Burnett improves, Yanks win fifth in a row

A few hours after getting a good report from Andy Pettitte, the Yankees got another round of positive news on their pitchers as A.J. Burnett broke out of his latest funk. Burnett allowed three runs in six innings to earn his first victory since July 28, and the Yankees beat the A’s, 4-3.
Mark Teixeira drove in three to provide most of the offense on the night, while Derek Jeter singled and scored twice. Joba Chamberlain, Boone Logan, Kerry Wood and – of course – Mariano Rivera got the final nine outs as the Yankees won their fifth straight.
The great Soriano has done it again.
I’m not sure if AJ was good or the A’s offense is bad, or both, but it’s a building block.
SIT DOWN SKURT!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! This piece of crap Skurt Suzuki had the audacity to step out on Mariano Rivera. Hey, Skurt, step out on Josh Beckett and he lays a ball upside your head!
And the Rays win!!! Rays win!!
“Vernon Wells triple keeps hope alive”
I played Vernon Wells last week and he was awful. So I sat him since he’s not known for great hitting on the road – and he’s raking.
I sat Andres Torres last week before he had gone cold the week before. He got 26 fantasy points (that’s a lot) as I sat him – meaning I got nothing. I played him this week and he’s gotten nothing.
Grr!
Pretty good spot to be in having already won the series and CC going tomorrow.
Jays had a chance with Wells on thirs with one out but Adam Lind, who has been one of the worst players in the AL this year, K’d and Buck flies out t oend it.
Good win by the Yankees.
Funny, several posters kept saying they believed AJ would go on a roll in September. I was one of them but I wouldn’t think otherwise!
Well, it’s September!
The guy is inconsistent, but he definitely has the ability to get the job done. So we just keep rolling with him.
GOOD JOB AJ!
Oh Ruby,
It’s sad to see a Sox troll lower themselves to backing the Rays. Have some pride. I know that’s tough for you.
Burnett has a 5.15 ERA this season.
Tonight, he gave up 3 runs in 6 innings. That translates to a 4.50 ERA.
It was only the 4th time all season that his in game ERA was within even a full run in either direction (4.15-6.15) of his 5.15 season ERA.
Rather see Burnett Improves than Burnett Implodes anyday
AJ is consistent, with his inconsistency.
Rich,
Probably a combination of both.
The bullpen is going to be a real strength for this team down the stretch and in the post-season and that could help offset any of the shakier outings from the starters.
Speaking of pizza. If anyone is ever looking for some great pizza in the city, I went to a place last week that has the most authentic Italian pizza I’ve had outside of Italy. It’s called Keste Pizzeria.
John’s on Bleecker St. Is my must stop for pizza when I’m in the city.
However, the best pizza in America is in New Haven.
Sally’s, Pepe’s and Modern Pizza.
“The Sox are losing again and I don’t like it.
I want their fans to keep that last glimmer of hope as long as possible just so they can be crushed at the end”
Jeers, you’re singing my song. I always tell people it’s much more satisfying to watch it go down to the wire and then see them crushed! However, they are winning in Baltimore tonight.
About glimmers of hope. Trust me, they’re still holding on to it. And if the win this game they’ll do so even more.
LGY-
Please don’t sleep on Joe’s just down the block.
(esp. for slices)
SJ-
I think the best pizza out there is at DiFara’s in Brooklyn.
John’s is great.
There are so many great pizza places in the West Village.
“About glimmers of hope. Trust me, they’re still holding on to it. And if the win this game they’ll do so even more.”
Poor Sox… they (potentially) have a nice rally win, overcame Lester’s bad start, and Francona pulled out all stops to win (Lester for 121 pitches, Bard for 2 innings)…. and they gain 0 games because NY and TB won. Still 8 back in the loss, 7 in the WC.
hahaha
Bullpen has been doing a very good job. Joba looking better and pitching with more velocity than we’d seen for a long time.
Wood was a very good pick up. He is giving up more walks than I’d like, as that can come back to bite you, but he seems to do well even with baserunners on.
The bigger problem the Yankees have is that Kay announces far too many games.
I’m actually curious where you had that last good slice of pizza 47 years ago.
————————————
Sure …
My uncle was the all-time greatest pizza conniseur, and he lived in National City (San Diego) at the time. He took me, with his family, to this place on Pacific Ave. right near the Marine Corps Depot. It was one of those little Italian restaurants that no one knows about, except those who know great Italian food. I remember the sauce was like nothing I ever tasted then, or now, and the mushrooms, sausage, cheese, and crust was unbeliveable!
I have had pizza since then that has had equally good cheese, or sauce, or crust, but none have had all ingredients combined as good as that one.
I understand New York pizza is special, hopefully one day I can go out there and try one – the real thing, not some imitation like we have here in L.A. You know, “Right Here, Ladies and Gentlemen, Genuine New York Pizza!” Blah!
No votes for Ray’s?
I just want to see Boston eliminated asap.
Bx is Burning,
Is Joe’s the place with no seats and just those tables you stand at?
New Haven style pizza is good.
DiGiornos is excellent as well
Trisha
It seems that Burnett has been on and off depending on the month. If I recall he had a horrible june but turned around and had a decent july followed by a horrible august. At this rate if he has a decent september we can assume that he will be horrible in october.
“Try it and find out. Its a completely different pizza from their old one.”
I actually didn’t know they changed their product. Hey if it’s better than what they were putting out, it’s worth the try.
We have a Little Caesar’s that just moved in near where I live. For some reason I haven’t had the desire to try it. Eventually I know I’ll do it.
Last night, red sox fans called the season over and football season is their first love. They’ll win tonight and they’ll pull this season out and run the table in the post season behind that stellar pitching staff.
Gotta love the yo-yo affects on the emotions. No wonder they act like idiots. They’re psychotic.
LGY, I have had pizza in a number of different places in Italy. I have yet to have one slice of pizza in Italy that is any good.
I have to try DiFara’s on my next trip to NY. I hear great things about that place.
Been to Grimaldi’s and liked it a lot.
Lombardi’s has plateaued IMO.
DiFara’s will be a stop when I’m in the city later this month.
“Poor Sox… they (potentially) have a nice rally win, overcame Lester’s bad start, and Francona pulled out all stops to win (Lester for 121 pitches, Bard for 2 innings)…. and they gain 0 games because NY and TB won. Still 8 back in the loss, 7 in the WC.

