Alex to media: I've got your clutch hit right here! |
| Today may go down as the day Alex Rodriguez left the media in the dust. He bailed out the team from a second consecutive loss to an embarassingly bad team. He also bailed out the pitching staff from another less than stellar performance. First, Kei Igawa became the next name on a growing list of Yankee starting pitchers who are either injured or are healthy and pitching like they are injured. Four games into the season, starting pitching has pitched a total of 17 1/3 innings, which is an average of 4 1/3 innings per game. In those 17.1 innings, they have given up 28 hits, 11 walks and 22 runs. This is an ERA of 11.42. But Alex hit a two-run homer in the first inning. Giambi hit a 3-run shot in the 8th which at the time looked like it was going to be too little, too late. However, with the Yanks down by a run in the bottom of the 9th and 2 outs, Alex would come to the plate with the bases loaded in a moment that you just knew, one way or another, was going to make headlines the next day. He took strike one and swung and missed at strike two and you could practically see the feast the media were going to have on him the next day. The door out of New York was opening and Alex was taking the first step. But he closed that door when he drove a 1-2 pitch over the center field wall. Ballgame over. Yankees win. Tha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha Yankeeeees wiiiiiiinnnn. Labels: A-Rod, Heroes, Igawa, Media, Pitching, Victory |

RIP Hank Bauer |
| Former Yankee all-star right-fielder and Marine war hero Hank Bauer died of cancer yesterday at the age of 84. Bauer had a tough life from the beginning, which probably did much to shape his hard-nosed attitude. Growing up, his father lost his leg working in an aluminum mill who worked bartender. Because his family did not have much money, young Hank was forced to wear clothes made out of old feed sacks. He was an athlete, playing baseball and basketball in high school. He was once elbowed by an opponent and his nose became permanently damaged. After graduation, he took a job repairing furnaces in a beer-bottling factory where he worked until his brother, Herman, who was a minor league baseball player in the White Sox farm system, managed to get him a tryout which resulted in a contract with Oshkosh in the Class D Wisconsin state league. One month after Pearl Harbor, Bauer enlisted in the Marine Corps and served in the South Pacific where he contracted Malaria. But he recovered. And he recovered enough to win 11 campaign ribbons, two Bronze Stars and two Purple Hearts. His second Purple Heart was earned when he was commanding a platoon of 64 men in a battle where only 6 survived. He was one of them. He did, however, get hit by shrapnel, which was what sent him home for good. He went home to East St. Louis where he joined the local pipe fitters union. One day after work, he stopped by a local bar and ran into a scout for the Yankees. He signed a $175-a-month contract to play minor league ball in their minor league system. He went on to play 11 seasons with the Bombers, during which they won 7 World Series. It is said that he was one of Casey Stengel's favorites, he never made mental mistakes and had a fierce determination to win. He would reportedly snarl "Don't mess with my money!" at teammates who wouldn't hustle. He exuded authority and his face was likened to a "clenched fist". He once posted a 17-game World Series hitting streak which has since only been equaled by Derek Jeter. He was a three time All-Star, and was traded to the Kansas City Athletics in 1960 for some guy named Roger Maris. He went on to manage the Orioles and led them to a World Series championship in 1966. His wife of 50 years, Charlene Friede, died in 1999. Bauer died yesterday in his Kansas City area home. Labels: Heroes |

Pride |
| You have to love the guys who just shut their mouths and play ball. That's what Bernie Williams has been doing for the Yankees for the last 16 years. He's a class act, driven by pride, who never failed to hustle, and during his prime was one of the best players in the game. He never whined, complained or criticized a teammate. I could list all his regular season and postseason stats here and rattle off all of his awards, but suffice it to say he has been an impact player and has four rings to show for it. But his numbers have significantly fallen off the last two years, and with his contract expired and the Yankees roster getting crowded, Bernie finds himself in limbo. He has expressed his desire to not retire and his desire to not play anywhere but the Bronx, so it appears as if the ball is in the Yankees' court. But with Matsui, Damon and Abreu as the regular starting outfielders, and Cabrera as the backup, Bernie's future in pinstripes is anything but a guarantee. My heart wants to see #51 circling the bases and striding around the outfield at Yankee stadium next year, but the reality is that the only #51 in pinstripes in the stadium may be out in monument field. I hope they make room. Labels: Bernie, Heroes, Outfield |
