Welcome to my world.
Does this mean the Yankees are the new Cubbies?!?!?! No World Series wins for another 100 years?!?!?! Woo-hoo!! I can't wait to see Brian Cashman sacrificing a goat at home plate of Yankee Stadium. The mind boggles! Almost takes the sting out of Papelbon blowing his first save of the season last night.

Forgot to mention this, but did anybody see that Pujols walked on three pitches in the top of the 6th of Monday night's game against the Brewers? Ball three and he trots down to first and nobody said anything. Didn't matter, as the next guy grounded into a double play to end the inning. But I wonder what kind of grief the umpire crew got for that.

I was watching that game and saw when they went through the pitch-by-pitch, but I could've sworn they skipped a pitch when they counted the three balls. I was doing something else at the time, so I wasn't paying real close attention, but I remember wondering what the big deal was at the time. Have you seen any article or mention about it anywhere?

I asked that question over on the beisbol forum yesterday in a kind of tangential thread that is running over there. The crew missed the 3-ball walk, but apparently nothing can be done about it after the next pitch.

The thread over there is about the protest from the Cleveland/Milwaukee game on Monday night. There should have been a run scored on a timing play, but the home plate umpire screwed up the call. Apparently, the crew chief sent one of his crew members in later to actually check the rule book, confirmed that they screwed it up, and then put the run on the board three innings later. The debate is whether they can do that or not. I'll go find a link to that thread and come back and put it on here.

There was a mention of it in an AP report of the game, but because there was no protest and the play was meaningless to the outcome, it was pretty-much a non-story.

The incident was actually during a Cleveland-Baltimore game, and I believe it occurred on Saturday.

Either way, MLB issued a ruling today that the protest would not be upheld.

SportsCenter also played the at bat pitch by pitch and counted the balls and strikes. I believe that he fouled off two pitches and that is probably where the confusion came in. There is no doubt that only three balls were thrown. Funny that not even the pitcher objected!

Meaningless MLB factoid for Chuck.

Braves rookie catcher, Jarrod Saltalamacchia, will make his major league debut tonight against the Phillies.

So what's the big news?

His 14 letter last name is the longest surname in the history of MLB!

By nature Yankees fans are optimists. Given their history what else would you expect?

So, to answer your question: no,

We're optimistic that we won't fall to the level of the Cubs.

We're hoping to pull out of it by the time we reach Red Sox territory (8th circle for you Dante fans out there).

Does anyone know the formula for who plays whom in the interleague games this year?

I know that from 1997 to 2001 it was done by the division (AL East played NL East, AL West vs. NL West, etc.), but now the teams play opponents from various divisions. So does anyone know exactly how the schedule is done?

AL East is playing NL West; AL Central is playing NL Central; AL West is playing NL East.

Red Sox also play Atlanta, as their "traditional rival".

Atlanta Braves formerly the Milwaukee Braves formerly the Boston Braves.........

The Braves and the Cubs are the the only two charter members of the original National League remaining. I'd say that's tradition.
