Former Yankee, Jeff Karstens, has now pitched 15 innings for the Pirates and has yet to give up a run. He is 2-0, with an ERA of 0.00. In other minor league news...
Kevin Millar says he was disappointed that Edwar Ramirez was tossed recently for throwing at him. "He's a cute guy with no out pitch and is lucky to be in the majors. I intended to hit one into the monuments off him." Good going, Kevin. Maybe next time Edwar won't miss.
So far, A-Rod is 0 for Texas. Everyone who is watching the Yankees regularly will be surprised at this stat: the Yanks are 8th in the Majors in hitting into double plays with 103, 11 behind Toronto. It seems like they've hit into 103 just since the All-Star break.
No truth to the rumor that the National Mustache Association is suing Jason Giambi for shaving his 'stache and hurting their image.
4 of the 6 potential starters at the start of the season have spent time on the DL. I think that makes it the most dangerous position in baseball. ("Uh, no thanks, Skip. I'd rather relieve.") Has anyone else noticed that the two old-timers are still healthy? Maybe it's true: instead of babying these guys with limited pitch counts, they should just let them pitch till they get tired, like the old days. I seem to recall Al Leiter throwing 142 pitches in a World Series game, and he still has his left arm.
The Yanks "Probable Pitchers" list is now being announced by Mt Sinai Hospital.
