bobby is one special player, last night on the nesn telecast they made notion hes one of i believe 4 guys in history to play 150+ games in ten consecutive seasons. That just adds to his consistency as a player and he's been very solid for us since hes been here. Hes as good as anyone to have hitting right in front of Arod.

Do I have to post Abreu's career OPS +?

Seriously, Bobby is a very good, if not great player. His fear of walls is annoying, but it doesn't cost the Yankees nearly as many runs as his offense adds!

Abreu is still the greatest even with his phobia of walls. You have to love a guy whose nickname is El Comedulce, the candy eater.

That's harsh. Abreu has a flaw in his game. How is it any different than ARod on popups, Jeter going left, Damon throwing, Melky taking bad routes, Giambi's range etc?

It didn't cost the Yankees the game and Abreu brings a lot more with his bat, speed, and throwing arm than he gives away with his fear of...

Wang would have had the shutout and maybe the no-hitter if Abreu weren't afraid of walls.

You're in the Masters, Sox?

Trot would win without a doubt. Ortiz slumping???? I believe the announcers also mentioned that Jeter might not play this weekend!!

You have to love how they state the obvious sometimes. The best part about missing the game tomorrow due to this golf tournament I am playing in is not having to listen to the Fox crew.

TNFP, you're sounding like ZEN! :-D

Awesome game. And Ross -- for a change it wasn't a stressful game.

Wang looked great, in the little I saw. We will definitely get you tomorrow. Hopefully Ortiz will take out his frustrations on Mussina, and several other relief pitchers.

I heard Ortiz was in a really bad start to the season from the announcers?

dominant outing by Wang, but he has also had some good luck with balls hit to the outfield.

CM Dubbs is going to go for the complete game after that insurance run!

Is it just me or do these series' stress anyone else out? Not a bad, work or school related stress, but a "I'm too obsessed with baseball" kind of stress.

In any case, I like it. Hopefully we can parlay some of our newfound blog visitors into an active gamethread tonight. I know, I'm asking a lot.

Jeter is out, but other than that, the lineup has not been released yet. I'm sure SOMEONE will post it when
