Blalock

Count me as somebody who thinks he will be back next year. I’d rather have his bat at third base and young’s defense at short than Arias’s offense in the lineup. Other than that who will man third thats any good?

Michael Young vs. Sidney Ponson...

how many pitches before Face gets hit-by-a-pitch?

by oc on Jul 2, 2008 5:20 PM CDT   0 recs

well if

he hits young instead of

kinsler
hamilton
or bradley

then we can be thankful. especially because

1) bradley or hammy won’t get injured
2) it puts a runner on base for bradley or hammy
3) it doesn’t put kinsler on base for young to gidp

I hope we can read the Yankees

the Ezekiel 25:17 passage, preferably while Sir Sidney is pitching

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

the offense has been kind of dormant lately.. plus the ponson factor… i’m thinking at least 8 runs tonight

checking in from Yankees stadium

right behind home plate 20 rows back. Were the guys in navy uniforms with rangers hats on. Got some great pics already no autographs though.

Most interesting sight so far: CJ Wilson deep in conversation with mariano Rivera.

it just recently was bought by some new investors, big changes are coming to the V. I love it as is and try to make it up there at least once a week. The bar is always full on the weekends or if there is ever a half decent sports game going down.
