Man, that's what I like about you - you call it like you see it. I hope Joba did throw at that mouthy pussy champ summers wannabe! The only thing I regret is that he didn't hit him. I hate the sox and their "nation" Amen mike! Man, that’s what I like about you – you call it like you see it. I hope Joba did throw at that mouthy pussy champ summers wannabe!

Ask the Red Sox if it was worth it to have Dave Roberts “rot” on the bench then coome in to steal a base in game four of the 04′ disaster

Yanks aren’t going to make the playoffs by more than a game ot two, every game counts and who’s to say that one run here and there won’t make all the difference

You’re also right about the excitment is on the field- not with who came up with Mini-Moose first

Fri, 31 Aug 2007 20:31:25 +0000 http://riveraveblues.com/2007/08/30/division-title-for-swb/#comment-20667 There's not much to get excited about with Sept. call-ups; all the big names (IPK, Joba, Hughes) are up already. Maybe Brett Gardner gets a call-up and rots on the bench waiting for those once-a-week pinch running oppotunities. There's only so many times we can go back and try to figure out what 40-man roster move to make. That dead horse has been beaten into jerky. It's the last month of the season, the excitement is in the games, not the roster moves.

Fri, 31 Aug 2007 16:02:50 +0000 http://riveraveblues.com/2007/08/30/division-title-for-swb/#comment-20651 I'm not going to do a full post on Sept. call-ups (started to write a post on it, too boring), but here's what I think: DeSalvo after AAA playoffs Alberto Gonzalez after AAA playoffs Igawa ASAP Karstens ASAP Ben Kozlowski after AAA playoffs - Henn DFA'ed to make room Minky ASAP - Sardinha DFA'ed to make room Kevin Thompson ASAP Chase Wright after AA playoffs I also think they'll call-up Juan Miranda since he's already on the 40-man, but he'll sit and watch, not play (After AA playoffs of course). I'm sure Alan Horne, Kevin Whelan & Brett Gardner will get the same treatment as Hughes, Clip & JB Cox last year: shag flys during BP, hang out in the clubhouse, watch the games from the stands to get a taste. I’m not going to do a full post on Sept. call-ups (started to write a post on it, too boring), but here’s what I think:

DeSalvo after AAA playoffs
Alberto Gonzalez after AAA playoffs
Igawa ASAP
Karstens ASAP
Ben Kozlowski after AAA playoffs – Henn DFA’ed to make room
Minky ASAP – Sardinha DFA’ed to make room
Kevin Thompson ASAP
Chase Wright after AA playoffs

Yanks have no one on bench right now who is a real threat to steal a base, I'm thinking tied game, 8th inning and giambi gets a walk Gardner would be a valuable asset to have on the bench True, but I’d rather see Gardner on the 40 & on the team for the last month because he has one specific skill that could help a lot right now… can we all agree Kevin Thompson is not longer a prospect?

I hope they Bring Gardner up Sept 1st to be a late inning pinch runner monster, 3 SB's tonight, he could be a helluva weapon late in a close game Great AA promotion of Robertson!
