This picture of Goose Gossage–taken at an Old Timer’s Day a few years back–is about the nicest thing I can say about yesterday at the Stadium. Goose was honored with a plaque in Monument Park, the old guys–and some not-so old guys–trotted around for awhile and then the Yanks got smoked by the Orioles to the tune of 8-0. Masahiro Tanaka wasn’t great or terrible, allowing 3 runs over 7 innings. The offense was terrible, just as it’s been all weekend with the exception of the 9th inning on Friday night.
And why was no Oriole wearing seams after Prearce's take out slide? Next time, fellas.
[1] Because it wasn't in the notebook.
1) Excellent point.
1, 3) Girardi mentioned it in his presser and called it "malicious"...so I'm sure there will be a next time.
God, I hate Buck.
Okay, Tino’s plaque looks almost like Mattingly…
…in much the way Mattingly’s plaque looks like, I dunno, some kind of grizzled old B-movie cowboy.
I know bas relief is a tricky business, but I calls 'em like I sees 'em.
