Yep.

Just to contemplate four thousand hits is amazing.

That's twenty consecutive years of two hundred hit seasons.

It's mind-boggling.

Hamilton is the closest thing to the natural.  It's a shame that his substance abuse has/will likely get in the way.

Bryce harper's book hits shelves on the 22nd . :-\

hope for his sake he lives up to his potential,,cue andrew jones 19/20 1996 world series blasts 2 homers game 1 and goes on to have nice career and still only 35/36 and great numbers could have hit 500 or more if he stayed healthy.

The Yankees have no options at this point but to wait it out, and hope that ARod, Teixeira, Cano, and Granderson all normalize to there respective levels.  Getting Robertson and Gardner back will also help.

Then, they should hope Philly struggles, and looks to trade Cole Hamels instead of re-signing him.   Yanks have enough of a farm to land him.

CF on my softball teams works at his company.   They moved to RI when the state gave his studio a huge tax break.  Schilling has breakfast once a month with a random set of employees just to ask how things are going, which is really cool.


I wonder if he still gets a paycheck  :-\

(Reuters) - The troubled video gaming company run by former Red Sox baseball great Curt Schilling seemed on the verge of collapse on Thursday and had laid off its entire staff, according to several gaming industry websites and other media.

The apparent firings by 38 Studios came days after the company, based in Providence, Rhode Island, barely made a debt repayment to the state, weeks after the money was due.

The Verge.com said 38 Studios had closed its Rhode Island office and its Maryland-based subsidiary, Big Huge Games.

WPRI, a Providence television station, said 38 Studios told its employees that they were laid off effective immediately, as the company experienced "an economic downturn."

38 Studios, formed in 2006 as the brainchild of avid gamer Schilling, had 379 full-time employees as of March 15.

The company received a $75 million taxpayer-backed loan guarantee from Rhode Island in 2010 as an incentive to move its headquarters from Massachusetts. It has received almost $50 million of those funds, according to the state.

Last week, when the company struggled to make a $1.1 million payment, it failed to meet payroll. Two top executives, including Chief Executive Officer Jen MacLean, quit this week and removed 38 Studios from their LinkedIn profiles, according to the Boston Globe.

Rhode Island Governor Lincoln Chafee, who opposed the 38 Studios deal when he ran for office in 2010, and other state officials have had a serious of emergency meetings with Schilling over the past week.

During that time other video game companies have held job fairs in Providence to attract some of the company's embattled - and now available - workers.

Schilling, a New England sports hero who helped bring a World Series back to Boston in 2004 and has also been a prominent backer of conservative politicians, has avoided talking to the media in recent weeks.

On Tuesday, Schilling said on Facebook that his team "has shown breathtaking resilience through these incredibly challenging times."

yanks are rolling 5 in a row and hitting and pitching on almost all cylinders without gardner,,,they can score on anyone right now and pull out wins 1 run or few down with one swing.they seem to get along and have good mix veterans and younger guys there.bench is nice with jones,chavez,ibanez contributing daily.

Serious distance, but 34' short of the taters our flinstones1 can hit.
