Another Observation By "The Master Of The Obvious"

It has been opined by FOX Sports Lead Baseball Analyst, Tim Mc Carver, that the rules in regarding the Prohibition of MLB Players from wearing jewelry during games, be enforced. Perhaps, MLB could enforce a new rule, barring both Buck & Mc Carver, from using hair dye. Even Up! Later, Gators!

Remember Eric Gagne' Last Season?

He was supposed to be the "Bridge" to Papelbon and Okajima:

You know how THAT turned out, which only led to longer lines at "The Cask 'N Flagon" and Game On Cafe';

I'm afraid that Okie's Shelf Life is expiring, as is often the case of Asian Born Players, except for Ichiro Suzuki;

I now realize that in Japan, they only play about the Equivalent of AA Ball;

"Dirty Water" Chapter One

A
Sunday morning in Boston—just like a Sunday morning
in any big American city—is quiet and traffic-starved,
except for the ribbons of church-goers making their way to
both large and small bastions of Christianity.Then,too,there
are the groggy couples slogging along in the direction of
museums or brunch spots, the tempo of their walk bogged
down by the lingering saturation of Saturday night sex.
But smack in the middle of this city—Boston—a greater
edifice is about to open its portals hours earlier than usual to
welcome a milling throng of tens of thousands:The Red Sox
are scheduled to play a make-up game at noon, the first of a
day-night doubleheader. With that, the routine at Fenway
Park is awry in order to accommodate the shift.
The previous night’s game went into extra innings and
lasted four and a half hours.That,plus the shift,will make for
bleary-eyed personnel and strained ballplayers. The grounds
crew arrives at 5 AM instead of seven; the food vendors and
souvenir concessionaires are already prepping the microwaves
or tidying the t-shirt piles by eight; and at nine, the ushers
gingerly remove their blazers from the closets. Also at nine
o’clock, the venerable clubhouse manager Joe Cochran enters
the special players’ door on Van Ness Street. Not until ten
CHAPTER

