Wrong picture -- that was a Yankees pic, but it seems they keep the URL the same. 



Seems to me that Omir Santos is a Met . . .

Red Sox suck.   :banghead:

And so do the Angels.  But we at least have a reason we suck.

Andrus roped a triple tonight, Ralphie, even though they lost to the Tigers.  :cheersmate:  :(

I was actually dreading this game, because Santana was 1-3 with a 6.89 ERA lifetime, at Fenway.  But, guess that the line holds true--You don't mess with the Johan.  :-) :tongue:

I really want to see those games. :fuelfire:  My brother and mother are Yankee fans--my brother has been taunting me by email during the Mets' woes, and I made sure to point out that the Skanks were still in third place in their division.  He didn't say much after that.

It was a horrible series.  I am glad they pulled one out of their butts to avoid the sweep.   Papi has to go down in the order, or out on a rehab assignment.

I am still cringing from Paps' blown save....

Congrats for taking the series though!

Thanks.  Woulda been nice to see the Skanks take another from the Phillthies, though.  When Lidge blew that save yesterday, I got my hopes up.  :bawl:

Also, I've got Papi on my fantasy team.   :o

As for the Sox, I'll have another coffee waiting on my desk tomorrow.  I'm 3-0 in coffee bets over baseball this year (with a Sox and Phillies fan).

MLB vice president Bob Watson cited Youkilis for charging the mound, throwing his helmet at Porcello and inciting Tuesday night’s hostilities. Watson penalized Porcello for intentionally throwing pitches at Victor Martinez(notes) in the first inning and Youkilis in the second.

In addition, Detroit pitched Edwin Jackson(notes) was fined for what Watson said were aggressive actions.

They had been beaning each other since Cabrera was plunked in the 4th of Monday's game. Youkilis just happened to be the one that exploded.

Youk was thrown at in the Yankee series and the first game in Detroit.  This was the second time Detroit threw at him.  He had enough, so he charged.   The kittens infield stood there with their thumbs up their butt and left their pitcher unprotected. 

Fired up the Red Sox though, which given their pitiful performance of late was much needed.

Why Derek Holland isn't taking the mound at a Beer League softball game instead of elsewhere today is beyond me.

Not at all.  I knew the Red Sox weren't going anyway, but hesitated saying it because the Angels have been so proficient at choking in the postseason.

Big deal.   

You used to lose in the playoffs and now win.   

You used to beat the Yankess and now......... yeah, monkey is fixing to jump back on your back.     

Hillary Clinton left NY and took the curse with it.    Lord do I loathe her.
