The Score: Bobby Murcer was a great guy for life
Most of us, if put in Bobby Murcer's place, would have curled up in the fetal position and waited for the inevitable. Not Bobby. He hitched up his pinstripes and vowed to make every minute he had left count.

 RIP Bobby Murcer
RIP Bobby Murcer
Bobby Murcer died today at the age of 62. This is a truly sad day for the Yankees and their fans. He was a great Yankee and an even better man. I grew up listening to Murcer call Yankees game on WPIX, and later on MSG and YES. I wish I had been able to see him play. RIP Bobby, you will be sorely missed, my thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Bobby Murcer

 Home Run Derby 2008: Josh Hamilton hits a record 28 Home Runs
Home Run Derby 2008: Josh Hamilton hits a record 28 Home Runs
Tonight I’m posting this video about the tattoo sportin’ Josh Hamilton from the Texas Rangers who pretty much stole the show. Even though he was the home run derby runner up, he broke the record for the most home runs in a single round by belting out 28 home runs. Bobby Abreu had the previous record of 24 that he hit in 2005.

 Holy Smokes, Eh?
Holy Smokes, Eh?
Josh Hamilton's awesomeness knows no bounds. The Texas Rangers center fielder's impressive, 28-bomb first-round performance in the Home Run Derby at Yankee Stadium Monday night shattered the previous record of 24 set by Bobby Abreu in 2005. He nailed a few more going into the final round against Minnesota Twins slugger Justin Morneau, who hit 8 in the first and 9 in the Semis.

Get Abreu Out of the Three-Hole
I'm listening to Max Kellerman right now and he's been talking about this, and he has a good point. Steve Lombardi of WasWatching.com wrote about it earlier this week as well. Why do the Yankees continue to bat someone with a who is hitting .275/.346/.439 third? You know, the spot where you're supposed to have your best hitter? In June and July he's hitting just .239 with 3 HR, and 23 RBI. ...