“I just want to see Boston eliminated asap.”
You did a long time ago.
Pepe’s opened a place in Yonkers.
Just loved reading all the snide little comments in the last thread. Talk about nervous nellies.
Incredible. Unbelievable.
Better results for AJ. Great job by the bullpen.
A win’s a win’s a win. Doesn’t matter how you get it.
California Pizza Kitchen has a wide variety of pizza.
Thin crust is excellent. Thai chicken.
You got it, LGY.
..and Mick, I still love a slice of Ray’s on 11th and 6th every so often, too.
(Different thing. Thicker, and all that.)

———————————————————————————————————————-
I prefer that they hang in just a little longer, Fran. This is great theatre, watching them decide.
There is a place in Chicago called Piece.
One of the owners is from New Haven and he makes NH style pizza. It’s outstanding.
For those in Chicago, give it a try. I think you will really like it.

Can’t really say I ‘ve had a memorable pizza in Italy. I only had a few but it just seemed like it wasn’t really a big deal over there.
Somebody told me about that Keste place. Sounds great.
Pizza, burgers & street food all have become their own subdivision of haute cuisine over the last 5 years or so. It’s great.
California Pizza Kitchen is not real pizza

Then don’t eat it.
“I have to try DiFara’s on my next trip to NY. I hear great things about that place.”
Would DEFINITELY recommend it. Randomly stopped in there earlier this summer… excellent.
Have-a-Slice at the corner of 86th and Lexington made awesome pizza way over 40 years ago. There were loads of places in NYC, but that was near the movies in my area.
Erica has good taste.
“Trisha

Hmmm. Well all I can say then is watch out in November!!!

