Are they going to label him a Yankee or stick him on the trading post? Moose's fast ball is no longer. So what is the latest with Moose in the off season?

I considered blogging about it. I suppose I'll have to...but it gives me a bad feeling. I saw that thing about Rally Day. I considered blogging about it.

There are still two full weeks left in the season. This includes the Red Sox. Knock. on. wood.

How about this: Beckett is going to be unbelIEEEVably bad. He doesn't deserve anything LIKE the Cy Young. Beckett, you're a tool! With unfortunate facial hair! And Schilling! You're OLD, BUDDY. OLD AND SUCKY. You just can't hack it anymore, chubs! And Matsuzaka! That was the worst 100 mill we ever spent! Dice-K? More like Dice...poop! The Yankees have this one alllll wrapped up. These games don't even MATTER for them. The Yankees have an unassailable starting ro, an unstoppable lineup, and a freakin' baseball guru/sage/lama of a manager. The Red Sox have no hope! None! Do you hear me fickle baseball gods?! THE YANKEES ARE GOING TO WIN ALL THREE GAMES THIS WEEKEND, AND THERE'S NOTHING ANYONE CAN DO ABOUT IT. NOT EVEN YOU. I know, for real. How about this:

I must just be jinxing every member of the Red Sox rotation one by one. Sigh.

In their first 10 days of the month, not counting Dice-K’s meltdowns, Sox pitchers were allowing 2.13 earned runs per start." Look at the date range: it includes games between Sept 1 and Sept 10. The figures in this column don't refer to Wakefield's most recent meltdown because my column deadline is Tuesday morning. Thus, the column was written before the meltdown, which occurred Tuesday night (Sept 11). However, the non-Matsuzaka earned-runs-allowed-per-start average does include Wakefield's 6 earned runs in his first meltdown. Of course, if my deadline weren't so early, I could have included a line about Wake's most recent blowup in this column (which ran the morning of Wednesday, Sept 12). Instead, I had to settle for talking about it in this UmpBump post: http://umpbump.com/press/random-thoughts-spawned-by-tonights-sox-game/ Rich, I assume you are talking about this bit:

Wakefield gave up 13 Runs in his first two starts of 6.2 total IP this month. That's actually worse than Dice-K. The difference is, the Sox rallied in both of Wakefield's debacles, while Dice-K only got support in one. RE: Metro Column

I had no idea that Gary Glitter had come to such a bad end. Though that video of his concert really creeped me out. I will never be able to drunkenly shout "HEY! HEEEEYAAAY! HEEEEYAY! HEY YAY HEY HEY HEYAYAYAYAYAYAY!" ever again. :( Pete, I have no idea WTF it is. I just assumed all the Yankee media outlets were called YES nowadays. I guess the answer to that is NO.
