    BIG win....terrific.
    So important- he struggled for a while and has bounced back.
    You can see the confidence and you almost begin to expect him to have good ABs especially at Yankee Stadium with his RF power. Good stuff.

    Old Chuck Berry tune:

    Two three the count, nobody on,
    He hit a high fly into the stands,
    A rounding third and headed for home
    It was a brown eyed handsome man.

    Don't know if TA has brown eyes or considered handsome but you get the drift.

    Great win!

    Bummed by the Rick news. Hopefully he's shacking up with a dominatrix spinner that has him tied up when not in use.

    Thanks for trying to find something out. I'm worried about what we're going to find out but will hope for the best.

    And the Cubs visit Houston for 3 games...
    WC ramifications.

    I know we want to win the division and right now the Yanks are 4 games behind Boston and they'll be playing them more often (7 games) than any other team - but Toronto and Baltimore are in between Yanks/Boston.
    Obviously a problem.
    All of the A.L. East contenders will be playing each other and someone has to lose....and someone also has to win.
    I can't realistically see the Yanks winning this division unless they take at least 5/7 from Boston....and I'm not going to make any wagers on that.
    I'll just hope to see more pleasant surprises.

    Otherwise it's a scramble between 5-6 teams for a WC spot including Detroit and Houston who have softer schedules.....with KC and Seattle also possibilities.

    This is great entertainment- every series is like a playoff series because losing 2 or 3 games to a team puts you in a deeper hole with fewer games left.

    Not good vibes when someone with Ricks longevity and contributions just u and drifts. Cause for concern no doubt. Hope he is OK wherever he is.

    He was last here July 28th and hasn't been heard from since. There's limited information and his last known phone number is out of service.
