Glad to see the Yanks have lost 6 in a row

The Yankees had been too quiet this year, up until this weekend. I was surprised that it was Dumbo that brought out the drama though.

The Posada Adventure is so freaking hilarious. I love seeing a team overpay for a nonproducing ex catcher and then get all mad when the guy doesn't want to be humiliated by the move.

I can't believe the Yankees need to stupe to publicly air their grievance with Posada.

In what world does having a DH bat 9th make any sense whatsoever? Is the Yankees bench that shallow that Posada is still the best option? Thats pretty funny right there for a team with a huge payroll.

PS: The DH is stupid. NL rules make the game so much more interesting.

You lost me at the last comment Prog. NL games are nap inducing.

it's even more odd that the yankees kept him in general

WTF was Vin Mazzaro doing?

Earned himself a trip to Triple A.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

reds won

Here we go.
Kershaw opening up with a two game series with the Giants.

The two guys that seriously hurt that Giants fan still have not been caught.
The reward for any lead to the arrest of the culprits continues to rise.
The LAPD says they are following about 150 leads.

 

[Centurion]

...and we lose both games.

 

[ProgMatinee]

Thanks for the help, Dodgers.

Dude , Mazzaro is my friends brother! Granted he didn't have it that night, but WTF was the manager thinking after the guy surrendered 5 runs? Get him out of there!

No doubt!
He should have been taken out well before they finally decided to do so.

The manager needed him to eat up some innings. KC doesn't have a deep bullpen and he needed to suck it up and eat innings.

Mazzaro went from a 7+ to a 22+ ERA.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

Mazzaro went from a 7+ to a 22+ ERA.

 

[The Josh]

Mazzaro went from a 7+ to a 22+ ERA.

Yeah, giving up that man runs will do that to ya. He got roughed up pretty good but that happens.

 

[Centurion]

Dodgers can't catch a break.
Two losses to the White Sox.

As a side note: I wonder who's signing there checks now....

 

[The Ween]

@ INK

@ INK

The Sox are coming to town pretty hot to rectify that series from last month.

I can't wait for tomorrow's Buccholz-Masterson match-up. I still bemoan giving up old Rusty in the Victor Martinez deal.

 

[Centurion]

Arrrgh!
Even when the Dodgers are ahead in the bottom of the 9th, they still can't win. Whatever.


On a positive note:

One of the suspects in the beating of the Giant's fan at Dodgers Stadium has been taken into custody. Finally!

I hope they squeeze his ____ing balls as hard as they can to get him to squeal the name of his partner.

Phills extending that losing streak for the big red machine.
