Game 64: A Natinal Incident
By
Lord help us if it ever reads “New Ork” on the Yanks road jerseys.
The Yanks begin a three-game set tonight against the worst team in the league. With just 16 wins, they have 11 fewer wins than Arizona, Oakland, and Baltimore, which are all in a tie for the second fewest wins. Yeep. This is mostly due to their horrible pitching staff, which will be exposed, to say the least, at the Stadium.
Taking the hill for the Nats tonight will be 22-year-old Shairon Martis. He’s made 12 starts this year for a total of 69.2 IP, striking out just 28 and walking 29. That’s not how you want to approach the Yankees. This has led to 39 earned runs for an ERA of 5.04.
The Yanks will counter with their ace, CC Sabathia. CC pitched masterfully for seven innings against the Sox last time out, but allowed two runners in the eighth which led to the Sox retaking the lead. Such is life. While the Nats have a good lineup, the Sox they are not.
Sorry for the short game thread tonight. I’m headed up to the game to meet some old friends.
Lineup:
1. Derek Jeter, SS
2. Johnny Damon, LF
3. Mark Teixeira, 1B
4. Alex Rodriguez, 3B
5. Robinson Cano, 2B
6. Jorge Posada, C
7. Hideki Matsui, DH
8. Nick Swisher, RF
9. Melky Cabrera, CF
And on the mound, number fifty-two, CC Sabathia.
Moose Season: The Pennsylvania General Assembly passed a “noncontroversial” resolution today in honor of Mike Mussina’s career and recent retirement. The full text is available here. Apparently, Moose coaches Little League near his home. I wonder if he has a dry-erase board for the little kids. -Ben

slade heathcott in the house tonight!
http://twitpic.com/7kovf
Yeah, it looks like he is playing hardball with the Yankees…
I do love it when they trot out the “A” lineup.
So…you’re saying he’ll throw six shutout innings at minimum?
Hah, that’s exactly what I was thinking.
Apparently the Nats lead the league in walks, that is not something I would have guessed.
could have fooled me – 6 pitch inning
i will be dissappointed is the yankees don’t sweep this team. but then again we all know how they yankees play when its against pitchers they have never seen before. they tend to make them look like cy young
In 2 career starts against the Nationals, CC’s faced 61 batters in 16.1 innings and given up a combined 3 runs.
They’re batting .170/.250/.189 against him.
That includes a complete game 5-hit, 9 K shutout last August for the Brewers.
Christian Guzman DH? Why wouldnt Dunn DH?
Maybe because the defensive upgrade of the Former Attorney General over Guzman at SS is bigger than the defensive upgrade of Josh Willingham over Dunn?
That’s my guess.
Found it, Willingham is on the bereavement list, brother died in car chase from police. Harris and Patterson are on the bench but they suck
Ah. There you go.
Plus, the former Attorney General is hitting pretty good:
319/.377/.449 (77 PAs)
Nick Green and Gonzalez hitting this year ahhh
I’m off topic but why hasn’t Brackman been pitching in Charleston?Is he hurt?
Feel free to email Mike to ask about that. Perhaps he’ll address it on the DotF post later.
Thanks!
There is no off topic on game threads.
No idea. He’s not on the DL.
Wish I was at Waterfront park tonight.
Love those one pitch outs.
Jeter agrees.
Not as much when Derek Jeter does it…
That mustache and soul patch can only mean one thing:
That’s not Nick Johnson… it’s Evil Nick Johnson.
Love it, six pitches. Thanks for saving the bullpen an inning.
I expect nothing less than a shutout for CC & 8 runs from our offense… our A lineup against a horrible team with our ace on the hill. We better win this game, it’s practically a gift.
The Nats can hit, and expecting nothing less than 8 shutout innings from any pitcher is dumb to begin with.
If Alex Rodriguez doesn’t hit 3 homers today, I want him whacked immediately.
It was a joke, but i bet CC will still do it
I really thought they were gonna wear their road greys with “Washingtn” on the front.
The reason the Natinals left the “O” off their jerseys? All the “O”s in the city were used up in Barack Obama campaign posters.
How many homers for Dunn this series? I say six. That’s a reasonable number for a three game series in a bandbox, right?
The question is he going to have more Ks or HRs?
I could see Dunn reaching the third deck.
Hopefully it’s off bombko when we’re up 10-0 in the 9th,
Yeah serious. Not off CC of course, but CMW … yikes.
This is already a win tonight because Veras is gone.
Moral win FTW!!
More fun with FanGraphs:
The Nationals have a team ERA of 5.34 but a team FIP of 4.78. That +0.56 E-F is the largest in baseball.
Probably because their team UZR/150 of -8.0 is the worst in baseball.
The guys behind their pitchers aren’t doing a good job of limiting runs scored by converting balls in play into outs.
Haha, I love it, they show cervelli on the bench he’s not paying attention to the game, he’s just looking over scouting reports.
He’s got a comic book in there, you know it.
CC gave up a hit to the Natinals?!?!?!? Bust.
That was some serious english on that ball.
Heh. Cue shot.
Adam Dunn = Minnesota Fats
That was a RIDICULOUS amount of spin.
Sorry if this is off-topic, but Youkilis took the lead over Teixeria in the All-Star Vote. Can you guys rally some kind of internet groundswell to make sure that Teix starts over the greek god of chins?
I guess. Don’t we believe in the guy with the better season getting it? I love Tex, but Youkilis is OBP’ing .461 and has a higher OPS+. I guess the counting numbers could justify it.
And Tex was pretty bad in April, can’t discount that.
Yeah. As much as I clown on Ol’ Dead Squirrel-Beard, he’s the more deserving All Star at the moment.
Youk’s also missed time and since his return his BA has dropped 30 points, OBP dropped 20 points, Slg dropped 50 points in the last 10 games, sucks when a hot start stops.
Adam Dunn didn’t slide hard into second base, spikes up, because he doesn’t have a passion for the game and doesn’t really like baseball.
/Riccardi’d
If this game gets boring, you can switch to ASU/Texas…Root for the Sun Devils not Steroid University Longhorns, I mean Roger Clemens Longhorns.
How many of their players have tested positive?
He ran into some trouble but is pretty much dealing.
Mike Leake’s pitching for ASU, 8th overall pick.
Chance Ruffin is a pretty damn good prospect pitching for Texas, first or second round guy next year.
Yes he is.
