holy cow, scooter’s gone

According to wikipedia, Neiman’s still painting.

//and how ugly was that ‘art’ they gave to Arod?//

Whatever happened to Leroy Neiman? I seem to remember him doing a lot of the Yankee commemorative art. I still have my poster from when Rizzuto went into the Hall. Granted, he’s 80+ years old now, so maybe he doesn’t paint much anymore.

and how ugly was that ‘art’ they gave to Arod? if that’s me, it’s going straight into storage.

It wasn’t ugly, it was fugly… But when it comes to art, there’s no accounting for taste

This is why sometimes statistical arguments are so infuriating. Based on a thread last week, Melky was at -4 in RCAA. That would mean that he’s hurting the team. Then I watch last night’s game, see him getting a couple of hits, making some plays in the field and wonder how stats can quantify what he’s meant to the team since the All-Star Break. How is he -4 when he’s playing great right now…

I accept the usefulness of stats, but they can’t be the end-all be-all all the time.

FWIW, he’s @ 1 now. That reflects his current hot streak (I had mentioned his numbers were trending upwards)

Statistical arguments aren’t infuriating, it all depends on how you interpret the stats.

WRT “what he means,” you could be the nicest guy in the world, but if you’re not doing your job, you’ll find yourself out of one; the Yanks recently got rid of two “clubhouse guys” in Mike Myers and Miguel Cairo.

i’m thinking Glenallen Hill.

there’s NO WAY DMint should ever see playing time on this team again (outside of an injury of course).

AP is a RHB which the team needs, and is about as good on D, and is hitting better.

last night was all about Melky, Joba and Betemit (and even Giambi who had a clutch hit). and how ugly was that ‘art’ they gave to Arod? if that’s me, it’s going straight into storage.

now if only the offense can jump out tonight bc Mo AND Joba are unavailable. who becomes the closer tonight? Vizcaino by default?

The answer is Raul Mondesi.
