  1. Could be the native Clevelander in me -- ok it is the native Clevelander -- but the whole "I regret The Decision" thing hasn't moved me
  2. Girardi on slow response to drunken (my word) fan on field: "That can't happen. People have to get out there. You worry about your guys."
  3. Hey, there's an Irish pub attached to my airport hotel. First a Bob Davidson umpired series and now this. Bliss.
  4. Jeter: "Phil deserves all the credit. He was pretty impressive with why he did. He just came after people."
  5. Have to say Comerica Park security didn't distinguish itself there in tracking down the drunk that ran on field & was out there about 5 mins
  6. Hughes starting the inning at 106 pitches. Again, season high 115 May 6 at KC
  7. Hughes at 98 pitches through seven. Season high 115 pitches
  8. Make that at least one HR allowed in each of Hughes' 11 starts this season
  9. Funniest moment, personally speaking, of this trip: earlier today when @RobParkerESPN gave me an ESPN First Take t-shirt. Very well done
  10. RIP Richard Dawson, responsible -- along with the woman of course -- for this piece of game show history gold bit.ly/15fPem
  11. 26-pitch first inning for Yankees, who get two runs -- one earned -- off Verlander
  12. Jeter came in with good #s against Verlander, 9-for-28. Now 10-for-29. First HR against the righty
  13. Joke running through Yankees clubhouse before game was suggestion K Long taking out the lineup card. Ended up being Girardi. Was not ejected
  14. Game-time temp of 77 degrees & most of the windows closed in Comerica press box. Can only conclude the always-cold @marccarig is responsible
  15. Kevin Long again declined, probably smartly, to comment on Davidson ejection. Said he'll "wait until the umpire's report" to come out
  16. Though umpires a big topic afterward, Yankees were aware 1-for-12 with RISP the main culprit: "We had plenty of chances" to win Girardi said
  17. CC Jerry Layne shed little light, citing MLB policy: "I do not make a comment on anything like that until he [Davidson] makes a full report"
  18. Kevin Long politely declined to comment on ejection: "Joe's comments will stand."
  19. Jose Valverde so far showing less control than Bob Davidson
  20. MLB suspended Davidson earlier this yr "for his repeated violations of the Office of the Commissioner's standards for situation handling."
