I just put the game on as the rangers took the field in the 9th. It would have been nice to see Arod put it in the seats there but fucking awesome! These are the types of wins that jump start long winning streaks.

[Kid Brock]

That was a fun game to watch on the ole Direct TV baseball package last night. 14-13 is like a slow pitch softball game. Not great if you like pitching I guess, but damn fun to watch none the less.

[Perch1019]

I just bought the book "Birth of a Dynasty" by Joel Sherman. For any big yankee fans, i suggest picking it up. ITs all about how the 96 team came to be and gives the stories on all the key guys. Im only on the 4th chapter but so far im really enjoying it. Since I was only 14 at the time, i didnt know alot of the back stuff that was going on and its cool to hear about it. Its wild to read that noone in the orginaization wanted or felt comfy with Jeter as the SS but through some breaks, it ended up that way.

[askewcore]

Didnt Tony Fernandez start the season at short that year and when he went down they brought up Jeet? Or was that 95?

[joefrombklyn]

what a fucken GAME!
now onto a darker note.. wtf was that all about with russ springer taking target practice @ bonds?
lol classic even after the warning!!

I didnt hear it on O&A, but I assume its coming cause Op just teased it. The ball the pitcher got warned for was behind Bonds. Bonds stands right on top of the fucking plate and the pitcher was just trying to control the inside corner. I applaud him for trying to back that faggott off the plate, its not like his arm isnt covered in a fucking half a suit of armor. No one wants to give up 714 to that cheating cocksucker.

[joefrombklyn]

askewcore im with ya brother but it wasnt just 2 pitches it was like 5 pitches intentionally at him.. u have to see the clip on espn and yes are showing it..
not sure if it was consecutively or spaced out at 2 at bats but it was clearly im aiming for u and bonds face was just priceless, he didnt lose cool or anything he just looked at russ with a confused puzzled look that was fucken priceless..but i agree about that crowding the plate, i hate that shit.. ortiz does the same shit!

[joefrombklyn]

btw whats the story ? if u know it about what happened to mooses back before he was on the yankees when he intentionally hit someone and ..it back fired at him and now he wont retaliate at anyone..??

[askewcore]

askewcore im with ya brother but it wasnt just 2 pitches it was like 5 pitches intentionally at him.. u have to see the clip on espn and yes are showing it..


I saw on Baseball tonight last night. Not all of them were at Bonds. After the one he threw behind him, I think he threw three more on the corner, that didnt look like they were supposed to hit him as much as they just were intended to tie his hand up. Then he plunked him on purpose. Maybe I'm just biased though.

btw whats the story ? if u know it about what happened to mooses back before he was on the yankees when he intentionally hit someone and ..it back fired at him and now he wont retaliate at anyone..??

I had heard something about this, but I dont know the details. I THINK he might have hurt himself trying to throw the ball too hard to hit someone, but I'm not sure at all. I wouldnt be surprised if he was throwing at Tino. It seemed like Tino was always getting hit by the O's. Especially that cunt Benitez.

[Perch1019]

Tony got hurt in the pre-season and thats when they realized they had no other chioce but to start Jeets.

rustytrombone1's favorite player is hurt again...

Pavano re-injured during rehab start (http://newyork.yankees.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article.jsp?ymd=20060517&content_id=1459008&vkey=news_nyy&fext=.jsp&c_id=nyy)

NEW YORK -- Carl Pavano's comeback to the Yankees may be put on hold.

Pavano, making his third rehab start on Wednesday, the second for Double-A Trenton, left the game after just one inning with tightness in his right triceps area.

The right-hander will be evaluated by Yankees team physician Dr. Stuart Hershon at Yankee Stadium on Thursday.

This marks the second consecutive start in which Pavano has left early. Last Friday, he was removed after 63 pitches, despite being scheduled to throw 85-90. He cited soreness in his bicep, but likened it to what pitchers generally go through during Spring Training.

Pavano did not allow a hit, striking out one batter in his one inning on Wednesday, but he did not return for the second inning. He had been scheduled to throw 80-90 pitches.

Pavano did not speak with the media after leaving the game, but Rich Monteleone, the team's special pitching instructor, told reporters that this soreness was worse than what Pavano had experienced last Friday.

