It's Just Melky Being Manny, I Suppose [MLB]
Published 7/23/2008 by Rick Chandler at Deadspin
I'm just glad that George Steinbrenner didn't live to see this. Apparently there's a tradition at Yankee Stadium where a group of fans called the Bleacher Creatures chant out each player's name in the first inning. The player usually acknowledges this; but not during a play. Oh, Melky Cabrera. You crazy nut. Wizard Cat gives this play: 0 wands. In case no one's noticed, the Yankees are the hottest team in baseball, Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Twins giving them a 5-0 record since the All-Star break. Robinson Cano is hitting .522 over that span, has five straight multihit games and the ...

Melky Cabrera Will Salute Bleacher Creatures Roll Call, Even During Play to Centerfield
Published 7/23/2008 at FanIQ Blog
You remember Manny Ramirez' botched fly ball from over the weekend. Melky Cabrera might have topped him in the mindless fielding department, if only his name were something more relevant. At the beginning of every Yankees game, the "Bleacher Creatures" chant the name of each starting Yankee and in turn, the players will salute them. It's a nice, albeit odd, tradition. Now as you can imagine, the bleacher dwellers have often performed their roll call during an at-bat, so the involved player will wait until after the play to give the fans the proper greeting. ...

Melky Cabrera Can't Wave and Field at the Same Time
Published 7/23/2008 at FanHouse
Filed under: Yankees, AL East, MLB Video At Yankee Stadium -- maybe you've heard of it? -- the Bleacher Creatures have a tradition. (They probably have many traditions; this is merely one of them.) They chant each player's name in the first inning, and that player turns and waves, thanking the fans for their tireless support. Guh Yahankeeees! And so on. Last night, an inopportune liner was hit at Melky Cabrera, and he couldn't decided whether to field the ball or wave at the Creatures. As the above video shows, he chose ... poorly. (HT: Rob ...

Melky Cabrera and the Bleacher Creatures - Video
Published 7/24/2008 by Stephen Kersey at Knuckle Curve - Baseball News
Melky Cabrera of the New York Yankees has an embarrassing incident involving the Bleacher Creatures. The Bleacher Creatures, which are a rowdy bunch of Yankees fans located in the bleacher seats, do a role call each game. During this role call, players are to acknowledge the Bleacher Creatures. In this video, Melky Cabrera tried to acknowledge the Bleacher Creatures while making a play in the field. The result? Not a good one as you will see once you watch the video: ...

The Daily Yankeeland - 7/24

We're enjoying a day off in the schedule before three big games in Boston this weekend. Here's what's going on. Things have really begun to heat up in talks with Seattle that would sent pyrrhia #2 Kei Igawa (Pavano is of course #1) to the Mariners for Jarrod Washburn and contract throw in Jose Vidro. We're not big fans of Washburn, but he battles, gives you innings and has done well in the post-season. He would also give you another left-hander in addition to Andy Pettitte and be a viable option out of the pen should the Yankees make ...