Root for the Sun Devils not Steroid University Longhorns, I mean Roger Clemens Longhorns.
Man, pc69 is gonna be so heartbroken when he looks up what college Barry Bonds played for…
No, I know Barry went to ASU, but just like Clemens he was a skinny little kid. But as a fellow alum, Barry, being the ass that he is, does get a break
Just like Pedroia gets a break – being the only Red Sox I can tolerate.
Biggest disappointment is Larish who was drafted by the Tigers but is not hitting well right now in Detroit. Was drafted for his bat, not his 1b defense.
When Robbie Cano is lacing balls to left-center, that’s a good sign.
did i mishear or did flaherty say the complete opposite of what he said re posada not using scouting reports?
clarification: what he said on the radio
I was thinking this the other day,
The Tigers in 03 finish with by far with the worst record in baseball, so how did they didn’t get the the top pick in the 04 draft?
Back then they alternated leagues, AL got the top pick one year, NL the next. That was the NL’s year. They did away with that in the current CBA.
Ok, that was a pretty stupid rule.
maybe they should have the all star game decide the #1 pick instead of alternating
Heh.
Sorry, the correct answer was El Niño.
one of the worst records of all time. oh well – at least they got verlander out of it, right?
Yeah, they would have taken him first overall anyway.
NO WAY, THEY WOULD HAVE TAKEN ME, MATT F$%#ING BUSH!!!!!!
DON’T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!?!?!??!?!
michael kay: “i don’t like being touched”
that’s why he’s a 48 year old bachelor.
THAT is not the only reason. Even gold diggers can’t stand assholes.
Nick Swisher’s such a bump. Drawing a walk in that spot? If he was a team player he would have grounded out to the right side to get a run home.
haha +1
It’s not Derek Jeter’s fault that he grounds into so many double plays. It’s the fault of the 8-9-1 hitters for not loading the bases so that those GIDP’s would be run-scoring GIDP’s.
Walks aren’t bad but making contact is a much more efficient way of driving baserunners home…
You shouldn’t be swinging at pitches out of the zone, you have a poor chance of hitting them well.
If they’re walking Swisher, it’s because they’re not giving him pitches that can be hit.
I’m spending the summer in DC, so I’m watching the game on the Nats’ channel (MASN). They were just talking about A-Rod, and complimenting his ability and accomplishments, and didn’t even hint at anything regarding steroids. I thought that was interesting, and also quite refreshing. Even the away announcers are over it.
very refreshing. good to hear.
i’m pretty sure had the roberts book not absolutely BOMBED it’d be a bigger deal.
Agreed, I think the way the media and the public received her book was their way of saying “alright, we’re moving on”.
I’m watching MASN also, due to being stuck with whichever feed my cable company decides to pick up. Have you noticed how they’re obsessed with the salaries, and costs of everything?
Wow, that throw was damonesque.
Hard to believe Adam Dunn was once a highly recruited quarterback with a full ride to Texas. Where’d the arm go?
Carl Crawford could have caught the flyball ran it into the infield and optioned it to the catcher before Dunn’s throw got there.
It was Texas, not Georgia or UCLA. Having a big arm is not necessarily a requirement to play QB at a school in the Big XII.
There’s a similar reason Carl Crawford was a QB recruit of Nebraska.
Ok, it is early but bases loaded, 1 out against the Nationals and they come away with 1 run. Yikes.
No worries.
When facing a bad team like this, if the yanks pitch well, they will sweep the series, the offense will bash their skulls in eventually.
Is that really a “yikes”? Man on third, less than two outs…they get a sac fly from your nine hitter to bring Jeter to the plate with a RISP.
I do wish that Jeter had done more this game.
Mike Leake – 1.34 ERA entering the game with Texas – 4 strike out already, through 2 innings – 2 walks and 1 hit.
good lesson for all the haters. when your team is 30 games under .500 in june, you appreciate talent
reply button fail
Here’s something I hadn’t considered … is CC an all star?
I don’t think so.
Felix,
Halladay,
Verlander,
Greinke,
Edwin Jackson,
Bedard.
+1
All Star is tough for pitchers, do the managers/players vote on history/reputation or performance to date? Has he been top 5 this year? His numbers probably say no, but by the end of the year his numbers will even out and say yes.
Allstars for SP’s are really midseason awards. CC might have the better season when the season ends but right now currently, those are the six pitchers who are pitching better than him right now.
Yeah, thats why I hate the whole “oh but he wasnt elected to 10 all star games in his career” becuase one or two starts can just blow up your numbers as a pitcher, and like you said its only judging half a season
Yes. Next question.
I hope not. He’s probably not going to start, so I hope he stays home and relaxes, same with everyone else.
Eh…how many starters usually make the team? If they didn’t have anyone else that would be there, then he’d be fine as the mandatory one-per-team guy, but…with Grienke, Halladay (though he might miss for health reasons?), Weaver, Verlander, even Edwin Jackson…I think there are other guys that might deserve it more.
How many starters are on the staff? 6?
I’d say, in order, the best AL starters have been:
Zack Grienke
Roy Halladay
Justin Verlander
Edwin Jackson
Jered Weaver
Erik Bedard
Cliff Lee
CC Sabathia
I don’t think he makes it.
Oddly enough it was veras who was first to come to Bruney’s aid in his dustup with krod.
You’re right, we should have kept Veras so he could protect the set-up man!
The AG has nice numbers in his small sample. Good for him.
Agreed. Luckily out AGNOHst tree provided us with young Ramiro Pena to fill his place
Pete Abe said something interesting on his blog:
“The Yankees were 32-31 after 63 games last season. They were 32-31 in 2007, too.”
The yanks 36-27, despite the fact they are 0-8 against the sox. That’s interesting and impressive.
Definitely. And we’ve still yet to see this team really fire on all cylinders. When everything clicks, we’re gonna be a scary team.
larry bowa is ashamed of his nephew for missing that throw
Does Zimmerman win “The Player Who Looks-Like-His-Manager-The-Most Award”?
Yeah Robbie!
So considering how putrid the Nats bullpen has been this year, why the hell hasn’t Tyler Clippard gotten a shot out there? Look at his minor league stats (they turned him into a reliever this year): 22 G, 36.2 IP, 0.99 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, 41 K, 16 BB, 2 HR. He’s also 3-1 with a save, not that it really matters. Perhaps, that hesitation hitch step in his delivery is more suited to the bullpen and is a lot more deceptive when you only see Clippard one time.
