Greg, how do you put the box score on one of your posts? I've tried and I still can't get it.

Greg Cohen said...

Copy and paste from MLB.com.

And if you're talking about the batter vs. pitcher matchups, I copy and paste from ESPN. Hope that helps.

Brian Danuff said...

Do you think they should tear down Yankee Stadium? I don't. It's a historical landmark.

Brian Danuff said...

Thanks.

Greg Cohen said...

Absolutely not. I have no idea why the City didn't give it Landmark status. They should at least preserve the outer wall like they told us they were when they first proposed the new stadium. It's a damn shame they're knocking the whole thing down.

Brian Danuff said...

Is anybody else there except you Greg?

Greg Cohen said...

Right now, probably not.

Most people have lost interest in the game threads since they've been out of it.

I'm actually going out tonight to grab some drinks with some friends. Hopefully the game will be on at the bar, but I will probably be stuck watching the freakin' Mets. At least I can root for the Cubbies.

i don't mind the lineup at all. give the young guys to play. the game's not at the bronx so they don't have to worry about fans paying high ticket prices to see the star players.

Brian Danuff said...

Man Pavano's lucky he got out of that jam.

Halladay should be traded to a team that can make the playoffs.
