Interesting tidbits from pregrame interviews of Fox and Piniella
Piniella – impressed with Fuld but still thinks Soriano can carry to offense if he hits. Looking forward to getting Reed and Aram back, but no word of how gets sent.
Fox – As usual said all the right things about “still working on his swing”, the bad season so far is good for th team because it builds character, we’re having fun now because winning’s fun.. but the most interesting:
He said that Dempster is the team leader and his speech really fired up the team yesterday – and kept them all really loose througout the game. I think Dempster’s daughter returning from the hospital may end up being very important to this team.

I heard part of Fox's interview
he uses a 33" bat that weighs 34 ounces! They call it the BAM BAM club. I think we have a nickname! BAM BAM indeed!

How about the outside corner?
Typically, when an ump lines up over the inside corner, there’s a bit of leeway on outside calls.

We need long at bats there – working the pitcher.. Not routine GO’s. If Soriano insists on hitting leadoff, he has to take that approach to the plate. And Lou should held him to that.
