Their experiment of having a bullpen pitcher start an interleague game failed miserably yesterday.

Their experiment of having a bullpen pitcher start an interleague game failed miserably yesterday.

I think almost all innovation is preceded with abject failure. I think this is one that will be followed as well. Cash never managed. He as a good mind. But he never managed.

I actually thought it was a decent idea. But it helps to have a good bullpen.

Cash said that he will not catch. Is there for his bat only. At 1B or DH.

Sat two rows behind the Yankees dugout last night, on the home plate side. As Ellsbury stepped in to leadoff, the few people in attendance were very quiet, and I yelled, "Where's Jeter?" It was stupid, but made me feel good. ARod hit a couple of shots. That guy can still hit.

Grant Balfour. He he.

Say goodbye to your consecutive scoreless earned runs streak, Chris.

The Orioles were the first to score an earned run off of you last month on Opening Day.

And, the Orioles have done it again.
