I almost forgot

I haven’t watched much baseball in the last week. Obviously. What more is there to say about the Yankees’ season?

Derek Jeter broke another record. On what I would call a home-cooking call. A Major League third baseman shoud field that ball. Hard hit, yes. A hit, no.

A-Rod strikeout with 2 on and 1 out in the first.

Robbie Cano was finally disciplined for his lazy play. I saw him mostly run out a grounder to short last night. I would call it “busting it’” Al Leiter’s description, but it was close enough to qualify.

Which makes me wonder how many hits and runs are lost every season because don’t run out grounders? I mean run out like Ichiro or Chone Figgins or even Garden Gnome Pedroia. Many, I think, but guys aren’t paid to run out grounders, they’re paid to hit home runs and double and what not.

The Yankees had cobbled together a modest winning streak that came to an end last night ...

I hate casino commercials ... that’s right, I’m talking to you Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods ... right at you.
