QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 12:10 PM) What happened? Popup behind third, Crede couldn't make the basket catch, Uribe let him have it. Uribe probably had a better shot

If Brian Anderson wasn't in, we'd have 1 run in, and 2 runners on already with no one out .

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 12:06 PM) posada is batting 4th ahead of arod?? You think our lineup bounces around a lot...take a look at some Yankee lineups.

Damn, Crawford triples over Mackowiak's head. How will Vazquez pitch around this? Vaz sucks so much. This is all his fault.

JD is just unstoppable right now.

Tried to swing, wound up with a bunt. At least it didn't turn into the GIDP.

Joel Peralta pitches around a bases loaded, no out situation and only gives up 1 run. 2-1 Twinkies.

BRIAN ANDERSON CAN'T HIT RIGHTIES.

2-1 Minny on a GIDP by Hunter. 2 outs, man on 3rd.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 11:49 AM) Iguchi sure deserves GG mention this year He's got a couple of nice plays, but i think that's a real stretch, his range isn't that great.

Leadoff walk...Here comes the Javy we all know

So, how obvious of a mistake did Cora make there?

QUOTE(ottawa_sox @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 11:32 AM) Any news on Thome? The original hamstring strain against Detroit he described as an 8 in terms of pain. Yesterday he described as a 3. Any thing you cantu i cantu worse...

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 11:31 AM) No offense to the great Farmio and all, but duh? I think Pods knows he is supposed to be getting on base. Are you sure? What evidence do you have that Mr. Podsednik actually understands that?

Yankees take a 3-1 lead on the Kitties.

3 more innings of that Javy.

Guy goes 3-2 on the first 2 batters, walks 1, and Dye swings at what, the first pitch? Come on Jermaine, use some brains.

Farmer gave Podsednik a lecture before yesterday's game about how he needed to get on base because when he gets on base the team wins. Pods wouldn't talk to Farmer today.

Get some runs early today folks. Jason Hammel has an ERA of 7.71.

With it having been 5 days since McCarthy pitched...I hope the leash for Vazquez is pretty darn short.

Some more Classics from Conrad Burns.

Geoff Blum was 0-for-4 on Wednesday, but has 10 RBI in his last nine games. Trevor Hoffman is seven saves shy of Lee Smith's all-time save record. Ryan Howard is the first player with 40 RBIs in a month since Ryan Klesko in 2001.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 09:36 AM) I agree with you on the premise but wouldn't absolute power be more likely in a six person relief organization? I think what's more likely to happen is this: for a 6 person operation to successfully embezzle enough funds to make its people wealthy, it's going to have to embezzle a much higher percentage of the amount it takes in than someone like Bechtel or Halliburton in Iraq. Those guys can make a cool $50 million by overcharging the government a mere 1%. If I'm running a 6 person charity, and I take in something like $10 million, if I want to become a millionaire, I need to have well over 10% of the amount I'm taking in disappear into my pockets. If an auditor bothers to look at me at all, then that's a big enough discrepancy to raise all sorts of red flags.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 09:34 AM) I am thnking of something like the Balta-Tex charity with a half dozen employees in some third world backwoods. I'd trust Catholic Charities, Heart Association, United Way, and those types before I'd trust the likes of you and me. None of those stand up to the Stephen and Melinda Gates Foundation.