does the press begin trickling in, generally hung over and
grouchy, slugging down coffee out of giant cardboard cups.
Finally, right on their heels, manager Terry Francona and
his team drive their cars,SUVs and pick-ups into the players’
lot tucked under the ramp at Gate D. Most come alone, but
some are dropped off by wives,who get a goodbye smooch.To
the family dog astride the back seat—a pat on the head. God
forbid the kids left the back door open and allowed the dog to
escape; ballplayers need their rituals.
The guys will enter their clubhouse,not only tired out,but
still feeling the vestiges of jet lag. They’d arrived from KC a
few days earlier, a flight that landed at Logan at 3 AM,
though each one—to a man—would insist, if pressed, that
he’s never affected by a missed night’s sleep. Denial and
superstition go hand in hand.
It is now 8:55. A good-looking guy, maybe Hispanic,
wearing a press tag around his neck and shouldering a bulky,
black, mesh backpack, strolls along Van Ness Street, past the
player’s parking lot. He turns the corner onto Yawkey Way
and arrives at Gate D during the morning’s most hectic
moments. Sacks of change—a quarter of a million dollars
worth—are being unloaded off the Dunbar armored truck to
be wheeled into the park under heavy guard, where they will
be dispersed among the concession and souvenir stands.
The lumpiness of the guy’s backpack should have raised
the eyebrow of the low-level security guard at D, his boss off
to see to the money truck. Sportswriters’ backpacks are flat,
though thick with their laptops layered between notebooks.
But this particular guard’s usual duties are to make sure no
one is sneaking under turnstiles.So he doesn’t even take in the
backpack; he actually gives the guy quite a friendly wave in
hopes of one day maybe making it into his column.
Also, the sportswriter is dressed sharply, and has a pres-
2
Dirty Water
ence about him what with the high-end sunglasses and hun-
dred-and-fifty dollar haircut. He’s briskly entered the park
with the superior air of a sportswriter on a deadline. He will
go directly to the clubhouse when only the clubhouse manag-
er is inside—the coaches and trainers won’t arrive until just
before the players do.
Joe Cochran is in a poor frame of mind because DeMarlo
Hale,the third base coach,impulsively decided to get in some
work in left and center with Coco Crisp and Jacoby Ellsbury,
the player brought up from Pawtucket to share left field
duties while Manny Ramirez recuperates from a strained
oblique. DeMarlo, Coco and Jacoby are about to arrive, so
that the kid could practice positioning himself to play the
tricky caroms off the Green Monster.
Cochran is frustrated that his clubhouse isn’t in the top
state of preparedness he prides himself on. The threesome
came barreling in. Despite this extra disruption, he quickly
has them organized and out to the field.
When the slick sports writer peeks in, Cochran is in the
shower room unloading a box of toiletries, lining up the play-
ers’ brands of choice on the shelves under the mirrors. He is
cursing actually, digging frantically for Soothe Sensation Post-
Shaving Therapy Solution, the aftershave Manny insists on
splashing over his face or else he won’t come out.This attitude,
described in a term now embedded in baseball lexicography—
Manny being Manny—is also reflected in Manny’s work ethic;
though sidelined for a few days with a painful strained oblique,
he’s arrived early too, so he can give more detailed tips to
Jacoby. Manny is already out in left field stretching and jog-
ging.
Perfect.
The sportswriter walks swiftly across the lounge area,past
the soda and juice machines, and to the nearest inner door
3
Mary-Ann Tirone Smith and Jere Smith
which happens to be the new interview room. He opens the
door, slides his backpack from his shoulders, and places it on
the floor just inside. He eases the door shut again and walks
out.
The only thing Cochran ever heard was his own grum-
bling.
The guy takes the same route back out, waves to several
vendors, and to the bathroom attendants and ushers arriving
in force.Any of them who might have registered his counter-
feit press pass tag didn’t make much of the fact later that they
couldn’t recall his face.These press guys come and go.
The sportswriter strode right out through Gate D, now
mobbed with personnel rushing past a just-forming line of
tourists waiting to start their guided tour of Fenway, twelve
bucks apiece. They will end up quite thrilled at their good
luck—getting to see the unexpected mini-training session
going on at the foot of the Green Monster. Manny will be
sure to toss a ball or two to their group.
The sportswriter heads around the corner and up Van
Ness.At the gas station,he jumps into a Cadillac Escalade,its
engine idling.The SUV immediately speeds off past the tick-
et-holders heading toward Yawkey Way, and past the non-
ticket-holders hot-footing it to The Cask‘n Flagonas well as
several other bars of lesser renown along Lansdowne Street,
all opened early on this beautiful Sunday morning.
THE NUMBER ONE PLACE
Sunday, 8:05 AM
I know it’s mid-season, but I want to give new read-
ers of this blog a sense as to what goes on here.
My name’s Jay, I live near Boston, and I’ve been
doing this website for five years. At least once a
4
Dirty Water
day, I’ll give you updates on our beloved Boston
Red Sox, or whatever else I’ve got an opinion on.
I’ll give you my take on last night’s game, but don’t
expect a traditional rundown. I’m assuming you’ve
watched the game, are familiar with the players,
know the bases are run counterclockwise, etc. After
all, you areprobably a Red Sox fan. When I see
people in Sox hats, I can assume they are probably
die-hards. When I see people in Yankees hats, well,
I don’t ask them who played shortstop before Derek
Jeter, because they probably don’t know anyone
everplayed shortstop other than ol’ Mr. Calm Eyes.
(All apologies to trueYankee fans.)
While the newspapers might talk about how much
“respect” we all have for Derek Jeter after a game
against the Yankees, I’ll tell you how much I can’t
stand looking at his face. Because that’s what fans
really say, and that’s how I really feel. I’m not audi-
tioning for a spot at the Boston Globe. I also go to a
lot of games at Fenway Park, and will post here any
pictures or videos I shoot at Sox games.
I’m always getting questions about the name, The
Number One Place. People think I’m implying that
they should turn here first for everything Red Sox. I
hope so, but I’m not that arrogant. It’s actually an
ad-lib from the song that’s been played after every
Red Sox win at Fenway Park for about ten years
now, “Dirty Water” by the Standells. After the line
Boston you’re my home, the singer snarls, Aw,
you’re the number one place.
5
Mary-Ann Tirone Smith and Jere Smith
But you should’ve known that, Red Sox Nation! Yes,
I know “Red Sox Nation” is now a copyrighted term
for a team-sanctioned fan club you have to pay to
get into. But I’ve been using it since “Red Sox
Nation” was just a term describing the team’s global
following of fans. The “official” RSN gives you some
good benefits, and I understand the ownership’s
desire to snatch up the popular title and market it,
but to me, that term will always stand for all the Sox
fans who have lurked in every town in the country—
even before the media noticed we were every-
where. That’s got nothing to do with the team’s suc-
cess. If it had, we would’ve given up a long time
ago. . .
Day-night doubleheader today against Toronto. I
smell a sweep.
COMMENTS:
MattySox said: Thanks for the update, I never knew
what the hell was going on here.

