Bobby Murcer passed away on Saturday. A Yankee through and through, his loss will be felt for years to come. I didn't realize that Murcer played with both Mickey Mantle and Don Mattingly, the only man to do so.
On the field, the Bombers have gone 1-2 in over the past three games, dropping one to Roy Halladay, which seems to be the norm when facing him. The Moose fell victim to the paucity of the Yankee bats, again. Dropping the makeup at Pittsburgh, and earlier on Saturday, the Yankee bats backed Rasner in a big way, leading to a 9-4 win. The Rays in free fall mode, much later than expected. They've dropped six in a row and their lead over the Sox has shrunk to .5 games and the Yanks have a chance to head into the break within 5 games of the division lead.
My move is somewhat complete, there are still boxes to be unpacked and such, but I should be back at full strength tomorrow night. Expect a few words on the battle for center field, Darrell Rasner's spot in the rotation, and more in the coming days.
Team Record: 50-44
i heard that the yakees are interested in signing richie sexon when he clears waivers... what the hell are they thinking?? hes batted around the mendoza line for 3 years and strikes out as much as a pitcher if i am the gm of the yankees and i know matsui is lost for the year there is one clear cut move that has no risk and high reward.. BARRY BONDS Throw 3 mil or so at him and al of a sudden we have te best lineup in the game imagine this... damon jeter abreu arod bonds giambi posada cano and melky.. wow hes a left with power and walks a lot why arent we even thinking of this move??? sure hes an a hole but its all about winning isnt it?? get bonds and well see u in the world series
I'm in favor of bringing Barroids in. You can put that on the record.
