Gardner: “It’s just kind of an instinct thing”

Any time Brett Gardner hits the ball on the ground, he believes he has a chance to reach base. He’s fast enough to force an error or beat out a routine play. Last night, he got the Yankees started in that five-run eighth inning by beating out an infield single. The play became little more than a race to the bag, and Gardner got there just ahead of C.J. Wilson.
“He’s a good athlete,” Gardner said. “He got over there pretty quick. Most lefties, I’m able to beat them over there by a step or two but this one was really close.”
Why the headfirst slide into first base?
“Everything is going so fast, I don’t even know what I’m thinking,” Gardner said. “I just feel like sometimes I can get there quicker depending on how my body’s leaning and how my steps pan out when I’m getting closer to the bag. It’s just kind of an instinct thing.”
Maybe the slide made a difference. Maybe it didn’t. Either way, it worked.
“As a manager, you hold your breath,” Joe Girardi said. “Because a lot of times, that’s where you see hands get hurt or shoulders get hurt diving into first base. But he felt it was the right move, and it worked out well for us, and Gardy always plays extremely hard. We love the way he plays the game.
Hoping for a well pitched game from Phil and a 2-0 series lead….Go Yanks!!
Brett!… A-ah… Savior of the Universe!
Great game, if lineups are accepted now:
Jeter SS
Granderson CF
Tex 1B
ARod 3B
Cano 2B
Swisher RF
Jorge C
Berkman DH
Gardner LF
The game threads as bad as they can be are honestly therapeutic for me when the Yankees are losing. I get to channel any irritation I have with the way the game is going towards the whiners complainers and people that are simply wrong about things.
Last night though I couldn’t even handle it. Im surprised lohud didn’t self combust from an overwhelming amount of stupidity.
Harold Reynolds had a great observation: going low prevented Wilson from reaching over and tagging him.
Gardner has been a spark plug all year. He’s earned his spot next year ..and he should only improve from here. His defense and speed has added another level to the team.
Remember when everybody was worried about having Gardner on the team in spring training? With his OBP, speed and defense he has been a fantastic addition to the team.
sounds worse than a horror movie LGY…is it worth looking at for a laugh?
Spare yourself upstate Kate. Spare yourself.
LGY
LOL. I feel the same way. I gave up last night also. Sat in my lucky chair! Smart move.
WCYF
For the sake of the blog after a great win I am just going to move on from this issue. I’m just enabling if I continue to participate in it.
Kate, something makes me think that if you weren’t part of it and then read it the next day, it is probably a riot and definitely makes the posters who are bona fide idiots stand out loud and clear.
Sorry to the rest of the blog for even resonding to it today in the first place and detracting from any happiness this morning
Quite a game last night. I think I was in a state of shock the entire top of the 8th (in a very good way). Robbie was his usual awesome self.
I love this quote from Joba: RiverAveBlues “CC’s picked us up all year. He’s been a horse for us all year. It was our job to pick him up.” -Joba

Fair enough. It was a baseball disagreement on umpiring and balls and strikes. Hardly fodder for a nuclear weapon. Thanks.
Last night was indeed a horror show on here – my umpire complaining included. I made a decision to leave and try to bring good luck after being attacked repeatedly by another poster.

I took the lineup, since no official one has been posted yet.

A great great win by the Bombers last night. Its too bad that I love the Mets and the Red Sox more.
If I have to change my name on both sites so they are the same I’ll do so. Keep up your childish activity as I’m sure there are more names you made up to fulfill your agenda.

It would be nice if Fox/Cablevision could resolve their dispute prior to the WS………….even if the Yankees don’t make it. It really stinks even now for folks who want to watch the NLCS
Anyone see this?
(CNN) — News Corp. pulled the plug on Cablevision customers Saturday, blacking out more than 3 million households in the New York area over a programming fee dispute. The blackout affects Fox 5 and My9, Charles Schueler, Cablevision’s vice president of communications, said in a statement.
Sports fans could be left in the dark if an agreement is not reached soon. They could miss Saturday’s Game 1 of the National League Championship Series, featuring the Philadelphia Phillies and San Francisco Giants.
Doreen,
You are doing a fine job with the time updates. Erica better watch out
Funny Betsy we posted that at the same time.

