[281] There are times, however, when it would be useful. Unfortunately, many of the games were in the past, when the offense was depleted by injury.

Jim Joyce was responsible for counting the chads in Florida back in 2000, right?

[284] Was it a waivers claim or a trade?

[284] Almost. The Tigers are on the hook for everything minus the pro-rated league minimum, which the D-Backs are picking up.

[280] I believe the Tigers are on the hook for Willis’ salary, and the D-Backs pay the league minimum.

[275] At the rate the Yanks score runs, they really don’t need to utilize squeeze plays and the like.

So the Tiggers dump Willis. I wonder how much of his salary they ate.
Meanwhile… anyone watching Miggy’s numbers? Insane.

Holy shit! Jays closer gives up 6 to TB in the 9th.

[274] That’s pretty sad. I am sure Galarraga will get over it long before Joyce.

K-Rod with the blown save.

[270] Good question. He bats Zobrist third, so I think he probably would.

All kidding aside, Maddon has really made a big difference this season. I really wish the Yankees would incorporate the squeeze more. It is one of the few times bunting is worthwhile.

Jim Joyce was utterly distraught when we talked to him. “Biggest call of my career, and I kicked the s**t out of it.”

Joyce said he didn’t know if he would try to talk to Galarraga. “I don’t know what to do. I just cost that kid a perfect game.

If ANYTHING …. Galarraga MAY have juggled the ball into the glove … but the runner DID NOT beat the ball.
