SOMETIMES HE'S RIGHT, SOMETIMES HE'S NOT

***SOMETIMES HE'S BOTH***
Vod attributed the sarcastic Scott Shields comment to the Yankee broadcast team, when in fact, it was the clueless Fox team of Joe Buck and Eric "somebody." Obviously, Vod watched that game with the sound muted, which is probably the right thing to do. It seemed contradictory to me that Shields was praised and then damned in consecutive sentences. Alas, sometimes my humor (or sarcasm) is too subtle for the masses.

***HERE'S ANOTHER EXAMPLE***
Angel centerfielder Tori Hunter, commenting on Andy Pettitte's gem on Saturday.
"Andy Pettitte pitched a great game. He reminded me of the Andy Pettitte of old when he was young." Where's Casey Stengel when you need him?

***SPEAKING OF CASEY***
There is actually a ninth way of scoring from third as opposed to 2nd:
A fielder's choice

***POUNDING THE HORSEHIDE***
The Yanks "beat up" Scott Kasmir yesterday, smashing 3 hits off the crafty lefthander. Wow! Luckily, two of them were homers so they didn't look totally inept. Speaking of inept, Vasquez continues to disappoint. On the other hand, Bobby Abreu wasn't disappointed, hitting his 10th career homer off Javier. Although he hit the ball hard twice, Teixeira went 0-2 and is now hitting .119. David Ortiz in the meantime, is batting a spiffy .152, which is beginning to look good to Teixeira.

***HE CAN'T HIT, BUT...***
Jose Molina (remember him?), backup catcher for the Blue Jays, threw out 4 Tampa Bay runners attempting to steal yesterday, including Carl Crawford twice. I wonder if Posada was watching?
