Boxes 3/4/09

Yanks lost, Mets lost.

Atlanta 3, Yanks 2

Kennedy gave up 2 runs in the first inning.  Brackman and Melancon each had a scoreless against the late-inning squad.  Nady and Damon hit triples.

Nats 6, Mets 4

Pelfrey and Hernandez both gave up 3 runs.  Tatis and Castro went yard.  Nick Johnson had a dong…you remember Nickie.  Anybody notice that Washington has an underrated lineup?  Dukes, Milledge, Zimmerman, Dunn, Willingham, Guzman, and Belliard are pretty solid.  Just a thought.

  1. As The Pinstriped World Turns.

  2. Right? Drama.

  3. Levi, I had MLBN on this morning when the initial reports and they had nothing.The girl called me and said she saw it on espn.

  4. Lets get the season underway before anything else happens. Im too involved for anymore breakdowns before opening day.

  5. ARod should finish every sentence with, “And now, a word from our sponsors”. Every interview he should say, “To be continued”.

  6. Mets vs. Dodgers in NLCS!

  7. Levi, MLBN hasn’t reported it all day. Before the Derby they had a special report, and it was Manram’s press conference.

    I’d like to think that they were just confirming the sources, but I can’t help but wonder if they didn’t want to have to credit ESPN.

  8. They shoud put Hannibal Lecter type muzzles on him and his entire family.

  9. Love ya suit!

  10. MLB Net has got to be on this story. These things drive viewership. I can see your point Lou, but ESPN is still their partner in more ways than one, so they give credit but we’d still be watching MLB. Josh Hamilton is on again. Click

  11. Ha! I haven’t worn a suit since my grandfather’s funeral 12 years ago. But, right back at ya, Lib.

  12. Like you said J- You were on MLB. Even if they don’t report they’ve got to be all over it.

  13. No no I meant what lecter said to the senator when they are in the hangar in “Silence…” jeez didn’t mean to dredge anything up there…sorry to hear…

  14. everyone was having a good time until liberty fucked it all up. im outta here. ( ok, I am just leaving for a bit)

  15. MLB.com is saying that the brother told MLB’s Spanish website the news, not ESPN Deportes. So there might be conflicting sources, but more than that, they might have a mandate to report only the official club statements.

  16. Oh, no worries. You didn’t drudge up anything. I thought you were doing an Entourage reference. All good fun.

  17. So what is it? Cyst, Labrum, surgery?

  18. Nice point Lib. Control the message, control the story, control the content. At least that is their goal. GOOD LUCK!

  19. The cyst was caused by the torn labrum. They drained it and for the moment are not opting for surgery and are going to try to rehab it.

  20. Yeah Lev, no more Selig fluff pieces on ESPN. The meat gets a whole lot redder from here on out, can’t say I’ll mind it.

    Mac…phew

    K…you got me.

  21. Here’s why they are avoiding surgery. Cashman said 4 months if they go in.

  22. Good news for now! I mean, I guess it could be worse.

  23. Yeah, he could have tested positive for steroids. Oh, wait…Damn!

  24. That must be it lib.Levi, I hear ya, but it just seems strange that not even a mention.

    What a stressful day. Perhaps te Charlie Brown reunion will help me kick off Happy Hour. Okay, and maybe a fatty and a cold one.

  25. If A Rod knew something wasn’t right last season, he should have had it checked. If Girardi knew then that he experienced this last year then the Yankees should have had it checked out. It’s either more stupidity from him or plain incompetence from them. $300 million for cryin out loud. He had 6 months from the end of ’08 to beginning of ’09. This is unbelievable.

  26. hahaha mac.

    He might not even miss time. This might be an excuse to get out of going to DR. I wish I thought of “cyst draining” for my brother-in-law’s wedding.

  27. So this is what happens when they run with stories from ESPN Deportes. Next we will get news from ESPN the OCHO.

  28. “Baby, I can’t be the best man. I know, the 3-pc suits and beachside arrangements for an outdoor wedding in 1000-degree tropical heat were made. Yes, I know we got extra rooms for the cousins in that Italo-trash timeshare faux-villa. But I can’t make it. I GOTTA GET THIS CYST DRAINED”

  29. Lou, I agree with you. If MLB thinks that if they wait that the Yanks could control the message, as Lib was implying, than they are crazy. Their goal should be to be the source for all things MLB. The story has got to be reported there when the story is breaking

  30. Lib-hahahaha

    “I’ve got to get my cyst drained” is the new “the dog I ate my homework”.

  31. Lev, at the end of the day, nothing to report! The life cycle of the story just happened to be born around 11am, when we are all online, then die by 4:30pm, when guess what, we’re getting ready to yabba dabba doo.

  32. lev, that’s the ticket. “Can’t take out the garbage, hon, the ol’ cyst needs-a-drainin’.”

  33. Damon showing leadership talking up Ransom, which is nice but a little like Mets saying we had Tom Seaver but now we have Pat Zachary.

    He lost me on the “this team finds a way” statement though.

  34. A Rod and his camp should be in the CIA; masters of disinformation.

  35. That was Damon’s return salvo for ARod’s “I wish Reyes was OUR leadoff man [and that this old fker Damon would retire already]” quip.

  36. lib, I’m already yabba dabba dooing.

    Cardinals just signed Dennys Reyes.

  37. Congrats!!!!

  38. Maybe the cyst blowup was a distraction from the Jose Reyes comments. HAHA

  39. Is it Ignorance or Arrogance?

  40. Maybe his cousin will lance it with a palm frawn.

    St.Louis 4 Dominicana 1.

  41. John Heyman (aka Scott Boras’ Kuato) is saying that Alex will likely need the surgery. Cash is saying rehab, Boras (thru Heyman) is saying surgery. Maybe Alex doesn’t want to play thru pain and also gets to avoid being around when Roberts book drops. Let’s see who wins.

  42. This reminds me of the Pujols elbow surgery last year that he put off until he hit .357

    BTW- Do you think Jeter does any more “shows of support” for A Rod at the certain future press conference after his next bumble.

  43. yeah lev hahahaaaa “oo look at me, I’m ARod and my ass hurts!”

  44. Jeter is about 5 minutes away from storming into the office and demanding “Get rid of this clown!” I know it’s bundled up in there somewhere.

  45. I heard “Mike and Mike” say “What was Alex supposed to say when asked about Reyes?”

    In response to questions about David Wright, don’t you think Jeter would have said, “He’s a good player but we’re pretty happy with the guy we’ve got.”

  46. It is going to be scrawled on his skin from the inside out, Mets. Just like in The Exorcist.

  47. Next press conference Jeter says, “I’m going out for Tic-Tacs.”

  48. Scott Boras’ Kuato hhahahaaa

  49. I could see it now.

    “The power of Tic Tacs compell you! May the Loosey Goosey Gods compell you! The power of Bole compells you!”
