m not sure this move really means anything much in regards to Pettitte.
We already know that he’s almost guaranteed to miss one start. Mitre is starting in his place and was burned for this weekend anyways because he pitched a few innings on Wednesday.
Having an extra pitcher for a series at Fenway is never a bad idea.
I don’t see this as anything more than what we already know – Mitre is going to start for Pettitte against the Tigers.
I’m not one of those who criticize people for criticizing the lineup, but given that Jorge can’t play tonight and tomorrow both this lineup is as strong as the Yanks can field against a righty.
much ado about nothing
“I’m not sure this move really means anything much in regards to Pettitte.”
The biggest impact of the Pettitte health issue is that is buys Vazquez more time to get straightened out. Probably at least 3-5 more starts.
Ledger_Yankees Posada thinks he’s in tomorrow. Says his calf is fine after warming up. Can catch and swing. Running could be an issue.
BryanHoch Jorge Posada says he hopes to play Saturday vs. Red Sox.
# SJ44 May 7th, 2010 at 4:10 pm
Girardi’s philosophy with an injured player (non-DL variety) has always been giving him an extra day when the player says he’s ready.
If Jorge needed to be DL’ed, they would have called up Moeller.
If Jorge played tonight, he wouldn’t have played tomorrow. Day game after night game.
Seems to me, they feel he is good to go tomorrow and will play tomorrow and Sunday night.
If needed, he can catch tonight or he wouldn’t be available.
Not every injury requires a DL stay.
In Sanchez’s case, it means Mitre starts in Detroit on Tuesday, and they skip Pettitte a turn, and Sanchez is the long man until the middle of next week when they see how Pettitte is feeling.
Once you step away from the ledge, relax and think, these moves are pretty easy to figure out.
As far as the lineup whiners, you have made fools out of yourselves for the last two years with the constant complaining about the lineup. Why should today be any different?
=====================================================
I copied this for sanity’s sake.
I venture to guess there would be at least twice as many fans in here if more people had the perspective this guy has.
Bridgejumpers, do yourself and others a favor, JUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ledger_Yankees “Once it gets loose it’s fine.” Posada on his mild right calf strain.
I missed that post, so I’m glad you copied it, Mick.
CR9 – did i really read a comment of yours that called Chad “HOT…..like Wayne Rooney”??
I’m surprised Chad has let you stay on here!!!
Now, I’ve already concluded your eyesight isn’t 20-20, judging by the one-eyed way you view balls/strikes during Yankee games, but, Rooney? Really?
He couldn’t look more English council-house, fish+chip fed, pasty, ginger and facially-challenged if he was trying to… Brilliant footballer, undeniable, but hot? sheesh…
Why is Joe West one of the umps for this series ? I don’t understand why West, CB Bucknor, and Marty Foster aren’t fired by now.
PS – apologies to any ginger-haired people on here, that was uncalled for
The last time we had the SAME people declare a Yankee pitcher had to pitch a shutout to overcome Girardi’s “awful” lineup, they scored 12 runs.
I’m not saying they are going to score 12 runs tonight.
However, when the manager of the team now has a record of 122-67 since last season, you gotta think he knows what he is doing with the lineups.
Joe West is dead serious about getting to The Cheesecake Factory on time.
Joe West isnt working this series. Unless they changed the umps. An article this morning listed who the umps were, and West wasnt one of them.

====================================
Sarcasm? It was meant for you. Just trying to do my part to improve the blog. Thanks.
This isn’t a critical series. The Yankees are playing .700 baseball. There is no reason to push Jorge Posada in any way.
It was very unlikely he would play all three games of the series. As Wave is stating it makes sense to hold him out of this game.
The Sanchez move is interesting. Clearly it’s in preparation for Mitre starting Tuesday. Melancon can’t be recalled. Nova last pitched on May 3. Not sure if they would want to test him out of the pen given his usual work schedule in the triple A rotation.
Would rather see Sanchez up here than Albaladejo again.

not a complaint but a question. I trust Joe
Whats the thinking behind Brett not batting ninth?
I’m surprised that MLB would allow West to umpire a game featuring two teams that he’s been highly critical of. They are asking for controversy.
The best part of that nonsensical Sherlock Holmes movie was the repeated use of the phrase ‘ginger dwarf’.
At long last my GTLU losing streak has been broken!!!!
Our long national crisis is over!!!!!
maybe its the end for robertson
Whats the thinking behind Brett not batting ninth?
–
Maximizes chances for Brett to get RBI opportunities with his high BA / likelihood of reaching base vs maximizing the chances he will be on base for Jeter (essentially, most of the times the 9th hitter would reach for the leadoff batter will be in 1 or 2 out situations).
“although, I can?t say I blame him for wanting to get to The Cheesecake Factory.”

