September 22, 2007 Got MELKY?? Yanks Struggling Center Fielder Comes up BIG in 10th!!!!! Yankees little center fielder plays HUGE in Yanks most recent dramatic win! Melky Cabrera (#28) came into the night in a horrible slump, 3 for his last 39. He has seen his batting average drop from the .300's to the .280's over the past 2 weeks. His play in center field though remained excellent. Tonight, was Melky's night! Melky would compile 3 hits and drive in 5 runs, including the game winner in the 10th, and his play in center in the top of the 10th on a long double would prove to be even bigger than his base hit. Melky ran down the double by Aaron Hill and fired a strike to Robinson Cano (#24) who relayed yet another strike to Jorge Posada (#20) nailing Toronto's Matt Stairs at the plate. It was the 2nd runner thrown out at the plate by a Yankees outfielder tonight! Abreu did the same earlier in the game. The Yanks used 10 pitcher, 1 day after using 7 in the 14 inning loss. And these teams still have 2 to play! Alex Rodriguez (#13) added 3 RBI's while batting 4-5 with a walk, raising his career high for RBI's to 146. Hideki Matsui (#55) also drove in 3, pushing him over the century mark for the year. Today's game was filled with ups and downs, including 8 lead changes in the 10 innings. The Yanks struck first, as A-Rod scored on Posada's single off the right-field wall in the 2nd. Toronto reached Phil Hughes (#65), who started in the place of Clemens/Kennedy, for 3 runs in the top of the 4th. The Yanks would get 1 back in the 5th and then take the lead in the 6th with a 4 spot. Toronto quickly answered with 5 in the top of the 7th, making it 8-6 Jays. And the Yanks had another answer, a 3 run bottom of the 7th and we were back on top 9-8. Not for long, Toronto would put up 3 more in the top of the 8th, 11-9! Bottom of the 8th and the Yankees would spoil Toronto's night, 2 more runs made it 11-11 and that is where it would stand until the bottom of the 10th and Melky's BIG Hit! Now we fans sit and wait as Detroit and Kansas City go at it and Boston faces Tampa Bay. Matchups below. Tomorrow the Yanks play at the Stadium again at 1:05 against the Jays. Mike Mussina (#35) will take the mound against Dustin McGowan. Mussina has put together consecutive awesome starts, including the Moose Eggs the other night against the O's! Go Yankees! Out of Town Matchups: MLB.com's Scoreboard Link Detroit, Kenny Rogers against Kansas City, Kyle Davies in the Motor City. Currently the Royals lead 5-1 in the bottom of the 3rd. Boston, Dice-K Matsuzaka (incorrect spelling purposeful) against Tampa Bay, Andy Sonnastine in Florida. Currently Boston just scored, 1-0 in the top of the 3rd. I presume TB will just give this one to Boston too. And a personal thanks to A/C Smith for getting the job done in time! ***Update: Detroit has lost to the Royals! 7-4! Boston has just tied up their contest in the top of the 9th in Tampa Bay! 6-6.***

We have had a couple around Yonkers...DMX and the Rough Riders love em! Never had to do an extrication from 1 though...more or less a 3 wheeled motorcycle, like a police scooter, just smaller-lower-and faster!

I saw some footage on St Louis, they also use the quints/squirts in an interesting way. They use it for dumpster fires, just extend it out over the fire and let loose! Wonder if Stamford will use it in this way as well.

It was a good one! Lots of twists, turns, and speed bumps! Crazy! This season they have been following way past the first 48 almost each episode, which is kind of uncharacteristic for the show...

Yanks Hit Bump In The Road! Zaun's 14th Inning Home Run Decides Dramatic Bout! Sox and Tigers Both Win. Well, if you fell asleep you missed what might have been, until the 14th inning rolled around at Yankee Stadium. Roy Halladay was spotless through 8 and Chien Ming Wang (#40) couldn't match him. Wang gave up 2 runs in the 7th, only 1 earned, and Edwar Ramirez allowed 2 more in the top of the 8th, as Halladay quieted the recent hot Yankee bats. And then there was the 9th. Damon lead off with a double, and after Jeter grounded out, Abreu came through with a single. A-Rod was next and he kept it going with a single and an RBI. Now 4-1 with runners on 1st and 3rd, Matsui grounded into a fielder's choice and Abreu came in to make it 4-2. The next hit should've ended the evening, but a bad throw to first that bounced allowed Posada to be safe. 1st and 2nd 2 men out and Cano grounded 1 to rightfield, making it 4-3, Bronson Sardinha who ran for Posada went from 1st to 3rd. Into the batter's box stepped Giambi, he singled to left to tie up the game, and it was on to extra innings! Rivera clamped down Toronto on 8 pitches in the 10th, and Chamberlain threw 2 innings recording 4 more strikeouts, allowing 1 base runner on a walk. And then came the 14th inning, and Brian Bruney. After striking out Adams, Greg Zaun would be the hero for the Jays. Zaun hit a homer just over the right field wall, and that was it. The Yanks failed to tie it up in the bottom half. Like I said before, I did not think an off day would help the Yanks, but it did help their enemies, the Tigers and the Red Sox who had both lost 3 straight! Toronto continued their unlikely roll, as they have just come from sweeping those Red Sox in Canada. The count is now 2.5 games back in the East! Tonight the Yanks look to the most expensive pitcher in history, and one of the greatest, Roger Clemens. His last outing was a gem and we are all crossing our fingers that he can do it again. He will go up against Sean Markum in the 2nd of 4 games at Yankee Stadium against the Jays this weekend. Boston continues to see a safe street to walk down, as they continue their series against the Devil Rays, who don't play nearly as hard against the Sox as they do against the Yanks! Yankee Notes: Ian Kennedy was supposed to start on Saturday, but has been scratched due to stiffness in his right shoulder. He is currently day to day. Clemens takes his place, losing the extra day of rest the Yanks had planned to give him.

