Seagulls distract Yanks


Another game, another humiliation.

Two gulls perched themselves in LF as Moose delivered pitch to Johhny Gomes. A second later, that ball was over RF wal...although wind aided.

It was like Green Bay in Tampa yesterday, and I kept expecting to see Eli Manning lead the team out to the field. Had to be 3rd coldest Grafefruit League game ever. Winds about 40 miles an hour blew cheese drenced chips over to section 220 near LF foul pole

The game showed us this:

1. Moose did OK after the dinger. He struck out the side. Went 2.1 innings, just like Andy yesterday.

2. Karstens did OK after he gave up single and walk ( which later cost a run ). He went 3-2 about 4 times. Otherwise, has good stuff.

3. Best pitcher was...can I say this in public?....Farnsworth. One inning of 1,2,3.

4. Next best was Albaladejo, from washington Nationals. Looks like a keeper for that bullpen.

5. Ohlendorf will be teaching ancient art history in Scranton if he is lucky ( Randy Johnson still hurting us ).

6. Chris Britton is still right handed.

By the way, saw Carl Pavano last night at Hooters, where he was given some award by the staff.

Got to see lots of Bernie Castro. Morgqan Ensberg ( this guy can play...gunned out a guy at home from LF which nearly killed our back-up catcher Cervilli. Cervilli had also been drilled the previous inning by what looked to be a 125 mph fastball from some drink of water pitcher who was about 6 foot 8 inches). Give the kid credit for toughness. That homeplate collision was like Pete rose in the allstar game. Only our guy held on for the out.

Shelly Duncan will be happy to see me out of Tampa. He flubbed a possible DP ball. He dropped a shovel pass. And he struck out looking..

Almost every Yankee struck out at least twice.

Not much to write home about.

  1. You are a pussy.

    Back when the Yanks were in Lauderdale, some "spring" games were played in blizzards in snowshoes and we chewed whale blubber and drank cognac by the glass to keep warm. And the hot dogs never thawed so we ate them frozen with frozen sauerkraut and mustard. No rolls! And no ketchup either, except for the women.

    That's how a woman eats a hot dog. With ketchup and her pinkies in the air.

    Be a man, you chablis-sipper!

  2. good job, Al, especially learning to spell Albaladejo. I listened to John and Suzyn, who did a vaudeville routine about Tabata's name. There's definitely something going on in the Lowe's Entertainment Broadcast Booth. I'm not sure whether we should delve into it, though.
