MLB News & Notes (other than Cubs or Sox)

What the hell is it with the Yankees? Cashman is unhappy with what Steinbrenner made him give up to get Alf. Then Cashman takes this to the media? What a fucked up organization. I couldn't fucking stand the Cubs if Ricketts started behaving like that.

I used to think Cashman was the good guy for a long time, but ever since the Rafael Soriano signing a few years ago where he said the Steinbrenners overruled him and he cried to the media like a little bitch. Now this? How does this man keep his job? You know he'd never survive in another organization.

[Butcher]

Soriano had a really nice game with the Yankees. 4 for 5 with a homer and 3 RBIs.

Frank Castillo drowned over the weekend at only 44. When I was a teen I foolishly believed he would be the next Greg Maddux.

Red Sox and Rays in a twitter war.  Response by Red Sox a zinger.

Oh, no they di'int.

For whatever reason, MLB hasn't allowed embedding on this video, but more Hawk golden silence.  The best part is the disgusted sigh at 0:45.

[CubbieBlues]

I can never not hear him enough.

[rok]

I'm really enjoying his golden years.

[Butcher]

That never ceases to bring me joy. It takes him a good 20 seconds before he can even bring himself to say a single word.

 

Also, Giambi has gotten rather portly.

Listening to Hawk when the Sox lose has got to be my favorite guilty pleasure.

 

I hope he never retires.

[jstraw]

Giambi is now the oldest player to ever hit a walk-off.

 

A happy Nick Swisher is a bad thing.

[funkster]

Poor guy

Sounds like Peavy is headed to Boston. Get your earplugs as fast as you can Beantown.
