Another edition of ASS is upon us and you’ve got a substitute in this week. Mizerle06 decided to take his wifey on a weekend getaway leaving me in charge, like Charles.
Last night I didn’t get the Yanks/Sox game locally so we went for Mexican and watched Vantage Point. Note to anyone who wants to see that movie. Just go ahead…give your wife/girlfriend/best friend/mom a blunt object and let her/him beat you with it for about an hour and a half. It will be much more enjoyable and make a lot more sense.
Anyways…On television?
Bridgestone Inivtational – 2pm CBS (Golf Channel coverage before that) – Tiger and Phil are playing, so most of America will find this relevant.
Nationwide Series- Watkins Glen – 3pm – ESPN2 – A little warmup to tomorrow’s road course race.
The Hambletonian- 3:30pm – NBC – Harness racing’s biggest event of the year!!!! Live from New Jersey!
Sox v. Yankees – 4pm – FOX – After last night’s burnout extra inning game (Boston’s second this week) should be interesting to see how bad the Boston bullpen is.
There is the Pro Football Hall of Fame Inductionsat 7pm tonight…If you’re into hearing people gush for 2 hours…and Berman…

David Ortiz is a big fat phony. knightwhosaysni(Quote)
Let’s see; Tiger in a golf tournament or Yankee$/Sawx. No thanks; I think I’ll watch the Antiques Roadshow marathon on PBS. Bruce(Quote)
David Ortiz better hope nothing else ever comes up, otherwise this explanation goes straight in the toilet Big D(Quote)
Yeah, I’m sure whatever he tested positive for will get leaked sometime soon, so he better sure as hell hope it’s a supplement and not a steroid. john(Quote)
this is the way i read it, the MLBPA put out a notice just before the press conference stating that legal OTC supplements could lead to a positive test. also a bunch of stuff about how everything is supposedly sealed, and they won’t get into details of the tests, unlike the “lawyers” and the NYTimes has. then Ortiz gives his supplement reasoning. I smell a whole lot of BS. Public perception is going to be that he took roids until everything is unsealed, but it seems like what they tested positive for is going to be harder to prove. We live in a day and age that perception is reality. sparty(Quote)
Ortiz was definitely roiding it up. His stats tell the tale. knightwhosaysni(Quote)
Testing has been in place since Ortiz put up his stats.
/Red Sox homer’d john(Quote)
Ortiz in 2003 had 11 more homers, 26 more rbis and .122 higher ops than any year prior to that.
/not red sox homer’d knightwhosaysni(Quote)
By the way that equates to a 55% increase in homers and a 34.67% increase in rbis. knightwhosaysni(Quote)

Ok…the Yankees pitching isn’t that good. Feel free to show up at some point Red Sox offense. john(Quote)
The Red Socks suck this year, they might make the playoffs but no way do they win the AL pennant. knightwhosaysni(Quote)
Jim Joyce is a retard. Why is it that everyone except the umpire, knows when a pitcher is intentionally and unintentionally throwing at the hitter? john(Quote)
Well I felt the Yanks had a significant starting pitching advantage in games 1&3 and the Sox had a slight advantage in games 2 & 4. I still think Lester is slightly better than Pettite but the Yanks are hitting better now and their bullpen is more rested so it is a coin toss. Going in, I wanted to see a split or hopefully 3/4 but of course now it is time to get out the brooms.
If Yanks win tomorrow night then the Red Sox, Rays and Rangers are all competing for the wild card.
After starting the season 0-8, I am really enjoying this as a Yankee fan. cycledan(Quote)