It’s nice to see Cano maturing this year.
I think some of the vets have been having a good influence on him.
“who are bona fide idiots stand out loud and clear.”
trisha
“Therein lies the rub”. It is the idiots who stand out as opposed to the posters who have a clue.
But as LGY pointed it out, sometimes it can be theraputic.
It’s at those times I miss DT, for his troll slaying abilities.
MaineYankee- I know. I think Alex deserves a lot of credit for pulling him aside in spring training. It seems like all three of his fellow infielders have really taken him under their collective wing.
Last night was great for me….dinner at a great restaurant (which I didn’t have to pay for), then got home at the start of the 8th inning. Missed all the bad stuff and got to see all the good stuff.
I was mad all day yesterday about missing the first part of the game but it goes to show you that sometimes things work out for the best.
WC, sometimes I like to step away from the tv to calm down during a game, but if the Yankees make it to the WS and this isn’t resolved by then, I will not be a happy camper.
WCYF,
You seem to have good baseball knowledge. I for one enjoy many of the informative posts you make. Why is there these personal attacks toward you? This is not the place for it, all are entitled to post their opioions here. Keep up the good work.
Good morning all,
Many of the worst thread offenders aren’t even posting now. They post during the games to complain about everything under the stars and don’t return until the next game. They know nothing about baseball except to boo or cheer.
The best parts of the blog are in the morning and late at night when the ‘trolls’ are still sleeping or have gone to bed.
In any case, I say Onward and Upward for the afternoon game.
I am just glad for all of you that the Yankees are not on Cablevision now. I don’t know what will happen if this continues through the World Series.

Aldo–
Having followed the fights on the Daily News, I saw that he seemed to do that alot, but I don’t think anyone ever proved it. It would be too bad to see that behavior continued here with the fights it caused.
No question that Brett Gardner creates havoc and disturbs pitchers and infielders with his speed.
It seems like when he’s on the basepaths good things happen more often than not.
Yes, since I have Cablevision apparently I can’t watch the Halladay-Lincecum duel, which peeves me greatly.
If they don’t resolve it by the World Series there may be rioting in the tri-state area.
Watching the game replay on mlb.
- Good move by Girardi, lifting CC when he did. He had NO control last night. Like I said last night, how often have we seen him walk 3 in one inning, the first?
- No one seems to be giving much credit to the bullpen for their role in last night’s win. Their line: 5 IP, only ONE HIT, 6 Ks, ZERO runs!
- Cano’s 3 for 4, going yard reminds me. He’s had some amazing hot streaks during his career. I hope this is the start of another one.

What on earth are you talking about? I mostly just read the threads here and don’t post often because I dislike the arguments and the insults towards others. I don’t know you nor have I ever had any interaction with you. You are incorrect.
rabbit,
West Coast Sux Fan, aka redfish, has also posted here so far under the names “Bradlee” “TJ0413″ and MY name “Aldo the Apache” (with spaces). And probably others.
Just sayin, to set the record straight.
Aldo
I have to admit from my perspective, I am confused about all the hate directed at WCYF.
I understand that there has to be some sort of history going on.
I don’t know ( or at this point, want to know) all the details of that history. I will say some posters whose opinion’s I really respect, have issues with him.
What I do know is, right now It’s Yankee baseball we should be discussing. How about a truce, at least until 28 is where it belongs, at Yankee Stadium!

Right.
You’re just another poster who happens to come here with the singular purpose of defending one poster.
OK. Got it.
Not. Go away.
Back to the Yankees.
Well – it seems pretty obvious who the trolls are, those above making false accusations, not talking about baseball. Those who come here solely to exercise their obsessions attacks and lies.

