FOR ALL THE GOOD THAT WILL DO

***YANKS FILE PROTEST***
Yes, the Marlins manager did screw up and misuse his players, but will a protest help? If the protest is upheld, they replay the game from the time of the mistake which means the Yanks would still be three runs down with 2 innings to go. Since the Yanks & Marlins don't play each other again until the next millennium, when would they replay those two innings? Don't hold your breath, Girardi.

***PEDRO WANTS ANOTHER CHANCE***
Martinez would like all (?) those scouts to give him another look. He says he's got his fastball up from 84 mph to 85 mph. Um, we'll pass, Pedro.

***THE METS ARE REALLY SNAKEBIT***
Now they've lost Carlos Beltran to the DL, joining Reyes and DelGado. Manuel is rumored to be looking into disguises for David Wright, to see if he can get him eight or nine at bats in a game. Jerry, you might want to talk to Freddi Gonzales, the Marlins manager. He has some insight into player manipulation.

***THIS IS GETTING TO BE MY FAVORITE***
From leftcoastsportsbabe.com:

In this commercial age, many people think Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day are basically sponsored by Hallmark. Father’s Day, however, is still sponsored by the NBA.

An 103 year old man, believed to be the oldest living professional baseball player, threw out the first pitch last weekend at a Padres game. The man said it was the biggest thrill he has had in baseball – well, since he hit his first home run against Jamie Moyer. (Vod's favorite player)

“Tom Brady’s supermodel wife Gisele Bundchen is expecting a baby. Either that or she ate a grape.”

We better find a way to win tonight even though we have Wang-Hughes pitching.