The Cheesecake Factory is sooooooooo overrated!
(Oh and guess is who finally home from semi-annual hair day!!!)
One of these days I’m going to The Cheesecake Factory and actually order the cheesecake!!! (Instead of a meal, of course).
Some Sox fans are such blind homers. If they really think they are going to swep this series then they have been drinking too much of the Theo Epstein cool-aid and they are reading too much into beating a pathetic Mickey Mouse Angels team. If they think they can run through Hughes, Sabathia, and Burnett like a knife through butter than they will be surprised.
Jerkface, I’ll buy that for dollar.
Um, no it was not sarcasm -too bad you took it like that. Whatever.
west wasnt listed as one of the umps.
I wasn’t home for GTLU today, and I would have gotten it right, but my hair won’t frizz this summer…lol.
Hi Erica -
You were one of today’s GTLU winners!
West is really working the series ? That’s unbelievable.

only thing i can think of is that gardy is a better hitter than winn or cervelli but i do understand the double lead off angle
Erica
I told you was just in a slump.
Just keep on winning series. I don’t care about win streaks. If they win every odd series and split the evens, that’s 100 wins.. The occasional sweep makes up for a lost series.
Just saw the Swisher/Bucholz ESPN commercial again. The Sox even make me lose my appreciation for Neil Diamond. “No way man”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mk-5aYRNLUo
West isn’t working this series.
Disappointing that A-Rod is being so passive about the Braden thing.
He needs to go after Braden the way Braden went after him. Braden showered him with insults about how he is an individualistic player and is selfish, and how he has no respect for the game and is nothing like his captain, and how he is a fool, and he implied he wants to fight him, etc.
Time for A-Rod to throw insults back. I want A-Rod to make some joke about Braden’s teeth. He also needs to reference how he is a under .500 career pitcher who is not a a speck on A-Rod’s radar and it would mean more from someone who was actually good at baseball. He also needs to mock Braden for wanting to fight him. Also needs to mention that Braden is the one who is the individual because he is threatening to fight and get a suspension and hurt his team’s chances as a result over something this dumb.
Come on A-Rod… break the silence, let’s put Braden in his place.
Dano
LOL
Rooney is not hot, but he’s cute in a cutie patootie sort of way. I love Roo! He’s my little Roo Bear!!
He’s certainly not hot in a Cesc/Andrei Arshavin way!!! I could eat Andrei up like chocolate chip cookies!!! DELICIOUS!
“Joe West isnt working this series. Unless they changed the umps. An article this morning listed who the umps were, and West wasnt one of them.”
Thank God!
Rays are playing the Dallas Braden-led A’s this weekend, then play the Angels.
Erin -
We’ve share a piece. But that usually means we have to agree on which kind. So one day I want to just order a piece for me!!! We did get it to go once when my family was here from California and Florida (back in October). it’s better out, though.

CR9 – Do you consider Theo attractive? What about Jon Henry?
“I’m surprised that MLB would allow West to umpire a game featuring two teams that he’s been highly critical of. They are asking for controversy.”
The Joe West is umpiring this series thing is just an urban legend.
That said, I’m certain MLB has a schedule set for the umpiring crews for the entire season. They will not alter it. If Joe West is scheduled to umpire a series against the Yankees and/or Red Sox this season, he will. That is a virtual certainty.

Mike, you couldn’t be more wrong. If Alex lowers himself down to Braden’s level, he’ll just get killed for it. No one will applaud him for standing up for himself. Lest you forget that he is the most hated man in baseball. He could find a cure for cancer and still get slammed for it.
AndrewMarchand A-Rod responds for to Braden. Tries to take high road, but takes a dig at Braden nonetheless. ESPNNewYork.com for more. #Yankees, #A-Rod

Andrew Merchand is a giant d0-che.
Erica – I highly disagree!! Their salads are soooo good. The Luau salad is my favorite ( and I’m not pretending that its healthy lol) I practically lived at the Cheesecake Factory during college.
West should never come within sniffing distance of the Sox or Yankees……..

