Wiped Out
Well folks, the truncated game today was rained out, and probably for the best. Albaladejo got some bad breaks with Jeter's error, Duncan's throw to the wrong base to allow Rios to take second, and provided his own subsequent collapse. It's as if all that, plus Duncan's dropped fly ball, plus Nuke LaFarnsworth's continued travails, plus the lack of offense in the brief time, have never happened--at least statistically. Tomorrow, the Yanks take on the Pirates at 1:05 EDT.
Lest I forget, Mike Sommer, as well as Bryan Hoch on the Yankees' website, posted that Graig Nettles has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and is scheduled to have surgery April 8th. Quotes from him sounded optimistic, and apparently his screening caught the cancer in its early stages, so it should be treatable and he should recover well. Keep Nettles in your thoughts and prayers.
I was sorry to hear about Graig Nettles. He is a great guy and I know many fans are thinking of him.

Hi Bill. Welcome to The Heartland, and thanks for the comment. I feel the same way about him, and I'm glad the doctors seemed to catch it early enough.
Come back anytime.

Happy Easter to you and your family. Best of luck tonight, and I am sure you will do great. Will you change your name like most celebs, or keep your given name?
Is anybody else having a problem accessing the Yankees homepage? I know they did an overhaul on the whole website, but I'm not having a problem with anything else.

Thanks, Jimmy! I tried your link, but "error on page" keeps popping up. I can bring up MLB homepage, but none of the team sites are coming up. This dinosaur of a computer gives me all kinds of trouble. Anyway, Happy Easter to you as well Jimmy.

Nice job on the show tonight, Jason. I'm sure Ty, Joe and Co. will have you on again sometime soon if it is fine by you.
Hope you like the show and feel free to listen in even when you're not on.

Many thanks, Mike. I was a little nervous, but nothing seemed too disastrous. I'd love to be on again anytime. They have a really good thing going, and they spark very good debate. I've listened to a few of the archived shows and really enjoy the show.
Thanks again, Mike.

Mike, you're too kind. I even reflected, in my reticent optimism about Ensberg, a coming around to yours and Mike's position on Ensberg, thus tacitly on Gardner. Ensberg's slowing down this Spring has me a bit concerned, though I'm hoping (REALLY hoping) he produces come regular season.

I neglected to post above that I will be sure to tune in regularly to Yankees Fan Club Radio. It's very good stuff.
