50 Basis Points


I have been expressing concern for our rookie, Bird, and his injured foot.

The Yankees, in my view, rushed him back for yesterday's game.

I do understand that Carter is not physically fit to play 162 games, given that he was 
signed as a back-up.  

So Bird, naturally, told everyone, " I'm ready.  I'm good."  Otherwise, we'll be seeing Romine at
 first ( with Beltran out of the picture).

Let's hope he is an honest young man,  and understands the implications of a nagging and lingering injury, as opposed to toughing his way through another game at the stadium.

If he is 100% healthy, then I will happily shut-up about that.

However, he went 0-4 with 3 strike outs.  I didn't get to see them, but strike outs rarely make a player look good.

He is hitting .050

In my terms, that is 50 basis points.  Like what Banks now pay on your Savings.

Something ain't right.

Too early to be happy. I plan to remain miserable . But we have had two big Yankee wins.

I wanted to see Hicks, as well. And look forward to Monty's next start.

And Bird's next hit.

IT IS FUN TO WATCH JUDGE COME UP, FUN TO WAIT FOR MONTGOMERY'S NEXT START, I EVEN LIKE WATCHING TORREYES PLAY....... BUT, BIRD?..... I'M AFRAID YOUR RIGHT.....SOMETHING'S NOT RIGHT....... MY PREDICTION: BIRD WILL GO ON THE 10 -15 DAY DL, THEN DO THE SCRANTON REHAB THING.... HE WON'T BE BROUGHT BACK UNTIL HE STARTS HITTING IN SCRANTON...... UNBELIEVABLE...... WILL WE EVER GET SANCHEZ, BIRD, JUDGE, AND DIDI IN THE SAME LINEUP THIS SEASON?
