I'm still in shock," he continues. "I've been so busy worrying, trying to track everyone down and book gigs up here and find a place to live. It hasn't really sunk in yet that my town is gone, you know? My car is underwater, my house is underwater, along with all my furniture. It's gone. I don't even care about it. I want to go back to live there when I can, for sure, but there have been so many people helping us out here. People donated four vans to the band, and when we're allowed we'll drive back as a caravan and see what's left. "New Orleans will come back," says [Christian Duque]. "But a lot of the bands are so spread out now and no one is playing, and these are the best musicians in the world. In New Orleans there were so many places to play. Every night you could just walk arou...
WASHINGTON Start after start, Orlando Hernandez had been good enough for the Mets to win. Just not good enough to get a win for himself in his last three starts. But Sunday, while El Duque was good again, his teammates finally helped him to a victory. Hernandez had allowed three hits through seven innings with the score knotted when the Mets erupted for four runs in the eighth on their way to an 8-2 win and a three-game sweep over the Nationals.
Getting [Johan Santana] obviously helps them because it drops everybody down one spot in the rotation. But they're still counting on two old guys in [Pedro Martinez] and El Duque. There's a lot of risk with that. John Maine somehow gets it done with all fastballs, but if you're counting on Mike Pelfrey, count me out. [David Wright] is a great player at third, but the shortstop, [Jose Reyes], was not the same guy last year. He was careless and played with no bounce or enthusiasm.
NEW YORK Willie Randolph needs to be held accountable for this Hollywood-sized disaster, thrown right in there with the bullpen and Jose Reyes and all the perpetrators of a shipwreck that makes the Titanic look like El Duque's famous raft. But Randolph doesn't need to be fired. He doesn't deserve to be fired. No matter what happens between Friday night's 7-4 loss to the Marlins and the minute the Mets Hefty-bag it out of Shea, Randolph has earned the right to manage this team in the 2008 opener.
El Duque lives. But the same cannot be said for the Boston Red Sox in 2005. The Chicago White Sox, behind a magical relief appearance by Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez, beat Boston 5-3 Friday night at Fenway Park, clinching their American League division series in a three-game sweep. Hernandez, a Boston nemesis from his days with the New York Yankees, shut down the Red Sox after entering in the sixth inning, with the bases loaded and no outs.
El Duque hurting The Mets say they're not in crisis yet, but there's growing concern about Orlando Hernandez, who has yet to pitch off a mound and seems to be regressing. He ended his work day prematurely on Monday after warming up for a few minutes with a weighted towel. The 40-something right-hander was supposed to throw batting practice but instead told team officials he was feeling discomfort in his right foot. Hernandez will try a bullpen session Wednesday
CHICAGO (AP) - Orlando Hernandez's 17-day layoff showed. He hit four batters and squandered a four-run cushion, but still hung around long enough to get a win. El Duque came off the disabled Friday night and collected his first victory since May 11, as the Chicago White Sox beat the Cleveland Indians, 6-4.
NEW YORK While his teammates worked through their pregame rituals, Orlando Hernandez sat nearly sunken into a deep sofa in the Mets' clubhouse, idly watching golf alone on the wide-screen television. But this is not your average 40-something relaxing. For El Duque, the workday had begun much earlier in the afternoon, before most of his teammates arrived, and would pick up in a few hours when he would take the mound.
[...] they behave like the old AUC blocs, often announcing their arrival with threatening messages, like the e-mail quoted above, as well as flyers and graffiti. [...] the Colombian government's "peace process" was not merely a failure, but pure farce.
... commanders, such as Ivan Roberto Duque Gaviria, alias Ernesto Báez, did not offer any co...
