The Yankee bats look to stay hot tonight while the Mets try to shore up their defense. Ramiro Pena is defensively solid, and he'll be in the lineup again tonight as Derek Jeter continues to battle the flu - just like me, hence no real recap last night. Pena also got in on the act offensively ...
How Does Your Gardner Throw?
fackyouk.blogspot.com 7/10/2009 — As Jay pointed out, by way of Ken Singleton, in Wednesday's recap , Brett Gardner is quietly putting together quite a season for himself. Gardner currently leads AL rookies in AVG, OBP, runs, SB, and BB. He's second in RBI and OPS and third in hits. It's an admittedly weak crop of rookie ...
Should Yanks Call Up Austin Jackson?
nybaseballdigest.com 6/25/2009 — Chuck Johnson of Dugout Central brought up this point.
Put Jackson in the everyday lineup and let him play. If he goes 0-4, yet wins the game with a great defensive play, he’s still performing at a level Cabrera and Gardner can’t. If he goes 3-4, pilfers a couple of sacks and scores a run ...

Me And My Big Mouth
fackyouk.blogspot.com 7/3/2009 — On May 22nd, the Yankees were riding a nine game winning streak. It was the Friday heading into the three day Memorial Day Weekend. I wrote the game preview that night , and chose "Once" from Pearl Jam. The Yanks lost to the Phils that night. I'm not the most superstitious person in the world, ...

Melky Wins It Again
passion4baseball.blogspot.com 5/16/2009 — Perhaps all a guy needs is a little competition. Melky Cabrera fell apart last year. He wasn't spectacular in 2006 and 2007, but he was at least useful. His OPS+ of 95 and 89 were less than league average but his defense was a little better than league average and he played with enthusiasm which ...

The Fan has fond memories of seeing a game there on his fortieth birthday. The Marlins will get a new ballpark, which apparently is much needed, but memories will ...