title in a hundred yrs, it’ll be another hundred till you
win anuther. the usual boston choke is on, looks like
the yanks will win the al east again this year! go

ConnecticutSoxFan said: This is what I deal with, day
in, day out around here. The Red Sox could win the
next 30 World Series, and Yankee fans would still
make us out to be losers, and themselves winners:
“Sure, the Sox have more championships now, but
6
Dirty Water
ours are classier.”
Jay said: Mr. 26rings, I see you’re still a little bitter
over 2004. You Yankee fans called us “chokers” my
whole life. Now that you guys have committed the
ultimate choke to us, maybe it’s time to lay off that
word. Three years later, it’s just as sweet: We were
down three games to none to you guys, came back
to win the American League Championship Series,
and then went on to win our first World Series in 86
years. I’d say “I know how you feel,” but I don’t—my
team never choked that bad. . . .
RebGirl said: Ouch! Good call, Jay. And just because
our huge lead has been cut to eight games, I’d
hardly say we’re “choking” anyway. By the way, Jay,
what’s with this “us” and “we” stuff? Do you think
you’re on the team?
Jay said: Reb, when a team has been part of your
family your entire life, you can refer to them as
“we,” heh. Just the way I was raised, I guess. I’m a
lifelong Sox fan, you know. My great-grandfather
learned to speak English listening to the Sox on the
radio.

Penance(Or Is It Torture) NOT Pennants

A lad went to The Sacrament Of Penance at his local Catholic Parish. He mentioned that he had not been to the Sacrament in 5 years:

The Priest hears his Confession of Sins Committed and comments that due to his length of time the lad had been away from The Sacrament, that the priest would have to prescribe a stiff Penance;

Priest: "Here's a Ticket for a Mets Game. AND You Have to watch The WHOLE Game. That's your penance";

For the lad did his Penance and the Mets lost-some Penance, as the Lad was a Yankee Fan;

