Randolph gets a Monument Park plaque, and in a heartwarming surprise, Mel Stottlemyre got a Monument Park plaque too (he's fighting cancer and is in very rough shape)
They did...it seemed a little sad too because the Yanks do stuff like that if they think the honoree won't get another chance to be there
Next year's Old Timer's Day is dedicated to the 1996 team so I will have to make it down there for that one. Praying that Mel is there next year too because he was a part of 1996
Gardner triple and ARod fielder's choice where the Detroit 3rd baseman's throw home hit Gardner in the helmet. Could have had more but they left runners on 1st and 2nd. They made Simon throw 34 pitches in the 1st which is good
Beltran leads off the 3rd with a big blast over the RF bullpen and it's 4-0. Will happily eat crow because he looked finished in April but is swinging a good bat now
Having exhausted the supply of retreads, they are giving a kid a shot. Danny Burawa is up. Local kid, St. John's, about the biggest Ranger fan in the world (nobody's perfect)
Basically sold a top 100 prospect in baseball to the Braves in exchange for the Braves taking Arroyo and his $10 mil salary. That organization is pathetic.

Simon will throw his 60th pitch after he walks Tex. He's gotten 5 outs
They have a chance to fatten up here on this home stand...
And Didi with an error. Oh, Didi...
