Inside Man: A Bronx Tale: Bronx Banter's Alex Belth profiles Ray Negron. His life in baseball began in 1973, when Steinbrenner himself caught the teenager spray painting an "NY" logo on the outside of the Stadium and gave him a job as a bat boy. "Negron has done everything from shine the players' shoes and collect their dirty jockstraps, to bring them food from their favorite restaurants and park their cars. He has been an agent, an actor, an advisor, and a liaison; a confidant, a sounding board and a whipping boy to some of the biggest egos in the game. He is whatever he needs to be." [parts two, three, & four]

I don't see anything wrong with Lincecum toking up a little bit of burn. He got cited, may pay a fine and will move on from there. MLB has every right to fine and/or suspend him if they choose to but I find that highly (no pun intended) doubtful.
I don't think they can suspend him on the citation alone. But marijuana is listed as a drug of abuse by MLB. He will now most likely be subjected to testing for it. If he fails that test then they can suspend him.

I'd bet that there are just as many poor and unemployed Yankee FANS as there are fans of any other team. And for these fans, the win was a brief bit of good news.
I took one of my unemployed friends to the game last night. It's more than a brief bit of good news for him. Now we have some fodder when we invade Philly in January for the MLS draft.
How cold was it last night? I saw the game, but there was no sound, and I never got the impression it was cold out.
Low to mid 40s I think. But at times it felt colder than that.

He's done it once in these playoffs, and in that case it was literally just one bad inning (the 1st) and one bad reliever (Hughes).
Actually AJ was on regular rest for that game due to an off day before game 5.

That two base steal by Damon was fun!
I nearly cried I was laughing so hard.
For all the shit the Yankees FO gets (and much of it deservedly so), I have to hand it to them for opening up Yankee Stadium for a couple of the away games this post-season. It was awesome to see several thousand die-hards there last night, many of whom would never have a chance to go to a World Series game.

Isn't Jacksonville at +3?

Plus, I tend to think that an umpire shouldn't use the players' reactions as the basis for a call.
True. I'm not nearly as pissed about it as I was last night. Once I got home and saw the replays I saw that it wasn't an easy call to make. I was glad to see that the umpires had a conference about it instead of just letting it go.

I think Howard got it on the hop, but even in the replay it's hard to tell with total confidence.
Yeah, it's tough to tell on the replay. But I would think that Howard would know if he caught it on a hop or not. So why would he throw to second if he caught it on a fly? All he had to do was step on first.
Edit: what pmf said.

but I also can't see them hurting the huddle.
When I start sending alcohol fueled texts from Yankees games you may wind up reconsidering that statement.

Two towns? Pssh. Our entire state is divided.

I was hoping Honduras would make it in. The fans we met at the viewing party last Saturday were class. One of the few away legs this qualifier where the US team was treated with respect.
Another video of Honduran fans celebrating in the streets.

The Honduran radio call of the second US goal on Wednesday night. As a result of the US tying Costa Rica, Honduras qualified for the World Cup for the first time in 27 years.

Didn't MLB start their HoF with a class of 36? That seemed to work out well for them.

From the looks of that car, Davies and the other passenger are extremely lucky to be alive.
I can't imagine how fast you need to be going to split a vehicle in half like that.
If any other SpoFites happen to be going to the game tomorrow, there's going to be a salute to Davies in the 9th minute. It's sure to be an emotional night.

Press release from USSF. It's also been confirmed that neither Davies or Roberta was the driver.
It's a shame this woman's death will be overshadowed by speculation about what this means for Davis' career, what he was doing out that late on a night the team seems to have had a curfew, etc. (And that's not to piss on any such speculation that ultimately makes it into this thread (this is, after all, a sports site), just a tragedy that someone lost a daughter/sister/etc.)
That's probably true from a media standpoint. This would probably just be local news if Davies wasn't in that car. For what's it's worth though, many of posters on soccer sites I frequent, twitter, etc. make note of Ashley and the other woman involved.

Giants ace Lincecum cited for marijuana possession
Getting caught with a misdemeanor amount of weed shouldn't even be news, and it certainly shouldn't trigger any kind of testing or suspension for Lincecum.
Not saying I agree with it. But I wouldn't be surprised if MLB does test him.
