It's Darrell Rasner, who continues to impress. 118 pitches last night, 75 for strikes. Gave up two through eight, but the Yanks only plated one. DR's 3-3 record belies the fact of his stellar pitching. One bad outing; with proper run support, he'd be at 5-1. Over the last three games [granted, his last game was not great], his mates have scored three runs. Losing 1-0 and 2-1 is no crime. Keep up the good work, Ras.
In other news, Tampa and Boston have clashed. Lots of me-too ism coming from that.... Tampa and the Yanks clashed earlier. Anyone else get the feeling that Tampa is just trying too hard? Remember, Yanks and Sox dates back to at least 1904, when the bad guys won the pennant on the last day, beating our 40-game winner. Instant rivalry, Tampa-Boston or Tampa-NY? Let's give it a few years and see.....
Now [imploring sweet Melanie for her opinion on this one] what is up with Manny and Youk tangling? Is it truly over, or will bad blood begin to destroy clubhouse chemistry?

We've had a long history of bench-clearing brawls with the Rays. This wasn't really unexpected, although Lester's 5-game suspension when he wasn't warned or tossed is a bit off.
As for Manny and Youk, everything's good. Just a lil too much testosterone in the clubhouse. It happens. Every team, actually, goes through this- just usually never in the dugout. I think the bottom line is that Youk has a short fuse and was out of the dugout like lightning, where Manny got there after the bullpen crew. Manny's a lover, not a fighter. They're set, though. They were chatting last night like nothing happened, so I wouldn't look for the chemistry to be upset. Besides, we've got Mayor Sean Casey for any diplomatic disputes. :)
They put up a hell of a stinker last night, though. I think they were just mentally and physically exhausted from the night before.
I'm aghast that folks can get suspended without being ejected: kinda tells ya the umpires are not on the same plane of understanding as the league offices...
Mayor Sean Casey? Can I get Krispy Kreme? ;-)
I think you are right about the exhaustion factor, cher`.
For Lester- if you're going to bean somebody, you're not tossing your slider- and both those pitches were sliders. :) League office needs to take its stick out of its ass.
Aye, ye have a good point, gal :-)
"Sunburned" Mellie?
Intriguing!
[need any Solarcaine?]
Yesterday was a beach day! Hooray water!!!!!!!! I sunburn just as fast with sunblock as without. Might as well use baby oil and see if it works better.
Sssssssss what's burning? ;-)