Nick Johnson looks like the brother on I Love Earl, except he has the Earl porn stache.
Haha very astute observation.
He looks like a young Salvador Dali.
Nice Call.
he’s always reminded me of private pyle in full metal jacket
Of all the major sports in the US, a bad baseball team just looks so damn pathetic.
Detroit Lions?
That because all the other sports can mask ineptness – look at the NBA, has to be the worst sport to watch of all. Bad officiating, bad basketball, no offensive flow, just dunks and tats and a bunch of guys who slap like bitches when they fight.
That’s totally not true. The NBA ALOT better than years ago.
For crying out loud, You have two of the best players in the NBA since the Bird/Magic days with LeBron and Kobe, You have the most Dynamic PG Since Magic arguebaly in Chris Paul, Offense is up a couple years now.
Offense is up because defense is down, traveling has disappeared, and superstars get to the foul line 8-10 times a game
agree. the nba is unwatchable
Perhaps, but I don’t pay to watch Kobe dribble for 15 seconds, drive the lane and get fouled every single time. I don’t pay to watch big guys tackle each other under the basket and no foul is called but a point guard puts his hand on a guys hip and it is a foul.
Most important, you cannot compare Kobe the alleged rapist and LeBron to Magic and Bird or even Jordan, not even in the same ball park.
It is just very unwatchable.
Michael Jordan use to get every single call known to man.
I watch alot of NBA, as a knick fan, Jordan had refs eating out of his hands AND he knew that.
Kobe is gonna get his share of star treatment but not as much as you think it is, especially compared to Jordan.
You may be right. for every reason I mentioned above, I refuse to watch the NBA. just not the same.
Hey Tommie what do u think of Jordan Hill? Apparently Donnie W has a man crush on him?
If your the Knicks, you can do better than Jordan Hill?
I don’t really know too much about him that’s why I was asking.
Personally, I would like the Knicks to draft Jrue Holliday.
That one.
Jrue is the Jruth. (I just made that up).
No?
http://www.instantcrickets.com
Curry, Jennings, Lawson all better than Hill in my opinion.
No way Lawson is better than Hill. Not sure about Jennings, either. Curry might be.
I meant better options. PG is more of a need for the Knicks.
Plus I highley doubt Hill falls past 4.
Hill’s falling to 10 in several mocks.
For the eighty-bajillionth time, donttradecano, NO, Ty Lawson is not better than that other fill-in-the-blank player you’ve mentioned.
Lawson is slipping into the low-20s for a reason. He doesn’t have an NBA body, at all. He’s too short and too slow, and he’s getting exposed by the other guards in this draft who are better pro prospects.
Im pretty sure thats only the second time…and anyway you got your opinions ill have mine. Lawson will be one the better players out of this draft.
I’m going to be very depressed if the Knicks don’t end up with my mancrush Curry – emaciated girly men ftw
My ideal draft:
1st: Jennings/Lawson
then purchase or trade for a 2nd round pick (which supposedly Walsh is looking to do) to get one of Danny Green/Jeff Adrien/Chris Johnson. Since there supposedly looking to bring in TMac for one year, lets say for arguments sake they resign Lee and Nate then send one of the two plus someone with a big contrat to Houston for TMac. Your 2010 lineup looks as followed:
PG: Jennings/Lawson
SG: Tmac
SF: Al Harrington (if hes not traded)
PF: Wilson Chandler
C: who the hell knows.
Bench: Nate/Lee
Bench: Green/Adrien/Johnson
Bench: Gallinari
The rumor is we’re going to sign and trade Lee to the Pistons for Amir Johnson and the #15 pick.
I’ll take that in a cocaine heartbeat.
Sign me up for that now. You got a link?
http://dimemag.com/2009/06/nba.....e-pistons/
So assume that happens…where do you go 15th? Mullens, Clark, or Blair? of someone else?
What are your thoughts of Sam Young?
I’ll take that too.
I get into arguements with Lee lovers, and always tell them, If the Knicks become a great team, is Lee making the starting lineup? NO!!!
meant 2009, obviously Lebron replaces Harrington in 2010.
Why sign T-Mac coming off Micro-Facture surgery, who by the way is 30 years old.
1) Its only for a year
2) TMac maybe gets you to the playoffs
3) It probably gets rid of eddy curry and his massive contract.
Expiring contract, yes.
He’s going to miss the first 20 games next year, then his shoulder will hurt and miss 10, then his foot will hurt and miss 15, then back spasms and miss 12. so no playoffs
They’re not taking Curry’s contract, why would they do that?
I agree trade for him, just because his expiring contract, no chance of unloading Curry though
“The Knicks could put together a package that would save the Rockets some money and include a veteran shooting guard with an expiring contract — Larry Hughes ($13.6M) — along with Cuttino Mobley’s 80-percent insured $9.5M deal. Mobley could then officially retire with the team that drafted him (and originally knew about his heart condition). Call it full circle. Newsday”
Theres the idea, you wouldnt give up nothing for TMac?
And on the Curry front, someone will take on his contract with the idea they can get him to produce. Maybe not Houston but eventually someone will.
I’m all for trading for TMac, dont know what their plans are though. Are they keeping Artest? Because if not they neeI’m all for trading for TMac, dont know what their plans are though. Are they keeping Artest? Because if not they need to replace what 35+ points a night (artest/tmac)
Curry has to get on the floor and actually look healthy though, I understand A team will think they can get him to produce, but you also have every team in the league trying to cut payroll for summer 2010d to replace what 35+ points a night (artest/tmac)
Really, Hideki? Bah.
I wonder how many mets fans are going into their orioles series thinking it’s gonna be a cake walk. Wait until they find out those damn O’s can HIT.
Their outfield will give Yankee pitching agita for years to come.
I’m seriously considering giving the MVP vote that I don’t have to Adam Jones.
yea, i thought melk could have laid out for that, whatevs
did michael kay just say that 8 * 4 is 36?
hahahha
At this rate CC can pitch again tomorrow.
is there someone in the boston areas who can contact nick green and remind him that he is nick green?
Pedroia install the grit power in him.
I can’t believe the Sammy Soser used teh juice!!!1
Swisher is an on base machine
Big Sloppy hit another homer this one off of Chris Volstad, I swear to god if he told another f-ing curtain call….congrads you hit a homer….at this rate you might get 15 this year.
