Yanks win.  Mets win.
Burnett didn’t have all his control, but he held on for three innings of one-run ball.  That’s a professional.  Bruney has looked awful a couple of appearances in a row now.  Mo, still working out the spring kinks, shut down the sixth inning.  Edwar looked loose.  He’s another dark horse out of the bullpen.  Yanks had 14 hits.
Miguel Tejada needs drugs, now.  Mike Pelfrey doesn’t – six innings, one walk, one run.  The Astros lineup was missing Lee and Pence, so they were at 85%.  Trying to say Pelfrey wasn’t pitching against a candyass lineup.  Hope springs eternal.  Mets gave up only five hits.
March Madness = killing my hits!!!  I’m going over to Uncle Sal’s.  I need a drink.

Yanks win.  Mets lose.
I know it’s only spring.  Wang-Coke-Tomko-Veras-Albaladejo combined to five-hit the Astros.  Wang 10 GOs versus 3 AOs.  Austin Jackson (not cut yet, you should note) scored two runs and stole a base.  Drink to good health!!!  Tonight, it’s A.J. versus the Blue Jays.
Livan Hernandez pitched well, only to have Freddie Garcia pitch lousy and blow the game.  Mets left 23 on base.  Los Dos Carlos should return today, which can only mean good things for the club, and David Wright should be back in a couple of days – nail or no nail.  Watching the clock, it would be a very good time to have the full squad finally together and be all done with this WBC nonsense.  Today, it’s Pelfrey.

Yanks win.  Mets lose.
BBT scout extraordinaire Jrz (The Scoop) came back from the game last night with a lot of energy.  CC Sabathia having a great night will do that.  Hideki Matsui going yard and pumping out RBIs will do that.  Yankee land has been choosing between arms or bats for a while now.  Let’s hope the two sides of the game stay in sync.  I know it’s spring, it’s the Pirates, it’s B squad action.  The benchmark is 100 wins.
Tough loss for the Mets, but they can finally expect Carlos Beltran and Carlos Delgado back in camp.  Murphy keeps banging out hits.  Church has 8 RBIs this spring.  Just a good game pitched by J-Air, one of my favorites in the NL East… (more…)

As I write this, Venezuela and Puerto Rico are locked into what must be the LOUDEST GAME EVER.  Christ.  I can’t even hear myself think with volume on “low”.  The score is 120dB-110dB, Venezuela in the 4th.  Puerto Rico’s breaking out the timbales.  They’re doing the wave.  My ears are bleeding.
Yanks win.  Mets didn’t play.
Joba had another big start.  Bruney – solid, along with the other pitchers.  Even my man Robertson was out there today, pitching the 9th.  20 hits with a B-squad lineup.  When it all goes right, it all goes right.  Just sayin’.
Robbie C. is A-OK.  Like Uncle Sal said, the dog ate his homework.

Yanks win.  Mets win.
Jorge Posada – he catches, he coaches, he leads off, he’s all over the place!  There’s a lineup nobody saw coming.  Damon in the 2-hole…again…and again…Pettitte with the niceness.  Phil Coke – gotta love Phil Coke.
Afternoon game today, Joba versus the Phils.
Bunch of guys got cut.  No surprises.  UPDATE:  another cut.  Again, no surprises.
A day after collapsing, the Mets come back to win.  Brilliant.  Maine woke up late.  Castillo – crisp.  Kielty – not crisp.
I have to admit, watching Netherlands firstbaseman Randall Simon make a blind faith bounce throw to force Dunn out at the plate in the 5th touched me.  The score was 7-0 USA, bases loaded, no outs, top of the order on deck.  Touched.  I… (more…)

Firstly, thanks a thousand times to all who tried to get the radio working last night to listen to the Gotham show at Mickey Mantle’s.  There were technical glitches on our end.  The waiters were throwing popcorn at us.  The waitresses gave us dirty looks.  We will be working out the kinks next week as well – which is why I’ve been hardly promoting anything.  In two weeks I pick up the show entirely and ease into a later time slot – a time when you guys will be at the computer anyway.
BTW Michael Kaye was down at Foley’s hosting something or other, where BD does their show, so apparently the word’s out on that place.  He was doing his thing from the back of the room while the… (more…)

Yanks lose.  Mets win.
Gardner stayed hot with another homerun and 2 RBIs.  Brett singehandedly was just about the entire Yankee offense yesterday.  He’s had almost as many homeruns this spring as he’s had his entire minor league career.  If he’s not in CF on Opening Day, something’s wrong with Girardi’s morning shake.
Yanks made the first cuts of spring, sending J.B. Cox, Kanekoa Texiera, Eric Hacker, Wilkins De La Rosa and George Kontos to the minor league complex.  Andrew Brackman was assigned to the low-A Charleston Riverdogs.  Hoping that quick promotions are in store for the BBT favorite.
For the Mets, Castillo led off and had a couple of RBIs.  Johan is all set to start.
In the WBC, Canada got… (more…)
