Torre would not have helped this mess
The Yankees are now entering the phase of their schedule where the nightly losses no longer matter. As William Faulkner said, these are “defeats in which no one loses anything of value.”
Of course Faulkner was talking about the loss of hope for all mankind or some such non-sense, it wasn’t anything important like baseball…but the [...]
Yankees place Pavano on waivers
Carl Pavano was placed on waivers today by the Yankees. The Yankees are satisfied that Pavano is completely healthy and are seeking to trade him to a contender who can use a veteran arm down the stretch.
Teams which could use Pavano include St. Louis, Milwaukee, Colorado and Philadelphia in the National League. Boston could be [...]
Booyah
Ever hear the one about the millionaires in pinstripes who couldn’t buy a run? No? Well, you’re in luck. There was actually a visual demonstration of that last night. They’re horrible with runners in scoring position, and it has to be embarrassing to have the highest payroll in baseball and not be able to win. [...]
I won't be watching the dnc
I am happy to say that I have avoided watching the entire dnc this year. As I read the morning news, I see that this thing is now more infomercial than it ever has been before. Why the hell do all of these media outlets cover this thing like it's news? There is now news being made there. This is a fucking staged event. The MSM eats this shit up though. [...]
Fragile (or not)
Happy 65th Birthday Lou Piniella!
I put together some historical perspecitve on how solid or fragile things can be now that the 2008 Cubs are 83-50 (+33) and have the best record in baseball.
The 1984 Cubs finished in first place at 96-65 (+31) and their high water mark was 90-58 (+32) on Sept. 15th.

Round Two - Yankees Given A Standing 8 Count
When we looked at this game yesterday, we saw two pitchers that had a good chance to get hit, and would probably not go deep into the game. We expected runs to be scored, but probably remain close. The game would come down to the bullpens, we thought.
This Is Del-Bugging Me.....
...I'll TELL YOU what's Del-bugging me... Mets fans and their recent lovefest with Carlos Delgado. Look, I'm as happy as the next guy/gal that Carlos has suddenly found it within him to turn things around this half, and make a huge impact upon the fortun...

....lend me your eyes. For I come here to BURY the Yankees, not to praise ...
Game 131 - Blue Jays vs. Rays
Mr. Maddon’s outfield traffic laws.
Red - Carl Crawford. Stop. Do not proceed until you have a note from your doctor.
Yellow - Rocco Baldelli. Caution. Approach the fly balls with caution. Please do not go balls out all the time. Do not break yourself.
Green - Justin Ruggiano. Throw caution to the wind. No more being safe. [...]
SFWH is going all "bleeps and bloops"
Lets face it. Steve Finley Was Here's current format is played out. It served us well during the first six months, but we've come to a crossroads. We could continue to bring you the same kind-of up to date coverage of the Dodgers and A's that you expe...
Lester and Sox go for Sweep - OPEN THREAD
I'd like to use today's day game to check in with the Bottom Line readership. I'm going to keep this open thread going all day today and I'm hoping you guys will stop by and leave a comment... Many of us bloggers have stat counters and do-dads that tell us how many people stop by each day, but I...

Cards come back in 8th to split series
When it looked like the St. Louis Cardinals were doomed on Wednesday in a game against the Milwaukee Brewers, their chances of making the playoffs looked just about as slim.
But then, in the 8th inning with Milwauekee up by a pair of runs, Albert Pujols and Ryan Ludwick got something for the Cardinals by hitting [...]
This is an absolute disgrace
Many people have been wondering how badly the restaurant in center would obstruct the view of people sitting on either side of it. Well folks, if you enjoy sitting in the bleachers (like I do) and you happen to be in one of the 300 seats near the restaurant, this will be your (obstructed) view of the game, and it get even worse if you are closer to the wall. For $1.3 billion, you would think the Yankees could build a stadium without obstructed views. If I was one of the idiots who ...
Hank: Changes Comin'
From The Post: With the
Yanks Shopping Pavano
From George King: Could "The Idle" be moving? Carl "American Idle" Pavano is scheduled to start tomorrow night against the Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium - unless another team wants him. The Post has learned Pavano was put on waivers within the last 24 hours and available to be claimed and then traded if the Yankees find a match. ...
