268. Just caught a quick take on SportsCenter from Harold Reynolds on Bubba's impact on overall Yankee D... pretty cool. I'm tellin' ya — he's our Brian Doyle this year...

267. This was actually a big night. We tied cleveland. Something that looked unlikely a few days ago.

266. Dear Joe Torre,

In the next week, barring some miraculous recovery to June 22, 2002 (See below, I'm obsessed with this game), Embree should NOT make the post-season.

Respectfully,

Paul in Boston

265. Pure comic relief at the end of a long evening...comments trickling down to one every 2 to 3 minutes, then with Embree's appearance, the comments spike up to 2 a minute, and you can hear the Yankees fans heckling him mercilessly.

Let's hope there's no letdown, and that the doubleheader takes a lot out of the Sox pitching (at a minimum)...one or two losses wouldn't be too bad either.

263. I feel sorry for that Rogers guy. For the rest of his life people will ask him who he hit his first homer off of and he'll have to say "Embree".

262. I "watch" almost every game on the MLB Gameday, since I'm on the west coast and I can't really get away with MLBTV at the office. So I spend a lot of time staring at postage-stamp-size pictures of players. And I will say this: though he's not much of a pitcher, Embree looks like a very happy man. Yogic peace maybe. Can't be job satisfaction.

261. Embree with a tremendous Strike 3. He's the man

259. Better make that single-A.

258. LOL. You can really hear the fans in the sparse stadium... "Embree, you suck!" came in loud and clear...

257. It's like the end of WarGames. Joe's watching Embree give up hits left and right in a game that's very much over. Girardi asks' Stottlemyre what's going on, why Joe just stares blankly at the field without doing anything.

"He's learning," says Mel.

256. it's all Yankees fans at Baltimore because I hear loud booing for Embree

255. If Embree makes the PS roster, I will personally take one for the team and do a Tonya Harding on him at the airport.

254. This is just about a perfect evening. Big enough cushion (I think) for Embree to tank in his audition and to completely lose Torre's lust for late-inning lefties (no matter how maddeningly mediocre).

253. Alex Graman never got a shot at the LOOGY job this year. Someone explain that to me.

252. Embree's latest audition going about the same as the others

251. And that Lawton can't be trusted in the OF . . .

249. Lawton should have got that.

By: BklynBomber

250. Another bad audition for Lawton... better to re-re-re-confirm this now than this weekend.