I disagree. ARod is acting like the grown up here, taking the higher road. And he still got a shot in there – one of the tweets said he said:

NYY626 –
I always order a half salad. I’ve tried a couple of them and not been disappointed.
I want to see another Yankee with an impeccable reputation cross “Braden’s mound”, someone like Derek
If all Alex said were those two comments, then how on EARTH could Marchand conclude that he took a dig?

Hi Erica -
You were one of today’s GTLU winners!
************
The one round I put absolutely no thought into I win. LOL
I just had a hunch Girardi would rest Posada one more day and avoid sitting him tomorrow for the day after a night game
And I believe I may have had the first GTLU submission ever from a hair salon. It was not easy to do
LOL I hadn’t heard the 15 minutes quote – Alex is on a roll today
A question for those roster rule experts out there – Moeller is not on the 40 man, so if they bring him up someone has to go off the 40 man. I know Christian Garcia is hurt (again) – can he be put on the 60 day DL even though he was in the minor leagues? There is something in the back of my mind that says they can’t do that, but I’m not sure.
Assuming that is the case – who goes off the 40 man if they need to bring up a catcher? Could they DFA Garcia even if he is hurt? If not, who would go?
“15 minutes of fame” is a dig

compared to Wally Matthews, Andrew Marchand looks like George Will.
‘Second leadoff batter’ only works when you field an A+ lineup. If Granderson and Posada replace Winn/Cervelli then it makes sense to bat Brett 9th because the lineup would be so potent anyways.
All Alex had to say was “I look like a supermodel, and Braden looks like he got hit in the head with the ugly stick too many times!!”

I got a Keratin procedure which worked very well last summer. My hair is very fine and gets really frizzy. I paid too much. I live in Westchester. They said they don’t charge me as much as some people because I am a very good customer and my hair isn’t that long. My daughter-in-law who has lots of curly hair gets in done in LI. They still live in the City, but not for long.
got ya Betsy
I think Thames should be starting over Winn.
Winn looks silly at the plate and Thames hits the fastball pretty hard. A righty with that wall in left field just seems like a better move to me. Not to mention that Winn can’t seem to hit and Thames is mashing the ball.
I guess we’ll see how the move pans out. Other than that, great lineup. You guys who are complaining need to take a step back and look at the lineup.
Erica -
All of the chains start to get tedious. TGIF, Applebee’s, all of ‘em. We don’t go to CCF very often, so maybe that’s why I still like that one.
The funny part is, it’s the sick loser media members who asked Alex the question, and when he responds, they claim he made a “dig”
He was merely answering your question, you effing fools!

I usually will get the fried mac & cheese appetizer and the bbq ranch chicken salad. And skip the cheesecake.
I pretty much lived at TGI Fridays during my college years. Probably another reason why I am so against going there now
Prediction 1: Hughes will pitch a good game tonight, Beckett not as good, but decent. Game will be decided in the 7th or 8th inning (which is likely to be around 10:45).
Prediction 2: Beginning around 7:15pm, the LoHud blog will be overun by a series of posters complaining about the umpires. A large majority of these posters will be fact be one person posting under multiple screennames, agreeing with himself.
The last thing Alex needs to do is to get into a war of words with a scrub pitcher.
That accomplishes nothing.
Braeden can back up his talk the next time they play the Yankees.
Alex just needs to play his game. The rest of this stuff is just noise.

Hughes going tonight. He has been phenomenal all year but mostly against some less than potent offenses (O’s, A’s Chi-Sox). Has he finally turned the corner and become the prospect everyone has raved about or is he benefiting from facing some less than great hitting?
Jayson Stark
This is clearly a test of where he’s at. But it’s hard to argue with 10 hits allowed in 25 innings — against three major-league teams. It’s not like he did that in the New York-Penn League. He’s made big strides, I think. He has three “plus” pitches, and he’s barely even using the change-up, which he worked on all spring. Looks like the real deal to me.

