Kyle Farnsworth woke up with a stiff neck the first morning the Yanks were in Toronto and was unavailable for the whole series against the Blue Jays, Torre said. Farnsworth said he hoped to be able to pitch tonight. He played catch the first two games of the series, but felt pain, so he did [...]

Hey, I Think It's Time To Disband The Marlins
There were about 400 fans on hand when the game started Wednesday afternoon and the announced attendance was 10,121. The Marlins have the smallest total attendance in the majors. That’s not very many people at all! You would think they would not kick anyone out given the circumstances, but the Washington Post reports differently: There [...]
Mussina Starts…Pitches 5 2/3 Scoreless Innings???
Moose didn’t really look like the Mussina of old tonight, but he did look a lot better than in his last starts and did good for the team today. Cano the Gold Glover (as opposed to Cano’s evil twin the Lead Glover) showed up tonight and that helped too. Moose had some really good movement [...]
Baseball Hodge Podge For Monday
Mike Lupica is pretty upset about this whole Rick Ankiel thing. Not that he shouldn’t be, but it’s a bit silly to expect someone to come out and say they’re wrong. Most people consult their agents and legal consul before making statements to the press (in short, most people aren’t Jason Giambi). In his little [...]
The Real Feel Good Story Of The Year (Is Not Ankiel)
Joba’s dad finally gets to see him pitch! On Friday, only about a year after another health crisis, Harlan and “a ton” of friends and family made the three-hour drive from their home in Lincoln, Neb., to see Joba and the Yankees play the Kansas City Royals. For the first time since Joba’s quick rise [...]
Baseball Hodge Podge For Friday
The Pirates make a move that shows they might actually be serious about becoming a decent team again. If you’re unsure about what a putz Dave Littlefield is, check out his exploits. I’m a little tired of hearing how wonderful Rick Ankiel is so I don’t mind much that there is finally some bad news [...]
A Hodge Podge of Baseball Related Items
The most important news out there is that Andy Pettitte has been named the AL Pitcher of the Month for August!. He has some tough starts in September but I know he can continue to pitch well. In case you were unsure, Orioles fans are still angry at pretty much everything. You probably would be [...]
The Yankees Revert Back To Their April Form
After attending Sunday’s game left me barely alive, but full of rage at Joe Torre’s once again not so good decision making, I decided to shun baseball yesterday. Which was good, because strange decisions that resulted in awful things were once again made. Roger Clemens is apparently hurt, and has been so since his start [...]
