Leyland got another good look at J.G. they guy just ain't showed he got what it takes. I'd been happy if he'd got in there and throwed a couple good inings. but no, he walks in a run. I'm sick of walks. but with Grilli, they were just pounding his curve except once in a while when he got some bite onto it. He's got to have stuff he can throw for a strike that's got enough bite so as to keep the hitters from launching them baseballs into orbit. The shuttle can only bring down one load every so often ya know ( tee hee ) and now this morning I'm thinkin' again ( yeah yea I know I ain't supposed to do that just drink my beer and behave ) but what I'm think'n is we need the pitching coach from the Mudhens up here. why not we have to call everyone else already we needed a shut-out pitcher to win that last night

Norm Cash hitting .361. And still we ended up in second place. Before that I was in awe of the Yanks. After , hate set in.

As soon as the kids don't need me around anymore. Leave the office, don the orange jacket, and go right over to the game! Yeah, actually my dream second job is to usher part-time at the park.

Ridiculous Is it me, or did #7-9 hitters on every team absolutely kill us this entire homestand? Uribe, Scutaro, Navarro, etc. Kurt “I hit Tigers pitching like I’m Ichiro” Suzuki with another base knock. Ridiculous

Not so at Jacobs. It's hard to explain but there are some zigzag type areas, some seating areas with higher walls behind so if you were to walk in a circle there are times you can't see the field. (That is probably why the seating chart is so crazy; it's hard to show that in a chart) Anyway, I think our open concourse is much nicer.