Jim Nantz is a Patriots schill….
Joe Buck doesn’t call many Patriots games, but he was rooting for them when he called SB 42 a couple of years ago… he called that game on FOX where they hung 52 on the Redskins and were throwing the ball 40 yards downfield with a 40 point lead in the 4th quarter and Buck was applauding them….

“YankeesWFAN Girardi says aiming for Pettitte to pitch in Twins series next weekend.”
Like I said yesterday, mark Pettitte down for May 15th or 19th so he misses not batting in the Mets series. So right now it looks like the 15th.

I have a serious weakness for that place…they give you basically a big brown paper bag full of fries and I can never stop eating them.
Fries at Nathans.
I pay 15 bucks with tip for my cuts – its a crap shoot.
Mitre and Vazquez go up against Dontrelle Willis and Porcello
And then we have to face Verlander on Thursday. That is going to be a very tough game, even with CC on the mound. Both are excellent pitchers.
Only game where we have an advantage is Wednesday with Hughes vs. Bonderman
Conspiracy
Right on!!!!
The Pats made a mockery of Joe Gibbs! And they were laughing!
Even Phil Simms, former Super Bowl Giant, is a Pats schill.
Such is life, what can you do!!!!!!!!!!!
Mitre/Vazquez switch probably has something to do with Mitre throwing a few innings the other day.

I guess we’ll see how the move pans out. Other than that, great lineup. You guys who are complaining need to take a step back and look at the lineup.

Does anyone else find this post funny?
AROD is taking the high road and does not owe anyone a response to Braden’s comments. Some of the veteran leadership on the A’s should be putting Braden in his place. I’m wondering what Chavez thinks about the possibility of getting drilled because of that dirtbags comments.
mick came here looking for the meaning of life.

sorry, bro.
Very exciting pitching matchup tonight
2 fireballers from Texas who are 6’5″ and throw in the mid 90s with a crazy hook and have mean streaks with quiet confidence and fire.
What did Orel say?
Erica that’s a lot.
I have never seen a 5 Guys either in Westchester or on any of the highways we take from AZ.
@Ledger_Yankees Did they give a reason for pushing Vaz back a day? // lined up for subway series. good hitting pitcher
“Heinsohn, looks and acts like a murderer. He complains about the referees all game, every game. Does that sound familiar?”
Sounds like every other Boston announcer – Orsillo, Nantz, Heinson, and whoever calls the Bruins games.
Quick question regarding Braden….if this was some unwritten rule being broken, why is it being talked about so much?
If this was Gibson or someone of that ilk, it would have been settled between the lines in an unwritten sort of way.
I’m glad to see the Yanks add a pitcher. They didn’t really need a 5th outfielder, especially because Pena could play outfield in a pinch.
SAS,
if you’re in Westchester, you’ll have to take the TZ over to Nanuet.
LoHud also suggests you visit Stiletto.

What did Orel say?
====================
who is this guy to be saying all this…unwritten rules go from elders to youngers, superstars to newbies etc, not in the reverse. you should have heard him…very calm, composed and not in favor of dallas
he 100% supports alex’s position

Because Braden just wants his fifteen minutes of fame, like Alex said.

Yeah, I know. I have started doing hair cuts semi-annually as well. LOL. There’s only one person I trust with my hair after a ridiculously bad (but cheap) hair cut a few years ago. But she is unfortunately, very expensive.
However, when they wash your hair their they totally massage your scalp. And that is so nice and relaxing that I always find it worth it just for that!
Erica…
I paid more than you did today, but I don’t pay what you do for haircuts.
Mike
It’s Jack Edwards and Andy Brickley for NESN, and for NBC, it’s Pierre Maguire and Mike Milbury, that just complain about referees for their Bruins!

A-Rod talking about the Braden thing. Pretty funny.

I get my hair cut every 6 weeks so it keeps its shape. I don’t and have never had gorgeous long hair
Girardi is on YES and the FAN
Arod should just forget about Braden, and so should everyone else.
“Girardi is on YES and the FAN”
How often does he get his haircut? My bet is daily.
Ledger_Yankees Andy not pleased about being pushed back to MIN series. “I’m not very happy at all.” Said he would have liked chance to show he could go.

