Beaning Fires Up Yanks, Helps Blasting of Rangers...

One thing you can say about Vincente Padilla is that at least he is consistent. Last night in the Bronx, he beaned Mark Teixiera not once, but twice over the span of three innings. Did he get tossed? Nope. Double standard for say a guy like Burnett? Perhaps. Instead of hurting his team and charging the mound to put an ***-beating on Padilla, Tex instead took out rookie Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus with a clean, hard slide that sparked the Bomber bats and helped them pulverize Padilla and the Rangers 12-3 last night in the New Boogie Down.

I was as angry as anybody when I saw Tex get belted again, and nothing had been done. No warning, no ejections, no nothing. Don't be surprised however if one of the Rangers' big bats gets his just due before this series is over...with last night's big win, the Yankees have taken over the best record in the American League. Anybody wanna guess as to who has the best record overall? That's right. Mr. Torre and his Dodgers...what kind of drama would October have if the Yankees and Dodgers-led by Torre and Donnie Baseball met in the Fall Classic?

Now before I go much further, the one piece of interesting baseball outside of the Bronx tonight might be down the Atlantic coast in Washington, D.C. where former Yankee hurler Randy Johnson goes for win number 300. Okay, so he wasn't to the Yankees what Curt Schilling was to the Red Sox. Johnson did win 34 games and struck out 383 hitters in his two seasons in the Bronx. He was consistent, he was cranky. He was a media nightmare, he was a winner. However much Randy Johnson hated playing in New York, or however much Yankee fans hated seeing the mullet/mustache combo every fifth day for the Bombers, he gave it his all, and at the end of the day, he will be remembered as one of the, if not the greatest lefty handed hurler in the history of baseball. Good luck tonight Mr. Johnson, and thanks for two solid years in the Big Apple!

As always, be good, take care of yourself, and take care of your buddy next to ya!
