MB has been a full time starter in 2001. There was already a book on him.
Yea but in the grind of 162 games, hitters dont get a chance to review each specific guy thoroughly. The atypical amount of attention Mark got in the nat'l press probably highlighted some of the things he does, as a bit of a refresher.
And if anything it aids all those younger Yanks that have NOT been in the league since 01.
The problem with Buehrle's increased attention recently is that all these ML players were watching him work the last two starts. Today the book is definitely out on him

Huge DP. Bats dont fail me now.
Just put some beers in the freezer and am hoping to enjoy it in the later innings as opposed to relying on it, so to speak
I'm sure they'd move Beckham to another position if Viciedo or someone else came about who was great at 3b and had a bat
If they can change ARod around, anyone can be changed at any time for the betterment of the team

Ugh. 3 runs against Sabathia is a tall order.
Of the last six starts, teams have done it to him 4 times
So here's hopin
We've got a lot of swagger lately, hopefully it continues today
EDIT: actually i take that back. we've been good. last year's team, despite mediocrity at the plate, had swagger. OC, Toby and Swish leading the way of course.
