at Kansas City...8:10 Eastern....I don't know where they have been hiding this rookie Shelley Duncan....if he keeps swinging that bat like he did over the weekend....he won't be going back down to the minors any time soon! ;D

Remember Shane Spenser had a similar start. Is he still in the majors?

. In 2005 he signed with the Central League's Hanshin Tigers in Japan, appearing in 108 games and hitting 9 homers. In 2006, he continued to play for the Tigers, but was fired. This is his last at bat for the Tigers.
Major league teams were reluctant to sign him, despite his major league experience, because of off-field trouble after leaving the Yankees. He cut his foot in a bar in Manhattan, and then, while he was supposed to be on rehab assignment, he was arrested for drunk driving and speeding over 97 mph. He also had problems with Florida police during spring training 2004. He and teammate, Karim Garcia, were accused of hitting and kicking a pizza-delivery man in 2004, though all charges were dropped

Duncan has been in the minors for 6 years. If nothing else, he sure is strong!

His brother is an out fielder for the Cardinals and his father is the pitching coach

I hope they got to see Shelly's games on tv. What a thrill for the father to see his son cheered in Yankee Stadium!

Boston will eventually break. If not, there's still the wild card. Didn't we just pick up a game on Cleveland in the wild-card race?

Get some rest Yankees, so you can be ready for the next game. Job well done this evening.