I still say he’s done.
He might get a curtain call for losing 5 pounds.
It feels almost uncomfortable to watch this game.
What is wrong with Jorge Posada? CC has only thrown 34/46 pitches for strikes with just 1 strikeout! 3 hits allowed! That is unacceptable. If Cerveli had been catching tonight, CC would have a no hitter going and Cerveli would have gritted out 7 infield singles!
CC is a BUST!
And Posada obviously doesn’t know how to call a game! What a bum.
No, Jorge is the bust.
I heard that he can’t call games.
Ah you guys jinxed it!
that was ball 4
so was that.. this ump is really bad
Crap. Well, 83 pitches in 4 innings is more like it.
the yankees are working the count on this guy, but this no name scrub should have aready had his ass kicked. Look what boston is doing to that no name FLA pitcher
Just because you dont know who Chris Volstad is doesnt make him a no name pitcher
Excellent point. The guy has a 4.07 ERA and 1.218 WHIP. Very respectable.
Yeah and 1st round pick (16th overall) had 2.88 era and 1.33 WHIP in 84IP last year
Chris Volstad will probably earn several Cy Young votes before he retires. May win one or two as well. He’s a good, good young pitcher.
Anyone see Donte Stallworth got 30 days in jail for DUI manslaughter? It’s amazing what money can do for someone
as a brotha without any money i know if i did that, i would be in jail more years than OJ
ha ietc
Isn’t that guy who killed Nick Adenhart facing 50 years to life in prison? I realize that was 3 counts of murder and not 1, but it shouldn’t go from 50 years to 30 days! Jesus Christ.
Yeah, although i think that guy fled the scene of the accident while Stallworth didnt move. but you’re right
No shit, absolutely disgusting.
i think it’s kind of cool
ridiculous. You know, I mentioned that last night. I read it would be short. But, 30 fucking days!? holy shit.
You know, not to start a animal rights spat but, Mike Vick, responsible for the deaths of many dogs for the use of sport. Stallworth, kills one father.
I know dogs are pets, but I don’t see the logic in our law system.
Vick wasnt convicted one just one charge was he? Wasnt it dog fighting, illegal gambling, etc? But no doubt, the situations are messed up, now i dont think Goodell can suspend Vick, if he does he needs to give Stallworth like 5 times the suspension
Vick intentionally killed and tortured dogs for sport.
As tragic as it is, Stallworth was drinking and had a fatal accident. It was still an accident. If Donte got into his car, did a shot of Patron, told his buddies, “Hey watch, how much will you give me if I mow this guy down?” I can see a reason for a harsher sentence.
Wow. Is that what it takes for a harsher sentence? You’ve got to be joking. 30 fucking days.
Read TSMJC’s post below, too, warden.
I did, hence my reply to TSJC’s post.
BTW:
Human>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Dog
Michael Vick should not have gotten a prison sentence.
Anyone see Donte Stallworth got 30 days in jail for DUI manslaughter? It’s amazing what money can do for someone.
No, it was a tragic accident, but the reason he only got 30 days is that while he was driving drunk, the guy who he hit leaped out into traffic. The judge rightly reasoned that the victim’s own negligent actions contributed to his death.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/.....id=4262751
not to get into a whole thing here but, I doubt this man jumped in front of his car. You know, when I drive, and see someone on the side of the road, I usually change lanes, or slowly swerve halfway into the next lane as to avoid any possibility of a person falling off their bike, stumbling into the road, or blah blah. He flashed his lights? You’d think if you found a situation warranting flashing your lights you’d slow down as well.
I’ll take the opinions of the judge and prosecuting attorney who actually reviewed the relevant facts of the case over your opinions, thanks.
Yes, we know prosecutors are always right.
You should know damn well if you or I did this we’d be facing our prime years behind bars. This dude will miss a couple games.
No, we don’t know that.
Read the facts of the case. The guy Stallworth hit was running across a busy highway while not in the crosswalk at not at a stoplight or intersection.
If you or I hit that guy, even if we were drunk, but we had clean driving records, stopped immediately at the scene, alerted police, stayed with the victim, and admitted full culpability, we also probably would get a short jail time and extended probation/suspended sentence.
Read the facts of the case.
I have read them many times.
When the causeway is “busy” you won’t be doing 50. That’s a fact. I was late to class many times because of a “busy” causeway. The guy didn’t run into NYC traffic, he’s guilty of jaywalking.
Where in that report does it say he leaped in front of the car? Stallworth had time to flash his lights, that means seeing the guy, reaching over and flashing them, all while going 50 in a 40 zone DRUNK.
This wasnt like a young kid running out into traffic chasing a ball and getting hit by a soccer mom.
“but the reason he only got 30 days is that while he was driving drunk”
-So why was it DUI MANSLAUGHTER, and not just DUI?
Did you even read the title of the link you posted? “Financial agreement avoids lawsuit” So like I said, its amazing what money can do
The financial agreement settles any future civil suit the family of the man might file.
That’s the law suit avoided.
You’re right, my bad.
Still, if he didnt have money he wouldnt be in for only 30 days
You don’t know that.
I love how people stick up for someone like this but are so adamantly against a dog fighter. Next thing you know, my buddy will get life behind bars for shooting a deer outside of hunting season.
I see your point, but lets not act like deer hunting and dog fighting is the same thing
Hyperbole fail.
I actually was not speaking with hyperbole.
So your buddy is facing life in prison for poaching?
Meh. Poachers are scum, too.
“Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle cited Stallworth’s lack of previous criminal record, cooperation with police and willingness to accept responsibility as factors in the plea deal. Rundle also said the Reyes family — particularly the victim’s 15-year-old daughter — wanted the case resolved to avoid any more pain.
“For all of these reasons, a just resolution of this case has been reached,” Rundle said.”
Thats also from the article, explaining his sentence. No where does it say Reyes leaped infront of traffic and Donte couldnt stop
“police said he hit Reyes, a construction crane operator who was rushing to catch a bus after finishing his shift at about 7:15 a.m.”
Also,
http://bleacherreport.com/arti.....s-not-show
Look, virtually every single story about the facts of the accident has said that while Stallworth was drunk and driving over the limit, the pedestrian was running across a busy street while not in a crosswalk. That’s pretty much a universal fact of all the reports. That fact, plus the statements of the attorneys, is enough to convince me that the judge probably saw enough culpability in the actions of the victim to allow for leniency for Stallworth. An accident like this could easily have unfolded in the exact same way had Stallworth been stone cold sober.
