The last trivia question asked who Derek Lowe struck out to clinch the 2003 ALDS, and the answer was Terrence Long. Leaderboard is updated. The new trivia question:
Yesterday, for MVN Outsider, I wrote about possible destinations for Manny Ramirez (Philly, Mets, Marlins, Dodgers). In keeping with the Manny theme, he became the fifth guy to hit at least 50 homeruns against the Yankees last year. Who leads the list with 70? HONOR CODE: No search engines. WINNER GETS: To create the new poll question.
Pepsi has launched Old School, New School, where you can use codes on Mountain Dew and AMP products to redeem prizes such as cars, kicks, and gaming systems.

    Actually, Frank Thomas only has 20 career HRs against the Yankees. He’s done the most damage against Minnesota, with 52.

    Yanks get pudge. I wonder what it’d be like to have a GM who tried to improve the team.

    That is unbelievable, Kyle Farnsworth, really??? Is everyone trying to help the Yankees win? That said, Pudge isn’t what he used to be, his defensive skills are eroding and he’s allergic to walks. He still throws well, but so does Molina.

    What’s next? Jake Peavy for a handful of magic beans?
    Cashman must have some pretty compromising photos of other GMs in his files.

    Yeah really, if they’re taking Farnsworth couldn’t we have just offered someone like Hansen, at least he has upside…

    This means we have to trade for a reliever right? Ohman? We could use another lefty with the Yankees looming. Besides Hansen is useless and MDC wets his pants every time he’s counted on. Let’s get someone with a little fight in ‘em.
