Yankees getting spanked

10-0 in the top 6th. Edwar Ramirez’s mugshot looks retarded.

Justin Masterson had six scoreless innings (3 H)

Before walking someone on in the 7th, Javier Lopez gave up the run. I think the bullpen will cough it up.

MVP = Bossman

He’s due for a good one

by JMB on May 20, 2008 9:06 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Line-up's good

I mega-loathe RF Hinske. Gomes cannot be that bad. I’ve seen him play, he is not that bad. He does everything better than Hinske out there except route running, which granted, is a huge deal, but he’s not so much worse that what is gained in speed and arm strength won’t make up for it.
