Will Schilling plunk A-Rod tonight?

My gut tells me that he will hit him. But if he does this might be the sort of thing that sparks the Yanks. Remember the Varitek - ARod fight. That supposedly brought the sox together and changed thier season. So Schilling might just want to let a sleeping dog lay.

They really have been so inconsistent. They score 8 runs, they give up 10. They give up 2, they score 1. Lots of injuries and no production from guys like Abreau, Matsui, Cano, Giambi and so on. Also, they are not one of these young teams that play loose and have fun, ala the Mets. Could anyone really see the Yanks shave thier heads? So if Schill beans A-Rod, who knows maybe it could be a rallying cry for a team that has a lot of talent but has struggled so far this year.

what's up with giambi anyway? ny daily news claims he popped on an amphetamine test...but nothing from anyone else. then gammons says it's not so. supposedly a first positive is 'secret', so how would the nydn know anyway? but then giambi says he's been tested frequently--so does that indicate a positive in the past?

He's been apologizing for unknown reasons for months. As far as I am concerned amphetamines are probably the least of his concerns. I saw the article today, but I just dismissed it. He has a bad foot and has looked very old so far this season. There was a report the other day that the Angels wanted him. If they could get a quality pitcher or two back, I think they should do it in a heartbeat. He was another guy that they bought at the top.

They wont get much for Giambi. He is old, slow, cant play the field much, injury prone and has a huge contract. It would be a salary dump, maybe for a B level at best prospect, more likely 2 C level guys

If they couldn't get a decent pitcher and another player like figgins or molina, I would just rather keep Giambi. The money for Stienbrenner doesn't matter. Also with that short porch in right field it doesn't really take much to get it out. He also draws alot of walks.
