Play of the Game: Nixon to 'Tek

A Close Call

The Bronx Bellhorn

Mark Bellhorn is a New York Yankee

"I think it's a great move for the Yankees. Robinson Cano hasn't played well and sometimes he's been a little distracted. Bellhorn has proven that he can play in the pennant race. Mark was really bothered by the booing he received at Fenway, if you look at his stats in Boston and away from home, he would be third in the AL in OBS and Slg away from Boston. It's a great move by Brian Cashman to pick up Bellhorn." -- 8.30, Peter Gammons, ESPN chat

NESN: Watch Some of Wells' 18-Minute Diatribe

Wells on steroid testing: "I'm all for steroid testing. I've been tested three times. It's obvious that there are guys that are getting away with doing it, and he's not doing anything."

Wells on Bob Watson: "I don't even know why Bob played. It's like he's against the player... As a player, he played hard. I'm sure he was in a lot of altercations. To turn against athletes knowing what we go through during a game, we get squeezed, bad calls... He knows that. I just think Bob's out to get the guys."

On his appeal: "You look at the bright side of it. They had to fly to Kansas City, so they wasted their time. I guess that’s the bright side I can look at. They had to come to me instead of me going there."

Others on Wells: "I think Selig did the right thing by postponing the announcement by one day for the good of the game in the light that it would have been the day's headlines on a day when people who like baseball -- and are not obsessed with steroids -- could bask in the glory of Ryne Sandberg and Wade Boggs. The process by which Palmiero was allowed to appeal is his right under the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Wells essentially came off as a blow-hard and did not know what he was talking about. Someone should give him the telephone number of the Players Association if he has another complaint. All in all, he embarrassed the Boston Red Sox." -- 8.30, Peter Gammons, ESPN.com chat
