not got melky :-(

melky cabrera homers vs the blue jays
the yankees have sent my melky to the minors. noooooooooooooooooo!

the associated press reports:

"A starting outfielder with the Yankees for most of the past three seasons, the 24-year-old Cabrera got off to strong start this year but has struggled at the plate since May. He was batting .242 with eight homers, 36 RBIs and a paltry .296 on-base percentage. His playing time had decreased lately. “We just felt that it was time for him to go work on some things. You can’t forget how young Melky is,” Girardi said. “We believe that he’s a much better player than a .240 hitter.”"

happy snaps

and again, from the other side

qpr were not, as generally expected, decimated by the top team in the division yesterday. instead they drew 1-1 with watford, our goal being scored by the much maligned stefan moore. we are, however, the only team in the league without a win. :-(

got melky?

dj singles to bring in melky for the winning run in the bottom of the 9th against the orioles
yahoo doesn't have a pic of melky crossing the plate, just jeter hitting the single. that's ok because i was watching in a japanese restaurant in great neck. we were just walking past the tv set on our way out when i said that i had to watch this one at-bat and it was a winning one. again, the joy of a moment such as this is indescribable. so i will not try! suffice it to say that those who know, know.
