    I think Cole Hamels is getting a raw deal with that comment because it was taken out of context in which he said a lot more than "he just can't wait for the season to end". Unfortunately for him, we live in the sound bite era. Mike, You're lucky you had Miller/Morgan on the broadcast...

    It's been a while, but as a life-long Yankee fan that attended his first MLB game at the old Yankee Stadium in 1961, I am very happy in them winning the WS again. It doesn't wash away the disapointment of 2001, 2003 and 2004, but it's awful close. I feel really good for Joe Girardi because...

    I laughed loudly when he said that. McCarver and Morgan need to retire from broadcasting games. Anyhow, at least Steve Phillips is history.:)

    That's because it was only the New York market that had a rooting interest and with the rest of the country stewing in their anti-New York sentiment, there was little doubt that the ratings outside of New York would suffer especially with that Yankee team being rather dominant during that time...

    I have the baseball package and watch all of the broadcasting teams so even though the Yankees broadcasters have their issues too, they're a lot better than many of the others I have watched including the Red Sox announcers. I'm sure Mike will disagree with me, but that's fine as grading...

    AJ Burnett got five games too when Padilla hit Teixeira twice in the same game. Both throws from Burnett and Beckett were above the head which is something Watson doesn't like at all if he thinks they were intentional.

    The Yankee publicity department did their job well with this Yankee all-time hit business. I'll be more excited when he gets to 3000 and agree it was way over the top especially with Michael Kay's Mount Olympus pontifications.

    Actually, Posada forgot the pitch count twice during at-bats yesterday. The first time, he was still standing at home plate after the umpire signal "Ball four" and the umpire had to tell him to take first base. Crawdaddy

    Mike, Victor Martinez got hurt tonight fouling off a pitch on his big toe.

    Let's be honest, there isn't a ML team during that era that didn't have players doing these drugs. It's time to stop playing games with leaking certain names every few months and release them all for all to see. As baseball fans we need to get that era of baseball behind us and move forward as...

    Excuse me if I take what a Red Sox fan says about the Yankees with a large grain of salt. By the way, Cone and Flaherty have questioned the Yankees this year about how they should use Hughes and Chamberlain. Since you're a Red Sox fan are any of the Red Sox announcers homers?

    If Kay is a Yankee cheerleader than why do so many Yankee fans hate him because they think he's always negative about the Yankees? John Sterling is a Yankee cheerleader and a very poor announcer too.

    I'm thinking the Jays have to be blown away by an offer before they deal Halladay and if the best offer came from the Sox or Yanks, they'll make the deal. Remember, the Yanks got Cone and Clemens from Toronto. However with that being said, the Sox or Yanks aren't getting Halladay unless they...

    Actually, they're tie with the Yankees for the best record in the AL. Also, Padilla as I stated never left the Rangers roster.

    I always believe what I want and I think what you're saying isn't the reality of that situation. Anyhow, I let you have the last word as I won't respond any further because we're not getting anywhere here.

    Tony, There is some history between Padilla and Texiera. This isn't the first time he has hit Tex. Also, there appears to be an issue from when they were teammates. By the way, what Tex did at second is nothing different from what I've seen in baseball games for almost 50 years and he did...

    I don't have a problem with the suspension except Padilla not being suspended for starting it. I just don't understand that thought process. Bob Watson should know what Padilla did was on purpose.

    I don't know nor care why Watson made the decision he did, but in my opinion, based on how I view Beckett and what happened Saturday, he got what he deserved because I think he threw that pitch over Abreu's head on purpose.

    No sympathy from me after Joba Chamberlain got suspended against your team and your Red Sox cried a river of tears. That same intent argument about Joba didn't prevent his suspension when he pleaded his case of unintentional. Also, it's funny how Beckett, who ran his mouth then is now pleading...

    Yes, I saw the play and I thought he was trying to send a message with that high pitch and Beckett has a big mouth and likes to talk crap. Secondly, I have zero respect for Joe West as an umpire.

    Sorry about your tickets, but I'm happy a Red Sox has finally received some punishment.
