That’s totally weak. According to those commercials, Olney is “the game’s best behind the scenes reporter.” He should know BS when he’s being fed it, and since he fancies himself a blogger/opinion writer too, he should have the stones to say so. Thinking of it differently, if A-Rod had gone on the 60 day DL the day after he wrote that, is there any doubt that he wouldn’t have crowed about how he got it right? Posted 07/02 at 12:06 PM

Olney clearly jumped the gun, but it’s also a little premature to pronounce A-Rod the Once and Future Superstar the Yankees contracted for, no? If he ends the season with, say, 35 homers and an average under .280—not an unreasonable scenario—and then has to have the full hip operation that now has Mike Lowell wondering when his hip’s going to stop hurting, OK: Alex is not washed up, but he’s sure a big question mark. I’m no fan of Olney’s, but this is far from his worst. Posted 07/02 at 12:30 PM

Giambi has sore legs. You won’t believe this, but the explanation in the Chron was “he’s had to run a lot.” You know, in tnter-league. Those two hits he got. Is anyyone buying this? He used to DH at NY, and now he’s almost daily at 1B. I guess after 5 years of DH, it’s tough on the old guy. His and Cust’s HR’s were on identical pitches, off-speed from Verlander low and in the middle of the plate. Verlander’s curve and fastball were working great. After the first HR to Cust, I wondered why he’d throw Giambi that pitch? Giambi can’t hit anything at 88 mph or faster, and these change ups both floated in at 84. Posted 07/02 at 02:25 PM

To be fair, Buster said in his chat on Monday, that he never said Rodriguez could be finished. He just REPORTED that someone said Rodriguez could be finished. Way to squirm out of that one….......