GB – you are absolutely correct. Tomorrow WEEI will be burgeoning with talk about how it isn’t over yet. And they will belive it. They will rationalize how their offense will pull it out of the fire for them on those infrequent occasions that the rotation sucks, ha ha ha.
Mick -
I’ve had California Pizza Kitchen; it’s good, but it falls far short of that little Italian place in San Diego.
One thing I cannot stomach is these chains; Little Caesar’s, Domino’s, Papa Jon’s, heck, I even had pizza from Chicken Delight that tasted better than those chains.
They all taste like cardboard, or they are all dough. Yeeechh.
The best pizza is in Austin, Texas. Conan’s. Has double everything and made with whole wheat crust.
Ray’s is good when you are out at 2 in the morning and you are craving a slice.
Pat,
Really? I know they opened on in the Hartford area and in one of the casinos in CT. Didn’t know they branched out to Yonkers.
A Pepes White Clam Pizza. A thing of beauty!
I am not ashamed to say I enjoy the Pizza Hut thin crust veggie lovers

—————————————————-
Last I heard Grimaldi’s may be losing their lease because they weren’t paying the rent. Which is weird because there always seems to be these long lines.
Last time I went to Lombardi’s I nearly pulled a muscle in my jaw trying to eat the crust. Downhill since they expanded?
Day game tomorrow. Darn, but work gets in the way of life….
Good night, all. Back at it tomorrow afternoon. Thank goodness for Gameday.
Anthony’s pizza!
GB is finally revealing his colors.
Best pizza is in Austin?!? Fughhedabbouit!
“I prefer that they hang in just a little longer, Fran. This is great theatre, watching them decide”
LMAO!!!!!
Fran, they are eliminated. But the great part is that they just don’t know it! GB is right. It really is great theatre. And in the end, they will be eating their young, because they will turn on the team and Sux management so fast your head will spin. Kind of like some of the posters here, actually, and the way they turn on the Yankees. The only difference is that the Suxer fans will be given reason to feel that way!
Chicken Delight, wow, haven’t heard that said in many, many years.
Yogi,
Are you talking about the slices or the pies? The rare places you can find pizza is generally terrible in Italy.
Bronx,
You too! Man, I loved the pizza when I have been to Italy. Could live on that stuff (basically did for a few months
)
It is actually pretty funny. I have had the best pizza in my life in Italy. I have also had the worst pizza in my life the one time I got pizza delivered when I was there. You think Dominoes delivery is bad? The delivery pizza from the chain place over there was one of the worst things I have ever tasted.
Why would anyone in the NY area go to Dominos, Little Ceasers, Pizza Hut, Pizzeria Uno, Sbarro, Papa Jims, etc.?
Cali Pizza Kitchen I can understand because it’s kind of unique… but the other ones
Some of them do have good wings though,
I’m sick of pizza.
Now I have to order pizza…
Heres AJ

The Boston TV networks are missing out. This should be on pay-perview.

Yes, opened about 6 months ago on Central Park Ave. in Yonkers and has been packed ever since.
“Trisha
It seems that Burnett has been on and off depending on the month.
———————————
Maybe he’s ovulating.
Sometimes Kim asks really really stupid questions. Geesh.
If he is off by month that means there is no way you can start him in october
I watched a show on the travel channel the other night about all the pizza places in NY and Chicago….made me very hungry.
Sometimes?
Anthony’s is good. Started in Florida, Dan Marino is one of the partners, and have branched out around the country.
Even opened a place in Vegas and it’s as good as the Florida locations.
A new place in Lake Worth, FL named Nick’s Apizza is next on the list for this weekend.
New Haven owners serving NH style pizza.
Hope the buzz about the place is legit.
She is embarrassing.
SJ-
DiFara’s is pretty bizarre. It’s in the middle of an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood, in a storefront that hasn’t been updated in probably 30 years.
http://slice.seriouseats.com/a.....there.html
Dom makes the best slices by far. If he’s sick, the shop doesn’t open (and I doubt he’s missed many days). He won’t even let his kids make the slices, LOL.
It’s a true Brooklyn landmark, and a must see place. Who knows how much longer it will be open!
Why on earth would anyone who lives in the NY/NJ area order “chain” pizza from Dominos/Pizza Hut/Papa Johns, when there is great “real” pizza plentiful.
Those chains are for when you are travelling and have to stay overnight in Peoria.
Which Ray’s are you guy’s talking about?
The place that claims and supposedly has evidence to be the first ever Ray’s on Prince St is good.
fear not, there’s also a Grimaldi’s in Hoboken.
same awesomeness.
We have such variety in NY we can pick and choose our pizza places.
All of a sudden, I’m in the mood for a slice…
OK, guys, give me the name of the greatest pizza you’ve had out here in L.A.
Come on, help me out, I’m dying out here!
Pepitone,
Thanks for sharing that. It must have been amazing if you remembered it after all these years.
As a community we should probably discuss pizza more. Especially in game threads when the Yanks are losing.
There’s a Rays around 57th.