Tommy Heinsolm has a SMOOTH voice? Compared to whom?
Heinshon is the worst – such a homer. I remember the year that the Celtics won like 12 games a couple years ago, Heinshon was so sure that they were going to get Oden in the lottery and be a title contender the following year, and he said Rondo would be the best PG in the NBA the following year and be like Jason Kidd. Also talked up their mediocre role players at the time like Gerald Green and others, who are now out of the league, and said they could be key reserves to their title contender with Oden. Also said Pierce would go to the HOF if he stayed healthy for another 3-4 years!!!!
They didn’t get Oden… and it was priceless seeing Ainge and Rivers’ face in the green room when they ended up with the 5th pick! But, alas, the NBA gifted them with something even better – KG. His buddy McHale decided to help his old team out by trading their franchise player to them and Stern was thrilled hat he revived the Boston team. Let’s see Stern, the Knicks fan, help the Knicks this summer, but he won’t. He got Boston back on the map so his work is done.
Ok, I’m done ranting. Go Yankees!!!
The Romulo Sanchez callup is understandable with Chan Ho Park still on the DL.
This series will likely feature the bullpens and Greg Golson wouldn’t be used much, if at all. With the poor throwing of the Boston catchers, Gardner and Ramiro Pena can handle the speed factor.
Heinson makes Hawk Harrelson look like a White Sox hater.
Taking a nap before the game
Sadly, I wake up much earlier for semi-annual hair day than I do for work.
There are clearly, lots of imperfections with semi-annual hair day
The reason for the Mitre/Javy switch is kind of simple. If Pettitte only misses one pass through the rotation by switching Mitre/Javy, you have your rotation back in order.

Please! Continue ranting! I couldnt have enjoyed that rant any more!
By the way, to respond to your Stern comment, Stern has already said that “Lebron should stay in Cleveland”
LOLOLOLOLOLOL Aint that grand!!! David Celtic Stern!!!
He should want the Knicks to be revived, but nope!
Bullseye-
If you were referring to Beckett and Hughes you missed the target.
Hughes is from California.
Keep practicing.

A general baseball note – why are the Cubs calling up Starlin Castro? What sense does that make?
The team is floundering. Ok. Let’s call up our 20 year top prospect from AA because we have a long track record with handling prospects the right way and Lou Pinella will be patient with his inevitable struggles?
Jim Hendry is a puzzle. Perhaps he’s ready. But very few 20 years olds are, especially at a middle infield position.

If my name was ‘Dallas Braden’, the last thing I would want to do is call attention to myself.
I’m glad Andy is upset, but it was the right thing to do….
“A general baseball note ? why are the Cubs calling up Starlin Castro? What sense does that make?”
I think that they are trying to give the impression that they are actually doing something.
“I?m glad Andy is upset, but it was the right thing to do?.”
And deep down, he knows that. It just doesn’t make him feel any better about it.
Because they are the cubs I guess…why do they take their opening day starter (a guy they have to have to win) and stick him in the pen after 2 weeks…the only thing the cubs no how to do is sell beer at Wrigley…they are really good at that.
“I’m glad Andy is upset, but it was the right thing to do….”
I would be disappointed if Pettitte wasn’t upset.
I suspect when we see Pettitte’s full quote, it’ll come off a lot softer.. there’ll be a “I understand why, but…” in there…
So true about Sterling Castro.
The one thing they have that’s closest to a ‘sure thing’, and do the one thing that could screw it up.
In the end, I guess it really doesn’t matter. Their fan base is in for the long haul, no matter what.
OldHossRadbourn NY media defeats Boston media 20-3 in Fenway Park. The Boston media’s decision to focus on “run prevention” looks like a poor one indeed.

Blake-
What are you still doing here ?
I thought you were on your Honeymoon.
Also, it means that Andy knows (or believes, anyway) that he’s ok……..
MTU,
Shhhh…ok ok I’m gone.
Girardi pretty much said the other day he was going to be very conservative with is veterans and sometimes that means sitting them even if they don’t want to. He’s not letting it be their call, and this is good, because none of those guys is ever going to want to sit.
Blake-
“Shhhh…ok ok I’m gone.”
Damn you boy.
Keep your priorities straight !
Rishi…
Chad had a whole thread about the game, and how well he played. You might enjoy it.
Joe T. used to sit guys who had the sniffles.
Joe G. isn’t so bad in comparison.
The Cubs really are an odd franchise. They put Felix Pie on the end of a yo yo and that didn’t particularly help. They gave Smardijza 10M and couldn’t decide what to do with him.
They just aren’t run in a baseball savvy way. And the pattern is likely to continue with Castro.

