    ian – i’m ok with him testing the rookie left fielder. i think the wet-ish field slowed him down on that slide, otherwise he might’ve been in there.

    BTW the 4 Red Sox starters in the All Star Game are Youk, Pedroia, Manny and Big Papi.

    i don’t really feel bad for kinsler because pedey’s doing great, especially lately, but WOW kinsler’s numbers are incredible so far this year. his bad luck that he’s a) a ranger and b) competing with pedey for that 2B spot.

    Kinsler will probably be the backup at 2B

    i sure hope kinsler gets the nod, he certainly deserves it in my book.

    My 4th was pretty cool because my brother got married yesterday in CA.

    They picked that day because a) he had the day off (he’s in the air force. and b) they didn’t want to forget their anniversary

    What is up with the pornstache?

    I absolutely cannot stand Mr. Pornstache. Never could. He is definitely in the top spot on my “NYY players I can’t stand” list, w/A-Rod a close second.

    P.S. to the above. My NYY partisan cousin, for reasons I am completely unable to fathom, has a major thing about Mr. Pornstache, although when I helpfully sent her a picture I found of him from quite a few years ago, she wrote back saying “Now THAT is the Jason Giambi I fell in love with!” So I guess even she can see he has become totally disgusting.

    ecl- I can’t stand him either along w/ A-Rod and Damon

    I do like Mariano Rivera though

    I like Rivera, always have. I know his skills are declining now, but in his prime he was absolutely amazing, the best closer I’ve *ever* seen, bar none.

    I’m still fond of Abreu too (although he’s only in his second season w/NY so almost doesn’t count). Patient at the plate, really pleasant sort of guy, sort of reminds me of Bernie Williams in his demeanor (an old favorite from years past). He also has wonderful dimples. /shallow

    Cool. Gameday thread back after the holiday! Woo!

    I need to find a way to get over my supreme dislike of A-rod. I find myself growling at the TV whenever they show him.

    I’ll freely admit that Mo is no looker by ANY stretch of the imagination. He definitely wins my vote with his career history, though.

    Bethie, I pretty much have to avert my eyes at the sight of A-Rod. Or Giambi. Or Damon. Even Jeter anymore, and he used to be one of my faves. I will say this about A-Rod, though — he’s got stunning eye color.