From TYU
When you break down how Colby Lewis gets it done, his arsenal, velocity and pitch selection, it’s hard to believe that he was 5th amongst AL starters in K/9 in 2010. After all, his fastball averages only 90 mph. Yet, there’s nothing to indicate that Lewis is a fluke or all smoke and mirrors. If the Yankees are going to beat Lewis and win Game 2 they’ll have to defeat a very good pitcher. One way they can do this is by running up his pitch count and hammering him late in the game. When Lewis’ pitch count is between 76-100, batters are hitting .303/.347/.551 against him with 10 home runs. The best opportunities against Lewis may be late in the game.
Hey folks,
WCYF has as right to be on here as anyone. He is far from totally obnoxious. Why not drop it. This is a free country. Just skip his posts if you don’t like them.
He is far better than Ruby Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday who is hard to skip somehow. That thing should be banned from the blog, but is never so offensive that you can have it removed from the site.
There are many really good people here to enjoy, learn from, or shoot the breeze with so let’s not quibble over stuff we cannot control.

__________________
Surging Cano
Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano has established himself as one of the best pure hitters in baseball.
Here’s a sure sign of it: you can’t gain an advantage by matching up lefthanders against him. The guy who led all hitters this year with home runs off lefties did it again last night with two huge hits against pitchers who typically own lefties:
• C.J. Wilson had allowed no homers in 171 plate appearances by left-handed hitters — until Cano smashed a homer off him.
• Clay Rapada had allowed one hit in 19 at-bats to lefties — until Cano laced a game-tying single off the lefty reliever in the eighth.
That was total respect the Rangers showed Cano in the ninth inning. The Rangers had first base open, two outs and a left-hander, Derek Holland, on the mound with right-handed hitter Alex Rodriguez at bat and Cano on deck. Cano is so scary right now that the Rangers preferred to have a left-hander pitch to Rodriguez instead of Cano. Holland retired Rodriguez on a pop fly.
The message was clear: be very afraid of Cano, no matter who is pitching.

Say something he doesn’t like and you’ll see totally obnoxious. If you’re milquetoast you’ll eat up hs crap. Some of us know him much better than you.
I’m glad you like the intitials. Because I like the Yankees and some of the posts WCYF makes does not equate to a singular purpose. Many posters here have informative posts that I like. It is unfortunate that you have this phobia of who everyone is or isn’t here.
‘Back to the Yankees’ ????????? All you have posted today is your fabricated identity crisis BS. Take your own advice and go away.
Tar, I think so. Lewis only went 5 shutout innings before existing due to his pitch counts last game. Hopefully, We will do the same and maybe tag on a few runs meanwhile. When it comes down to BP, we are better.
Don’t really read Matt LOL, he make some good points sometimes. Aside from the fact that the dude only shows up when we are losing (his prerogative) he is also redundant
Thought you were going somewhere Tim in Trenton/WCYF.
Tar,
Great post. Two points – (1) Yankee baseball IS what we should be discussing here, of course, and (2) use of the words “hate” and “truce” are respectively not accurate (former) and unnecessary (latter).
The REAL issue here is that if you happen to be one of the posters who has him name co-opted by him (as he’s done right here with me and others) or you’re a poster with whom he’s decided to engage in name-calling, insults, or just plain offend … all while he constantly whines about and criticizes the team we’re here rooting for … well, let’s just say that it’s not unreasonable to expect some of us to defend ourselves and our team in response.
Like Gordon Gekko said in Wall Street 2 – “Stop telling lies about me, and I’ll stop telling the truth about you.”
That said … I will let the matter drop unless I’m compelled … let’s get back to the Yankees!
What is up with this stupid turf war?
I think we will get to Lewis. If not early we will wait him out, our lineup is too deep. I would not be surprised if we win big today.
Tim in Trenton/WCYF said. More nonsense, you also are incorrect. You all have a nice day, I am not here for this stuff.
Have a nice day. Disappear.
The Ranger Stampede looms large……….very soon.
Aldo, I thought WS2 was terrible! That line is probably best part of the movie.
I don’t find WCYF to be a troll.
I (often) don’t agree with his sentiments, but that doesn’t make him a troll.
I can’t imagine why anyone would go through the machinations of registering under multiple screen names.
In any event much of what he says is no more or less annoying that plenty of other stuff here.
If one has a problem with another poster, Simply Scroll.
I have to be fair and give props to ESPN’s late night crew. I was watching SC around 2AM before bed and the hosts were effusive in their praise of the Yankees comeback win. Especially Mo and the comeback wins.
Blake,
I too started watching in the 8th inning after my daughter’s choir concert. I did take some depressing peaks at the score on my phone. I thought I was the lucky 8th inning charm, but I will share the accolades with you. Today I intend to be lucky from the 1st.
I haven’t seen much of Lewis, but his stats are quite good. He has a lot of Ks and way fewer hits than IPs. It doesn’t appear the Yankees have faced him, at least for several years. But, I am optimistic Hughes will pitch well.
Tim in Trenton,
If you weren’t so busy defending yoruself as West Coast Sux Fan, you’d see I’ve posted about the Yankees.
You were saying about leaving …?
Philip Hughes said……….help me !!!!!!!!! Please help me !!!!!!
sic – comeback wins during the year
Look at the teams Texas battled in their division…the Angels, Mariners, and A’s….not the toughest teams going…and we know how tough the AL East is..
I wonder if Joe is going to sandwich Puma btw Swisher and Posada today.

