well if a mechanical problem is all that stands between him and the majors Don Cooper seems to have a knack for curing those kind of problems.

7-1 Yankees middle of the 5th inning.

He is 4-1 this year with a 4.31 era before today. I'd hardly call that "Crap" http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/prof...le?statsId=3974

lead off walk for Frank... stay out of the DP now Maggs!

:fyou the Twins! Go Seattle (for today anyway )

MB 1-2-3 inning in the 5th. This game is flying by. 2-1 Sox after 5 full innings. I hate to say it, but this feels just like Mark's last outing where the defense just blew up in his face. C'mon offense put this game out of range!

Yeah, and even after missing that easy ball, he still didn't ask for a pair of sunglasses DA got lucky for that triple, he hit it to the guy who is truely the laziest SOB I have seen in the majors right now.

Yankees are up 4-1 against Bonderman and the Tigers in the top of 4th from Comerica Park.

2 outs top of the 5th, Milton Bradley misplays a double into a triple out in CF again. And then dogs it after the ball, again. Jimenez on third with two outs to Val.

THis was in today's Trib

Flying leap, aided shove... whatever it takes!

Don't kid yourselves. Borch is going to look really bad at times. You gotta remember the year he was drafted was the first time he had ever played just baseball. He has a lot of catching up to do. But that being said the kid is smart enough and mentally tough enough to do that learning at the major league level.

Bottom of the 3rd Mark gets the first two hitters, loads the bases, then K's Milton Bradley who is hitting .500 against lefties this year to end the inning. yeesh.

JIMENEZ DOES YARD WORK!!! 2-1 Sox!

Sox can't do any damage in the first with a runner at 2nd and two outs.

:fyou lol too bad you can't put a smilie in green. Have fun man.

and actually Hawk and DK kept saying that this game seemed so much worse because of the excellent balls and strikes umping that we had had this year thus far.

You're dating yourself there Arne...

DJ is 39th in MLB for OBP. more then 100 pts off the lead. That should have been for lead off hitters, sorry...

How can anyone think that Jimenez has been bad or even average AS A LEADOFF HITTER? This guy is 3rd in MLB in OBP last I looked, he is seeing a ton of pitches per AB, and has done a great job in front of the #2 and #3 spots that had been hitting about .240 between them, until Lee was moved up there last week. Granted I think Jimenez would be an ideal #2 hitter, if we had someone with speed to hit lead off. The guy is 3rd in the league for least %age of pictches swung and missed. He is a great hit and run guy. We teach him how to bunt and he would have it all. But in the absence of a true lead off hitter DA is the best that we have.

As long Konerko isn't hitting and Thomas is, start Frank at first base, what are you really losing? At least then ONE of them is hitting.

After the whole Bobby Hill thing you can bet those guys aren't even on our draft board.

So I have two reasons to root for the Giants. I have them in my 13 run pool too!!!

Well that tells me #1 they are learning from their mistakes, and #2 they are a little more set with pitching at the major league level.

I watched Alfonzo Soriano and Alex Rodriguez drop pop up very reminicent of the one the D'Angelo dropped in Seattle. Not so much Sori as he is still learning the game, but they said that ARod has always had trouble on short OF pop ups.
