Curses!

Curses! Out-duelled again :-(

Moose went eight, but Yanks dropped, 4-2. What, you were expecting to win out? Hey, it's a marathon. When ya win 100 games, ya also lose 62. It happens. Mike pitched his brains out; today, it wasn't quite enough. Next up: Dangerous Dan Giese, today at one.

Curt Schilling is undergoing surgery. His season is over, maybe his career. I don't see him going into coaching; rather, broadcasting, if anything.

I mentioned a while ago that Yankees signed Sidney Ponson. In a move which I believe corresponds, Steven White has been removed from the 40-man roster. Armed with velocity, White seemed an heir apparent to Messrs. Joba, Phil, and Ian, yet his ERA this season at Scranton has hovered around 6.6. He's cleared waivers, and remains in the Yankee organization. This clears a spot for the Mets doubleheader, when we'll need a sixth starter. You guessed it: El Gordo looks to be on the hill for that, and unless he impresses, it'll be one and done for the big goof with baggage and attitude.