Doreen and Tar, I will address this to you because you are both long-time posters who are reasonable, fair, and people I really like.
“The REAL issue here is that if you happen to be one of the posters who has him name co-opted by him (as he’s done right here with me and others) or you’re a poster with whom he’s decided to engage in name-calling, insults, or just plain offend … all while he constantly whines about and criticizes the team we’re here rooting for … well, let’s just say that it’s not unreasonable to expect some of us to defend ourselves and our team in response.”
For me, that says it all. Apache hit the nail on the head. Speaking for myself, I guarantee you that neither of you were around for all of the personal insults and crap I had to take from this guy, unsolicited. It’s one thing to have to deal with that from someone who has been around here a long time. It’s quite another to have some pissant newbie show up and start pulling it. And then to have him trash the team constantly and conveniently turn it around at will, that doesn’t sit well with some of us.
Doreen, why does someone register as multiples? Who knows. But people who know the guy have shown proof that it’s his M.O.
I neither believe nor trust anything about him.
I absolutely believe he is a troll.
**************
You apparently have the right to see him any way you want to. This was purely to explain where I am coming from with it.
Hi all – About to run out to the supermarket, and thought I’d just check in to see if there’s anything interesting.
Can I make a suggestion to folks?
Don’t get caught up in schoolyard stuff. This is a place for Yankee fans to discuss the team, and occasionally other sports and entertainment stuff. I particularly like to read what Doreen is cooking up (I love a good cheesecake), but whatever. The last thing any of us should get caught up in is who’s a real fan, who said what to who, and similar things.
Yeah, I know, it’s the internet and everyone’s free to their own opinion, and to say what they want.
But, as a longtime reader and contributor here, I wanted to give my $0.02.
Have an adult conversation with someone. It’s a lot easier on everyone’s mind.
Later.
Aldo
I didn’t mean to imply that the hate was coming from you, but it is there.
I totally understand the frustration about the name-co opting thing. That cannot be tolerated. This is why I tried to make it more of a request, and will understand if you feel compelled to defend yourself.
There has been more than one feud (bad word) that has been played out on this blog. It gets us nowhere. So I appreciate your understanding of an outsiders point of view.
I’m watching the replay of the 8th inning right now. That crowd was starting to get out of it after Jeter’s hit; by the time Tex walked, it was very quiet; by the time ARod got a hit you could hear the few Yankee faithful who were there. Fantastic.