The Yankees had hoped that Pavano would make one more start after Wednesday's outing, then be ready to rejoin the team. He has not pitched for the Yankees since June 28, missing the entire second half of the 2005 season with rotator cuff tendinitis.

Another good strong outing from Wang, we need all the inning we can get from out starters, and it seems like he's the only guy who can go a decent distance.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

Pavano is a fuck...how much money has he fleeced the Yankees for? He has pitched about as well as and as many times as that fat toad Hideki Irabu did

[askewcore]

fuck, looks like bubba just pulled a hammy.

say hello to kevin reese....

really? thats not a bad signing at all. Especially if Bubba is out for an extended period of time. He can play all three outfield positions pretty well, got decent speed and is a okay hitter.

Not only that but he actually has the balls to bitch about Posada.

Not confirmed yet but it looks like Posada pulled himself out in the bottom of the second.

Fuck Johnson, overpaid, over the hill shitbag he is...

[rustytrombone1]

Fuck Johnson, overpaid, over the hill shitbag he is...

It certainly look like either Johnson bitched to Torre about something (speculation) or something happened and Posada said "fuck this". Fucking premadonna!!!

How is that tolerated? Here's the line up....that's the way it is. Yes, Johnson is a HOF pitcher....but, IMHO, he has not earned shit while with the Yankees to dictate a fucking thing about a line up or who his catcher is. It sets a bad precedent.

[Abysmul]

I FUCKING HATE RANDY JOHNSON!!!!

4 runs in the top of the first....promptly gives up a 3 run home run. Retire already fuckface!!!!
i was just coming here to say that.....i rue the day the yanks ever picked him up

[rustytrombone1]

Okay...the "official" (wink, wink) reason for Posada leaving....tightness in his back.....

Is it possible that the tightness in his back is directly related to his muscles contracting as he has his clenched fist raised, ready to punch Johnson in his vagina?

[Jimmy's Dignity]

when can we buy out Johnson's contract? Preferably at something cheap...at like 60 cents on the dollar or something like that.

Not surprised at Johnson giving up 3 in the first, he needs to choke on a big black cock and just die already.

surprising stat of the night....Yanks lead the AL in sacrifice bunts.

ps> Sheff is eligeable to come back Sunday but won't be doing so. Torre wants to get him a couple of rehab games. Johnson looks fucking ridiculous at the plate

anyone else wish the Mets pitcher would just drill Johnson in the throat and kill him in the batters box? HOLY SHIT!!!

goddamn those Mets batting helmets are ugly

fucking Kay...."Joe Torre has some questions about his ace, and how he's not pitching like an ace."
Kaat: "Most people are saying that Mussina is the ace and Chien Ming Wang is 2nd..."

gee...there's a surprise, Big Useless gives up another home run to a no-name guy. 5 ER in 2 2/3 IP...surprise = 0

[Cybouncer]

He just lost the lead.

Fucking Posada's back is fine. It's no mystery that these two never got along. It's just an excuse for Big bird.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

Kay: For Jeremy Gonzalez, if you gave up 4 runs in the first inning and your opposing pitcher is Randy Johnson, you figure it'd be a bad night. But here it is 5-5 and a whle new game

HEY FUCKO!! THIS ISN'T 2001 RANDY JOHNSON!! I hope Al Leiter lights your fucking tie on fire and tosses you out of the booth

[Cybouncer]

Holy shit.

How do they blow a pick off?

Heres the short: Pavano & Sturtz most likely out for season. Bubbas on the 15 day DL, Farnsworth, Bernie and Jorge are all sore but should be day to day. Chacon missing sundays start.

I can not wait until randy johnson is added to this list.

[Abysmul]

I would love to rip randy johnsons cock off of his body and shove it deep inside pavano's ass (no homo). god how i hate them both......

and a big special FU goes out to Pavano, what, is this douchebag made of fucking glass?!?

and i'm glad that sturtze is out, he's been stinking up the joint...and does anyone else think this should be Mo's last year?

[askewcore]

and does anyone else think this should be Mo's last year?

Why? Because he gave up a basehit? Who would we get to replace him? Thats a fucking terrible idea.

[joefrombklyn]

WELL I HAVETO YELL FOR THIS ONE.. I AM PISSED!
fucken fox is so biased against the yanks when they were showing this week in baseball they had a montage of the best plays this week and not one was a yankee not posadas walk off or jeters catch or bubba's robbing a homer last week!!
fucken disgusting and now to boot these cuntfucks joe buck and tim mccarver

You do realize that your players skills had nothing to do with those 4 runs right? That was a total breakdown by Wagner. He should be the winning pitcher if the Yanks hold off and win this game.

