[Jersey Yankee]

It's about to start in 8 minutes, folks!!! http://www.sportsline.com/mlb/gamece...0040927_BOS@TB

[Jersey Yankee]

[FormerlyKnownAsMHHL]

And K's Bellhorn

[WebsterMulligan]

Good. Hope he keeps on steamrolling. An extra 1/2 game is a good thing.

[YanksFan24]

Let me reiterate...why did you do this trade Mets?? Why????

[DaBomber25]

Off days suck. Rays/Sox is what I'm watching? Bleh.

Go D-Rays. I hope they rock that pompous A-hole Arroyo.

[Jersey Yankee]

Cruz walked.

Good thing when the #2 hitter walks.

[DaBomber25]

That play was Nomaresque.

[Jersey Yankee]

Huff reached on fielder´s choice to shortstop, Cruz out at second, Huff to second on shortstop Cabrera´s throwing error.

Was this a 6-6-3 or 6-6-1 play where Cabrera threw the ball away to 1B?

What'd it look like?

Cabrera fielded the ball up the middle, stepped on 2nd, threw to first and the throw was about 2 feet over McCarty's head who I believe is well over 6' tall.

[av8r]

This Kazmir kid is really really good. Very lively fastball.

[DaBomber25]

Millar strikes out swinging at a pitch around his forehead.

[YanksFan24]

Wow Kazmir is so sick! Pedro was right when he said that Kazmir could be the best pitcher in baseball one day. He's so good!

[RhodeyYankee2638]

Wow, this kid has everything he needs to be a great pitchers. Velocity, mechanics, control, knowledge, kick ass name

Consistantly hitting 96MPH.

[DaBomber25]

Thanks Mets for putting him in our division.

[av8r]

I can't understand how the Mets let him go for Zambrano

[DaBomber25]

And "The Heckler" has chosen Cabrera as his target tonite. Pops up to catcher.

[Jersey Yankee]

Varitek struck out swinging.

Glad to see Tek back in "0 fer" land. Now why didn't CJ do this on Saturday? Oh wait, he's a lefty and Tek hits lefties better.

Nevermind. A few others might know what I mean.

[av8r]

Hey, does that heckler heckle the Yankees too? Who are his usual targets? He seems to like second basemen for us.

Stuff happens. Like when Francona fielded his best glove guys at YS when Lowe pitched, but he got bounced around a bit.

I just wanna win and see Bahstunned lose!!!

I know i'm just saying i thought they discouraged name calling like that.

At least he's not pitching for Boston.

I just wish we would've traded him f/someone, but who? We could've used him.

I apologize. You're right.

It used to be Mondesi if I remember correctly...

If it's not blatant or harsh, I think it'll slip under the radar.

[av8r]

He got lit up by the Jays last time out though

They're the Mets...

Rauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuul deserved to be heckled by Yankee fans. Wotta crappy attitude on that guy.

no no i'm not asking for an apology or anything i was just unsure if that was the rule or not. Thanks for helping me out.

Rays score. 1-0.

Nah, he doesn't seem like a bad kid; it'd be kind of cruel to put him on the Yankees staff with the Melosaur. A good pitching coach could transform him into Cy Young...maybe if New York had another coach, or maybe Billy Connors.

[Jersey Yankee]

Lugo doubled to deep left, Cummings scored, Lugo to third advancing on throw.

Scored a man from 1B. Nice!!!

yeah...don't forget that he's a 20 year old rookie. He's not going to be as dominant as he's been tonight thus far consistently without some experience and some solid pitching assistance.

[yanksrule69]

Jersey Yankee, I saw someone at the stadium with that jersey (your avatar) on last weekend.

Inning over. 1-0 Rays.

All depends. Is Billy mostly a fixer-upper, or does he elbow Joe that a pitcher needs to be taken out? If Mel were somewhat more responsive when a pitcher's clearly spent, I wouldn't mind Billy remaining in the fixer upper role. However, replaying one w/the other would mean that Billy would then be involved in the everyday pitching coach chores, rather than one pitcher at a time, which is what I presume he's doing now.

It was some Filipino dude, I think, somewhat pudgy, about 5'9" or 5'10" at most. PM me and I'll dig up that pic. I'd cropped it to look different, but he'd walked around in it and I asked him to pose. I cropped it and it's my av.

No, I know he's young. I'm very impressed. I was just surprised that with the quality stuff he has, he got lit up recently. Also, he's done this to the Red Sox once and it looks like it is going to be hard to score runs tonight. He blew a fastball by Ramirez, and you hardly ever see that.

It was actually a chick and it was blue yankee jersey with that white writing on the back. I had never seen it before your av and then that girl.

Greek God of Walks does just that, walks.

[Jersey Yankee]

Damon flied out to third.

Keep shuttin' 'em out, Kaz!!!

I guess those things must be popular. Wouldn't mind having one of 'em myself.

[Jersey Yankee]

Crawford singled to center.

Is it souvenir time in Tropicana?

[KP88]

Sox typically struggle with pitchers they haven't seen much at all, but damn, this kid is something. What the hell were the Mets thinking??

This TB team could be something special in a couple years
