Like George Costanza, the Philadelphia Phillies did the opposite last night. Instead of having tuna on toast, with coleslaw, and a cup of coffee and trying to wait out AJ Burnett, the Phillies had chicken salad, on rye, untoasted, and a cup of tea and jumped all over Burnett.

Hairston and Molina

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 22:12:27 +0000

I thought with the Yankees carrying two catchers, Posada would start every game of the World Series. Girardi, however is sticking with Jose Molina behind the plate , and he’s also using Jerry Hairston instead of Nick Swisher. Girardi said that Hairston’s record of success against ...

[ Photo ] In some ways it's a little unfair to single one person out after and impotent offensive output like last night, but this has been a long time coming for Nick Swisher. It's not that Swish is having bad luck at the plate, hitting balls hard but having them find defenders. He's ...

Sun, 1 Nov 2009 12:47:02 +0000

You may have noticed Nick Swisher and Melky Cabrera taunting the Phillies fans in the outfield during Game 3, faking them out at the end of some innings as though they were going to throw the ball into the crowd, only to pull it back and run off the field. It’s hard to blame them for ...

The Wrong Panic Move

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 20:28:16 +0000

Well the lineup is in and Molina is catching AJ but we also have a change in right. Swisher is on the bench and...HARISTON is in? I looked it up and the reason has to be that Hairston has hit .333/.407/.500 against Pedro in his career. Of course that is off of a whopping 24 AB's. ...
