    I was thinking that maybe he was from Haarlem.

    And because Omar hates white people.

    He came up as a catcher but only played once or twice there in Toronto. He's also made it clear that, "that ain't happening". Willie said yesterday that they put Castro through some drills to see if he needed to be DL'd. They obviously decided against it and said he was usuable last night and could very well start on Thursday.

    Weird frickin game. 5 of the first 6 NYM batters score, and then 5 of the final 8. Leave it to Tim Kurkjian to uncover (via Elias) that this was the first time in 50 years that a team has scored 5 in the 1st and 5 in the 9th but no runs in between.

    Mariners lost to the Twinkies in the other (later) Gay Dame of the day. So the Ms stay tied witht he Yanx for the AL WC lead. - Washington up 2-0 early on Philly - Hudson vs Ortiz in Atlanta not yet started

    I usually turn on the TV at 10 after the hour so as to miss the pre-game crap and sometimes I forget that we're on the road where they start at :05 and I miss the 1st inning. Fortunately I didn't do that today. Always good when your pitcher gets to swing the bat before he throws a pitch.

    RUN!

    With those ones in front of the plate, it's almost as if the hitter knows he's going to be out anyway so he decides that maybe if he pretends it's foul maybe the ump will call it that way. * And on this post I become the 'Dude' who would never not run out a ball

    All hail Chad Bradford, savior of the day. Gets the final 4 outs with only an infield single as a smudge. And now that you know the ending, the way it got there is BETTER than it would have been if they had gone down meekly in the 9th. Mariano's recent 3-4 outings have been fugly.

    I read the original Bourne book about a million years ago. That kind of reading usually isn't up my alley but a couple of his were worthwhile. Liked the original OK, but I'm almost allergic to sequels so haven't gotten around to any of the others. My favorite comment about this new one was where someone said; 'they don't exactly wear you out with dialogue.'
  12. Frayed Knot
    S-o-t-D was good enough to give this one a viewing.
  13. Frayed Knot
    Ortiz walked but Manny K'd to end the game. If the Yanx come back with another 3 runs (at least) in the 10th youse guys are responsible for notifying my next of kin cuz I'm ending it all if that happens.
  14. Frayed Knot
    Or the Os can make a liar out of me by starting the 10th 2B, 2B, GO, HR (Markakis, Tejada, Huff on the hits)
  15. Frayed Knot
    I just picked up the game and figured I'd follow the final outs ... now these fucks are going to win and split the final two games after being shut out for 17-2/3 innings. Chad Bradford got out of the 9th and they're headed for 10. Meanwhile Al Reyes - who blew yesterday's save for TB - is in to try and close this one. - Crisp 1Bs, Lugo 2Bs, (6-5), Pedroia Ks, Youkilis Ks so it's 2 out, tying run on 2nd, Ortiz & Manny due up
  16. Frayed Knot
    Abreu GOs for the 2nd out ... but the Os keep the lefty Walker in to pitch to Shelly Freekin Duncan because they'll go to Giambi if they bring in a RHP .... and Duncan hits a game-tying HR.
  17. Frayed Knot
    Yanx getting shut out for the 2nd straight day against Bal'mer. 3-0 heading for the 9th .... ARod 1Bs, Matsui 1Bs, Posada Ks - Now Abreu PHing (Yanx started a almost all LH hitting lineup against Bedard) and Orioles go for a LHP Tampa went up 5-0 early against Boston & Matsuzaka Now 6-4 Tampa heading for the 9th

    I haven't been one of those bringing the hate, but I see the attitude difference as mainly one of expectations: * Only 5 games worse than last year to the same point, but it feels like more to many since 90 wins (approx pace) is no longer considered an improvement or satisfactory. * Even Reyes & Wright are taking heat even though both are on par to similar statistical years as last year (Reyes's power is down somewhat). Again, now it's expected so you need to do even better to impress us now! * None of the newbies have endeared themselves. Not Schoeneweis, not Alou, nor late-'06 pick-ups/holdovers like Green & Mota. Meanwhile high-priced holdovers Delgado & Beltran are frustrating fans with declines and/or injuries. btw, the NL is LESS down this year compared to 2006. The IL play still favored the AL this season but wasn't nearly as lopsided as last.

    Several of the guys you do have on your 2007 list have changed teams mid-season: Benitez, Wheeler, Julio, Wigginton,

    Assuming that he was told that he's going to be the odd man out from this point on would make sense considering the timing. For all the talk about how Green should have been sitting all along, this is really the first opportunity to do so on a lasting basis. Green's been a mediocre (at best) fill-in over the last 12 months but, between the Nady trade, the various Beltran boo-boos, the lengthy Alou & Chavez DL stints, the Ben Johnson experiment, plus the trials of Milledge & Gomez both breaking in and breaking down, he's pretty much been a neccesary fill-in no matter how mediocre.

    OHernandez - 2.0 Alou - 1.8 Beltran - 2.2 Wright - 1.0 Sosa - 0.4 Schoeneweis - 0.3 Wagner - 0.9 DiFelice - 1.1 Delgado - 0.3
  22. Frayed Knot
    Rizzuto, btw, had been the HoF's oldest living member, although Bob Feller is currently it's longest serving (earliest elected). Feller may now hold both "titles".
  23. Frayed Knot
    Make that 21 (btw, 15 for Rivera)
  24. Frayed Knot
    By my count, Wagner has 20 "perfect" appearances this year. That would be outings of at least 1 full inning with no baserunners.
  25. Frayed Knot
    No, Newhan is in N'awlins
