[12] Regardless, I’d rather have him in there than Gardner…

Anyway, Melky vs Halladay
.231 .231 .346 .577
6-26 with a HR

Gardner vs. Halladay
.429 .500 .571 1.071
3-7 with a double

This smacks of Torre batting Enrique Wilson leadoff because he “pwn3d” Pedro…

[6] The passivity at the plate is what’s galling.

I can’t think of another “hitter” that is so utterly passive. I love love love selective hitters, but Brett is of a totally different sort than Abreu or Swisher or Giambi or something. That said I think his true hitting talent level is closer to slightly above replacement, as opposed to his now slightly above Billy Crystal. At least Billy merited some balls and fouled a pitch off!

I despise watching Gardner. I also despise softball but this isn’t the place to discuss that …

I really don’t like watching Brett Gardner play baseball. I can accept it as a bench player and bottom of the order hitter.

Watching him strikeout looking on three pitches in the leadoff spot does not follow that formula.

[4] Oh, you’re fucking kidding me.

When will this madness end?

And why in the motherfuck is Gardner leading off? Shouldn’t Cano be moved up? Damn.

Tex better start hitting.

Oh crap, Jeter is scratched, Petey says due to an oblique pull. Wonderful.

This is truly ugly:
Gardner CF
Damon LF
Teixeira 1B
Rodriguez 3B
Matsui DH
Cano 2B
Cabrera RF
Cash C
Pena SS

AJ better be ON. Maybe Melky can get another wall scraper against Doc.

Yankees have the “Facing Halladay so why bother?” lineup tonight. Gardner and Cash.

When I played for Penguin (Viking is part of Penguin Inc.), the other teams included the New York Times, Village Voice, Time, and Random House (among others), so it very well may have been the same league. Man, I sure do miss that, but I was glad I got to do it. There’s little better than softball in Central Park on a beautiful summer day.
