Let’s Go Rays
The Rays better win tonight or I am launching a full investigation. 2004 was probably fixed, last year was probably fixed and this year may be fixed. It is all about the ratings and a Sawx vs. Phillies will get a lot more viewers. Watch the first innings. If Sheilds hits Ortiz, the fix is on. Remember the Black Sox? Eight Men out is a great baseball movie.
Still no big Yankees news. I doubt Peavy is coming to NY. He wants to play in the NL and I do not think he will play well in the AL. The Yankees need to focus on bringing back Pettitte and Moose if they want to come back and landing Sabathia.
The Fall league is moving along. Miranda was 0-4 yesterday with 3 K’s and has cooled off. He still deserves a good chance at first in 2009.
On a surprise development, Giambi is neither a class A or B free agent this year. I still doubt he comes back but if he is offered arbitration and signs someplace else, the Yankees do not get any draft picks. I still think the Yanks should offer Abreu and Marte arbitration. If both come back on 1 year deals, not a huge deal and if they leave, the Yanks get draft picks unless they sign with a teams whose 1st round draft pick is protected.
How many days until pitchers and catchers????
