@Sal440M: “Randal Grichuck gonna hit three home runs tonight cause all of a sudden he plays better when he’s not in Yankees pinstripes”

@DudeRanch_Enema: “Rice mashes RHP. Goldy doesn’t. You’ve been playing Goldy consistently at leadoff and Rice 3-4. You play Volpe who can’t hit instead of Cabby@ SS and Dominguez in CF and Jones in RF. All of this against a good team. I just don’t get it anymore.”
