cryptique Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Fantastic news out of the Bronx: NYY sign Sidney Ponson. http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/8259628...nks-sign-PonsonI'm guessing you're ... not a Yankees fan? Link to post Share on other sites
MattZ Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I'm going to guess unless they made a trade to actually improve the team on the field (and not in their hearts or minds, or whatever firing Willie does), they'll continue to be not very good. Let's take a step back in the midst of the chaos to acknowledge that the Mets have won 5 of their last 7 series. In other words, I can talk about how my team is "not very good." You can't.

bjorn_skurj Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 The Mets are playing definitely better of late. I think it is AWESOME that Jerry Manuel threatened to stab Reyes. That's the spirit! Link to post Share on other sites
mfwahl Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 The Mets are playing definitely better of late. I think it is AWESOME that Jerry Manuel threatened to stab Reyes. That's the spirit!"I told him next time he does that I'm going to get my blade out and cut him. I'm a gangster. You go gangster on me, I'm going to have to get you. You do that again, I'm going to cut you right on the field," quipped Manuel.Wow. Last time I got promoted, I waited at least 2 weeks before I threatened anyone with my gangster skillz.

Guest Jules Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 So, Dave Bush takes a no-hitter into the 8th against Toronto. Loses the no-no, but is still winnning 8-1 after the 8th. He gets pulled for the 9th and the bullpen almost loses the game (I think they just finally finished it, 8-7). That would really piss me off as a pitcher. Link to post Share on other sites
CommerceComet Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I couldn't decide whether to post this here or "Someone Else's Song," but I couldn't find it already posted. Scott McCaughey and others have done a CD of baseball songs? More info: http://www.yeproc.com/artist_info.php?artistId=12539I didn't see anyone take interest in this, but nonetheless I'll note that The Baseball Project is playing Letterman on Friday night. Could be really good or really bad. Link to post Share on other sites

Gobias Industries Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Schilling's done for the year. Depending on your allegiances this is either a good (to very good) thing or a bad thing. I suppose he's getting old though so it's not that big of a deal...the worst part is that this guy will blog his brains out everyday. Like he doesn't already do it already, however...

Gobias Industries Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I can't imagine any way that could possibly impact your life. If you don't want to read it, then don't. No, but it infiltrates sports news and defiles it too much. Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 No, but it infiltrates sports news and defiles it too much.Schilling used to post in-depth personal analysis both on his blog, sosh, and other places detailing his outings. I think that's pretty cool. He can be a blowhard at times, but the guy's entitled to blog about whatever he wants to. Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I suppose he's getting old though so it's not that big of a deal...He was still effective as a pitcher when healthy and will be missed as an important cog in the rotation for the remainder of the year. It's a drag that he's probably pitched his last pitch, but he's going out as a WS champion. Link to post Share on other sites

mfwahl Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I got to see 2/3 Cubs/Rays games this week. Great games. That grand slam last night was amazing.

Lammycat Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 During last night's rain delay at Fenway they showed a video of Jon Papelbon and Manny Delcarmen mimicking Milli Vanilli's "Blame it on the Rain."
