    It's hard to really ask for much more out of the catcher position.

    Gardner is 24 for his last 129 which is a .186 average. That's very tough to deal with at the top of the lineup.

    a good win today, things seem to be falling into place nicely... get tex back and all should be "good" enough to go the distance.

    Lmao.....I don't want them to get no-hit but sometimes you just have to shake your head. You just wait until I get my Joey Bats doll, I am going to send you guys a picture with all of the pins sticking out of him.

    I sure wish Toronto would begin to "bust".
    And it would help if Baltimore does some "busting" for the next three days.

    I am trying to learn. I am told that I have to stick the pins in him when he is at bat. Now as far as your co-workers I will need a picture and try to get some company to create a doll and send it to me......Lmao.

    Toronto - 3 more HRs today = 5 runs.
    Memo to Yankees - keep hitting The Big Fly ......especially at Yankee Stadium.

    The franchise didn't become known as the Bronx Bombers eeckng out 2-1 games with suicide squeezes.

    We'll worry about "scratching" across 2 or 3 runs - - - when our pitcher throws a gem.
    No doubt the Yanks will get a chance or two to manufacture a run here or there in pressurized games.
    In the meantime....Toronto (and Houston) aren't apologizing for making the HR a BIG part of their game!

    Who gives a sh!t!
    No time for your know it all crap.


    Games are much too important for your argumentative attitude.
    Tired of it.....and don't need it.
    I don't post with your permission or blessing in mind.

    Who knows?
    I don't see anything wrong with giving DiDi (at this point) some prime time near the top of the lineup considering Gardy and Ells haven't exactly been tearing it up lately.
    He has improved his plate discipline considerably- his on OBP has been around .360 since July.....

    Dropping Gardy OR Ellsbury down FOR A COUPLE OF GAMES just to let it breath for a couple of days and give a different look.

    I'd like to see Headley moved back into the two spot if Gardner can't get his act together.
