-One thing we forgot to note about last night’s blown save by Scott Proctor was the idiotic reaction of some fans. If you can actually call them that. The righty has been one of the Yanks’ best setup men out of the bullpen all year. And unlike Kyle Farnsworth, he’s always ready when called upon and been in more games than any other reliever. I forget the exact number but it’s staggering. So he failed. Sometimes, it happens. But to hear some morons murmur “Proctor you suck,” was just pathetic. This guy has been maybe the most valuable reliever outside the legendary Mo Rivera. And that right there are the type of fans who shouldn’t be allowed in the ballpark.

-One other comment on Chien-Ming Wang. Most consistent Yankee starter and deserves to start Game One this October.

-Nice to see A-Rod silence the critics with a three hit two RBI day including his 27th home run which turned out to be needed in the Yanks’ 6-4 win over those slumping Tigers. Oh btw…for that deranged fan upset about no Rivera last night, he closed out the Tigers for his 33rd save despite a mild muscle strain in his right elbow via an MRI. The last thing the Yanks need is no Mo. He says he can pitch through it. So if we’re Joe Torre, we continue to use him only when really needed. Unfortunately, Randy Johnson ran out of gas in the ninth. Otherwise, he would’ve gotten the complete game.

-If you take out Craig Monroe’s clutch three-run homer off Proctor, the Tigers would’ve been swept and only 3.5 up on Chicago and four on Minnesota who dropped two of three to the Royals at home. Maybe that Monroe blast saved their season. We’ll certainly find out.

-I’m not really sure what to think of Boston dealing David Wells back to San Diego. Especially when in recent starts he had been pitching extremely well. Are the Red Sox throwing in the towel? At least they got some encouraging news on star slugger David Ortiz. Big Papi had missed the past few games due to heart palpitations but it looks like he’ll return to their lineup this weekend. They need all the help they can get.

-How come nobody ever talks about the A’s for representing the AL? They’re 21 over without arguably their best pitcher Rich Harden and he actually could be returning soon. Watch out.

-Watching Andre Agassi trade shot for shot with Marcos Baghdatis during this second round U.S. Open night match has been unreal thus far. It’s only the first set and these guys are literally going toe to toe. If the retiring 36 year-old American can pull this off, wow.
