Is it mandatory for the SNY booth to gush over the fucking yankees all night? agree with Ashie, Bobby was great.

Perhaps , I think Omar's nadir when it came to this role was bringing in Putz for the 8th inning job, it was going to be a dream scenario....unfortunately for various reasons it never panned out.

Brilliant...... " the fingerman can , the fingerman can, oh Jason you knocked it out of the basin"

No doubt about it, Omar was a real putz when it came to the closer role......

Kudos on the thread title .

Saw it today with Lorcan....his big question "why are there 20 Iron Men, makes no sense" It was OK.

That was terrible from Tejada .... Keith says Terry is a brilliant manager and that no one would out coach him......

I like it, Joe Simpson with Keith and Kevin .

So, not getting Hefner a loss somehow took subtle precedence over not getting the team a win. What is wrong with our country? Ron opined the exact thing when SNY showed Hefner shaking hands with Collins....although he said it was about getting Hef a won.....either way it's a bullshit call.

Suspended says Google Now

Matt might want to tweet Mel Gibson......he's a total tool.

Golden again for all the wrong reasons tonight.

Herner deserved better obviously.....

Wasn't Miller going to be a star?

I thought two weeks ago you couldn't do "any worse", but indeed you have, so yeah, you can do worse.

Great thread, thanks for sharing the memories.

I think Duda at first could be a disaster(apologies to real disasters) with the glove, especially if it happened because Davis got sent down....added pressure and all that.

Well, I'm not worried about it.......curious is all.

Because everyone on this team is terrible at baseball. I wonder what team hosting the All Star Game has the worst record going to the festivities?

Ceetar wrote: I get wanting to wish him out of town. I'd still play him but I'd be willing to give those other guys (not Valdespin, Turner) chances too. I'd go with whatever the best chance to win is, as always. But the real important question is why. Even if you don't have a fix, why clears up so much. You'd at least be able to guess if you can fix it or not, if he'll bounce back or not. It allows you to plan. But I'd be as little surprised if he goes 0 for the next 30 as if he goes 15 for the next 30 with 6HR. It's one thing to wish him away to 'work on his swing' but you actually need to know what to work on. (i.e. try to make moves that inflect positive change more than eliminating negative. Release a guy to give someone else a chance. Platoon a guy to try out his partner, not to cut AB for one guy) Does anyone remember something specific that happened last year? Was there any real point we can say "oh, that's what worked?" report of a swing change, energy level, new girlfriend? If I recall he got very feast or famine for a while in June where he was productive but striking out a bazillion times, and then he cut down the strikeouts as well and kept getting on base and mashing. Keith talks about how Ike gets into a wide stance when going bad, like now.....the hitting coach agrees, if I remember correctly in one in game conversation the hitting coach said something to the effect that Ike can be stubborn(didn't use that word I think) and knows he shouldn't go wide but still does........

More solid gold from Francesa......... http://deadspin.com/mike-francesa-really-could-not-give-less-of-a-shit-abou-509330285 I didn't put this in the more relevant soccer thread because a lot of you are like Mike and could care less about soccer and don't visit that thread......and then you would have missed it