I could go for this! Some of the lighting displays I have seen could win an EMMY!

I just learned that Empress EMS is conducting a new test. They are always participating in these things and I think it is great. They are currently running Positive pressure systems (CPAP) to combat APE (acute pulmonary edema)/ CHF. Evidentially, this system can work wonders in the field. As the results are not in, as of yet, I was wondering if any of the Empress medics on this site would share their experiences with the board. Sounds like next gen medicine. Apparently the positive pressure is in lieu of the current available medications, lasix and bumex.

And they would definitely stop container trucks...especially ones with loads spilling out all over our roadways!

He was also a BURGLAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sorry, but that is just plain ridiculous...but I guess, if he had a letter that appeared to be signed by a top official then you can't blame the guys at the Station.

Tonight is an off night for all 3 teams. Detroit and Boston must be happy! The Yanks, I think would rather play, cause they are running HOT! So, I guess, since I am off, I can watch "The First 48", live so to say! See you all on Friday, by the way, if anyone has any extra tickets lying around, I have a lot of sick/vacation/personal days available...and will buy the 1st round!

I think the firefighters were probably crashing the trucks to get the city to go back to RED! LOL They should do a Code 3 of E45 with the Kermie on the front and that quote!!!!! That would be awesome!!!!

I am assuming (which is never good) that the apparatus was "running" (turned on). That would be the reason for the electrical short turning the emergency lights on, correct? Otherwise, if it just "rolled", it does not appear to be a violent decline from the station to the curb, prior to the embankment leading to the lake, so how could it gain so much "speed". Or maybe it was so hot in Florida that day, the apparatus needed to cool off a little!

Still, where on Rte 9 were you...what town or at least County???????

Massachusetts members may want to avoid this Thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A Tale of 3 Cities! New York Shakes Their Booties, while Boston and Detroit Shake Their Heads! More drama than realty TV or any story written by Shakespeare! Yankees fans continue to cheer, while Red Sox and Tigers fans begin to hold their breath. As usual, with the brisk air comes October, and late September baseball, and when you thought it couldn't get any better it smacks you in the face, and it hurts a bit more because of that chill in the air! Red Sox fans are pretty sure they are in, Detroit fans are facing the music, and Yankee fans are loving every moment of it! As Andy Pettitte (#46) notched his 200th career victory in a 2-1 Yankee win at the Stadium, Jonathan Papelbon was off to the clubhouse to sulk. While Pettitte pitched 7 2/3 allowing 1 run on 7 hits facing Brian Bures who was just as good tonight, let alone 1 wild pitch, Papelbon was watching that small white ball sail through the air in Toronto, landing where no one could get to it! Papelbon had given up a Grand Slam to Toronto's Russ Adams. The Red Sox were already losing 2-1 but this homerun would make it official, the Sox have lost 4 straight. In the mean time, Joba Chamberlain (#62) struck out the O's Melvin Mora, fastball-Houdini slider-Houdini slider, on 3 pitches! Mariano Rivera (#42) would close it out in the 9th, of course he couldn't make it easy on our ulcers! Mo, gave up a 1 out double to Nick Markakis, a fly out to left by Kevin Millar and there were 2 down. At the plate stood Aubrey Huff, who worked a walk, on 9 pitches. Next, Ramon Hernandez, who followed suit on 7 piches. Now with the bases loaded, pinch hitter Scott Moore stepped in. Why Moore? I don't think they had anyone else available, 3 pitches later, Rivera earned his 30th save of the season! Earlier in the day, a 3 run 5th inning rally in Cleveland was all that C.C. Sabathia needed to hold off the Tigers, as he became the next 18 game winner this season. Cleveland's sweep of Los Tigres earns them a chance to clinch the Central Division in 2 days, their magic number is 3. As Hideki Matsui (#55) has turned his game around all of a sudden, having an awesome 3 game set with the Orioles, hitting his 2nd homer in 3 days today, The Sox and Tigers have gone the opposite way. Both teams are on a slide but can this stay this way for the next 10 games? That's right, only 10 remain, at least for NY and Detroit, the Sox only have 9 to play which as of now is their magic number! This means that they have to aim to win 9 in a row, the only way to really guarantee the East Division Champions title! None of these 3 teams meet in their remaining schedule (which is posted below-links there to). And after tonight, it pretty much comes down the Yankees-Red Sox, we can all count Detroit and Sheffield's big mouth out!!! On the other side of NY there is concern, the Mets lost again last night, but have just beaten the Nats in Washington. A game that was a must win is decided, now they wait and watch the scoreboard. The Phillies and Cardinals are tied in St. Louis, just as they were last night, when they played 14 innings. The Phillies just won't go away! I am routing for the Mets, because I loved the 2000 Subway Series and want to do it again, and they are my Grandfather's team. So to all the Mets fans out there, I am behind you, even though you are behind the Red Sox!

This is the only other thing on TV, besides the Yanks, that I watch religiously! I already have my Optimum DVR set for the season and usually watch the episode a couple of times. It is probably the best constructed show, but I miss Joe Schillace of Miami...he was the bomb!

I was sitting almost at the base of the foul pole and we were looking for him all night! Wanted my own pics of the squirrel!

Lastly!

Melky and Cano jump at each other after every Yankee win...

The second picture in the last post shows where my co-workers sat! The two girls are YPD dispatchers...they got free tickets that our Communications Lieutenant gave me to go retrieve at the Stadium a couple of weeks ago! I gave mine away and then bought the better seats! I guess you can't pick and choose free! They came down and sat with us in the 8th and 9th innings though!

Pics!
