In the Daily Snooze there is more about A-Rod and his penchant for a certain type of stripper.... A-Rod likes the she-male, muscular type

Got the quick hook did Frazier....

Omar had this to say yesterday.... ] "In the year 2007, you know what?" Minaya said. "The reality is, every club, you have guys (that have done steroids)." I swear to said "you know what",I wouldn't make up that shit,know what I mean?

Seems a reasonable position to me.

Bob Davidson on the balk calls... ] “During the first balk, Benítez was looking in for a sign and started,” Davidson said. “His whole body went forward, and he stopped. It looked like he didn’t like the sign and stopped. In the last balk, he got startled by Reyes off third base and kind of shook his whole body. In extra innings you can’t be ticky-tacky, and in my mind they are both definites.” the second balk was called by Hunter Wendelstedt(3rd base)

metsmarathon wrote: what did reyes do that was unschaeferworthy? while the ump certainly can get some of the credit for the fist balk, the second was all jose. Yes,that's what I gave the the 0.5 for.

I struggled over giving Reyes any points for the Giants game,ended up giving 0.5.

Perez - 2 Heilman - 1 Wagner - 0.5 Feliciano - 1 Beltran - 1 Delgado - 3.5 Reyes - 1

Not the type of hitting and scoring the MFY's need right now Alex.

Great game to watch,but that umpire sucks elephants(no balk) balls,I really don't like an umpire helping to decide a game like that,would he make those calls in the WS?...maybe he would.

You can't make this stuff up.... ] City's in funk as Bombers bombing BY NOAH FOWLE and DAVE GOLDINER DAILY NEWS WRITERS The Yankees are in free fall, and they are taking the fortunes of many New Yorkers with them. As the Los Angeles Angels finished their three-game sweep of the Bronx Bombers on Sunday, grim-faced fans streamed past rows of unsold Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter souvenir shirts. Bars - normally filled with exuberant fans after a home win - were half empty. Blue patches of empty seats stand out during supposedly soldout games, a sign that fans are voting with their feet even if they bought tickets. But the damage stretches far beyond the emerald green outfield grass to the shops near Yankee Stadium, and even sends an economic ripple across the city. "A lot of my regulars are disgusted," said Joe Bastone, 48, of the Bronx, owner of the Yankee Tavern. "They don't want to come if the team is losing. It's just not the hot ticket in town." Ask any Yankees fan, and they'll tell you the same thing - they have better things to do than fork over big bucks for tickets to watch the Bombers get crushed, as they did last night, 7-2, by the Toronto Blue Jays. Instead of scalping tickets for double or triple their price, season-ticket holders flood craigslist with offers to unload Yankees tickets at or below face value. "If they keep losing, I'll sell my tickets or give them away," said season-ticket holder Galo Delgado, 30, of Manhattan. "It's worse to come up here than to watch it on TV." The damage to the city's economy - and even its psyche - cuts even deeper. It might not be a coincidence that the Bombers' bad runs in the '60s and late '80s and early '90s coincided with eras of rising crime and economic stagnation. And the Yanks' good runs in the late 1970s and their current postseason run - they've made the playoffs for the past 12 years in a row - seem to coincide with the city's resurgence. Then there are times like now. When the Yankees stumble, the whole city takes it on the chin, in one way or another. Fewer tourists splurge in sporting goods stores. Electronics giants sell fewer big-screen TVs. "Everyone is disgusted and they don't want to spend money," said Abdul Traore, surrounded by discounted Yankees gear at his Jeans Plus store on E. 161st St. by the Stadium. "When the Yankees win, people show up. When they lose, everybody is just mad." dgoldiner@nydailynews.com Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said to be concerned.

I never tire from hearing the Russ Hodges call. Russ Hodges under the picture of Bobby Thomson is the link where you can listen to the ninth inning. Should Branca have walked Thomson to load the bases and set up a potential game-ending double play,a young Mays was on deck.

I can't wait to see the game tonight,Lincecum is supposed to be brilliant,go Ollie. Should be an odd series with the home fans booing Bonds and perhaps getting the chance to cheer Mota(if he's activated and gets to pitch).

Found this today in an article.... ] That John Maine, as the focus on him gets sharper, will start having ugly episodes with the media. The kid is a complete introvert and I believe he resents, not revels in, all the attention. I'm already seeing bad signs: Before games, he avoids being bothered by plugging into an iPod and doing a crossword puzzle at his locker, or spreading across the sofa couch in the clubhouse and watching TV, in both cases curiously never making eye contact with anyone. Mike Geffner is a Lupica clone and this was from his "rundown" article Sunday. Maine I remember Julie Donaldson did a spring training show with Maine and Humber,they were out to dinner talking shop..he seemed alright to me,kinda dull and droning.....

Brown not on the 40,he's at AAA Sacramento River Cats . http://www.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?n=Jeremy%2520Brown&pos=C&sid=milb&t=p_pbp&pid=425851

Will Mota get activated for the Giants series,if so who will be jettisoned?

I'd like to see Julio shorten his swing at least,although I imagine he would look quite odd doing that...

Sosa - 2.5 Feliciano - 0.5 Smith - 1 Wright - 1.5 Delgado - 1 Easley - 1.5 Chavez - 1 Reyes - 0.5 Franco - 0.5

And Chavez brings him home ,4 - 1 Mets

Mets take a 3 - 1 lead,Marlins defence is brutal.. Agter the double steal Easley hits the ball the Uggla who threw to first and the ball was dropped,Wright and Delgado score.Wright woould have scored becasue there was one out...

Delgado - 4.5 Maine - 3 Chavez - 1.5 Beltran - 0.5 Burgos - 0.5
