Sorta like "I'm bored and have a 4 minute subway ride to grand central without 3G,a quarter ain't too much to pay for this rag to entertain me until I arrive.

But still Bell was coming off a season where he went .173 / .287 / .288 // .576. Should somebody really be obliged to tell him he's playing for his life?* It's just the way the world works. *I have review this afternoon at four. Four o'clock on a Friday before a holiday weekend(!) You bet your ass I know my job's on the line. ballplayers are dumb. He should've seen it coming obviously. And he probably wouldn't have suddenly become good in Spring if he was 'trying' nor would it necessarily have prompted them to NOT make the decision they were probably set on making anyway. But ballplayers also always seem to think the bad is a fluke and they're god's gift and all that. Probably wasn't even thinking 'i sucked last year, i should kick it in gear'. probably thought "I'm awesome, i'm the RFer, let's get in shape"

    Francesa complained a a bunch too. Nunez's defense or something. I saw the throwing error yesterday. Jeter doesn't get to it and it goes into to CF. the guy's on first, maybe second, base anyway. But Jeter's way doesn't look bad, so let's give him a gold glove and rave about his sure hands. I think the Derek Bell thing is a little more unfair, I know it's "The Major Leagues" but Spring Training doesn't exactly count, and guys do different things when they think they're guarenteed a job. But still Posada flipped out too. Pettitte's a cheater that was always about himself/family more than the team, like when he left to play in Houston and last year when he left the Yankees hanging for months on his decision to retire or not. Rivera's probably the best guy of their 'core', and he probably cheated too.

    Come watch The Great Derek Jeter ground out softly to shortstop against minor leaguers.

    Coming back Monday..is he ducking the drama? I heard Michael Kay driving home. They were debating the whole Jeter probably shouldn't be leading off thing. Michael Kay insisted that you can't do that to him, etc etc, no one knows how to win like he does, he always thinks he's the best player on the field. La Greca tried to counter with shouldn't he be a leader and do what's best for the team, if he's never going to accept he's _not_ the best won't this just cause drama for years? I'm pretty sure Kay's just upset that with the injury being in Jeter's knee, he can't get down on them.

    In a different league, was Offered Michael Cuddyer or Carlos Pena and JJ Hardy or Asdrubal Cabrera for Reyes. Can't. Practice what I preach. Reyes Will. Not. Be. Traded. besides which, in this points league he's 9 points ahead of Matt Kemp who's second and 35 ahead of Adrian Gonzalez who is third.

    Adrien Gonzalez may have broken Cole Hamels. line drive ripped his glove off and he's out of the game now. If they broke him, i'll forgive them for a poor showing in this series. The injuries are creeping in for the Phillies, starting at the back of the rotation and working upwards like a worm. X-Rays are negative.

And it's nice that Hairston has seemed to go back to hitting the lefties like he makes a habit of. Of course, it'll be nice to have Wright back (not just in this regard) Pagan did get some hits off the lefties last night too, of course he's hitting everything all of a sudden.

    Frayed Knot wrote: I think Leyland was out there during the Byrdak/Parnell "mix-up" to see if he could convince the umps that Collins had in fact called on Parnell first meaning he either had to come into the game and pitch to at least one batter (the LHB in case) or be declared as "announced" and therefore ineligible for the rest of the game. This is the kind of stuff that needs to be in a game story, not bs about last year's record.
  23. Ceetar
    This is why the best I do is scroll through all the headlines and don't read most of them. game stories? ha! I think it's fair to mention last year. But not to lay it out there as a recipe for disaster this year without breaking down why you think that. The "I'm a beat writer/analyst/reporter/GM candidate and therefore smarter than you and better at guessing" is not a reason.

    G-Fafif wrote: Collins very proactive in the postgame taking the responsibility for Byrdak not being ready. Wonder if that was code for throwing Debus under de bus. i'm wondering if maybe he didn't want Byrdak at all? slip of the tongue? Did he mean to tell him to get up and ready and forgot?

    looking forward to Gwreck's recap, if he has time before the next one..
