And it was Yankee Stadium, not Fenway…

Catch the damn baaaallll

That was 2004. And, it was Lofton, not Bernie.

Anyone remember a game in Boston where Rivera gave up the game on a flyball single that he thought would be caught? I believe Bernie was playing CF at the time.

Did ya’ll see this in the paper this AM?

~~~Even the Angels’ Torii Hunter was stunned by the ending, saying half the players didn’t realize the game was over. He said of Cano’s failure to get to the ball: “That’s their team, man. That’s their problem. We were wondering that, too. I’m glad that’s not my team. If it was, we’d probably be in here arguing right now.” ~~~

Anyway, back to the Yanks game…what ya’ll think about A-Rod trying to steal third with Nady up?

He was probably over thinking as usual and trying to make something happen.

Yeah, she wouldn’t be the first to have a braincramp, nor will she be the last.

Don’t know why Rodriguez tried to steal 3b (trying to make something happen?), maybe he had a braincramp too?

Just a few minutes after a conference on the mound where the coach told the team what to do?

Yes, there was only one out at the time – hence the bizarre nature of the fielder’s choice.

I’d chalk that up to inexperience.

The groundball by Figgins was pretty weak. I think Singleton was saying that Betetmit should have went after it but he went to cover the bag instead.

Shouldn’t Mo have started that inning though?

Marte = this year’s Eric Gagne
