We have to win tonight, tomorrow could be ugly w/ Mussina, we need Wang to go a strong 7+. Congradulations to Arod, even if he wasn't hurt he would have missed this series anyway. Go Yanks! Win this series!

Greg Cohen said...

Yes I agree, it's always good to win the first game of a series, even more so when Mussina is the game two starter.

One of these days Melky is going to have to learn to hit the cutoff man.

Greg Cohen said...

Yea, tell me about it.

That's gotta be the 5th or 6th baserunner this year who has gotten an extra base cause he's tried to throw a runner out.

So far Cano killed me this evening ... and now Wang is trying to throw some dirt on me!

Greg Cohen said...

I know, Cano is lost at the plate right now. I can't believe he didn't crush the 3-1 pitch.

At least Wang got out of it.

Greg Cohen said...

An opposite field HR for Giambi, wow.
Where has that been?

Anonymous said...

Maybe he got pissed at all the talk about releasing him?

Anonymous said...

This is why Wang will never be a real ace. He cannot put hitters away.

Anonymous said...

oh relax he got out of it

Did anyone just hear Paul O'Neill say "I'm to old for that shit" ?

hahahah so Coney says Kennedy was "jerked off" and not Pauly says "shit." I love these guys.

Greg Cohen said...

Hahahaha yea, I had to rewind my DVR to make sure he said it, and sure enough he did.
