Ponson and Geise: Sweep’d Be Nice

So I’m focused now on these ‘Yankees’ that the Mets face this week.

Seems that they are the former 1901 Orioles and also play in New York. They won a few chamionships last century which sort of makes them the Portugal of international exploration.

They are led by a left fielder named Christian who is hitting .400. Their rotation stalwarts are guys named Geise, Ponson and Rasner. They have a manager who has been there much longer than Jerry, so that could be an edge. They have an “overrated” shortstop who will finish his career with about 3800 hits.

Seems like tomorrow is very sweepable.

Also looking ahead to tomorrow’s papers:

– blah blah two stadiums article

– blah blah had to attend both games blah blah traffic blah blah parking could be tough!

– blah blah history of the series

– blah blah clemens piazza

– blah blah manager comparison article

Boring. Interleague play stopped being interesting when….well it never was. Give me a mayor’s trophy game any day.

>38,867

>No that’s not some number that the exaggerating Howie Rose imagines is at Shea tonight.

Michael Kay just said that’s how many people (38, 867) are at the Yankee game in Pittsburgh. What’s amazing is that it’s the third largest crowd in stadium history.

Wow. So people showed up for the first two games ever at the stadium and then stopped going? That’s awful.

No pics available yet….and over at Shea the Mets never release any photo that shows the empty green and orange.

Interestingly, as of the latest episode of Battlestar Galactica, the survivor count is 39,665 or as Howie Rose would put it “about 40,000 in the fleet.”

>Meanwhile In The Yankee Game: Retire #21?

>Sorry it’s ten-zip on SNY, I’m channel surfing.

Who is Justin Christian and why is he playing left field for the Yankees and how did he get a real number (#17 not something in the sixties).

They showed Hawkins warming up and it reminded me that he got booed into not wearing Paul O’Neill’s #21.

That begs the question – are they going to retire Paulie O’s number? He was a leader, won a lot of rings, and in my mind a Hall of Famer. Some day they will retire 2 and 6 and twenty years from now probably even #13. At some point it gets silly.

Retire 21 or give it out? I’ll vote give it out. But I’d also unretire #44 and #1. Retired numbers should be even rarer than the Hall.