Honours, Knights Of Columbus Style In East Glendale, Queens




Every year, at the last meeting in June, on the Cusp of a new Columbian Year, Msgr Sherman Council #5103, Knights of Columbus of East Glendale, Queens, has a Ceremonial Party to honour their own:
This year was a party that honoured not only members, but people from the Council's "Metropolitan Area", so to speak;
That Metro Area is East Glendale, Glendale and Forest Hills in Queens;
In the 1st Picture, a University Seminarian, living at the Cathedral College Residence in Douglaston, Queens and from East Glendale's Sacred Heart Parish, as he received a $500 cheque, in which the Council receives back from the Knights of Columbus Supreme Council, 20%, as part of the Supreme Council's "R S V P" or "Refund Support Vocations Program";
In the 2nd Picture, were some of the Winners of The Knights Of Columbus Essay Program. The rather tall Gentleman is Ralph Kleemann, Past Grand Knight and 4th Degree Past Faithful Navigator, who is both Youth Director and Financial Secretary;
In the 3rd Picture, Grand Knight Donald Gander(Past Grand Knight as of July 1st), in the centre, himself a previous Knight of The Year, is pictured with a previous Knight of The Year, Ralph Kleemann and with the newest Knight of The Year, Mr Frank Gander, Don's Brother, in intense service to his Parish Community and Council;
It brought back memories of when I was in my last days as Grand Knight, honouring those people for their mutual support of Council and Community and Don went one better,which I appreciated watching, very much;
There was the party afterwards and, since the Red Sox Game wasn't available, it was a choice of watching the Mets on SNY or the Yankees on My9;
Neither game was worth watching. The NY Mets wisecracks were flowing, like "Stick a fork in them. They're Done";
Mets lost to The Worst Team in Baseball, Seattle, 11-0, while the Yankees lost to the Pirates in Pittsburgh, 12-5, for the 1st Appearance of the NY Yankees in Pittsburgh, since the 1960 World Series;
It was truly a Night To Remember. My Good Friend, the Faithful Navigator of Moylan 4th Degree Assembly, presented Don Gander with a 4th Degree Certificate of Appreciation and Don's Past Grand Knight's Jewel. This PFN also did the same for me in 1998;
It was a great evening;
To Dominic, himself a Past Grand Knight, I wish you well in this endeavor, as the latest Grand Knight in the Sherman Saga;

George Carlin-Real-And Gone



It was on a Sunday Evening on CBS, in the 1960s', when I was 11 years old, in 1966, when I 1st heard of George Carlin. He was Clean Cut, in suit and tie, and did both the "Hippie Dippy Weatherman" and J. Edgar Hoover, hosting a late night TV Show, ala "The Tonight Show":

This was the 1960s and times were changing and George was 29 Years Old, far-removed from Morningside Heights or "White Harlem" as George would put it;

Then, in the time of 1971, George came out with his 1st Album, called "Class Clown", and he had an explanation of what "Shoot" meant. "Shoot is s--t with two Os'";

In 1972, in Milwaukee, he did a comedy routine, mentioning the 7 Words you can never say on television. But, that was in the time before HBO, Showtime and others;

In one comedy routine on HBO, George talked of paradoxes, such as "Bigger Houses, but no children, Gadgets to make things go faster, but not enough time for the kids and family";

In short, he was NOT merely a Comedian, but Social Commentator as well;

And Missed, he will be. George died of heart failure on Sunday;

The Only Thing Missing From The Canadian Flag Is A Hammer And Sickle

In each Canadian Province, there's a So-Called Government Commission called The Human Rights Commission. It's also on the Federal Level, out of Ottawa:

I have an admission to make, since I do originate in the Borough and County Of Queens, in The City Of New York, having been born in 1955 in the County of Kings also called the Borough of Brooklyn;

Our Television and Radio Networks, tended to be under private ownership or stock ownership. When I had gone into Canada in 1963, for the 1st time, at the age of 8, it was to Quebec, I had gone. Sure, it was across the border from the USA, but there was something a wee bit strange;

It was called CBC and it's owned by the Canadian Government, as is the case, today. Only in those days, CBC tended to run American TV Shows a few days to a week ahead of the Networks down here. Today, Canadian Content is much-stronger;

Perhaps, as in Politically-Correct, or as my Brother 4th Degree Sir Knight Of Columbus says "Pure Crap."

It was on NBC in this Country, where Laura Ingalis Wilder's story, "Little House On The Prairie", was a prime time staple;

CBC, in full flowing PC, comes up with a show about a Moslem Family in the Prairie Provinces, called "Little Mosque On The Prairie", a comedy about a Mohammedan Family, adjusting to life in Canada;

Now, let's suppose I criticize the show, comparing the show to the NY Yankees, by stating that both the NY Yankees and the Show, both suck. Will I get a threatening letter from one of these Barrister Full Employment Commissions?

Like Will Shakespeare once quipped, "Let's kill all the barristers" or something to that effect, will comparing barristers with white sharks, cause the barrister profession to live up to the white shark reputation?

