Cesar Ramos has walked 14 batters in 21.67 innings pitched.

1 of the walks was intentional.

Not including the intentional walk, that is an average of 1 walk every 1.66 innings pitched.

It would be a lot better if we win the series today because we get Price Thursday.

ONE GAME AT A TIME.

Concentrate on Ramos and the Rays tonight.

Forget about Price and the Rays tomorrow.

16-14, going for 17-14.

I thought the Yankees were losing last night.

I thought Lough might start tonight with Price going tomorrow.

Dempsey comparing Wieters to a little dead arm period, plus trying harder because runners have been getting better jumps this year. Hope he's right. On this I trust his opinion implicitly.

[Malike]

Let's win this one, to secure the series!

Well Don Stanhouse was an [expletive deleted]! He had us in trouble, had the [expletive deleted] bases loaded, [expletive deleted] almost every [expletive deleted] time he went out there. He like ta ruin my health smokin' cigarettes and thank god we got Timmy Stoddard comin' in out da bullpen right now stickin' the bats up their [expletive deleted]s. And that's what it takes.

For your pregame entertainment, Take Me Out to the Ballgame by a living legend who is a neighbor of mine down here in southwest Virginia, Wayne Henderson. Wayne is a master luthier and guitarist and has made guitars for Eric Clapton, Brad Paisley, Doc Watson, Vince Gill. He is a Red Sox fan, but a baseball fan extraordinaire. Enjoy!