Right, and I still dont understand the part where he had enought time to see the guy, flash his lights, yet continue to speed.
“or try to slow down and hope Reyes stops before he got to Stallworth’s lane.”
And if he wasnt DRUNK thats what would have happened, too bad he was drunk and continued to speed and kill the guy
Again, dude:
There were mitigating factors. Apparently, the district attorney was convinced enough that he accepted that plea. I’ll take his opinion over yours.
There are mitigating factors in every case, didnt some judge in Vermont give a guy who sexually abused a child 10 days in jail? But i guess you take his opinion as the right decision
Link and story, please.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,181562,00.html
i dont watch fox but here it is; got some of the details wrong but no need to post those here
Not remotely the same.
O’Reilly’s rantings aside, the judge in that case intentionally sentenced Hulett to a tiny sentence to prove a political point. He gave the guy 60 days because the judge believed the state had a responsibility to give this child molester some sort of psychological treatment, and the state wouldn’t.
Once the state department of corrections agreed to provide the treatment, the judge in the case changed the sentence to 3-10 years.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Cashman
It’s dubious, but not as horrendous as O’Reilly portrayed.
He had time to flash his lights though.. I’ve been on all those causeways hundreds of times when I lived in Miami Beach. Homeless people, Hispanic workers and people on their bikes are plentiful. Accidents happen, however, accidentally killing someone should warrant a sentence of more than 30 days of your life.
It’s obvious you have more faith in our legal system than I do, it doesn’t make you wrong, it just makes us disagree.
Apparently you’re one of those people that have everything figured out, but everyone else is just too stupid to realize how right you are despite you being largely ignorant and incidental to the actual event.
Gotcha.
Hey, you’re right I’m wrong. Is that what you want me to say? We have differing opinions, I’m stating why I feel the way I do. I’m not ignorant, way to go on the insult though. Your a big boy now.
**You’re a big boy, I don’t want to confuse you with my ignorance.
Man, Sox is beating the crap out of the Marlins
Just get the feeling the Yankees are toying with this team. Even up 2-0 and as poor as they are hitting with RISP, this game is already over.
ASU up 5-0 bottom of 5. Leake in control so far.
Yeah agreed. We’ve got CC on the mound, Bruney back and Mo is well rested. Any lead is basically game.
Foot meet mouth.
What exactly is your defintion of “toying” again?
Oh I got it we wanted to make the game close unlike the 15-0 Mets game so it can be exciting. They got it planned for a 9 run inning again.
NOT!
All Posada’s fault right now. How could he not be telling CC to throw strikes?!?!
JoPo wants to get back at fans for all that Hip Hip shit. That is so annoying.
I will say that a 9 pitch AB ending in a single for Wil Nieves is kinda unimpressive.
Ok, THAT was horrendous.
that was unexpected
Yay, another bullshit home run burns them.
lol u say bullshit, i say bad pitch to a bad hitter.
Pop flies from Anderson Hernandez become 3-2 games.
And there you go. 3-2 Nationals.
Fuck this ballpark
Was a cheap HR but that was a terrible pitch by CC. Can’t touch his fastball and he is fucking around with a slider.
I have found why Posada can’t call games, the pitchers heard that he pee’s on his hands so they don’t want to touch the same ball as him.
ietc.
holy crap!
i can’t believe the nationals are leading this
I can. they got schooled by Nieves on Saturday. Yanks play to the level of their competition. There is not much effort out there tonight, like a spring training game.
Really CC? Anderson Hernandez? Who the fuck is that guy anyway? Might of been cheap, but still. I was hoping we could blow this game open at some point but those 3 runs are gonna make that a lot harder.
Can anyone justify pitching inside to guy who hit a rocket on an inside pitch in his previous AB? Posada is plain dumb.
I know, I hate when Posada hangs a pitch.
There was no reason to pitch the guy inside. No reason. Unless he was not paying attention to the game and didnt see the same batter smoke a pitch inside for a double. But he does call a great game… that Posada, what a great catcher.
They threw three straight pitches on the outside there. Why is throwing a pitch inside a big deal?
Are you kidding? How about CC executes a pitch to ANDERSON F’ING HERNANDEZ! The fact that you blame Posada for that HR is a complete joke.
ICWUDT
Has there EVER been that much criticism of Jorge prior to the past few weeks? I know Mussina always used Molina but I don’t remember it being talked about so much as it has been lately.
Goes to show that it only takes one or two stories on a slow baseball news day to convince people of something that they had never previously considered.
Apologies if you have considered it prior to this week.
No problem, Yanks are still winning this game.
Exactly.
Thirded.
What do you say? 3…4 runs this inning?
wow we’re down to the nationals. second big league homerun, of course in our ball park fk it i hate this park
Lets see Teix and Arod wake up now …
I know there’s a lot of baseball left to be played tonight, but I think this is the angriest I’ve been all year. I recognize that anything can happen in any given game, but there is no reason why the Yanks shouldn’t obliterate this team…especially with CC pitching. That it is even a game right now is grating on me.
Pick another sport to follow. A sport that you can pretty much guarantee the best team will obliterate the worst team 999 times out of a 1000. Say, football.
In baseball, anything can happen. The Nationals suck, yes, but they’ve still won games. Sometimes against good teams.
And this game ain’t over, at all.
As I pointed out in my post, anything can happen, yes…
But it’s still f’n grating.
Did you really go into tonight’s game thinking, “Anything can happen,” or, “We should sweep these guys”? Honestly.
And, again, I know the game’s not over. I’m not that kind of fan.
I honestly didn’t think the Yanks would sweep. It’s baseball. The Nats have one of the best hitting teams in baseball (look at the stats of the guys in the lineup).
our 2-3-4 hitters are all slumping. Not a good combo.
I officially dub John Flaherty Johnny Repeat because he repeats the same shit constantly.
3 run “shot” to the no name #9 hitter of the worst team in the majors….CC must hate this park.
“3 run “shot” to the no name #9 hitter of
the worst team in the majorsone of the best hitting teams in the majors….CC must hate this park.”Fixed.
With a loss to Nieve on Saturday, a 15 run shutout against Santana on Sunday this team teaches us to expect nothing.
