Bottom of the 3rd

Up walks Shelly Duncan, one day after he tried to perform some amateur surgery on the Rays' Akinori Iwamura.

All I heard on talk radio yesterday was, "Shelly? What kind of name is that?"

Look, folks, he didn't pick it. It's his name. You want to dispute what he did? Fine. But leave the name alone.

Anyhoo, there must be some Rays' fans in attendance, as Duncan is greeted with a few boos. Then again, he grounds out, and someone yells, "It's all right - you got 'em yesterday!"

Here's something you will never hear again - "No. 18, Johnny Damon, has moved on deck to pinch hit for Billy Crystal." But that's the announcement over the press box PA system following a single by Jose Molina.

Damon grounds out. Maholm isn't perfect anymore, but he went through the Yankee lineup allowing just one hit.

Not bad.

0-0 after three.
