He is the example of what baseball is about.
The only time he grandstands, well u know the rest.
The 3rd one left so fast Sterling didnt have time to say
it is high, it was there it goes, it`s gone.

Reminded me very much of how Winfield used to knock them out of the ol' park

lol - always in the back of my mind is how like 60% of the 10 (kidding) saves Mo has ever blown in his career are against the Sox. We need a 3 run lead to be safe.

[BigJPinDC]

Yankeeeesss Winnn!!!

[BigJPinDC]

Another awesome addition to the rivalry history. Swisher is unstoppable.

[Islayphile]

NY Yankees...sometimes down but NEVER out!

[BigJPinDC]

All is right in the world. CC pitching through the 8th, Mariano closing, A-Rod homering and Jeter .400-ing.

[BigJPinDC]

How the catchers will communicate wtih the pitchers tonight is a mystery to me.

I feel like it was a good trade.
Montero didn't have anywhere to play, and Pineda has a huge upside.
The 4 man race for the last 2 rotation spots will be fun to watch!

And remember, Posada was once denigrated for his lack of ability behind the dish, yet did better than OK IMHO. True, he was never Pudge, but he was never the Pizza man either.

OK, you decide . . . did I predict this, or jinx it?

[BigJPinDC]

What a mess this is now, huh?

[x man]

MP and Joba out till into next season,
Andy got tagged in Trenton wed. nite.
The rotation was my worry since we didnt get Lee
and now i`m not sleeping.
Oy vay.

I was at the game that Andy pitched in Trenton

He didn't get tagged....very poor fielding that was scored as a hit vs. an error....that one allowed 2 of the runs.

Another error in the 3rd led to another run.

The Thunders' 3rd baseman made both blunders...he needs a lot of work defensively.

So, how did he look to you?

[x man]

Saw Joba in dugout, seems he`s wearing a boot, and might return this yr.

He looked pretty good to me.

1. Still has strike out quality stuff

2. Pick off move is stilll very sharp

3. Pounced off the mound for a ball and he looked very quick and agile doing it.
