My sister, who loved the yankees beyond anything I've ever seen, died the week of opening day two years ago. It's funny (and lovely) how baseball joins us, even when they are gone.<br />Thanks for the link to the Buster Posey card -- what a tough thing to happen to such a great kid. It was clear that the runner knew immediately that something awful happened. I hope, for Buster's sake, and baseball's sake, it's a complete recovery for him.JaneBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04882101532666365432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-13788844546457346212011-05-27T08:57:11.346-04:002011-05-27T08:57:11.346-04:00Thanks, Unkyd.

When you're a hacker, you're a hacker!!! <br /><br />Lots of us have been saying that for some time. A good example was not using Morse at 1B when he was available, LaRoche was not doing it with the bat.<br /><br />Riggleman has a strange take on substitutions and the 'best 25'. He lost us a few games by not having Morse in there when LaRoche was struggling.<br /><br />I think that Werth was pointing to the way Riggleman has been using the BP; but I don't think you can fault him there. I have been wanting to have him use HRod more often.

Love the organ music, btw.<br /><br />Knoxville, hope that one of our other commenters can help on the beer, as that's not my specialty. As for concession stands in that area, I like the Flippin' Pizza, Boardwalk Fries, and Nats Dogs (What can I say? I have simple tastes.) Haven't tried the new ice cream vendor yet. I also didn't notice whether they still sell the gelato. It's a bit pricey (after all, it's ballpark food) but good.natsfan1anoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-72238945522994297402011-05-26T16:07:03.012-04:002011-05-26T16:07:03.012-04:00natsfan1a,
