Over! We're gonna beat him like a rented donkey!

Er, no offense to our presumed DH—you’re under contract, not rented. “Cool Hand” is going to get it down, and the top of the order is going to wake up and put on a HR derby! By the way, how does he have 1 CG against the Nats with only 8.1 IP? Never mind, tonight… WE BRING THE DONKEY BALL!

Debbi Taylor had a good interview with Brian Cashman.

Points…

Jeter was a 6th overall pick in 1996.
Impressed with the transofrmation in the perception of the NY Jets just for trading up for Mark Sanchez.
Look what Longoria and Price did for the Rays.
Sounds like he likes Rizzo.
Strasburg could be the one that puts the Nats on the right track. (SIGN HIM NOW…from Roscoe)

by RoscoeNats on Jun 17, 2009 7:00 PM EDT reply actions  

He will not be a Ft. Worth Cat...and he won't go to Japan...

Last word I heard, Strasburg had some traveling he wanted to do, would let his agent talk to team…I like to imagine the Nationals call Boras everyday and offer him more, reality is they probably said this is what we’re offering, tell us when you’re ready to sign…

By the way, excellent (creative) move by Girardi

Make the defense make a play. Sad that the Nats couldn’t get Gardner on a pitch out, but it took some balls to send Gardner and take third on the next pitch. Creativity, ingenuity, guts, whatever you want to call it.

by bluelineswinger on Jun 17, 2009 9:53 PM EDT reply actions  

Yes, they have a $200 million payroll

But Gardner accounts for about $400,000 of it. Also, having the balls to pull your $20+ million slugger for a pinch runner there, though that certainly made baseball sense as he was the tying run in the ninth.

by bluelineswinger on Jun 17, 2009 9:56 PM EDT up reply actions  

Gutsy as well.

Odds are that the Nats would still win with Gardner on 2nd; moving him to 3rd was huge and most managers didn’t have the guts to do that.

Arkansas just hit a 2-run shot to tie it in the top of the 9th.

ACC championship up against SEC? That’s more than a baby step considering the popularity of SEC football.

Native New Yorker John Lannan gives the Yankees fits on his way to his fourth win of the season. (AP)

“Lannan (4-5) allowed two runs and four hits in 8 1/3 innings, hurting one of his hometown teams for the second time in two weeks. The 6-foot-4 left-hander beat the New York Mets 7-1 with a four-hitter on June 6.”