Like my friend Fitzy, The Ultimate Boston Sports Fan would say to these Censors, a hearty "GFY", and it doesn't mean "Good For You";

WHAT The Traditional Latin Mass Or Novus Ordo Mass Ad Orientum Will Do

The Priest Is facing East. He's NOT Turning his back to you, but leading you in "The Holy Sacrifice Of The Mass":

For you see, The Sacrificing Priesthood means that Fr.Xavier or Msgr Feirstein, are NOT the Stars Of The Mass, for Christ is. He is Offering up Christ for the remission and expiation of sins. The Host, unspotted, in Latin(Hostia), means victim, hence Christ is Victim, offered in Sacrifice, which is the case of the Offertory;

The Mystery Of Faith, is Transubstantiation, where by the Host and Wine, become the Body And Blood Of Christ, with only the Sensible Qualities or "Accidents", remaining;

Mr Curt Schilling Needs Surgery On His Shoulder And Thank You For The Memories

Funny, but I had a feeling that it would come to an end this way, as Curt Schilling needs surgery. I remember one evening, where I had a discussion with Allison of Beverly, MA, at Red Sox Haunt, "The Hairy Monk", which doubles as an Irish Pub at East 25th Street and 3rd Avenue, in Murray Hill, Manhattan:

She insisted that the rest will have Curt back on track, while I thought that Surgery by Curt's Surgeon, Dr Morgan, would take care of the problem;

Curt is Curt and has elected to go under a knife, to fix his problem shoulder up, which is too bad;

I can see why Allison thought that Therapy would be better. After all, I'm now under the treatment of Alternative Therapy, which is making me feel better as a person, than seeing some MD, who prescribes pills for Symptoms, without knowing the whole story about me;

Curt's gone for the Season and, perhaps, his career may be over, which is sad;

My advice to Omar Minaya-don't let Jeffy order you to sign a Post-Op Curt-it might not be fun and Weasal Bernazard may replace you;

But, for Game 6 Of The Great '04 Comeback, Thanks For The Memories, Curt and for '07, too;

In regards to FOX Sports Lead Baseball Analyst, James Timothy Mc Carver, often the brunt of furious criticism and Mockery, he's actually a far better Play By Play man than Joe Buck, who brings out the worst in Jimmy Timmy;

I actually found Jack Buck to be way better than Joe, anyway, but Kenny Albert, in style and sound, sounds more like Marv Albert, every day and Kenny Albert should replace Joe Buck, who sounds so insipid, and thinks he's so-funny;

Why do YES Network Commentators on Yankees Games, sound so rehearsed, or like George Steinbrenner, or Hank The Lead Son, have shotguns aimed at commentators heads? No wonder YES is called "NO" or "Al Yanquezeera";

On NESN, there are the comedic moments in the booth, with Don Orsillo And Jerry Remy, reminding me of moments on "The Carol Burnett Show", especially involving The Late and Awfully-Funny Harvey Korman and Tim Conway, with Orsillo in the Korman Role, and RemDawg as "Conway". Add Comedian-Actor, Lenny Clarke for an occasional stop in the booth and it can be riotously-funny;

Those Guys on SNY Mets Telecasts are good and balanced, though in the case of Several Time All Star 1st Baseman Keith Hernandez, we do know that you were on "Seinfeld" as a One Night Stand-er with Elaine Benes;

Why The Mockery of George Steinbrenner on "Seinfeld"? Well, Jerry has Mets Season Tickets and Larry David was a Brooklyn Dodgers Fan from, where else, Brooklyn;

Favorite Choice of mine, to having Old NY Mets GM, Steve Phillips, replaced with? Quite Easy, "Seinfeld" Character, George Costanza, who went crazy, working for "Steinbrenner", played by Larry David;

Funny, but Ron Darling, in those bank commercials, looks somewhat like RemDawg;

You don't get moments like this in a Major League Baseball Broadcast Booth anymore. Last Season, in working with Kenny Albert, Tim Mc Carver did an inning of play by play, while spinning stories with Hall of Famer, Ralph Kiner, as the Mets played The Dodgers. It was "WWOR On FOX" and it was like the '80s and '90s, all over again;