I’ve been getting it on the Air force Base here in Vegas since I was a little kid. Amazing cheese.

****************
The Spinacholli Deep Dish Pizza at Pizzeria Uno used to be one of my favorite things to eat.
Then I found out it had 1,928 calories and 128 grams of fat and was never able to order it again
A Jeter interview?
Lombardi’s is still better than Carnegie Deli lol
Man Jeter looks like hes 50!
“The Boston TV networks are missing out. This should be on pay-perview.”
“Maybe he’s ovulating.”
If they had a laughing emoticon with tears (of delight) coming down its cheeks, it would be more appropriate. I am acutally crying with laughter!!!!!
I just love it when you guys get on a roll – and especially when the beantown weenees are the victims!!!
GB and Trisha,
I know that Boston is in trouble but they still have 6 games with the Yanks and games left with the Rays.I’ll feel better when they are officially eliminated
How many papers and sites will spend tomorrow about Lester’s gutty performance and winning without his best stuff, giving up 5 runs in 6 innings after trashing Hughes for winning after giving up two in 5 innings and not being deserving of the win?
Nothing like Chicago deep dish pizza – Lou Malnati’s, yum!
I rarely eat regular pizzeria pizza anymore – bad tomato sauce and fake cheese. I usually go to this coal-fired oven place near me: great and real tomato sauce and REAL mozz
Nice win. I still wouldn’t trust AJ – he’s always one pitch from disaster- but he kept it together and got the win, so good job.
I really like this pen. Can you believe how far Logan has come? Amazing, just amazing.
I love Kerry Wood – he’s been a terrific pickup and he’s a really good guy.
VERY happy for Sir Lancelot who has taken too much grief over a few bad games. He’ll be a real asset.
The beantown wieners
I’ll have to check out some of those pizza places. So far nothing in Manhattan has blown me away (and for the love of god stay away from Pronto Pizza… you eat it and you head for the bathroom – pronto!)
The best pizza I’ve ever had is Post Corner Pizza in Darien, CT. (Greek I believe) If you ever get a chance I highly recommend it.
“The Spinacholli Deep Dish Pizza at Pizzeria Uno used to be one of my favorite things to eat.”
Back in the day when I used to live in a condo off Rt.80, me too.
Anybody ever had Mellow Mushroom pizza? Its a chain but its I like it….
“OK, guys, give me the name of the greatest pizza you’ve had out here in L.A.”
There isn’t any.
It’s like bagels. The water is right.
Did anyone just see Jeter snap at kim jones when she asked about his numbers?
“Sometimes?”
Oprah said Mariella Pizza near Columbus Circle is the best pizza in America.
She should stick to recommending books.
Osteria Mozza on Melrose is the best pizza I’ve had in LA.
“Back in the day when I used to live in a condo off Rt.80, me too.”
Wayne?
Pepitone-
there’s a Joe’s on Sunset Blvd., near La Cieniga (though I haven’t sampled it yet.)
Based on the excellent NY product, I’d give it a try.
GB, lol true
Mellow Mushroom is good and has about a million beers on tap. Its not my favorite pizza, because its a little different, but they have a lot of toppings and bases and cheese and its always fun there.
GB,
probably too many to count.
Jeter puts up with Kim.
“Wayne?”
Teaneck, the Glenpointe condos, where Sterling and a bunch of local professional athletes lived as well, probably because it’s at the intersection of 80 and 95.
Fran, they’ll be out of it before the Yanks ever play them. It’s not good when one of the team’s “ace” pitchers (Beckett) talk about being able to play spoiler now.
OK, there was a place in Hollywood called Mr. Ooos on Hollywood Blvd. You could write on the walls, and movie stars came in frequently; I saw Annette in there once.
Great pizza, but it burned down 30 years ago.
I like Mellow’s crust…not wild about their sauce…too sweet or something but you’re right, its a fun place to go.
Phil will get the benefit of the doubt when he reaches Lester’s status – that’s how it is unfortunately. I also think the media is infatuated with the hot new thing, Nova, and Phil sort of suffers in comparison (according to them). I mean, Nova is very promising, but it’s ridiculous to proclaim after 2 starts that he’s going to save the rotation……….
