Summer at Last!

Well, I am finally done with school and can devote more time to the daily postings. Some baseball thoughts...

...anyone else worried about Julio Lugo (pronounced Jewel-io when he's slumping like this)? He's currently batting .191. Is it possible that Dustin Pedroia is the only member of the team who weighs less than that?

...I have said it a million times, I will now say it again. Josh Beckett is a frickin beast.

...Which leads me to my next point. Don't you think it's possible that, just as joshy needed some time to adjust to a different league, dice-k, too, will only get better with time? It would help, of course, if DIce-K wasn't the new Tim Wakefield. We have something like 7 runs over the kid's last three starts. That ain't right, boys...that just ain't right.

...my friend sean goes to yale.

...How much do you love that the Yankees just keep on sucking?

...Iget nervous about all the names I am hearing in trades. Mark Buerhle is not work giving up Jacoby Ellsbury, Clay Bucholz, why does Theo keep thinking like...I can't even say it. But we don't need no stinkin Buerhle. The Yankees can have him, the guy is pretty easy to hit...especialy this year. We certainly don't need to be in the running for a superstar on the decline.

...Speaking of which, good thing the Yankees spent all that money on the Rocket.

I love baseball.

Some Interleague Thoughts...

...remember when Bronson Arroyo had a better average than half his team?

...Do you think it's possible that the sox threw the game against oakland just to boost Lenny's confidence?

....am I the only one who's tired of hearing about the Rocket's tired groin? He knew what he was getting into when he chased andy to NY. Let's consider a few things: The Rocket can only pitch six innings. i know I'm no genius of math, but this means that the weak bullpen still needs to get 9 outs. And a lot can happen on the way to 9 outs. And he beat the Pirates. It's not like he was pitching against the Mets, the Braves, some real hitters. I'm not impressed.

...they showed the Yankees dugout applauding when schill gave up a hit in his no-no attempt the other day. Tell me the rivalry means more to "us" than it does to them. Please. At least the A's fans were classy.

...I love David Ortiz. There's really no other way to say it.

...I have strong feelings about Mike Lowell's beard remaining its natural grayish color. News Flash: Mike, you're kind of hot. Fake black dye is so unattractive on a man. Don't be that guy. And start wearing high socks. That is all.

...Dice-K looked good in his last start, too bad we couldn't be productive offensively. He takes on the big unit tomorrow. I hope the little guy is ready. He needs some good starts.

...could kevin youkilis be a better hitter? honestly, this guy gets better and better. 5 years down the road, if this keeps up, he'll be leaping tall buildings in a single bound. And I'll be there to say I told you so.
