Don’t be liking all that NYC glamour too much Hammy!
Milly I have no choice but to nickname you "The Laborer".
Every time I see you on the mound you're laboring through the inning.
You sure as hell don't labor when you hear Dunkin Donuts is closing in

well remember that according to Kruk
he will be a Yankee in 3 to 4 years anyway

Marmol
His inclusion on the roster is indicative of the ridiculousness of letting players vote to help pick the reserves.
With Marmol replacing Wood, what’s next? Zito replacing Lincecum?

well, while he still shouldnt have gone
i think it should be noted he had a 2.09 ERA a month ago when players were voting. hes blown up since.
still didnt deserve to go, but it wouldnt be as bad.

so that begs the question:
why the hell are they voting a month in advance? Guess that means we’re watching (well, I’m at work and listening, but whatever) the All Stars from the first 2 months of the season. yawn

I know he’s been awful the last month or so, but for the first 3 months of the season he was dominant.
I'm undefeated in fights. Have I been in any? No. Thats because people know my f'ing status. Don't mess with the elite. - Miles

most memorable player introduction
kenny rogers after the suspension. they paused before and after his name, lingering on him getting booed for like 3x as long as anyone else.