He didn’t snap.
And he’s fine with her. He looks her in the eye when answering a question, and not in a combative way. When players answer questions about don’t make eye contact, they’re annoyed.
Fran, you’ve got to get over 2004.
It was a fluke thing, never to happen again.
After all those years of humiliating them, they were due for one.
Oprah doesn’t know her pizza.
But I did see her once tackle some serious BBQ at Dinosaurs in Harlem.
It was a very impressive performance.
Eric UWS September 1st, 2010 at 10:37 pm
Did anyone just see Jeter snap at kim jones when she asked about his numbers?
—
What did she and he say?
Best pizza in my part of the Jersey Shore is either Vic’s or Pete and Elda’s. But then I am partial to thin crust.
Sweep tomorrow keeps Matt away another day.
She started to ask “what do you think when you look at your numbers” or something to that effect, and he cut her off saying “I don’t” before she finished the sentence.
It was a little animated on the relative Jeter vanilla scale, but I actually think he was trying to give a good, clever answer.
Got it, thanks guys, I will try them out.
This is when I wish I lived in New York, the eateries there are miles above L.A.
Tomorrow is officially a trap game
I wonder if the media will give Cash credit for his trade deadline acquisitions……………..on second thought, I don’t wonder it: they won’t.
In the 2nd game of the Scranton double header, Montero was 3-4 with a homer and 2 RBI. 1-4 with an RBI double in the first game.
Jeter always has one flip answer for Kim to stop her from anymore stupid questions.
Jeter is good at “the flip.”
“Tomorrow is officially a trap game”
Nah, Sabathia wasn’t top-notch is last start, and Braden is on the mound.
That’s two trap disqualifications.
kim asked about his numbers and he shot back “i dont look at the numbers!” or something like that.
he’s gona step up in a big spot for us at some point in october.
SJ- Now you’re talking.
Dinosaur BBQ up in Harlem, has the best wings in NYC!
Would love a 10-0 home sweep.
That might send a message.
LGY September 1st, 2010 at 10:37 pm
Oprah said Mariella Pizza near Columbus Circle is the best pizza in America.
———————————————————————————————————-
I know Mariella. 8th ave and 56th. Standard NY pizza and probably too greasy.
They used to have a behemoth shop on 57th off broadway. It was so big that now it’s a supermarket. I used to get a chicken cutlet salad there.
“I know that Boston is in trouble but they still have 6 games with the Yanks and games left with the Rays.I’ll feel better when they are officially eliminated ”
Fran, I understand what you’re saying, and I definitely want it for you since it’s going to be awesome once the deed is done. But for me, I like the slow torturous death. In fact, I wouldn’t mind them being eliminated the last AB of the last game of the regular season, with the bases loaded and nobody out, and having the opposition (us, right?) make a triple play to end their dreams!
I really love the good theatre aspect of it. And I just love listening to the fenway faithful cheer like the really believe it’s possible, with their head crying voiced fool, Don Orsillo, bellowing out every call as if the Suxers have just won the world series.
And then everything was quiet. And their season was over as quickly as it began. The (Sux), against all odds, were on the brink of pulling off a miracle. It came down to the last at bat of the last game of the regular season, and against their biggest rivals, the New York Yankees. With the bases loaded and nobody out, one hit away from taking the lead for the final time in the regular season, a season filled with landmines for the (Sux), but landmines that they continued to manage to dodge, David Ortiz came to the plate. And with a 3-0 count, Joba Chamberlain threw a pitch right down the middle, and Ortiz topped it and amazingly hit into a 5-4-3 triple play. The fenway crowd, so loud that the green monster was vibrating and fans in the monster seats were falling into the outfield, suddenly became eerily quiet. And that quickly, it was over.
Ah the theatre. You just can’t hate the theatre!
Brackman got the win tonight…anybody have any info on how he looked?