Cano loves bad pitchers with mediocre velocity
Everyone loves bad pitchers with mediocre velocity.
As quick as leads appear they disappear in this park.
Look at you Nick JOhnson , u and ur dago mustache!
Hey, what did I just say about ethnic slurs?
SNL…nuff said
No, I got it.
It’s an oversized hat. It’s funny.
what did you just say? enlighten me
http://www.hulu.com/watch/1220.....nd-connery
If we keep stranding runners, we’re gonna lose this game
A Rod is a black hole in the lineup right now.
A black hole who’s OBPing .364 and slugging .471 over the past 7 days.
We should have a mute button for stupid posters.
im so tired of matsui hitting weak ground balls
this is really not good, everyone in the lineup except for cano decided to take a nap tonite….if I were CC and I lose this game…it get burned into my mind for when my walk option comes up…remember that time we could even beat the nats!!
It’s the top of the 6th. Step back from the ledge.
I wish we had a mute button for stupid posters.
this team is so frustrating to watch. can’t hit when they need to. they should have saved some runs frim sundays game
Did anybody catch the stat earlier tonight from Kay that the Yanks are 18-3 against rookie pitchers since ’07? Considering that tonight (so far) reminds me a lot of how they perform against the newbies, I have trouble believing that one. But I guess we tend to remember the frustration more than the satisfaction in those situations.
they need to visit schools and heart transplant patients every week
promises made to the young and/or sick = motivation
Like the time Paul O’Neill hit two home runs for little Jimmy.
inside the park doesnt count
Actually Cramer told the kid that O’Neil promise him he would hit 2 homers.
LECHE!
4 hits, 5BB in 5 innings and we have 2 runs to show for it. S-A-D
Don’t piss Elijah off, blue. Dude’s nuts.
He’s no Delmon Young.
unbelievable catch by the melkman!
i’m feeling a big inning
i’m feeling a big inning
Even if they can’t get any more off Martis, he’s at 98 pitches . . . they’re about to get into the soft underbelly of the Nats’ pen.
(And believe me, that is one soft underbelly)
We could really use one of those cheap solo homers right now
tavares and dukes on the same team means double the crazy
wow we can’t do sheet against this guy
6 innings of 4 hit ball. This team is comical. Now they will press and keep knocking this shit out of just like those three outs.
This is why they can’t beat Boston, no hitting.
3rd in average, 3rd in OBP, 1st in SLG, 2nd in runs, 1st in HRs. Yeah, they can’t hit at all.
I REALLY wish we had a mute button for stupid posters.
Prediction: the Yankees will win at least one game against Boston this year.
Related point: why is hitting/pressing/comedic ability only a problem against the Red Sox?
Matt ACTY – second game in 4 days that someone they should blister is handling them.
I realize the game is not over but seriously, the Nationals? They are as good as the Georgia Peaches from the woman’s league.
Accent, not sure I get what you are saying.
Shit happens, it’s baseball. It’s also only the 7th inning and they’re only down by one to an awful ‘pen. The sky ain’t fallin’ yet, Chicken Little.
Why, exactly, should we “blister” a guy with a 1.349 WHIP?
No hitting? Are you serious?
man this team is frustrating.
4 hits against a guy with an ERA over 5.00 to start the day. They look dead out there.
And just like the Yankees, ASU blows a 6-0 lead and Leake is gone.
Bad night to root for Sun Devils and Yankees.
I CAN”T BELIEVE WE”RE GONNA GET SWEPT BY THE NATINALS!!!1!11!elevennty!
/quaid’d
Love me some Nats pen.
Good catch by Swish

villone’s getting his shinebox
New thread, please.
We gotta score in the bottom of the seventh.. this is bullshit. And for all those sarcastic “the yankees are in last place! fire girardi” people, tonight is not the night. It’s THE FUCKING WASHINGTON NATIONALS!!!!! It’d be inexcusable to lose to them
It’s not inexcusable to lose to anyone.
It’s baseball. Shit happens.
TOTALLY agree
Shit happens, indeed, but its THE WASHINGTON NATIONALS! With your ace on the hill + A lineup, its pretty inexcusable.
You mean the ace that shut down (save for one popup homer) a team with a very good offense? And the starter with a 1.349 WHIP that pitched a good game against the Yanks?
It’s baseball, not the NFL. The bad teams win sometimes.
The bad teams win 40% of their games. The good teams lose 40% of their games.
Pretty poor showing offensively for the Yankees so far. They need to wake up.
CC should be getting a win here…just a shame. Was a little nervous this could be a trap game/series, cause everyone has taken the nationals very lightly.
He should be, but he gave up a rally to the bottom of the Nationals’ order. Ick.
CC did give up singles to Alberto Gonzalez and Will Nieves before the HR, but yes the Yankees do need to score
wow, how does this guy have an ERA under 1?
not anymore
Johnny Repeat strikes again with the “proud of his fastball” comment.
But he totally, TOTALLY is… amiright?
wow i thought that was gonee.
Me too, man. Me too.
OMG WE’RE LOSING TO THE NATIONALS!!!1111111!!!
That looked like a HR but I’ll take it.
LETS GO YANKEES! GET YOUR RALLY CAPS ON!
Screw Kay and the cameraman.
Haha tavarez you suck. Tex actually had to wait a second on that fastball.
too bad its villone you dick.
In play, run(s) <3
Thank Tex!
there we go.. about time
In play, run(s)
<3worst pen in majors<3
Seriously, if I ever see John Sterling walking down the street, I might have to punch him in the neck… “IT IS HIGH! IT IS FAR! IT IS… Caught! No! Off the Wall!”
He misses so many of those because he’s distracted while furiously flipping through his scripts to find the appropriate homerun call.
Good lord, what a shell of a man he’s become.
Is Tex the only Yankee who can hit with men on base?
Did he really just say taht Alex should look to hit a GB to the right side to move the runner over? Seriously?
the way he’s hitting, yea
No. A-Rod should never look to do that. Ever. He can hit the ball roughly one million feet (that may be an exaggeration). I can’t be mad at him for trying to get a hit there.
i hate small ball too, but that K was uuggly
So? He has to swing with a 0-2 count =/
He would have gotten called strike 3 probably if I recall the pitch.
do it for the kids, robbie
This ump is wildly inconsistent on the edges of the strike zone. I know I should be ok with it being bad for the Nats but I would rather have a consistent one than random balls and strikes
shit, the rays are on a roll
Fail boos are fail =/
UGH! A-Rod – What are you doing?
