Don't you remember? You called me Al -- It was Al, Al, all the time...

Who are the Hall of Famers with least differential between BA and SP?

Ichiro...?

This is great.

Following on GameDay -- Castillo injury serious?

Most of all, I'm sorry I made you blue I'm betting the gorilla will too.

Just tuning in. Perez stole a base?????

I vote for Results delayed up to 5 minutes. Bill Veeck once had the fans manage a game.

But he does look a little like Ernie Lombardi.

I'll take the job!

]That's a nice crop of new names. Two Beckhams from Georgia, both shortstops, but are not related. I'd draft one of them if he'd bring Posh Spice along with him.

Castillo has good creds -- when on his game -- as a 2-spot hitter, and when you're sitting one or two of your power guys, it makes sense to put Church in the middle of the lineup.

NASHUA, N.H. � Witnesses say a Red Sox-Yankees argument in a bar led to taunting in the parking lot and then, according to prosecutors, to murder. On Sunday, prosecutors charged Ivonne Hernandez of Nashua with reckless second-degree murder for allegedly running down two people with her car outside the bar early Friday. Hernandez was scheduled for a preliminary hearing Monday in Nashua District Court. Whether she had a lawyer could not immediately be determined. Matthew Beaudoin, 29, also of Nashua, suffered serious head and brain injuries and died later Friday. An argument in Slade's Food & Spirits intensified early Friday when Hernandez, 43, announced she was a Yankees fan, said Tanya Moran, a bartender who was there. Moran said the argument spilled outside, and at least one person in a group that included Beaudoin began chanting "Yankees suck!" when they saw a Yankees sticker on Hernandez's car. Hernandez allegedly gunned her car in the parking lot and struck Beaudoin and friend Maria Hughes, 21. Beaudoin's sister Faith Beaudoin said was Hughes had only minor injuries because Beaudoin shielded his friend. Nashua, 45 miles northwest of Boston, is Boston Red Sox country. Moran said Beaudoin came to the bar regularly to socialize, sing karaoke and have fun. "He came to hang out. He didn't really drink much," she told The Telegraph of Nashua. Beaudoin "kept to himself," Slade's disc jockey Chris Lovett told the New Hampshire Union Leader. "He wasn't an instigator." Faith Beaudoin said her brother was a 1997 graduate of Nashua High School who worked dealing poker at Sharky's in Manchester and Nashua. She said organs including his heart, live and kidneys were donated to others. "He was always helping people when he was alive, and he's still saving lives," she said, choking back tears during the weekend.

Maine - 6 Church - 1 Anderson - 1 Casanova - 1 Castillo - 1

How was JazzFest? I used to go every year, but not in a long time.

Staying in.

4th career steal of home for Alou

Never saw such a group for complaining about how runs are scored.

I did read the link, tho not to look up Ashford -- whom I had not remembered.

This will be the Temple of Doom for the Braves.

From the NY Times, June 2, 1948: ]OTTMEN SCORE, 10-1, AFTER 4-3 SETBACK Annex Afternoon Game on 13 Hits The Giants and Dodgers went at it hip and thigh in an all-day tournament at Ebbets Field yesterday, but by the time the last survivor in a grand aggregate of 57,102 spectators had given way to sheer exhaustion... 34,149 mingled their cheers and groans in the afternoon as Master Mel's Marauders larruped four Dodger pitchers for 13 blows.

Dick Allen and Beltran both better than Munson.