I think Jeter demonstrated an athlete’s single-minded focus. He knows that his stats are bad, for him, but he can’t let himself think about that, and he wasn’t about to allow Kim’s question (which was fair) to force him to think about it either.
GB,I missed Beckett’s comment about playing spoiler. That is pretty telling.
“Tomorrow is officially a trap game”
If Girardi plays a lineup like
Gardner
Swisher
Berkman
Thames
Kearns
Nunez
Golson
Pena
Cervelli
Then maybe….
“Tomorrow is officially a trap game”
I would hope that Girardi won’t use a Torre-esque house money lineup.
Eroc beat me to it, with much more detail.
Could you imagine if a guy asked Jeter that question about his stats?
Kim is sweet enough to get away with it and she uses it to her advantage.
Staten Island wins 1-0 on a 5th inning homer by gary Sanchez.
Trenton wins 4-2, mostly on a pair of solo homers by Justin Christian who was 2-3 with a walk and his 20th stolen base.
brackman gets the win with 6 innings, 5 hits, 2 runs, 1 walk, 4 strikeouts.
and what’s Jeter supposed to say anyway? I’m glad I missed the post-game show.
She started to ask “what do you think when you look at your numbers” or something to that effect, and he cut her off saying “I don’t” before she finished the sentence.
———————————-
Maybe he misunderstood and thought she was saying, “What do you think of when you make love to me?”
Trisha,I love the Broadway theater. Boston theater, not so much
The Yanks have a bunch of days off coming up so Joe can afford not to put out a 1/2 baked lineup.
GB-
Thanks Mr. Scully for all the updates.
good one pepi, one day she might slip…
Jones is a tabloid reporter. And her first love is football.
SJ44 September 1st, 2010 at 10:13 pm
John’s on Bleecker St. Is my must stop for pizza when I’m in the city.
However, the best pizza in America is in New Haven.
Sally’s, Pepe’s and Modern Pizza.
——————————————————————————————————————-
You know it.
Right down the street a few miles from me.
“Could you imagine if a guy asked Jeter that question about his stats?”
Again, it’s a fair question for anyone to ask any player who is struggling, irrespective of the response.
Jones is a tabloid reporter. And her first love is football.
==================================
Maybe she is covering the wrong team and the wrong sport then…
So many parts of the country have really bad pizza. They think it’s good because they haven’t been to great NY area. If there is a large population of Italians, there is usually a good pizza place. I wonder if the Grimaldi’s in Scottsdale is related to the those in NY area?
Wooster street i believe.
Again, it’s a fair question for anyone to ask any player who is struggling, irrespective of the response.
==================
It does take guts to ask it.
I’m not trying to pull the ethnicity card here since I’m I-talian, but the best pizza I’ve had is from a place in town called Catanzaro’s. For me, the sauce is half the battle, the crust is the other half, and the final half is the toppings. (Yogi’s I-talian too!). His dough is to die for and his sauce is amazing. He uses fresh basil on his margarita pizza and he also uses carmelized onions and portabella mushrooms. I won’t get it anywhere else.
Ah the theatre. You just can’t hate the theatre!
————————————————–
You must have been in heaven back in 78.
Blake, Brackman’s pitches must have been moving down. 11 ground ball outs and 3 fly outs. He did hit 2 batters, though….the late Juan Apodaca and the equally late John Drennan.
Spoiled pizza lovers, what snobs.
Just eat a slice and get over it.
It’s all good, (except those chains)
“Trisha,I love the Broadway theater. Boston theater, not so much
”
Fran, it must be a regional thing. I can’t get enough beantown theatre!
Gardner
Swisher
Tex
Cano
Posada (c)
Thames
Granderson
Nunez
Pena
Is my guess, with perhaps Cano being switched with Jeter as the regular with a day off because it’s a lefty.
Maybe Kearn in left and Granderson gets a day, but after a couple hits off a lefty tonight, Girardi might want to try to keep it going.
The media fears Jeter.
Kim can get away with it because she is employed by YES and the Yankees control the content (i.e. they are not going to portray Jeter in a negative light like a say, Joel Sherman, might do).
For me, the sauce is half the battle, the crust is the other half, and the final half is the toppings.

