today i woke up sucking on lemons

i hate when the yankees go out to the west coast because the games start so late. having the west coast games be on the weekend makes them slightly more acceptable except for when i am sick and should be sleeping not staying up watching the games. though last night i was starting to feel much better and today feel almost normal i still suffer a bit of pain in my stomach trying to figure out exactly what doug mientkiewicz is doing in a yankees uniform. the guy single handedly cost them the game last night. in the 8th inning with bases loaded he hit such a puny pop up that it would have been subject to the infield fly rule, only it didn’t get up high enough in the air so it dropped between the second baseman, the shortstop, and the pitcher – confusing all of the yankee runners and getting a-rod thrown out at the plate. in the eleventh inning (with the game tied at four) the athletics had runners on first and third with one out. torre made the right decision to walk nick swisher (oakland’s only real offensive threat) to load the bases for bobby kielty (a player so wimpy that in a fight i would have to give up odds) hoping to get a good double play ball, and he did. kielty hit a ground ball right at mientkiewicz who instead of stepping on first, or even throwing the ball home to save the game, bobbled the ball and made a limp wristed throw suggesting that he was auditioning for the gay olympics. anyone want to chip in and get this asshole some flying lessons?