Alex, I don’t hate on you too much, but that was embarrassing.
1-8 with RISP
Fuck. Really, one for eight? Eight whole PA’s and he’s only come through in one of them?
Let’s kill him. Straight assassination. No mercy.
omfg a-rod
how the eff did alex miss that
A-Rod’s in a pretty bad slump.
he promised the kids he’d hit a triple
That’s aight Robbie!
YEA ROBBIE
A rare sighting tonight – Robinson Cano was just seen getting a hit with a RISP. Alleluia!
Dukes is such a horrid fielder.
How close was it?
Thank you, Elijah.
bruney for the eighth?
I’m hoping it’s CC.
CC can keep on going, its not like he’s tired or laboring out there
He’ll prolly touch 96 on the gun in the 8th
CC has 98 pitches, similar to game in Boston when they had no Bruney. Top of the line up coming up, i say leave him in
remind me what happened when they left him in last time…
different lineup, plus that 10 pitch atbat from Pedroia was big.
they let him throw 120pitches in 7innings, but not over 100 in 8? let him go out there
Because obviously the Nationals lineup = Boston’s extremely annoying patience robotic lineup.
So you’re going to let one bad time overshadow CC’s career of being worked like that?
CC plox.
yanks definitely caught a break with Dukes manning CF. Whatever happened to Milledge?? Milledge definitely catches Cano’s liner and probably catches Teix’s shot to the wall.
MIlledge can’t hit his way out of a wet paper bag at the moment.
Milledge was sent down to AAA. A .397 OPS doesn’t cut it.
Sent down to minors, I think he has a broken finger now
Milledge was playing AWFUL defense before being demoted EARLY this season.
But Dukes is an RF, not a CF. And it shows.
Milledge had been doing horribly in CF this year.
CANO!
however, why the hell did he try to go to third…
jeter injured?
Yes replay showed him limping down line.
oh fuck
yeah what happened to Jeter?
yup, looks like a tightened up hammy
what happened to jeter?
Call up Melvin to play short!
bruney’s moustache is awesomely bad
I’m much slower to praise Cano for that AB than most of you are…
A. He swings at a ball in the dirt on a 2-0 count. He needs to be more disciplined than that. Someone who hits a bunch of singles and never walks will never be a big asset as a hitter, and Cano has the potential to be a big asset. It’s very frustrating.
B. Almost every single CF in the league catches that ball easily.
Robinson Cano’s career slugging percentage is .471 and he has a career IsoP of .168. He’s not a singles hitter.
I didn’t mean to imply he’s a singles hitter. Tonight he had about as bad a 4-for-4 game you can have. Someone with those power numbers should be walking on more than 5% of his plate appearances.
Three line drive singles are a bad night (before the double that Dukes should have caught)?!?!?!? Dude, I will take three line drive singles from him every game, thanks.
Why DH Guzman and not Dunn?
Again, <3 worst pen in majors <3 for coming in and immediately giving up the lead.
Scroll up to the top of the thread. You’ll see it.
Best signing of the year: M.Teix even though no one on the team can pronounce his last name.
But he’s teh curse!!!!!
he obviously maeks this team worse becuz he didnt sign with teh all gritty red sox111 makes no sense tryin to compare him to teh babe but im gonna say this cuz were yankee killers
/John henry
Seriously, Nick Johnson, shave.
You look ridiculous. Your freinds and family don’t have the heart to tell you.
I always liked Nick.
I’d have to say that ‘stache is worse than the fake one that “Conando” ‘s been wearing on the Tonight Show…
CC is a horse. But he’s a very well paid horse.
I hope he’s not getting divorced.
/Shaq’d
Um, how did you get so many Q’s?
aight cc, nice job!
i mighta put drob in.. hopefully bruney won’t be rusty.
Why doesn’t Bruney’s hat have a patch on the back?
It’s his penalty for getting injured twice. Only healthy players deserve commemorative patches.
bruney’s hat doesn’t have a patch on the back…
was it made by the natinals?
god this ump sucks
wow. that was a good FB.
Oh Brian we have missed you.
96 on that one
he’s throwing 96
I <3 Bruney.
Brunediesel is amped up out there
bruney is so awesome when he’ healthy
that was satisfying
Remember when Bruney sucked?
Yes, I do.
It was cloudy that day.
back when he was fat and had a bad attitude.
Looks like Bruney’s ok.
MLBTR has a post up that lists who would be Type A FAs if the season ended now.
Interestingly, both Damon on Nady are on the list.
http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/.....gents.html
Nady gets an Arb offer. Damon doesn’t.
Age + salary = too much risk
Bingo. I highly doubt that Damon gets more than $13MM in free agency.
Nady is a Boras client, but with that elbow Boras is smart enough to know he’s not getting a multi year deal somewhere else
Meh, I’d take Nady accepting the arb deal. What’s he gonna get, a a one year 6M deal? That’s totally moveable if we decide not to keep him. No prob.
I think it depends. It depends on how well Damon finishes the season, and what the Yanks think the market looks like. He might be the best option for LF/DH next year.
I’m not necessarily against bringing him back.
I’m against offering him arbitration. Big difference.
I hear you. I don’t want them to drop a huge deal on Holliday or Bay, and I know how much Cash loves his short-term investments, so if they offer Damon arbitration, it can be win-win. If he accepts, you overpay him, but it’s for one year. If he declines, and you can’t re-sign him, you get a #1 pick.
Damon is a Boras client, and I can’t see him taking a one-year offer from the Yanks (outside of the arbitration process).
Boras is a smart guy though, he saw what happened last year with Burrel & Abreu, yea Ibanez got paid but Damon isnt Ibanez.
13m on a year one is more then he’ll make from any other team, i have doubts Cashman will offer arb, but i do hope Damon back on a Pettitte-like contract
Thinking both would accept arbitration though
I can’t see Nady staying at Type A after missing most of this season.
It’s like Bedard, he’s type B because he missed a lot of last season.
But that list has Billy Wagner and Troy Glaus as Type As, so its not accurate
The Elias formula actually allows for an adjustment for injuries, so guys who miss a ton of time can still be Type A’s or B’s if they were good while healthy.
Like Wagner, Glaus, and Nady, for example.
So why is Bedard not a Type A and Vicente Padilla is?
You got me there.