We are in tune, my friend!
The problem Trish is that you are a liar.
I have never posted here under any name other then this and you have to prove accusations like that. What if I said you were someone else over and over? Are you?
I am going to call you out now. You have my permission in writing to have Chad or anyone else at LoHud research my IP address and anything else they care to. They will find that I have never posted as anyone other than WCYF.
Again. You have lied. Now go find out and then apologize to me publicly.
Trisha -
I understand. And perhaps I’m naive when it comes to these things. I’m gonna stay out of it from this point on.

Boy the pitching changes are tiring to watch.
ed_price Bad news for #Rangers: of other 4 teams to blow 4-R postseason lead in 8th inn or later, none win their series.
ed_price Then again … 2 previous tms that blew lead of 4+ R in 8th or later in postssn & weren’t eliminated that gm actually won next gm of series
ed_price Last time #Rangers Colby Lewis faced #Yankees, lineup was Jeter, Bernie, Giambi, Posada, Matsui, Boone, Nick J., Soriano, Dellucci (8-5-03).
What an incredible 8th inning! Total team effort last night. Including the bullpen shutting down the Rangers on a night when CC didn’t have it, until the bats came alive.
I expect CC will be his old self next start (if necessary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
trisha -
What’s on the menu for today? I was thinking something with Phil in it, like; Phil ly Cheese Steak.
Things I did not like about WS2
1. bad casting- Shia Leboeuf (Charlie Sheen character) looks likes he is 15. There is zero suspension of beliefs that he is a stockbroker either by mannerism or by speech.
2 little suspense to the storyline.
3. WS1 was a story of a man’s descend into ‘darkness’ and redemption to me which made more relevant in the 80s where excess and self indulgence are more or less accepted and lauded in the securities industry and society in general. None of that kinda narrative existed in WS2.
You know – I really admire the Yankees hitters. All the pitching changes could have had the effect of stopping the action. They were focused and didn’t lose their pace.
West Coast Yankee Fan October 16th, 2010 at 12:50 pm
The problem Trish is that you are a liar.
I am going to call you out now.
apologize to me publicly.
================================
I rest my case.
WCYF – Please stop telling Trisha to shut up. There’s no reason for constant attacks. You started this today. If you’re a real Yankees fan, you’d let it go. There’s only one matter of importance, and that’s the NEW YORK YANKEES.
3-1 pitc h to Posada wasn’t a strike.
Doreen -
Good point. There are times a manager makes a trip to the mound to do just that, slow the momentum down, it didn’t work, did it.
I didn’t know Posada had just missed a HR!!! Too bad Cano wasn’t on 3rd at the time.
CR9 – Kindly point out to me where I started anything today. I started talking baseball. I won’t insult your intelligence as I respect you by re-posting to prove my point. I said nothing personal to anyone and only defended myself when attacked.
Cashmoney- I was also disappointed by WS2. It was almost like they were trying to cram two movies into one. I have to say I did love Bud Fox and Gekko meeting at the party though.
@Erin, have you seen ‘The Town’ yet?
Doreen -
Are you just watching the game now?
I still enjoy last night’s win; and game 2 is just 3 hrs away!
trisha
As I said to Aldo, I understand if you feel the need to defend yourself.
Also, I feel the same way about you. You should probably know, you never have to explain yourself to me.
WCYF
Innocent victim or not, please just drop it. Ignore it, and more will come to your aid.
Exacerbate it at your own peril.
And one more thing CR9 – Trisha feels free to personally attack “many” others here who don’t warrant “her approval” as to what a Yankee fan should be.
I tell her to shutup when she precipitously attacks me with no provocation. I long ago stopped initiating battles with her. I will not tolerate her attacks though..
Big Al – it still has to be chicken, but it needs to be accompanied by some Philly product! I think we’re going toward desserts but I think you could definitely cover the record with Philly cheesesteak.
Doreen?
Fine Tar I understand. But I am defending myself. As others do.

