Very nice article Dave..well said.

Big spot,eight inning with the bases loaded,two out and down a run,A-Rod at the plate....and he pops it up....love it.

Kay asked Girardi why does such a great athlete like Rodriguez have trouble with pop-ups...Girardi said he thought that was a weakness in his game..Joe went onto say he believed every great player had a weakness,without missing a beat Kay asked him what Jeters weakness in his game was.....but it sounded like Kay thought he had found a player that had no weaknesses in his game...Girardi thought going to his left on grounders was his weakness...Kay is such a smug fucker.

Joe Girardi then gave the viewers four reasons why it's tough to play under these conditions.

Ha..I'm certain Gary said that during the game last night.....

John Maine is the only pitcher in MLB history who's last name is a State...I bet Dice-man can't say that.

]Tom Seaver kept the final ball from each of his 60+ shutouts. WOW...not that he kept his balls but that he had that many shoutouts...

So there are maybe 60+ African Americans in the majors,not a lot ,hardly any are starting pitchers..Willis the only one?....

Prince Fielder fooled me,his Bio said born in Ontario.CA...which I assumed was Canada,it's California.. My list was culled from the 25 man roster so I am sure I missed some,thanks 83.

African American players in the Majors. Angels - Garret Anderson , Gary Matthews,Darren Oliver Astros - none that I can see. Athletics - Milton Bradley,Shannon Stewart Blue Jays - Royce Clayton ,Vernon Wells Braves - none that I can see Brewers - Rickie Weeks ,Tony Gwynn,Bill Hall , Cardinals - Preston Wilson Cubs - Jacque Jones,Cliff floyd,Derek Lee, Devil Rays - Edwin Jackson,born in Germany...,B.J. Upton ,Carl Crawford ,Delmon Young Dimondbacks - Tony Clark , Orlando Hudson, Dodgers - Marlon Anderson ,Juan Pierre????, Giants - Barry Bonds, Dave Roberts9 born in Japan), Randy Winn Indians - none that I can see Mariners - Jason Ellison , Marlins - Dontrelle Willis , Mets - Lastings Milledge,Damion Easley ??? Nationals - Ray King ,Dmitri Young ,Jerome Williams Orioles - Freddie Bynum ,Jay Paton Padres - Mike Cameron Phillies - Tom Gordon ,Jimmy Rollins ,Ryan Howard Pirates - Shawn Chacon Rangers - None that I can see Red Sox - Coco Crisp???? Reds - Ken Griffey , Rockies - LaTroy Hawkins , Royals - Emil brown , Reggie sanders Tigers - Gary Sheffield , Curtis Granderson ,Marcus Thames Twins - Torii Hunter ,Jason Bartlett ?? , White Sox - Jermaine Dye , Yankees - Derek Jeter I did a quick scan of Rosters and as far as I can tell here are the African American players in the majors.

Derek Lee might want to honor Jackie,or Jacque Jones .

Top stuff by Griffey and Randolph,nice way to pay tribute. I admire the honesty of Milledge,would have been easy to BS right there when asked about Robinson.

I'll be interested to see how Beltran fairs with the voting for this series,in the three games he went 4 for 12,had 6 RBI,had the great throw to home,made a nifty sliding catch to rob Aaron Miles of a hit in the game last night. Beltran drove in the first Mets runs Tuesday and Wednesday night,not a bad series.

For an NL only team that's pretty good,and your pitching isn't terrible by any means,hell if Lilly and Wells keep giving you good starts like they did this week then it's all good. What about Lidge...fantasy owners don't know what to do with him.

Maine - 5 Beltran - 3 Green - 1 Reyes - .5 LoDuca - .5

Should be fun scoring this tonight.

Thought they were fun commercials and nothing to be upset about.

I'm liking Maz in the studio,not sure whats going on in the booth but the guys seem to be trying to hard to be funny...but it's early.

="Edgy DC"]I'm just sitting down. How'd things go tonight? not good.

Great to see the auld fella early doors.

I love watching a pitcher with a nasty curveball,and Sele's is nasty.

That's a brutal outfield they have,few things are sweeter than seeing LaRussa pissed in the dugout.
