This is the first time in the past 2 years I have seen Derek drive the ball to left field. Not just in todays game but since he's been back from the DL.

In my opinion, Lopez was handed a winning lottery ticket and cashed it on for 2 cents on the dollar. Season tickets for half the season? That's costing the Yankees no money. He could have sold the ball for 500k++ and bought season tickets for the rest of his life.

It was a classy move but once this season ends, he's going to regret it.


Hats off to Girardi too for finally realizing AJ in his third time through the order is not very good.

Exactly. My love for sports is about living in the moment, it's not a monetary passion. Ask that a-hole Todd McFarline who has Bonds, Sosa, and McGuire home run balls and can't get back what he paid for.

CC has been an absolute beast of late..

As for the fan, it was nice of him to do, but I would not have blamed him one bit had he wanted to put that ball on the open market and change his life financially for the better..

I was hoping to catch the final two-three innings of the game when I got home. :lol: I ended up watching the last pitch, which was a 98 mph heater from CC. I hate missing pitchers' duels.
