OOTS : We're All Dodgers Fans Tonight

cubs get the 4th run in the 11th.

That awesome Phillies lineup had one good swing, a 3-run home run by Rollins, and didn't score otherwise.

Aside, my cousin just suggested on facebook that my uncle like "The Yankees". You can't wave that in my face this morning and expect me not to take my shot... I suggested that it's being renamed "Red Sox food"

The rain delays in NY & Phil meant I was asleep before both games ended.
How nice it is then to wake up and read about Boston's "7-run seventh" and about the Phils losing it in the 11th after that questionable negated HR that would have lost it for them in regulation.

Yankees finally hit Ortiz in the 4th. You know, gotta make those hitters uncomfortable and all.

he came up next in the 7th and Singled to leadoff, and Doubled to drive in the last two runs.

Jeter was reportedly really happy they played. He didn't want to lose a home game to try to get to 3000.

He didn't get a hit. reached once on a fielding error by Cameron (which was a fastball down the middle, which accounts for being able to hit it as far as RF)

[Frayed Knot]

He actually did get a hit late in the game; 10 to go before the world celebration begins (7 more games on the homestand).

Looks like the Yanx' bullpen mess caused Girardi to stick with big CC in a vain attempt to get through that 7th inning. 1 out, 6 hits, and 4 runs later he was finally yanked for Robertson ... who promptly gave up two hits and three more runs.

Harper is all about trading Rodriguez to the MFY to solve both clubs problems, won't happen yet though he says.

I've been listening to Boomer and Carton the last two mornings and that is all they talked about and all any caller wanted to talk about......gotta hit someone , especially Ortiz although both said hitting last night was no good because it should have happened in game two.....yyybbb.... mildly entertaining...(had never tuned to those two before, as these shows go they weren't terrible)

Hope you didn't listen today then. Misogny galore and not even about sports.

Didn't listen this morning but laughed when I saw your tweet because it's so true.

ESPN was talking about NBA. bleh. same stories they've been doing all week.

I switched to z100 and they were talking about deoderant. Glad it's only a 20 minutes commute.

Interesting. I tentatively like this idea.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Yeah, and with Pool Zapper closing the games for the Yankees, they won't have to worry about Frankie's expensive option vesting.

Re: the thread title.
I would rather Wang Chung tonight.

Later

Of course, his "problem" that the Mets have is the vesting option. I don't like any idea that treats the Mets season as a waste of time and like they aren't, and shouldn't, try to compete. I don't think he even suggests anything the Mets would want back. Just to get rid of him.
