Labor Day Truths:
- The Yankees can't beat anyone but the Red Sox.
- The Red Sox can beat everyone but the Yankees.
Watching your team drop three of four to a bunch of cellar dwellers and the team chasing them for the final playoff spot is no way to spend your Labor Day weekend, but alas, here I am. Roger Clemens pitched his age today, he was relieved by Mike Mussina, who will return to the rotation in Clemens' place. The rocket will get an MRI on his ailing elbow.
Mussina made his first regular-season relief appearance today, and I left the game thinking he wasn't that bad. This is the what it's come to for Mussina, he pitched 3.2 innings, gave up 7 hits, 2 earned runs and I thought it wasn't such a bad outing for him.
The Yankee lead in the Wild Card is down to one game. If they want Seattle to leave the Bronx in second place, they really need a win tomorrow. The Wanger is on the hill, he's the ace, he needs to stop this disgraceful run. If Wang doesn't get the job done, it's going to be up to Phil Hughes on Wednesday, and he isn't exactly fooling anyone these days.
This season of schizophrenic play has taken days, if not months, off my life, all I ask is for one good run to come, and come quickly.
Player of The Game: A-Rod, 2 for 4, 1 RBI, 1 stolen base.
I hear you about dropping a series... the Phils did the same thing after sweeping the Mutts, losing a series to Florida, of all teams.
No matter how hot your lineup has been , at this point in the season, it always comes down to pitching and who's healthy and who's not. And if all else fails, football starts next Sunday....
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!
too much baseball on this blog, Eurobasket 2007 just started !! Nowitzki, Parker, Gasol etc etc
tonight Italy-France (wow !), do you have games on tv there ??? it starts at 1 PM your time
Yeah Ricky, you're right....
We're all so wrapped up in baseball, we're forgetting about the Sixers... is there any news on how the summer league did and how the new guys looked?
Does Eurobasketball overlap the NBA season? Do any Sixers play over in Europe? Is former Sixer Pepe Sanchez still around?
Louis Williams rocked in the Summer leagues, let's just hope he carries it over into the regular season. The only other news has been Dalembert playing for the Canadian team.
guys there is a continetal competition for national teams going on, with some dozen NBA players, Nowitzki, Gasol, Kirilenko, Okur, Turkoglu, NBA last mvp Parker (just torched us), Bargnani, Belinelli, Diaw, Biedrins, Calderon, Garbajosa... need more ???!!!
no Pepe Sanchez, unfortunately :-)
Not a single Sixer playing in that, right Ricky? Disappointing.
exactly
but we always knew that our int'l scouting sucks big time, if we could never do better than Efthimios Rentzias...