Oh, Trisha, if I wasn’t already married I’d ask you to marry me!

You guys are killing me!!! (no comments, thank you!)
Please do not disrespect Italian pizza.

And Pep, if i weren’t so anti marriage, I’d probably say yes!!!
GB7,
Thanks. I wish you could get video of the Trenton and some of the others on Milb.com….I think they only have AAA games as far as I can tell…is that right?
“Maybe he misunderstood and thought she was saying, “What do you think of when you make love to me?
For me, the sauce is half the battle, the crust is the other half, and the final half is the toppings.
Blake, every so often, they have the Trenton and Staten Island games on the internet
“Maybe he misunderstood and thought she was saying, “What do you think of when you make love to me?

It was the worst of forums, it was the best of forums.
And threads like this remind me so much why it is the best of forums!!!
Bravo, posters!!!
GB,
I’ll keep a look out…I’d like to see the B’s when they pitch and some of the others.
Gnight everyone…I’m going to try and get my mind off pizza so I can go to sleep.
2 smiley laughing faces, wow!
Time for Chelsea Lately. Great night everyone!!!
Enough foolishness, I’ve got work to do.
Adios, amigos and amigas!
I’ve never had a bad slice of pizza.
There’s great pizza, good pizza, and pizza.

It’s true though! (At least in my experience)
But I remember that if you ordered a pizza with a topping, like ham, it would come with like 1 big slice of ham somewhere random on the pie. This happened more than once so I’m just assuming it’s a national phenomenon.

Alright, over under 21-game suspension for Nyger Morgan?
Here’s a recap of his past two weeks.
1) Threw a baseball into the stands at a fan in Philadelphia, was slapped with a 7-game suspension (that he is appealing).
2) Collided unnecessarily with St. Louis catcher, Bryan Anderson, last Saturday. His own manager called it “unprofessional.” (via ESPN)
3) Collides with C Brett Hayes last night in a controversial play. Hayes has a separated shoulder and will miss some time.
4) Gets plunked tonight, steals 2nd and 3rd in an 11-run game. He takes out 2B Murphy, who then has to leave with a wrist injury (and will miss time). He is thrown behind and charges the mind, punching P Volstad. When he leaves the field, he’s taunting the crowd and shouting obscenities.
Gonna be a fairly big suspension, no?
always enjoy pizza talk. Thanks everyone.
before moving to NY, NY pizza was the pinnacle (IMO). And any other form of pizza was sacriledge.
will admit, i now find myself prefering Chicago style pizza. For one, it has the crumble italian sausage (not the sliced sausage all NY shops insist on). Additonally, the tomato sauce is normally plentiful. Which is nice, because i kinda get tired of asking for extra-extra sauce at NYC shops. Chicago pizza resembles a meal, more than a snack
I hope all of you baseball fans have been enjoying the Lincecum-Jimenez duel.
The Gigantes just scratched out a run to take a 2-1 lead into the 9th, the run came courtesy of a leadoff walk, a sac bunt, and then some swift baserunning by a call-up speedster who got to the ballpark mid-game.
And now the game is in the hands of noted arsonist Brian Wilson.

