MANNY SPEAKS
June 5, 2003 in Uncategorized
Ok, I really don’t care that he is; I’m just mocking those who take such umbrage at the fact that certain stars won’t do their ‘duty’ and talk to the media…he didn’t have anything monumental to say; but if you really care, it is in Heuschkel’s notes along with a bit about Nomar’s triples…
Personally, I like the opening to his game recap:
PITTSBURGH – Pedro Martinez was joking about Sammy Sosa’s corked bat already being auctioned on e-Bay.
The Byung-Hyun Kim trade looks like a steal.
Manny Ramirez is talking – with a smile, no less.
Derek Lowe is cancer-free.
Everything seems to be swell again with the Red Sox. There’s no better way to end a five-game losing streak than to sweep a doubleheader and move into first place.
As an added bonus, the sure-fire Cy Young winner in April got seriously spanked last night…from Amore’s Yankees recap:
How long is it before a slump can no longer be considered a slump? How long before this must be considered a bad year for the Yankees?
It’s getting there. Though the Yankees fell only a half game behind the first-place Red Sox in the AL East, there is no way to take that seriously anymore, not if you’ve watched the Yankees play lately.
“This is more than just a bad stretch,” said Mussina, who has not won since May 7. “A couple of weeks, a month is a bad stretch. But we just haven’t been playing consistently since we got out of April. We’re just not the same team.”
Also an interesting tidbit in that article; the Yankees are 0-18 when trailing after the 6th inning…and they have come back to tie only once. Let’s hope it continues…
