Mitre Gets First Win, Bucky Gets Paid

The Good

The Yankees won their fifth game in a row, handing replacement part Sergio Mitre his first win as a Yankee. They have now taken the series from Baltimore and are in position to sweep them. Also, Mitre woke up with a hangover this morning.

The Bad

With the win, Mitre has proven he belongs, it's only a matter of time before he is the centerpiece of a Roy Halladay deal.

The Ugly

Bucky received his first paycheck from RJG yesterday. We all thought it would be a joyous occasion, but Bucky flipped when he opened the envelope. "A check?" he screamed. "I'm a bear, what the #*&% am I supposed to do with this?! I don't have a bank account! You think I can just walk into a bank and ask for a deposit?! The teller just screams! They scream at me, like I'm some freak! Pay me in salmon you dumb son of a #%&*@!" Bucky later apologized for his outburst. We're just glad Selena wasn't around. She doesn't tolerate that sort of behavior; it would've been ugly.

People Who Appreciate a Check

Cano decided to contribute to Johnny Damon's heralded charity yesterday, belting a 6 run homer for all the Yankee runs. It was quite a feat.

Jorge Posada 11hr = $11.00
Hideki Matsui 15hr = $15.00
Derek Jeter 10hr = $10.00
Mark Teixeira 23hr = $23.00
Nick Swisher 14hr = $14.00
Robinson Cano 14hr = $14.00
Johnny Damon 16hr = $16.00
Melky Cabrera 8hr = $8.00
Jose Molina 1hr = $1.00
Alex Rodriguez 19hr = $19.00
Brett Gardner 3hr = $3.00
Francisco Cervelli 1hr = $1.00
Eric Hinske 4hr = $4.00
Total = $139.00

  3. i like salmon. and selena knows. she said she heard from bronny that you guys had a bear. and that well he got quiet upset over things. mitre is looking like a solid fifth starter. personally i thought girardi left him in too long but thats ok.

  4. Forget salmon.
    Just give Bucky a ton of bamboo and tell him Selena loves panda.

  5. Girardi has a history of leaving pitchers in too long, but as long as they win he gets a pass.

    Raven, if only it were a panda that wandered into our office. We would be getting so much money since they're endangered. But no, we're stuck with the ever so common brown bear.
