I was just mentioning that I owe him a call, lol. He's a very nice guy and we had a good time catching up when last we spoke. I really really have to find time to make a return visit to the Hall. I love it up there. [18] Oh, no, I have his number. I was just mentioning that I owe him a call, lol. He’s a very nice guy and we had a good time catching up when last we spoke.

I don't recall his phone number at work, but call the Hall's main number at 607-547-7200 and you can get forwarded over to Tim.

They also played well above their pythagorean expected win total, so at least there was the perception they "knew how to win."

My long-term memory is nowhere good enough, at this moment in time, to remember each year that clearly. I would imagine in 2001 I was in "can't complain about anything - and I mean anything" mode.

That is in no way relevant to the topic at hand, but it amuses me, and that is far more pleasant than watching or talking about the Yankees right now. Youkillis is sporting a funny moustache.

So many hitters in that lineup look irretrievably broken. You're never sure how much a hitting coach can or can't affect things, but I can't remember seeing this many easy outs in a Yankees lineup since the early 90's. [9] I don’t know, man.

Small world. I have to give him a call. I was working on a cat rescue in Cooperstown and Tim was nice enough to try to help (I had met him a number of years ago while I was researching a story up there). I managed to pull it off, eventually, and I owe Tim a call. [7] Wait a second, Bruce – you must know Tim Wiles! Small world. I have to give him a call.

It just wasn't good enough, not nearly good enough (blowing two leads). [7] Bruce, that Toronto game was most certainly the one that put me through the roof on him.

He certainly didn't come up big against the Tigers last year in the Division Series, and his last two starts, he has failed to come up big. His performance last week against that Toronto lineup was particularly frustrating. JJ, I don’t think you’re off base on Sabathia.

Maybe this is a misconception of mine, though. But it sure seems like it. And I'm finding it really dispiriting. Like I said the other day - had the staff order all screwed up though - it's on mercurial Freddy. Confidence is running very low, at present. Patience can't be sliced any thinner than this, either.