What is it with Red Sox Ownership that "Sweet Caroline", is played in the 8th Inning? it was written by Neil Diamond, a YANKEES Fan from Brooklyn, NY. It's a nice sing a long, but Red Sox Fans tend to go with Edgy, Celtic Punk Rock of "The Dropkick Murphys", to which I concur;

I've started taking Acidophillus, which is Yogurt Bacteria, the Good Bacteria for the body. I'm starting to feel like my Old Self Again;

I like to experiment with Natural Therapies and find that they work better than Conventional Medicine. Though, by education, I'm a Social Scientist, and politically a Classical Liberal, mistakenly called Conservative, I find that what ails one, can be found by Alternative Means;

Funny, but in the '06 Mets-Red Sox Series, Orsillo and Darling worked a couple of Innings together on NESN. Both worked The League Division Series on TBS in '07. On SNY, Remy worked with Gary Cohen, and Keith Hernandez. RemDawg even brought Wally The Green Monster, in his deck chair, over to the SNY Booth. Gary Cohen, in '87, worked the Radio Booth of the Pawtucket Red Sox for 2 Years. RemDawg was funnier than Keith Hernandez;

Pope Benedict XVI was recently in this Country. He celebrated Mass in Yankee Stadium. The Boorish Hank Steinbrenner, known to put his foot in his mouth, gave the Papal Team a warning about driving on the grass in Yankee Stadium. Like The Pope was going to do Wheelies On The Grass, Hank? A-Rod does more damage playing 3rd Base;

On my 2 Trips to Fenway Park this season-both were victories and what a party place. I never get that feeling in Shea Stadium. Amazing, how a Rent A Reliever, like Eric Gagne', even when elsewhere, could generate so much deep-seated fury from a fan base;

Ciao! Later!

Youk N Manny

Youkilis has a tendency to toss a bat into the dugout, in fury after a strikeout:

But, Manny objected and Youk got warned in the past about it(Must be too much Starbucks' Espresso or any coffee), so Youk got a little crazy about it;

Youk? A tossed bat can be construed as a weapon. Someone can get hurt;

Later, Folks!

When You Lose To Dreck, It's No Fun

In Memorium From 40 Years Ago Tomorrow

Robert Francis Kennedy Was Assassinated, like his brother, JFK:

Only it was in the Kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel, after the California Primary;

He was shot by one Sirhan Sirhan;

I was home, getting set for school(7th Grade);

It was as Yogi would say "Deja Vu All over Again";

And the JFK Assassination was still fresh;

And there was a # of days of Mourning, like in 1963;

And there were only 3 Broadcast Commercial Networks and no cable;

Was reminded by Mike Barnicle on Imus, this morning;

Time has flown-R.I.P., RFK;

November 22nd will be 45 Years since JFK's Assassination in Dallas.

5-3 Mets In The Day Line In Frisco

John Maine was the Winner and Matt Cain The Loser and Jose Reyes hit a 2 Run Homer in the 4th;

Se what a Boot in The Labanza Threat Did? Reyes is Productive again;

Billy Wagner got his 13th Save, with an ERA of 0.36;

In A Change Of Scenery The Sawx Won Again

The Place was "The Hairy Monk" at 337 3rd Avenue by East 25th Street:

Yes, Manhattan Island is NOT just for Yankees Fans anymore;

After "Professor Thom's", "The Hairy Monk" is a real, friendly Red Sox Location;

My friend and I met the Man behind all the Red Sox Memorabilia, known as Ed, who can remember two guys on the Red Sox Radio and TV Networks in the '50s, known to us as Curt Gowdy Sr and Bob Murphy(The Same Murph of 42 Seasons in the NY Mets Radio Booth as well as Television). Ed's Father played on Washington Senators in the 30s and 40s;

5-1 Red Sox over The "Original" Tampa Bay Rays, a Pizza Team, who tends to win, mostly indoors. J.D, Drew continues his hot hitting hand and had a Ground Rule Double to RF. Coco Crisp was hitting well as well. Josh Beckett got the win. In relief were Hideki Okajima and Craig Hansen, and both did well to wrap up the game;