I had switched channels for a break during the game, and when I do that, I follow along here. Once Gardner got on, I decided it was one of those times where I couldn’t switch back in case I ruined whatever chance they had of coming back.

“Shut up Trish”
__
Listen, Im not attacking you personally. To be honest, I dont really care who started it. Just let it go. The Yankees are bigger than all of us. They are the greatest thing in this world. btw, Trisha only attacks people in general. She doesnt usually call out someone by handle.
upstate kate -
Like watching a double header. Yes, like a favorite show you’ve seen before, know all the punch lines, but, you enjoy it so much, you could watch it over and over again.
so are we going to able to watch the phillies game tonight or not?
Doreen
If you didn’t switch back and they lost would it be your fault?
Tar, thanks. I knew. But I still wanted to explain.
CR9 – thank you. Don’t waste any more of your good time on it, seriousy. But thank you.
Cashmoney, I also thought Shia Laboeuf was an odd choice for WS2.
Excellent summary. Thanks.
Doreen -
You are a good luck charm for our Yankees, always keep looking, rooting and believing.
The squabbling in her is just silly but the stalking is downright disturbing.
There is someone in here that is gathering personal info and I have no idea how they’re doing it.
At least two posters that I know of have been contacted outside this forum and I have seen a couple more “exposed” as this sicko’s username.
One well known-long time poster gave one tiny bit of obscure personal info and within a half hour his full name was in here.
It’s a shame because after being in here for more than two years I’m more fearful than ever of divulging anything personal.

@Erin, have you seen ‘The Town’ yet?
**********************************
Not yet. Hopefully soon.
Tomorrow I?m finally going to see Nowhere Boy-the one about John Lennon?s childhood/teenage years. I can?t wait!!
______________________
Nowhere Boy is tremendous, IMHO. Enjoyed it immensely. Very moving.
Austinmac,
I did the same….I’d check in on my phone and it wasn’t looking good but when I got back to the hotel and starting watching it all turned around….ill be in the air for most of the game but am hoping to watch from 30,000 feet if the flight has TBS…

What’s the weather like? Have the trees Changed? How about a picture to change the mood!
This is in response to my being called a liar. I felt I at least needed to respond to it. And then it’s over – til the next time…
********************
I don’t have to prove anything to you. You’re the new kid on the block.
You could have multiple IP providers.
I believe the people who posted with you on other sites. Some of them have been here a while and definitely have credibility.
Your biggest mistake was thinking you could come at me with personal attacks and insults and get a bye.
**************
The people whose opinions I respect the most on the blog have called you out repeatedly. Several did it today.
Let me know how it is Erin. The last two music documentariesI saw were about Nick Drake and Joe strummer, both are very good.
p.s. I am pretty close to the Dakota building. When I first moved here, I use to pump into Yoko Ono a lot.
I think the dessert is optional.
The rules are getting very complex.
yes Big Al exactly…and each time you watch it you see something you didn’t notice the first time
WCYF – About last night’s game, Im just going to see if this makes sense, and you tell me if you agree or not.
1. CC Sabathia just didnt have his stuff last night.
2. However, Sabathia got cheated on numerous calls in the 3 run first inning.
3. If Sabathia had not been squeezed, he could have gotten out of the 1st inning with less than 3 runs scored, despite not having his best stuff.
Agree?
Bronx Jeers
That is disturbing. Have you talked directly to Chad about it?
Bronx Jeers -
Were you referring to that matter with GB7 a while back? How can someone get that personal info on any of use? I’d like to know for my own protection.
us …. not use

———————————————————————————-
The trees are in the changing stage now. Full color probably in another week.
I thought we might lose alot of them the last couple of days. We had heavy rain and wind.
I’ll see if I can get some pics and post them. Might need a little help from my friend out on the rock pile.