Yay – Hughes gets to hit!
The Mets game would be his first interleague start.

Whoa I knew fans would forget what he did last postseason at the first hint of controversy, but I didn’t think it’d be THIS quick.
Dude can’t catch a break, no wonder he doesn’t give a **** anymore what people think of him.
I really hope we have a rainout sometime during the next week or so. 17 games in a row, especially when we are nicked up, is wayy too much. We need to break it up somehow.
Hughes pitched in Miami, Atlanta, and Citi Field last year, but it was mostly in relief of Wang. Don’t think he got a chance to hit in any of those games.
The time is now to put Boston back down where they belong. Sweep them after they got LAA to absolutely LAY DOWN for them. They won’t recover. First step is to put one of the biggest horse’s arses in the game out early, our friend Joshey !
Whatever A-Rod.

Perhaps if you stopped with your BS complaining and read his entire quote, he said over the last year.
Today is May 7th. He didn’t come back to play until May 8th of 2009 and I’d say what he did during that span really did pay huge dividends. This team doesn’t win the WS without A-Rod. Period.
So either you’re simply a whiner or an A-Rod hater. Either way, maybe you should sit back and watch this team play and stop the complaining. Maybe you’ll learn something.
Ding, ding ding, we have a winner for dumbest post of the day! The Arod hater!
You can tell grammar school is out for the day.
The rest of his classmates who will post gibberish in here all night have a tough one to top.
Can it be done? Time will tell.
GF – or maybe they’re just describing what they have accomplished with their life.
A-Rod has 2 HRs this year. He looks like Giambi out there towards the end.
He better pick it up and he better pick it up soon. He isin’t getting paid $300 million dollars a year to hit like Melky Cabrera. If he doesn’t start hitting soon (more HRs especially), there is going to be trouble.
SJ,
Sadly, the stupidity is multiplied ten-fold playing against the Red Sox this weekend.
I personally can’t stand these series’ because too many people (and the media) go way overboard about pretty much everything.
I’m always happy when a series like this is over. Too much BS.
Thank you all for sharing your hair cut and color news. Some years ago my kids recommended Greecian Formula to me. Sadly the tips of grey are now all grey. For you older set, does anyone remember Duke Snider advertising for that product?
Right here in River City?

Hi
SJ.
Bad mouthing me again?
A-Rod gets paid $300 million a year? Who knew?
Gotta love the “he’d better do this or else” threats. I guess George M. Steinbrenner III is reading the blog these days.
The community is being compromised from within.
“He better pick it up and he better pick it up soon”. Or what, are you going to hold your breath and turn blue?
Last year at this time, he hadn’t even played yet.
He isn’t getting paid 300 million a year to hit like Melky Cabrera”.
“He isn’t getting paid 300 million a year. Perhaps mommy can read you his contract off the Cots website.
What kind of “trouble” is there going to be? Are you going to tell Dallas Braden on him.
You are a moron. Go away.

You hear that Alex you better start hitting homeruns. First Dallas says he’ll kick your butt now some poster on lohud. Watch it and learn to respect the game.

SJ44 -
Only the sad things is, it’s not necessarily youngsters.
At the game I went to Wednesday, I sat in front of an older couple (older than me) and at one point one of the River Dog players was advancing on an errant throw and he stopped at third base. Well, the guy behind be starts yelling at him – “ya gotta run home on that, kid,” “you don’t even know how to run,” “I got a 10 year old at home who runs better than you.”
I turned around and gave him an icy glare. Said nothing. But he didn’t do it again all game.
We gave our younger son, a color pencil drawing of Duke, the Mick, and Mays signed by them. I was never a Snyder fan because he played for the Dodgers.
Doreen,
How sad. I had a guy at one of my nephew’s games start ripping him because he wouldn’t sign about 30 cards he threw in front of his face, 15 minutes before gametime.
He kept heckling him the entire game and my nephew kept laughing at him.
That got him even angrier! lol Eventually, he just left.
We have some real dumb people who follow sports. All you can do is laugh at them because they are morons.
Thanks Rishi, that was it, Bradenia, haaa!