Big Papi is missed, but The Sox have a LOT of depth. The game was seen on NESN. Red Sox moved back into 1st place over the Famous Rays(As Chris Wertz would call them);

The Detroit Red Wings won their 11 Stanley Cup in the NHL, defeating the Pittsburgh Penguins, last night in The Igloo, 3-2. IMHO, the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs are the best of all the Playoff Systems, as those Games are tense;

Thank You to that Young Lassie from Beverly, MA, for giving me that sweet kiss. It made my night. I think she and I discussed what should Curt Schilling do about his shoulder, one fair night;

Brian of The Red Sox Meetup Group, had a nice contingent there, last night;

In Every Story With A Hero-There Has To Be An Antagonist Or Villain

Pedro Martinez was the Hero or Protagonist, with a Victory, with 2 hits and a Run Batted In:

This almost was not to be, as Scott Schoenweiss, in relief of Martinez, gave up 3 Runs, before Billy Wagner came to the rescue, in the 9-6 Mets Win over the SF Giants on the Left Coast;

To be fair, Scott S had been doing Yeoman's Work, setting up Billy Wagner to close, a good thing. Unfortunately, Scott S almost became the antagonist or villain, something Braden(Hide My Injury) Looper, was quite-adept at;

Oh, well, all's well that ends, Wells(LOL);

Pedro Is Back-Sox Crack the Original Rays 7-4 In The Fens

Mets crushing the SF Giants 9-6. Sr Martinez won his 210th Game and had 2 hits, a run scored and a Run Knocked in:

Barry Zito didn't last too long, giving up 5 Earned Runs. Barry? Give back the money;

Manny Delcarmen? You scare me, almost as much as Aaron Heilman. Caught from 7th Inning onward. Thank goodness Papelbon was sharp;

Later Folks!

Papi's Wrist Injury

David Ortiz is on the 15 Day DL, due to a wrist injury. Figure he'll be out a month, which includes rehabbing the wrist:

Manny Being Manny will get more DH Time;

Okajima is starting to pitch like Eric Gagne' did last year. We all know what a disaster that was;

6-3 Red Sox Loss to The Orioles;

Tampa Bay @ The Fens, Tonight and Tomorrow Night at 7:05PM and Thursday at 6:05PM;

Wakey's Efforts were for Naught last night, despite another Manny Homer;

Is in need of an Upper Level Shea Stadium Ankle Hang as the Mets are losing 10 2 to the SF Giants. The game is a Suckathon. That is the final score, BTW.

Labels:

Just How Old Is Okajima?

He, known as Darkman, pitched as an old man, as the Red Sox lost 6-3. In American-European Years, how old is he?

The All Day NY Yankees-HATER Triple Play

It began with the Yankees losing in Minny, 5-1:

The Sox won 9-4 with Manny homering #501, along with Mike Lowell, in a Quasi "Home" Game in Baltimore. DFYankees don't get those crowds in Baltimore;

The Mets won 6-1 on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball. It was Dodgers Mgr St Joseph of Snorre's Night on ESPN. Torre, in 1977, lost his managerial debut in Shea Stadium & his Dodgers lost 3/4 to the Mets there, in the last trip of the Dodgers to Shea Stadium(The Dump);

It was a DUMP on the night of Seaver Trade I. Shea's still a DUMP. The Ebbets Field Tribute Park opens next year;

Torre loses both ends of his history in Shea Stadium, in the beginning and at the end;

A Reward To Those Mets Fans Who Went To Shea Instead Of Watching On FOX



You avoided having to listen to THESE TWO Magpies:

Bwahahahahaha!

Mets Fans & Red Sox Exiles? Let Dodgers Mgr Joe Torre Really Hear It But Good

LA Dodgers @ NY Mets @ 8pm on ESPN. Mets Fans & Red Sox Exiles @ Shea Stadium can really drive Joe Torre crazy. Just chant "Green Tea Sucks". I remember his Bigelow ads. Add SoCal to that & it'll be a fun night.
