Nick Swisher is Wicked Retahded

In a recent interview New York Yankees outfielder Nick Swisher was asked what was his favorite park to play in. His response: Camden Yards because "it has been there for so long and I think the tradition they have there is amazing." Um Nick, Camden Yards was built in 1992 and there has not been one World Series game played there. You can watch him share his brilliance below (comment at 1.25 minute mark)

Molina Now Injured- Swisher to the Rescue?

Yankee's back up catcher Jose Molina left the game tonight in the 6th inning against TBY with strained quadriceps. Francisco Cervelli (who?) replaced him in the line up. Rumor has it outfielder Nick Swisher may be on tap to man that position as Jorge Posada is on the DL.

The only problem with Swisher going behind the dish is that the Yanks would lose him a a pitcher since nobody else in their bullpen is able to get it done.

Holy Lopsided Score Batman!

The score from New York today: 22-4

No, not football. Yes, baseball. The 2009 New York Yankees have set a new franchise low record by allowing 14, yes that's 1-4, fourteen Cleveland Indians to make a round trip around the diamond in one inning at the brand spanking new Yankee Stadium. Former ace of the Lowlanders, Chien-Ming Wang was chased off to the showers in the 2nd inning after allowing 8 runs. Anthony Claggett (who?) came in and promptly allowed another 6 runs in that inning, and another 2 runs before he got the hook as well. The Indians would not relent until they had scored a total of 22 runs by the end of the game. The Indians belted 6 home runs in the game, including a grand tater by Asdrubal Cabrera. The Yanks should have sent in Nick Swisher instead of Claggett (who?)

Now I'm wondering where the Red Sox can get a few cans of that whoop-ass that Cleveland found.

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming: BOS-5 BAL-0 heading into the 4th.
