Boy watching the Marlins is like watching Little League baseball. I a team of 12 year olds could beat the Marlins.

Today is truly a sad day for me and all Yankees fans. Scooter always made the games from his birthday wishes, to him leaving in the middle of a game if he saw lightning. That was classic! Those were the good old days of watching Yankees games. Now I am stuck listening to lame a** Michael Kay!

The generic Sandman strikes again!

The generic brand Sandman is coming in, the real Sandman is on the mound in Cleveland.

I too was at this Photo Op yesterday. It would of been nice to get a few autographs but it was an awesome experience meeting the players and going on a major league field. The players were very nice. I wanted to bring my 5 month old son, but it was way too hot. I was able to get all the players on video saying hi to my son. Next year I recommend having this photo op in the winter or early in the season. August is just brutal!

AMEN!

Hey don't look now but the Nationals are only 2 1/2 games behind the Marlins for 4th Place in the NL East. you're loving this aren't you No I'm not, I want to see the Marlins win, they are my favorite NL team plus I can't stand the Mets! alright, that's interesting. are they your favorite because they walked all over ny in 03? (that's a good reason) Hey if any team is to beat the Yankees, I am glad it is the Marlins and the Yankees beat the Marlins 2 out 3 games last season if you remember. I know it wasn't in the postseason but a win is a win.

Is there any chance we can fire Jeffrey Loria?

Will tomorrow be the D-Train's final start as a Marlin? I personally would like to hold on to him. This guy will eventually get himself straightened out and help this team win in the future.

I just came back from the Garden and I have to say I was truly embarassed by the way the Heat looked tonight. Jamal Crawford looked like Michael Jordan out there. He was unconscious knocking down shot after shot. If he stayed in the game, he would of scored 60 at least. The Knicks had 60 points at the half! I just don't understand how the Heat can blow out the Knicks without Shaq and Wade on Monday night and not show up tonight with Shaq and Wade playing. Plus Eddy Curry was not playing! Did the Miami Heat forget how to play defense? I understand Alonzo Mourning was out but we could of showed a better effort tonight. I have had it with Antoine Walker. Can the Heat just send him home and take their losses financially? I am tired of seeing Antoine Walker shooting 3s and missing. Is there anyone players out there who could help the Heat defensively? All night I had to see the Knicks fans rub it in my face. You would of thought the Knicks won the championship tonight. Is there a solution to this problem because even with Shaq and Wade back, the way the Heat are playing they might not even make the playoffs. Man I hope Pat Riley was watching this game tonight. :banghead

The following is from ESPN.com: If Roger Clemens pitches in The Pinstripes again next season, the Yankees are ready for his return. Second baseman Robinson Cano will give up his No. 22 if Clemens returns to the Bronx. Cano will switch to No. 24. A team official told ESPN that Cano approached the team's equipment personnel and said he was aware that he was wearing Clemens' former number and hoped that the availability of the number would be a lure for Clemens to New York. Cano chose his new number because its digits reversed would be Jackie Robinson's old number. Cano's uniform switch was first reported by The New York Post. "I was happy to give up the number to a future Hall of Famer if Roger comes aboard," Cano said in a statement, according to The Post. "Hopefully, he will be one of my teammates, I'll have the pleasure of playing with him." Clemens, who has pitched for Houston the past three seasons, wore No. 22 when he pitched for the Yankees from 1999-2003. The Post reported that the number switch already might have been relayed to Clemens' representatives. However, Randy Hendricks, Clemens' agent, told The Post in an e-mail that his client is in no hurry to pick a team. "No decision will be made until well after spring training, perhaps until after the season starts," Hendricks wrote to The Post. It looks like the Yankees are confident that the Rocket will return to the Yankees in 2007. Way to take one for the team Cano.

The following was in today's New York Daily News written by John Dellapina: They've tried Matt Cullen and Blair Betts without success. So against the Thrashers today at the Garden, the Rangers will give Jason Krog a chance to be the center who gets the puck to Brendan Shanahan often and accurately enough to get the future Hall of Famer scoring again. But the Rangers' desperate search for a Shanny sidekick won't stop there. Multiple NHL sources confirmed the Rangers are among nearly a dozen teams that have contacted the Philadelphia Flyers about the availability of all-world center Peter Forsberg. And it is believed that while Forsberg is interested in remaining a Flyer, he would waive the no-trade clause in his expiring contract (worth $5.75 million this season) to come to New York for the stretch run and playoffs. Of course, a potential bidding war with fellow Eastern Conference playoff hopefuls such as Ottawa, Montreal and Atlanta is only part of the problem in attempting to acquire Forsberg. For one thing, the last-place Flyers have publicly stated that they are interested in re-signing the 33-year-old Swede, who has won two Stanley Cups and two Olympic gold medals. For another, acquiring Forsberg is a risk because he has been ravaged by injuries in recent seasons. In fact, he told reporters yesterday in Philadelphia he will head home to Sweden during the All-Star break to be examined by doctors in hopes that they can come up with a solution to his right foot problem that so far has eluded Flyers orthopedists (he is unable to keep the surgically foot secure in a skate). That trip will delay the sit-down Flyers GM Paul Holmgren had hoped to have with Forsberg and agent Don Baizley next week to determine whether a contract extension could be hammered out before the Feb.27 trade deadline. Holmgren recently conceded he might have to consider trading Forsberg if no new deal appears imminent. "At the trade deadline, if we didn't have something done for future years, we might just be inclined to roll the dice," Holmgren said. The Rangers passed on a chance to sign Forsberg two summers ago, when there was talk he and boyhood pal Markus Naslund wanted to come to New York as a package. At the time, Rangers GM Glen Sather didn't believe the Rangers were close enough to making a title run to commit so much cap space to the pair. And Forsberg signed a two-year, $12 million deal with the Flyers. If I'm Glen Sather, do whatever it takes to get Forsberg. Adding him will make the Rangers a legimate Stanley Cup contender. Let's bring the Cup back to New York. Let's Go Rangers!