No idea. Maybe hit batsmen is one of the Elias counting stats.
Ha, I wasnt trying to stump you, just curious cause dont know totally how it works
did that lady have a brawl and a beer in her hand.
I have no idea how anyone every gets a bat on MacDougal’s fastball. That kind of movement with that kind of velo is just sick.
Hey, it’s Mac the Ninth! Wrong inning, though.
Michael the VIII
According to Kay, Jeter left with left ankle “stiffness.”
ankle better news than hamstring?
Much better news, a little ice and a rub down from his Tuesday night supermodel and he’ll be ready for tomorrow.
ietc, its probably true too.
GARDNER KILL
Sounds like Jetes just twisted his ankle a bit, hopefully.
You knew Gardner was going to do that in like 2 seconds. It’s what he does.
Now he steals?!?!? Multiple interrobangs?!?!
See, Brett, THAT’S WHAT YOU DO.
You go on the first pitch.
But Swish, that’s not what you do. You pretend to bunt, and keep the catcher back.
bubububut I was scaared.
Swisher doesn’t like the call. Perhaps he should bunt (ducks).
I’ve done that thing that Jeter did and that is painful if you land wrong and it can nag for a while.
you mean have sex with all 3 members of destiny’s child at the same time?
Okay that I didn’t do.
+2
All 6.
He did them other chicks that left the group as well.
If only Gardner has a Swisher-esque OBP. A walk or single will like automatically let him go to second most of the time.
You mean “If only Brett Gardner had better contact skills and more power than Juan Pierre.”
(Actually, he might have more power than Pierre)
Great play, Zimmerman.
Ryan Zimmerman is good at baseball.
thank you Joe Buck.
Oh, god, does Joe Buck really say that? It’s been ages since I heard one of his broadcasts.
I’m going to not say that anymore if he does.
Nah, I was just ripping on you. He could say something like that…And Biemel looks like a caveman…
Agreed. I wonder if he saved a bunch of money on his car insurance.
I must kill the GEICO ad exec who keeps green-lighting those goddamn ads.
The funny thing is, the GEICO ad agency is awesome. They’ve created the Cavemen, the Gecko, and that stack of money with the eyes.
They’re awesome at generating ad spots that create a memorable image that keeps their product in your consciousness. Well done.
Unlike those crappy Progressive ads. Hates those and that annoying chick.
Heh.
One of my homies from college was in one of those Progressive ads. The big black dude. He was also in Antwone Fisher and the Barbershop movies.
The stack of money is awesome.
I love them ads. The bowling one was, gold.
did you see his show last night? wow
No, but I saw the horrid excerpts.
Artie Lange = IronHorse
This.
Ramiro: swing for the fences. I want his first home run. But that single will do.
Gardy steal home please.
FUCK YOU JOHN LANNAN
Detailz?
Went to highschool with him, used to be really good friends, then he turned into two timing, backstabbing attempted girlfriend thieving POS.
Grudges take time off your life. Forgive and Forget…or stab and kill…whichever you prefer.
Exactly.
Look at it this way: You’re better off without her. That girl was a ho… FOR SHO!!!
I’m intrigued by your second suggestion… But you’re right just give it up, I sound like a whiny bitch.
You sound like a man whose been wronged.
I’m a man of principles, it’s not like the chick was marissa miller, she totally wasn’t worth screwing your buddy over for. But whatever, you do what you gotta do I guess.
you can’t steal home off a guy throwing 96
Double steal.
BUNT RAMIRO BUNT!!!!!
Suicide squeeze!11!
Ramiro Pena looks like Jorge from the movie Employee of the Month
lmao
lol. Pena ftw!
Playing for one run in the eighth inning against the Nats …
Someone’s got a case of the Mon–er, Tuesdays.
<3 worst pen in majors <3
RAMIRO!
Johnny says I used to look like this pitcher.
i love ramiro
Charlie, are you just looking at things in the office and saying that you love them?
IETC
If the lead goes to 3+, keep Bruney in?
no, don’t wanna overwork him this early
YES’s graphic shows no one on base. Mo, why does YES suck so bad.
MY9
Eh, same production team.
Try being around in the 90s when you get a game or 2 a week…Yes ain’t so bad.
Ya can’t be hesitating.
I feel like whenever tex switches from one side of the plate to the other he always goes buck wild.
not that time
Teix blow it open.
NO
Wow I think we’re still have not had a game at the NYS without one home run.
According to Kay, this is the first game since May 6 that the Yanks didn’t homer.
At the Stadium, I should have said.
Surprised Mo didn’t get that call.
this ump is weird, and kinda inconsistent
shut em down Mo
nice job by Jorge Posada? No such animal.
ugh… umpires
/stink eye
whatever happened to a spillover thread?
The Nats don’t deserve one.
It’s the recession. Gotta tighten the belt.
Robbie Cano’s best game of the season, on both sides of the ball.
Sparkling game by Cano both at the plate and in the field tonight. Well done.
Cano’s so lazy, he didn’t even get his jersey dirty on that play.
Only winning players get their jersey dirty
Cano = non-winning player = clean jersey
Mo throws down the middle.
It’s easy to to that when your pitches down the middle can’t be squared or hit hard.
BUT JORGE IS BAD AT FRAMING!!!!!
Typical Dunn.
This is the type of guy who homers off Mo.
But not this time.
Cant help the team with the bat on your shoulders Adam
Yeah, he should’ve crushed that pitch over the plate.
I love Tony Pena.
+1
pena is so much better than jeter.
Good game.
What a play by Pena!
Yay Mo! Yay win!
Now I know how to get a game thread without spillovers — play the Nationals.
That, or have the post author leave the thread and not return, leaving us to wallow in our own filth unchecked and unsupported.

Who called this game? Exquisitely pitched game. Whoever was calling the pitches had the hitters off balance all night, even though neither CC or Mo had their best stuff.
Great call by Posada leading CC back to the same place he lead up the doubble earlier eh? He’s such a great game manager. Give the weakling the only pitch he can hit out of the park. In a whiffle ball stadium.
And the guy was batting about 300 feet off the plate. How about 96 on the outside corner?
Change your user name or you’re getting banned. One and only warning. Pretending to be someone you’re not is a zero tolerance offense around here.
Moose is coaching Little League in Williamsport PA. My manager at work has sons that are about the same age as Mussina’s and they played on the same little league team as his.
