Did Navarro Purposely Blow the 8th Inning?

2008-07-17T19:06:44Z

Maybe it’s the innocent little kid in me, but that thought *never* occurred to me last night watching the game.

Coco & the Rays Brawl

2008-06-06T03:58:11Z

Shit like what happened last night and tonight is the type of stuff that can send a team right into the wrong direction~ south. Let's hope that Theo & Tito get everybody settled down and keep everyone's head screwed on straight. Still wondering what happened between Manny & Youk and if the 2nd inning brawl had anything to do with it.
Going back to to Coco's steal in the 6th inning the night before~ you can clearly see in the replay that Bartlett's knee was blocking the bag as Coco was approaching. That's the stick that went up Coco's butt and his motivation for the late slide 2 innings later. He called it 'shady.' What does the rule book have to say about blocking the bag like that during an attempted steal?

Yankees pitcher dies as plane hits NYC building

Yankees pitcher dies as plane hits NYC building

NEW YORK - A small plane owned by New York Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle crashed into a 50-story condominium tower Wednesday on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, raining flaming debris onto the sidewalks below and rattling New Yorkers’ nerves five years after the Sept. 11 attack. Local affiliate WNBC reported four people had been killed.

Law enforcement officials said a member of the New York Yankees’ organization was aboard the plane. The Associated Press and NBC News identified that person as Lidle. Lidel's passport was reportedly found on the street below the crash site.

The FBI and the Homeland Security Department said there was no evidence it was a terrorist attack. “The initial indication is that there is a terrible accident,” Homeland Security spokesman Russ Knocke said. Nevertheless, fighter jets were sent aloft over U.S. cities as a precaution, the Pentagon said.

The twin-engine plane came through a hazy, cloudy sky and hit the 20th floor of The Belaire — a red-brick tower overlooking the East River, about five miles from the World Trade Center — with a loud bang, touching off a raging fire that cast a pillar of black smoke over the city and sent flames shooting from four windows on two adjoining floors.

Firefighters shot streams of water at the flames from the floors below and put the blaze out in less than an hour.

Large crowds gathered in the street in the largely wealthy New York neighborhood, with many people in tears and some trying to reach loved ones by cell phone.

“I was worried the building would explode, so I got out of there fast,” said Lori Claymont, who fled an adjoining building in sweatpants.

Bodies found on ground, in apartment
Police initially said two people were killed. WNBC reported two bodies found on the ground, one of which was strapped to an aircraft chair. Two bodies were also found in an apartment in the building, the TV station said.

Young May Cha, a 23-year-old Cornell University medical student, said she was walking back from the grocery store down 72nd Street when she saw an object out of the corner of her eye.

“I just saw something come across the sky and crash into that building,” she said. Cha said there appeared to be smoke coming from behind the aircraft, and “it looked like it was flying erratically for the short time that I saw it.”

“The explosion was very small. I was not threatened for my life,” she added.

Richard Drutman, a professional photographer who lives on the 11th floor, said he was talking on the telephone when he felt the building shake.

“There was a huge explosion. I looked out my window, and saw what appeared to be pieces of wings, on fire, falling from the sky,” Drutman said. He and his girlfriend quickly evacuated the building.

Four-seater plane involved
NBC's Jay Blackman reported it was a fixed-wing aircraft operating under visual flight rules, which means the aircraft did not have to be in contact with air traffic controllers. WNBC reported the plane was a Cirrus 20, which can seat four.

The Federal Aviation Administration said it was too early to determine what type of aircraft was involved, or what might have caused the crash.

The plane left New Jersey’s Teterboro Airport, just across the Hudson River from the city, at 2:30 p.m., about 15 minutes before the crash, according to officials at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the airport. But they said they did not where the aircraft was headed.

FAA spokeswoman Diane Spitaliere said the plane was apparently not in contact with air traffic controllers; pilots flying small planes by sight are not required to be in contact.

The National Transportation Safety Board sent a team to investigate.

Former NTSB director Jim Hall said in a telephone interview he doesn’t understand how a plane could get so close to a New York City building after Sept. 11.

“We’re under a high alert and you would assume that if something like this happened, people would have known about it before it occurred, not after,” Hall said.

Airports operating normally
Mystery writer Carol Higgins Clark, daughter of author Mary Higgins Clark, lives on the 38th floor and was coming home in a cab when she saw the smoke. “Thank goodness I wasn’t at my apartment writing at the time,” she said. She described the building’s residents as a mix of actors, doctors, lawyers and writers, and people with second homes.

Sgt. Claudette Hutchinson, a spokeswoman for the North American Aerospace Defense Command in Colorado Springs, Colo., said fighter jets “are airborne over numerous U.S. cities and while every indication is that this is an accident, we see this as a prudent measure at this time.”

However, all three New York City-area airports continued to operate normally, FAA spokesman Jim Peters said. In Washington, White House spokesman Tony Fratto said neither President Bush nor Vice President Dick Cheney was moved to secure locations.

“All indications are that is an unfortunate accident,” said Yolanda Clark, a spokeswoman for Homeland Security’s Transportation Security Administration. She said there was “no specific or credible intelligence suggesting an imminent threat to the homeland, at this time.”

Memories of Sept. 11
The crash struck fear in a city devastated by the attacks of Sept. 11 five years ago. Sirens echoed across the neighborhood as about 170 firefighters rushed in along with emergency workers and ambulances. Broken glass and debris were strewn around the neighborhood.

“There’s a sense of helplessness,” said Sandy Teller, watching from his apartment a block away. “Cots and gurneys, waiting. It’s a mess.”

The tower was built in the late 1980s and is situated near Sotheby’s auction house. It has 183 apartments, many of which sell for more than $1 million.

Several lower floors are occupied by doctors and administrative offices, as well as guest facilities for family members of patients at the Hospital for Special Surgery, hospital spokeswoman Phyllis Fisher said.

No patients were in the high-rise building and operations at the hospital a block away were not affected, Fisher said.

Damon-less? The start of a bailout?

2005-12-22T20:33:56Z

Will the loss of Johnny D. hurt to the point of the Sox missing the playoffs next year? Will the flood gates open and we'll see Manny leaving next? What do you all think?

2006 Schedule

2005-11-24T02:05:40Z

Howdy All,

For those of you living in the San Francisco Bay Area, I have checked next year’s tentative schedule for the Oakland A’s and it appears that Boston will be playing six games at Oakland this year (three games last year wasn’t nearly enough). The tentative dates are July 24, 25, & 26 and August 28, 29, 30. Mark your calendars.

Better with Beckett and w/o Manny?

2005-11-23T19:37:31Z

If the Sox lose Manny but gain Beckett (and possibly Mike Lowell), is that a net plus, a minus or a push?

Cheer on the Sox at the Connecticut Yankee!

2005-10-05T05:55:44Z

Ok, so the first game was a bust, but it's not over, and there is good place to cheer on the team. The Connecticut Yankee in SF on the corner of Connecticut and 17th is THE place for Boston Red Sox fans.

Despite this first loss I think it would be great if we could get some folks out to the CT Yankee to support our team!

The Fri game starts at 1 here on the west coast, but tomorrows game starts at 4PM, so for those of you who work in the city, there is still time to get over to the pub and cheer on the team.

So, who's with me?