Yeah maybe he can bring in a better back up quarterback who could fill in for Eli Manning when he struggles and improve the defense.

The following is from ESPN.com written by Buster Olney: Yankee Stadium will be the site of the 2008 All-Star Game, sources in baseball said, in the last year of the ballpark. The new Yankee Stadium is scheduled to open in 2009, and old Yankee Stadium closed, 86 years after the ballpark was first built in 1923, and 33 years after the ballpark was remodeled on the same site in 1976. With the All-Star Game slated to be in an AL park in 2008, officials chose Yankee Stadium for the site, believing it to be an appropriate way to usher out the historic building. The All-Star Game has been held in Yankee Stadium three times previously, the last time in 1977. An announcement on the selection of Yankee Stadium is expected in the days ahead, perhaps next week, with Major League Baseball coordinating with the Mayor's office in New York. Next summer's All-Star Game will be played in San Francisco, and on Monday night, Commissioner Bud Selig formally announced that the 2009 All-Star Game will be played in St. Louis. Great news to hear if you are a Yankees fan. I have many fond memories of Yankee Stadium. I am going to be so sad the day it gets knocked down.

The following was in today's New York Daily News by Ralph Vacchiano: Fish game likely in London The Giants' road to Super Bowl XLII likely will include a trip overseas. The NFL is expected to announce in a few weeks that the Giants' regular-season game against the Miami Dolphins in 2007 will be played at London's Wembley Stadium. The Giants would be the visiting team in that game. Earlier this week, the NFL announced that six teams - Buffalo, Kansas City, Miami, New Orleans, San Francisco and Seattle - were in the running to be the home team for the league's inaugural overseas, regular-season game, which would be played in England or Germany. Every team in the league is expected to play at least one game outside the U.S. during the next 16years. According to one report yesterday, the NFL will announce next week that the game will be played in London. That report also said it's possible that the Bills will be the road team. But the Giants obviously have a higher profile than the Bills, and sponsors of the game in England reportedly have been pushing for the Giants for more than a year. This is terrible news for me personally because this game was going to be a Dolphins home game and I was going to go to this game. Why can't the NFL pick another game for London? Damn NFL!

On Mike and the Mad Dog yesterday they had both John Mara and Tom Coughlin. Anyone interested in hearing the interview here is the link: http://www.wfan.com/

The following article was in today's New York Daily News written by Ralph Vacchiano: Tuna swims into GM picture Report: Giants turned him away BY RALPH VACCHIANO DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER Could the Giants' general manager search end with a Tuna surprise? The stage was set for that longshot scenario yesterday when Scott Pioli turned down a chance to be the next GM of the Giants, and hours later a report surfaced that Bill Parcells was interested in the job. Parcells, of course, is still the coach of the Cowboys, but he has not decided whether he wants to coach again next year. The juicy possibility of Parcells finishing off his career in the front office of the organization where his head coaching career began was first reported last night on NFL.com. But according to another report, Parcells had already expressed his interests to the Giants but been rebuffed. A source told the Daily News Parcells' name had been discussed by the Giants' owners, but said his return is not likely to happen. Pioli, who is Parcells' son-in-law, was a possibility for the job, though, before he snubbed the Giants yesterday for "personal reasons." The Giants had received permission from the Patriots to speak to their 41-year-old VP of player personnel earlier in the day. With Pioli out of the mix, that appeared to leave the Giants' director of player personnel Jerry Reese as the front-runner to replace the retiring Ernie Accorsi. Several sources have said ownership has always leaned toward hiring an in-house candidate, though one source said the Giants will not hire a GM without interviewing more outside candidates. So far the Giants have interviewed four in-house candidates: Reese, VP of player evaluation Chris Mara, assistant GM Kevin Abrams and director of pro personnel Dave Gettleman, along with former Texans GM Charlie Casserly. Reese is also a candidate for the Tennessee Titans' GM job, though the Titans have not asked permission to speak to him yet. The 65-year-old Parcells has one year left on his contract with the Cowboys, which means he wouldn't be able to coach the Giants unless they offered the Cowboys compensation - and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones likely wouldn't allow that to happen anyway. But the Tuna would be allowed to leave to take a GM job in another organization. According to his Dallas contract, he must make a decision by Feb. 1.

You knew the Trump imposter was going to win the match because of RAW being on an NBC owned network. It was just a simple and stupid way for NBC to promote The Apprentice which is struggling in the ratings department.

Plaxico Burress is built like a giraffe.

I didn't see the match but saw photos of Triple H from after the match and the injury looks pretty bad. If you go to wwe.com you will be able to see photos of The Game's injury. By the way what does everyone think is going to happen to DX? I would hate to see the faction end. Who can take Triple H's place in DX?

This is the link to the article for JonDigital: http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/columns/stor...mp;lid=tab3pos1

According to ProWrestling.com, it says Triple H will be out of action for 4-6 months with a torn right quadricep. This means that he will miss Wrestlemania. It will be the first time, the Game has missed the event since 1996. The article said he would be due back in time for SummerSlam in August.

I saw on FoxSports.com that Bobby Murcer returned home to Oklahoma and is recovering well. I wish him a smooth recovery and hope to see him again in 2007 in the YES broadcast booth. I can't take hearing Michael Kay more than I have to.
