- It looks like only one player hasn't agreed to have their head shaved in the shave-fest for the Mets. Almost everyone in the Mets clubhouse is in on the head shaving. Even Mets GM Omar Minaya got into the act. While Aaron Sele won't be shaving his head until tomorrow (he's taking family photos today), Jose Reyes is undecided on the fate of his hair. At least Willie Randolph is a little forgiving on Reyes' desire to keep his hair, "He doesn’t have a regular ’do, he’s got a little style to it. It’s more of a decision to make." Who's doing all the clipping for the team? Centerfielder Carlos Beltran. Bald heads - perfect for playing baseball in the summer.
- If you're going to run onto the field at Yankee Stadium, don't expect Hideki Matsui to give you a high five. Last night in the 9th inning, two fans ran onto the field at the stadium. One fan ran towards the Yankee leftfielder with his hand up, apparently looking for a high five. Matsui just nudged him aside and the fan was later tackled and arrested. The other fan was arrested near home plate. Both were charged with disorderly conduct, interfering with a sporting event and criminal trespass.
Quick Hits: Only One Remains; No High Five
Yankees Sweep the A's
Tino Martinez continued his incredible pace of late, hitting two home runs to tie him with teammate, Alex Rodriguez, for the league lead at twelve. Since making two critical errors in the tenth inning of a game on May 6th, Tino has unstoppable at the plate, hitting eight home runs with 19 RBI”s over eight games. Nobody expected a revival of this magnitude when he retuned to the Yankees, but with Jason Giambi’s continued struggles, it is a welcome addition to the team.
Yankees Streak at Six
Tino Martinez did not homer in the game, snapping his streak at five straight games. It had been the longest streak by a Yankee since Don Mattingly tied the MLB record by homering in eight straight games in 1987. Jason Giambi was given a surprising start at DH and managed to a single in the ninth inning. Giambi, who refused a demotion to the minors earlier in the week, also struck out twice and is hitting .198. Joe Torre seems inclined to stick with him, even with Bernie Williams on the bench and Ruben Sierra on the way.
Boomer to Sox, Brawls to Ensue?
Wells has always been a fan favorite at Yankee Stadium, but with his antics, he could be a perfect target for the bleacher creatures. Pitching perfect games drunk, wearing Babe Ruth's hat during a game and asking for his number, getting in fights, being so round that his uniform is hardly buttoned.
