Do we have to play the Yankees every year? Enough already.

You can all? Amusing.

They were right. Valdespin pinch hit FOR Hairston.

[bmfc1]

LWFS--do you think that's what Buck meant? Perhaps you're right.

[Met Hunter]

Pretty sure Carlin and the SNY crew questioned that move too. Did anyone watch the game?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Buck was questioning the wisdom of hitting for Hairston with Valdespin. That's how he set up the whole mini-rant.

Valdespin is a good-- and that's generous, I think-- see-ball-hit-ball hitter. He's a pretty terrible hitter in terms of approach/situational awareness.

That Papelbon luckshot will have Terry reaching for Valdespin's lever in close-and-late situations FAR more than he oughta.

[bmfc1]

I stand corrected. I'd rather have had Hairston up.
