1.Chamberlain在二A的進場曲為"Indian Outlaw"，他可能會希望用同樣一首歌
當作他在洋基球場出場時的出場曲

2.Posada昨天原來是在打線中，但當首席防護員告訴托瑞，Posada在行動上可能有些
"限制"而被拉出先發陣容，Posada打算說服托瑞讓他先發，但是托瑞認為這是比較
安全的事，不過Posada有參加打擊練習..他說大概是在多倫多的飯店枕頭導致他的
脖子落枕

3.昨天被驅逐出場的投手教練說他另外一次驅逐出場是在球員時代，為了安撫
Don Mattingly,Don對主審的好球帶感到沮喪，他正在開導他，不過主審聽到聲音，
要Don安靜，Ron說是他在說話，然後他就被趕出去了，
那個趕他出場的主壘就是 昨天的那位 Tim McClelland (兩次被趕出場都是被
同一位裁判趕)

4. Wilson Betemit正在練二壘，大概會在對金鶯左投Erik Bedard時上場, Cano
目前連續先發29場...

5.今天賽前將會送A-Rod禮物，恭喜他完成500轟，Jim Brower今天大概會回隊上，
之前因為第一個小孩誕生而離隊

6. Colter Bean將回三A報到，之前被DFA

7. 對老虎的可能投手輪值：Mike Mussina, Andy Pettitte, Roger Clemens,
Chien-Ming Wang

以上僅是大略翻一下，若有錯請指正...

No offense taken by Chamberlain
Monday, August 13, 2007
BY ED PRICE
Star-Ledger Staff
CLEVELAND --

When Joba Chamberlain took the mound for his starts in Double A, he chose
the Tim McGraw hit "Indian Outlaw" as the song played over the public-address
system. And he might ask for the same tune as his entrance song at Yankee
Stadium.

So Chamberlain is certainly proud of his Native American heritage. But when
he pitched Friday at Jacobs Field, he wasn't offended by the opposing team's
nickname -- the Cleveland Indians -- or their "Chief Wahoo" logo. Or at least
he wouldn't address it.

"It's part of the game, and it'll always be something that's brought up in
every sport and every venue," said Chamberlain, a member of the Winnebago
tribe. "I just don't think about it."

Cleveland's AL franchise was originally known as the Blues and Broncos before
becoming the Naps in 1903 in honor of star Nap Lajoie. In 1915, the team
became the Indians, a nod to 19th-century star Louis Sockalexis, a
Native American.

"Don't read more into it than there really is," Chamberlain said of any
controversy over team nicknames such as Indians, Braves or Redskins.

"It's one of them subjects that you don't necessarily avoid it, but you
don't tackle it head-on."

Jorge Posada was in the original lineup posted yesterday, but when trainer
Gene Monahan told manager Joe Torre that Posada "has some restrictions"
because of his sore neck, Posada was scratched and Jose Molina got his
third straight start at catcher.

"I'd just as soon do this," Torre said, "and it's probably the safest thing
to do."

Posada said he tried to talk his way into staying in the lineup, but "they
wouldn't let me."

He attributes his stiffness to pillows in the team's Toronto hotel and then
a couple of foul balls off his mask.

Posada took batting practice yesterday for the first time in the series and
said it went "all right, not bad."

Torre was asked to name his third-string catcher.

"I have a feeling, that if I asked for volunteers, you may hear (Shelley)
Duncan's name pop up," Torre said. "He may do it without equipment."

Ron Guidry, ejected yesterday by umpire Tim McClelland, said his only other
ejection came as a player in 1985.

According to Guidry, he wasn't pitching and got himself tossed to protect
Don Mattingly, who was upset about a called third strike.

"I was walking with Donnie trying to cool Donnie down," Guidry said, "
and (the umpire) came over and he told Donnie to be quiet.

"I said, 'I'm the one that said that. You're (terrible).' He said, 'You're
gone.'"

The umpire in that story? Tim McClelland.

Wilson Betemit has been taking extra practice at second base, because he
might get the start there Wednesday against Baltimore lefty Erik Bedard.
Betemit has made 11 career starts at second, one this year with the Los
Angeles Dodgers.

Robinson Cano has started 29 straight games and 79 of 80.

Before tonight's game, the Yankees will present Alex Rodriguez with a
gift commemorating his 500th career home run. ... Reliever Jim Brower,
who went home Saturday after his wife delivered a baby, is expected to
rejoin the team today....

Colter Bean, designated for assignment Aug. 2, has accepted his assignment
to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. ... Projected matchups for next weekend's
series against the Detroit Tigers: Mike Mussina vs. Justin Verlander,
Andy Pettitte vs. Nate Robertson, Roger Clemens vs. Chad Durbin,
Chien-Ming Wang vs. Jeremy Bonderman.
