Astros change yellow line in outfield (AP)

post from MLB News Blog on 20 May 2008 09:00:23 PM. © MLB News Blog

The Houston Astros removed a yellow board on an outfield wall on Tuesday that contributed to a botched home run call the night before. Geovany Soto got an inside-the-park three-run homer in the fourth inning despite replays showing that it should have been an automatic home run. The ball bounced just to the right of [...]

I Don't Think A-Rod is Going to Make a Difference

I went up eat dinner after Mike Mussina recorded the second out of the first inning. He had a man on second. I come back, and the Orioles have scored seven runs, partially because of an error by Jeter extending...

Will Joe Girardi Please Get Angry

post from Sliding Into Home: A Yankees Blog on 20 May 2008 08:26:00 PM. © Sliding Into Home: A Yankees Blog

From Mark Feinsand:

The last time I remember hearing the Yankees use words like ?rock bottom? was June 10, 2005, following a particularly ugly 8-1 loss in St. Louis to the Cardinals.

That night, the Yankees made three errors, looked lackadaisical in the field and at the plate, and watched their record fall to 29-31 just as they believed they had put their 11-19 start behind them.

Joe Torre held a closed-door meeting after that game, ripping his team to shreds for what he felt was a lack of effort. It was the angriest I ever saw Torre after a game, and several players told me it was the maddest they had ever seen him.

Joe Girardi didn?t lash out at his players after tonight?s game, though maybe he should have. No, there was no indication that any of them were being lazy, but there was certainly some sloppy play ? Robinson Cano not covering second base on the play that wound up as Derek Jeter?s game-turning error, Johnny Damon dropping what should have been a routine fly ball ? and there were plenty of at-bats that looked like the Yankees just wanted to go home.

After Torre "ripped his team to shreds" the Yankees won 7 out of 8 and finished the season going 66-36. Sometimes the manager needs to flip out, or flip a table, or call someone out in front of the team. Tonight was one of those nights.

Here's a quote from Mike Mussina following tonight's loss (also from Feinsand's article): ?If this is the same place we were a year ago, it sure feels a lot worse than that.?

I wonder how much of that has to do with the absence of Joe Torre, the guy almost every member of the team credited with keeping last year's team together through the early struggles. And it wasn't because he was nice, and buddies with the players.

It's time for Girardi to step up and truly step in to the role of MANANGER OF THE NEW YORK YANKEES. This is your team, put your mark on it and stop pussyfooting around.

Every-Other-Day Eddie still going strong at age
37 (AP)

post from MLB News Blog on 20 May 2008 08:13:56 PM. © MLB News Blog

Eddie Guardado’s goatee is now speckled with gray, his left elbow not quite two years removed from ligament replacement surgery. That generously listed 6-foot frame looks even more stout than before. Guardado hasn’t lost his fearless demeanor on the mound, though. The gutsy approach that helped him twice become an All-Star closer for Minnesota despite [...]

All I asked for on my birthday was a win from the Reds. And a pony. And a trampoline. And a sit-n-spin. And one of those water guns that shoots water like 50 feet. And an anti-gravity device. And my very own smoke monster. And a city to be named after me. And a foam "We're #1" finger. That's all.
