The Yankees are beating up the White Sox, 11-3, behind Moose, who I’ve been convinced should not be in the Major League lineup. He doesn’t have any options left, and neither does Farnsworth. No, Farnsworth was not traded. Cashman couldn’t give him away.
I looked at tonight, in my own, personal universe, as the start of the pennant race. I have my A-Rod and Mo autographed baseballs now in place, with Mickey and Joe, this is the first game after the trade deadline… let’s go.
The Yankees are going to doing youthful stuff with their bullpen, probably calling Joba Chamberlain up from AAA Scranton, where he’s been throwing in the high 90s. (Brian Bruney will probably be the one to drop to make room for Chamberlain.) And young Phil Hughes says he’ll be pitching against Gil Meche and the Royals on Saturday.
Boston is losing to Baltimore, which makes sense, as Bedard is a better pitcher than Beckett right now.
Aside from that, I’ve got my questions ready for a brief interview with Congressman Roy Blunt tomorrow. I’ll have that tomorrow both at RedState and here. I’m excited about this.
In unrelated news, the NAACP is asking us to keep an open mind about Mike Vick. All I’ve heard are allegations and a media pronouncement of guilt. My mind is open.
