Chien-Ming Wang is apparently working on a perfect game going into the top of the 6th.

Interestingly, if he does end up with a perfect game, the only other time the feat had been accomplished on Cinco de Mayo was by a no-name pitcher named Cy Young who happened to pitch for Boston at the time.

He got through the 6th. But still only up 1-0.

I think I heard somebody on Fox say that Pavano was done for the year! :eek: ESPN is reporting only that he's being examined again this week.

The Fox website has no definitive information on Pavano. I read in one of the NY papers this morning that they couldn't even confirm that he showed up for his appointment yesterday. Who cares anyway?

Pavano might be one of the worst signings ever. By any team.

Worse than the 8.25 Million Weaver's getting???:mad: I don't think so...

Was that the stat on Espn or did they note that when France hit a homerun, that it was the oldest pitcher/hitter pair for a homerun in MLB history? Of course, both may be true.

Five and Fly: Franco's power is old news

Julio Franco – 48 years, eight months, 12 days old – homered Friday night off Randy Johnson – 43 years, seven months, 25 days old. That's more than 92 years of ballplayer right there and, unfortunately for Johnson, the fastball Franco hit sort of looked it, considering its left turn signal was on for three miles.
Franco, of course, is the oldest player to hit a home run in the major leagues, a union of gerontology and baseball that began last April 20 and has extended through two more homers, the latest at Chase Field in Phoenix. And now Johnson has a part, the two combining for the oldest home run in history, thrown-and-hit category.

On SportsCenter, they said the Johnson/Franco pairing was the oldest in regular-season history. Maybe there was a pairing of older players in an old World Series, and this is the oldest pairing to result in a home run.

The Rocket back to the Yankees?

Yup, announced it himself during the seventh inning stretch at the Yankees game.

He's a dickhead, but he's <b>our</b> dickhead.

So is Steinbrenner moving Yankee Stadium down to Houston, or is the rocket just going to pitch during Yanks-Rangers series?

28 mil pro-rated. 18 mil to pitch 4 months iow. Who knows what else they'll give him?

It pays to have a good pharmacist.....;)

Almost makes me wish I had passed on med school and gone to pharmacy school instead.



Almost.

As a doctor, you'll get free samples for your friends.

Can things get worse for that pitching staff ?

Never tempt the gods of baseball.
