Easy First

post from Baseball Musings on 15 October 2008 09:41:00 PM. © Baseball Musings

Hamels walks Manny Ramirez, but otherwise retires the Dodgers easily. He doesn't strike out a batter however, and throws more balls than strikes. We'll see if that continues....

Red Sox Fan

Jason Bay looks like a lot of Sox fans last night. (AP Photo)The word painful often comes to mind. Numb could be close behind too I guess. Déjà Vu's also right there come to think of it. What I'm trying to get at here is this, being down isn't[...]

Pettitte Eyeing Return To Pinstripes For '09

post from The Bronx Stop: A Yankees Blog on 15 October 2008 09:02:00 PM. © The Bronx Stop: A Yankees Blog

Sources have told ESPN reporter Buster Olney that Andy Pettittes agent Randy Hendricks has recently called the Yankees to inform them that he intends to return to the Bronx for the 2009 campaign.

No contract has been worked out at this time, but look for an announcement coming soon.

Well, we still have Andy. Will the Moose be next?

More on Pettitte's Intetions to Pitch in '09

post from Sliding Into Home: A Yankees Blog on 15 October 2008 08:40:00 PM. © Sliding Into Home: A Yankees Blog

Earlier today I mentioned that Buster Olney said that Andy Pettitte wanted to pitch next year for the Yanks. Tonight, Olney had some more info regarding Pettitte's intentions:

As the New York Yankees began a round of scouting meetings this week to discuss the future of the team, they know that veteran left-hander Andy Pettitte intends to pitch in 2009, and his intention is to pitch for them.

Sources said on Wednesday that Pettitte's agent, Randy Hendricks, has informed the Yankees of this recently.

No contract for 2009 has been negotiated between the pitcher and the team, but he has made it clear that he wants to play for the Yankees and the Yankees have made it clear that they want Pettitte...

It appears that Pettitte will be pitching for the Yankees in '09.

USA vs. Trinidad & Tobago

post from Red Reporter: Front Page Posts on 15 October 2008 07:49:23 PM. © Red Reporter: Front Page Posts

Big game tonight. Against Cuba last week, the USA clinched its berth in next year's Hexagonal to determine who represents CONCACAF at the World Cup. Bob Bradley has taken the opportunity to trot out a lot of youngsters who may very well be the future of American soccer. They'll get a stern test tonight in Port of Spain from a far more seasoned T&T team that they dismantled 3-0 in Bridgeview, IL in September. Trinidad has called back more of its veteran players, spearheaded by Dwight Yorke. They are fighting hard for the second slot in the Hex and it will be all the Americans do to come away with a result.

Tim Howard only allowed one goal in group play (a fluke shot from Cuba), but he's been released back to Everton. Aston Villa benchwarmer Brad Guzan is likely to get the start between the pipes tonight for the US. He's certainly demonstrated that he can hold his own on the national stage, but this DC United fan still would have liked to see Troy Perkins get the nod, as he's been very much in form for his Norwegian club. The big story will be to see if Jozy Altidore and Freddy Adu get serious minutes, as well as the continued development of Jose Francisco Torres after his very promising debut. Look for Altidore to start as the target forward, with Adu on the right and Torres on the left. Also keep an eye on Charlie Davies, and Michael Orozco, who's looking to make people forget about the red card he picked up in the Olympics. Sasha Klejstan and DaMarcus Beasley have been displaying great form recently. And for the hometown crowd, Columbus Crew members Frankie Hejduk and Brian Carroll both were called up. Bradley will like Hejduk's veteran presence and work rate against an improved Trinidad side, but it will a surprise if Carroll gets minutes tonight.

Prediction: Trinidad & Tobago 1::1 USA

Oh, and the Phillies have a chance to clinch their first World Series appearance in 15 years tonight against the Dodgers as Cole Hamels goes against Chad Billingsley.
