Bulldog time tonight! "The Clotter" Yeah Baby Yeah!

Bulldog time tonight! "The Clotter" Yeah Baby Yeah!

Let's get ready to rumble....

So what's the deal with this Capuano guy? He was a bullpen pitcher in Boston, they cut him, Rockies signed him on a MiL deal and the Yanks acquired him for cash considerations. Looks like he's made it through six in all of his starts for the Yankees, but do we have any reason to really worry about him? Seems like a guy we should be able to get to early. We've apparently hit him decently in his relief appearances with Boston. In his last month or so with the Sox, it looks like he was routinely bringing his gas can to the mound.

I hate to say this, but I'm glad Davis is not in the line up tonight.

Americans

Attending my 3rd game of the season, and it feels like 2/3 of the early crowd is wearing pinstripes. I want our boys to throw the Yankees down a flight of stairs this week just so these bandwagon bozos stop filling our house on nights like this.

Weather looks bad. I'm expecting a delay at some point during the game.

Good to hear from our pal Chris Hoiles. I will never forget the Ultimate Grand Slam.