HAHA. Cash this is a family blog.
“I think the dessert is optional.

You’re right. I forgot dessert was optional, sorry.
Maybe we should just say, if it feels right, do it!
*************
Okay, some of us are doing meal-time things and it’s a lot of fun to have others join in.
Some of us are eating chicken as part of every ALCS meal.
Some of us are eating some PHILadelphia cream cheese product whenever Phil Hughes pitches.
If anyone has a game-time thing they’re doing, share it if you want. Maybe others will join in.
Big Al, I think Philly cheesesteak is perfect for today’s game. It also sounds yummy.
Doreen
If I don’t join in on the menu are you going to blame me if they lose?
Hi Trisha–
I guess Chad is too busy to send you my e-mail. You can reach me at bojo2050@gmail.com. It will be nice to catch up with you.
Bojo, I emailed you a few days ago!!!
Again, impressions from watching the MLB game replay -
This team is looking more and more like the ’09 version, given last night’s comeback PLUS their propensity for scoring in the 7th thru 9th innings (just the ’09 team).
For all the criticism Joe G received for resting his regulars in September … It appears so far that he knew exactly what he was doing.
Bronx, I saw that last night too. It’s disturbing, to say the least, that somebody whould use the threat of posting personal information as a way of intimidation.

Never got it. Try this one for the moment while I check the spam filter.
If what happens after Gardner’s IF single doesn’t happen…oh, boy, don’t want to think about that. Anyway, if Gardner got in and we got nothing out if it then nobody would’ve imagined that we would get 5 runs out if it.
If there’s an unofficial poll re: TDN turf war spilling over here, I’d like to put in my vote that I’m tired of it. I don’t really care who is who. If they say stupid stuff, they’ll get called out for it no matter the identity they assumed at the time.
It’s causing unnecessary confusion and is bring down the blog. Thanks for your concerns, bringing it up initially was actually helpful. But we’d appreciate if you would stop your crusades here.
Those that like it here have actually conformed to blog standards (as silly as that sounds). And as long as they do that there’s no reason to try to drive them out.
Some regulars have engaged in a personal battle, but I hope that, like toddlers, they will grow out of the phase.
I have to say, though, that having multiple identies on a blog is not cool and pretty lame. Maybe the Sybils of the blog can channel through one main identity.

*****************
If you want me to be honest, which I hope you do, I agree with number one but not with two and three. I have to take Sabathia’s word on this.
And by the way this was my first post today aside from a joke about the Joba story:
West Coast Yankee Fan October 16th, 2010 at 10:52 am
I am in such a good mood despite the fog at the beach. I think I will start my day with this:
Number of Post-Season Saves (All Time)
Mariano Rivera – 42
Jonathan Papelbon – 7
I emailed you Wednesday, noontime. Check your email to make sure you didn’t get it!
Can’t see it in my mailbox…weird…
Without disclosing anything major, just let me ask you this. Were any of the following numbers part of the email address? 3, 9
Trisha–
Unless your name is Madam Mulic, and you come from the Republic of Burkina Faso and have a proposal for me, I have nothing.

News Bulletin for you Trisha. You are no more or less important than anyone else here. No matter what you think.
no
Bojo, looking at the forward I think there were two email addresses. I may have picked up the wrong one. Did you want me to use yahoo?
That is weird…try the bojo2050@gmail.com address and resend…thanks!
Uh oh. I think I was had…
Oh–so you know this is me, the other fellow from that transaction was Brian Doh—– or BGD560__
Use the one I just gave you just in case, but let me know what addresses you were given…

************
I have information on some Yankee fans, including some who I have seen post here, that are known to have divulged personal information on others on other blogs in an attempt to intimidate others. I won’t discuss it openly but if you give me an e-mail address you feel safe divulging to me, I will contact you and provide details.
I have to look through my emails now. I responded to your email as soon as I got it. Give me a minute.
I replied to your e-mail just now.
