Unsettling Events in the Bronx
I've been watching the Yanks-Sox game on Extra Innings, and it's a very odd and unsettling day up there in New York.
Terry Francona isn't at the game; he was hospitalized with chest pains before it started. No word yet on his condition.
Derek Jeter was hit in the head with a pitch, stayed in the game to run the bases, then was removed. There has been no word on his condition since then either, even though quite a bit of time has passed.
In all this, Mariano Rivera has blown his second straight save; yesterday, it was just Varitek yanking a HR on him, but today, he fell apart: four runs on three singles and three walks, blowing a 3-2 lead and costing the Yankees the game.

This sounds like good news to me......
Health wise, I hope they are OK.
But, let them beat each other up......

He hit bad patches in 2004
The good news for A's fans is they seem to last longer each new season,
an appealing trend for sure

He is awesome, will be just fine.

This just in from the AP
The results were normal and Jeter was expected to play Friday night against Baltimore, the Yankees said....
"He heard some ringing in his ears. He felt a little woozy," Yankees manager Joe Torre said. "Timlin wasn't trying to hit him. He was just trying to rush a little, and his ball was all over the place."

Despite my distaste
Anyway, regardless of that, I still hope his team loses every game the rest of the year.

Torre's a class act

I WAS THERE!
As i am partial to the sox (my first apartment was 5 blocks from fenway), i find yankee fans distasteful, at best. although they can be funny in a crude way.
they always play YMCA over the P.A. for the groundskeepers to come down and do a little dance, and some burly yankee fans started taunting a sox fan and replaced the words "YMCA' with "Why are you gay?" it got worse, but at least the guy took i well.
several people were ejected. at the bowling alley/bar across from the stadium after the game, a bunch of sox fans came in and fights nearly broke out. i never saw anything like that at the hofbrau.
jeter's been hit by pitches twice this year. timlin was just trying to come inside, and it got away. mirabelli, boston's catcher, immediately made sure jeter was OK. Derrick got up and walked to first, but then they pulled him. torre is a class guy for forgiving timlin. i just wish he didn't manage the yanks.
we heard about francona via a cel phone call, or else we wouldn't have known. there was very little report on the PA when new players came into the game, which was frustrating. At the Net (or whatever they call it now) i remember geting a lot more info than what bob sheppard gave us at the stadium today.
it's hard to be an a's fan in NYC. i hope to get tix when they come out here.