i’ve had bad. ‘Brother’s’ in West Point NY. Avoid like the plague
Nick in SF,
I have never seen a pizza in New York with a full slice of ham on it. Meatball slices, mushrooms, pepperoni, sausage, olives, onions…no ham.
Also, don’t know whether you saw it, but I will have my first ‘n and out burger shortly.
Terrific win tonight. AJ was better. He’s so streaky with his mechanics. Let’s hope he gets on a roll.
Great night yet again down on the farm. Montero goes deep again. He’s now close to .290 and his slugging % is over .500. Gary Sanchez hits yet another home run (what a season he’s had as a 17 year old – he’s been considerably better than Montero was at that age, though he doesn’t have the upside).
And Brackman was very good again. It’s nice to see him getting so many ground balls. Ultimately that’s what you hope he turns into – a pitcher who strikes out a ton of hitters and generates ground ball after ground ball because he throws with such a down hill plane.
Tomorrow they go for the sweep with CC on the mound. Nice way to finish up a series.
SAS, enjoy your In-N-Out — if you like onions, order your burger ‘animal style’, then the onions will be grilled. It’s part of the ‘secret’ menu.
I’m a big fan of Blake’s Lotaburger in the southwest. Green chili cheeseburgers!
Nova, Nunez on incredible journey together
“I’ve been a Yankees fan since I was a kid. My favorite player has always been Derek Jeter,” said Nunez, 23, whose natural position is shortstop. “You have that dream since you’re a kid, and knowing that I have the opportunity to play with him, its like a dream. It really is.”…
In December 2008, the Padres claimed Nova from the Yankees in the Rule 5 Draft, but were forced to return him to New York when the right-hander failed to remain on San Diego’s roster for the entire 2009 season
“When they sent me back to the Yankees, I would say I was somewhat sad because I didn’t make the team,” said Nova. “But once I was reunited with the guys again, it was like I was back with the family.”…
“He’s like my brother. The first time they called me, that he was still [in the Minors], we would talk every day. I would always tell him, ‘Keep working hard,’” said Nova. “I would talk to [fellow Dominicans Robinson] Cano and Damaso [Marte], but with the rest of the guys, I didn’t have that trust. It was hard.”
When prompted to describe their friendship, Nunez echoes Nova’s sentiments.
“We’re better friends off the field than on the field,” said Nunez. “We’ve always lived together. He’s like my brother.

Cano and Melky Posse Par Deux?
“Oprah doesn’t know her pizza.
But I did see her once tackle some serious BBQ in Harlem.
It was a very impressive performance”

Nick, I love green-chili cheeseburgers! Last year I was planning a trip to Santa Fe and I did a ton of research……mostly on food, lol. Unfortunately, I decided not to go because I didn’t feel like dealing with a connecting flight into Albuquerque…………….but I still crave the GCCB
I was not aware of this New Haven pizza phenomenon, but I think I have to investigate it sometime after reading all these comments.
Bronx,
I’m a fan of the just one big slice of meat thrown on the pie. They don’t cut up the pizza into slices either. Just take it out of the oven, throw it down on the table, and do what you want with it!
Morgan should sit for the rest of the season. Horrible behavior.
so, what’s wrong with Morgan stealing bases? That’s his job and it was his team that was trailing….not the other way around.
Doesn’t have the upside yet.
Big boy & only 17
Whitey Herzog first implemented stealing bases when up/down by a lot of runs as a way to manufacture runs.
No issue at all. Morgan was trying to steal a run and make it 13-5
Fans have some odd ideas when they decide what’s dirty or unnecessary. Was Teixeira dirty for separating Bobby Wilson’s shoulder in Anaheim? Was the slide in to Guillen of Detroit dirty because he got hurt. Common sense has never been some fans strong suit.
My 2 cents on the Pizza debate…
