   Can somebody please get Michael Kay to stop spouting that nonsense about a six inning game? You do actually have to play the last three innings, no matter who’s pitching.

   The one and only.

   So now we have “Russell! Adds some muscle!”

   and “Andruw Jones! Makes his bones!”

   Are there any other new guys that he hasn’t done yet?

   Indians just ties the score (1-1) against the Sox. If you guys thought Yankee stadium looked empty, check out Cleveland. The place looks completely vacant.

   Yeah, reminds me of the bad old days of municipal stadium. I think they drew 8-9,000 last night. That city’s economy is a wreck, the team has been bad for years, and its really a Football town to begin with. Really bad situation there. Trading off all their best players for lousy packages hasn’t helped, either.

   That was embarrassing…with all the question marks in the rotation behind CC, they have to win games like this.

   I take full responisibility for this. You see, I drafted Sabathia in a couple of fantasy leagues and now he will continue to not get wins when he goes to the hill…because of the Dangerous Dean curse.

   If you send me a million $ in unmarked bills, I will be happy to trade him.

   What the heck am I saying?!?! You guys have all the money in the world.

   If you send me a billion $ in unmarked bills, I will be happy to trade him.

   There.

   Here we go again. 8th inning guy, eh? Slippery slope that Torre so famously tumbled down, leading to all kinds of mayhem on the shoulders, elbows, and ligaments of over-used relievers. Scott Proctor lives!

    Enthusiasm is followed by disappointment and even depression, and then by renewed enthusiasm.

    CC must feel like Felix hernandez felt last year. but i’m really happy for the lineup and the team i’m just asking for rigth timing
