First off I'd like to comment on the Farnsworth pitch to Manny last night and the insane amount of talk it got and will probably still get.
The trio in the booth for the Yankees talked about it for two straight innings with Kay of course leading the charge. He asked the same thing he asks every single time a batter is hit in any game, whether it was the Red Sox or KC or TB. "Was that on purpose?" "Will they hit the Yankee leftfielder because Manny plays left?" "Will they retaliate?" "When?" "Next series?" "Do players remember?" "Will they go after ARod?" ENOUGH! Manny, the one who was 'thrown at' said it himself "We hit one of their best players last night, I guess they wanted to send a message." EXACTLY! NOW they are even. You guys just want to drone on and make it a big story so especially Kay can keep talking. And I didn't hear him but people told me Gammons went crazy on ESPN about Farnsworth...Peter, did you go crazy about Pedro when he sent Jeter & Soriano to the hospital in the same game a few years ago? Did you go crazy when Dice K hit ARod about 3 times last year? Did you go crazy when Aardsma hit ARod the night before? The Red Sox pitchers hit Yankee hitters constantly, enough is enough. Manny wasn't hit so he obviously wasn't hurt and maybe Farnsworth threw at him but maybe his intention was not to hit him like the Red Sox pitchers do.
On to the game. Hopefully (I doubt it) Kay used up all his questions the past two nights. We'll see.
Singleton in the booth tonight with Kay.
On John Shelby's nickname
"Was there a reason behind 'T-Bone'?"
Wow! That's it? 1 question? Not bad.
I'm going to start tracking the Yankees record when they play on Channel 9 (I refuse to call it by it's horrible name My9). I bet for some reason they lose more than they win when the games are on "free TV". So far 0-1, losing 8-2 tonight to Baltimore.
