Wow, big kid

6’3”—230 I didn’t realize Felix was that size.

nice suit Michael Kay

He’s pissing me off less these days. I don’t know why.

His radio show is now picked up by XM

maybe he’s feeling more freedom from the Yes propagandists.

He should be thanking YES

What other outfit would make him the face of the network?

When dan patrick was still with ESPN

he always had Kay as his radio show fill in.

his new show on SI is good

looser than espn allowed it seems. Their streaming tech. needs some upgrade though

I've only heard it once

but I was a regular when he was on ESPN Radio.

I think he's a workhorse

He works like every single day. And except when he’s being an idiot, he’s not that bad.

The out-of-towners can't watch today's game

so I’ll have to resort to GameDay.

why?

I never get how this out of town thing works.

Unless you live in the NY or SEA area

the game is blacked out because of Fox.

but I'm watching it on YES

But you live in NY

Fox has broadcasting rights until 6pm EST on Saturdays.

I could watch the Cubs or ChiSox on the local cable network, but that’s it. At least, not until 6pm.

I have friends who are 2 hours up and they have it but I wonder how far it goes.

Until he has a bad start or two

I must say, there are a lot of jackasses who parade as Yankee fans.

by anaconda on May 3, 2008 1:37 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

It's funny

one of the few things I got out of Living on the Black was that umps really like Moose. They feel like he never shows them up, but we always worry about him staring in. Sterling described it last inning; I guess it must be ok.

is that so hard?

Yep

Vlad, Soriano, Robbie- they see it they hit it. Start changing the approach and you risk messing up a good thing.

rain

but they said that about today. It rained this morning but it’s clear now.

I did

It’s going to be about 62 and mostly sunny in the Chicagoland area.

well we'll come there

did you see the Yankees when they played the White Sox?

I didn't

No cash. I wanted to take my nephews too but it was in the middle of the week and they have school in the morning.

when I lived in the Bay Area

tickets to Oakland games were cheap cheap cheap and the seats were good good good.

I'm going out to Houston in July

to help a friend move, and I was all excited to go to Minute Maid (or whatever they call it now). They’re on the road and then have the All-Star Break.

by jscape2000 on May 3, 2008 1:49 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I don't doubt that

Sox tickets are far cheaper and easier to get than Cubs tickets. But I would never go see a stupid white trash Sox game unless they were playing the Yanks.

BTW....

does anyone have a good idea for the next poll? I think we need to change the current one.

I'm so lousy at poll questions

All baseball questions have right and wrong answers for me…

again

he should have walked Ichiro.

"The secret of managing is to keep the guys who hate you away from the guys who are undecided." -Casey Stengel

by bxgrl1 on May 3, 2008 1:50 PM EDT   0 recs

He at least should have put

the pitches farther off the plate. But that SB is why you don’t walk Ichiro.

one run wasn’t going to win this game anyways.

Which is why

I get so infuriated when they sac bunt early in the game.

It's not a lead

until you get through the bottom of the inning.

Good to see a little slugging today.

Keep Damon in the lineup

there’s no reason to sit him when he’s one of the few Yankees hitting right now. He’ll get his days off when he cools off.

He’s up to .288 now.

by anaconda on May 3, 2008 1:57 PM EDT   0 recs

I have to agree

Though I still think I’d run out a lineup of Damon-Abreu-Jeter-Matsui-Melky-Giambi-Ensberg-Cano-Molina for the next week.

"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."

by jscape2000 on May 3, 2008 2:01 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I agree

Too many changes. Make up a lineup and leave it for a few days.

One more Moose thought

from that book: the reason Moose preferred throwing to Nieves/Molina is because they’re littler guys and can set him a lower target. We’ve seen a couple DPs and some more weak grounders today- do you think it could that simple for a cerebral guy like Moose?

He might be shorter

but certainly not leaner

by bronxbound on May 3, 2008 2:39 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

they look around the same height to me

but sometimes heavier guys seem shorter than they are so maybe he’s taller.

I think Jose has got to have at least 20 lbs on Jorge. Jorge is in phenomenol shape. Other than that shoulder.

"The secret of managing is to keep the guys who hate you away from the guys who are undecided." -Casey Stengel

by bxgrl1 on May 3, 2008 2:42 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

just looking at them I’d say Jose has about 20 lbs and a couple of inches on Jorge.

"The secret of managing is to keep the guys who hate you away from the guys who are undecided." -Casey Stengel

by bxgrl1 on May 3, 2008 2:40 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

They are in fact the same exact height.

and Jose has 40 pounds on Jorge. Maybe he just has shorter legs and able to squat further down.

by bronxbound on May 3, 2008 2:50 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

A 40 lb difference? That seems a bit much. I’d say Jorge is about 200 lbs and Jose is about 225/230

I think if you check other sources, you will get other weights. Baseball Reference has them at 195 and 220.