If the Yankees win another division title, it'll be because the Red Sox implode and Randy Johnson finally remembers that he's Randy Johnson.

How can you possibly think the Red Sox have a better team?? no way, I'm not saying the Yankees are in championship form, but the Red Sox are not even in playoff shape..

Yes, Johnson has stunk big time lately, but he was pretty dominant in the beginning of the year.. I don't think you just lose it over night. When you have a 42 year old pitcher, you have to expect some down time. As long as it doesn't happen Sept-Oct, I really don't care how he pitches in May.

That's what I'm saying. Johnson will eventually remember how to be "The Man," and the Yankees will be fine.
I do think the Sox have a better team though. They've got better pitching, better defense, and let's not forget about Mr. Ortiz. All that said, they will blow it in the end, and the Yankees will win the division.

are u on qualudes sir?
yes wagner broke down, but u dont think he was shook up by the yankee line up or maybe the yankee line up is very good when it comes to base on balls(walks) and according to u that has nothing to do with the skills of the players.. being patient at the plate and taking pitches isnt skillz?
come on dude yes it wasnt a pretty game but some younger players may have been rattled by wagner and swung at bad pitchs.. so please dont cushion the loss and mental and physical break down by that cocky wagner!!:action-sm

Not in Playoff shape? You're kidding right? I don't even need to remind you what they have done to the Yanks so far this season do I? The Red Sox are a VERY competitive team this season. Stop being a Yankee fan for just a second and try being a Baseball fan.



Today's game was a friggin joke. Wagner blew it but you have to give credit where credit is due. The Yanks are, I think, one of the best extra innings teams in baseball. Rivera looked like Rivera of old, the defense tightened up, and they got the hits when it was important.

Moose didn't look that bad, they just didn't give him any run support.

Any of you Yankee fans getting sick of Johnny Damon yet? How about Arod not coming through in the crunch, again...

I love Damon, and ARod's leading the AL in go-ahead RBI.


Also, the Red Sox have been playing well because of players playing WELL over their heads while the yankees play hurt/underachieve.

Schilling's correction is currently taking place, returning back to the mediocre pitcher he is.

[omgzpizzowned]

Oh, and if the Yankees were given the game today(which they weren't, a 21 year old working an 11 pitch AB against a premiere closer is what won this game), then what was last night? Torre stupidly having Maz play the OF in even though though two of the three had no chance of throwing LoDuca out on a basehit so a fly out that Damon still almost caught ends up winning them the game.

You LOVE Damon? How many times was the ball hit over his head in the last 2 nights? It has always been known that he plays extra shallow to compensate for his weak arm. As far as AROD goes, how many errors has he made so far this season?

MVP? I think not...



Also, the Red Sox have been playing well because of players playing WELL over their heads while the yankees play hurt/underachieve.


Who exactly has been playing "Over their heads"? Look at the roster. A lot of great players on that team. Saying they are not a very good team is like saying the Yankees are not a very good team. Simply is not true.



Schilling's correction is currently taking place, returning back to the mediocre pitcher he is.

I don't think it's a correction as much as it is showing his age. Just like the Big Disappointment, he shouldn't be the ACE in the rotation. But unlike the Yankees, he isn't the ACE. He is the #2 which is a spot he fits nicely in.

Look, I'm not trying to turn this into a pissing match, "MY TEAM'S BETTER THAN YOURS". They are both very good teams and they both deserve the respect. I laugh at the Yankees because of the astronomical salaries and lack of production.

The fact is I don't see either team winning the Series this year.

[omgzpizzowned]

lol@red sox fans talking about money.

and who's playing over their heads? lowell, pena, youkilis, papelbon

[7cent]

For the lineup I give them 2 great players... for pitchers, really none scare me..except for wakefield, I really hate the knuckleballer.. and I'll throw in Timlin for the bullpen.

[Cybouncer]

Lowell I'll give you.

Youk has been getting better and better every game he has played. Last season he was behind the Cowboy so he didn't really get a chance to shine. He was a 2 time All American in College so he obviously has great talent. Example #1 of home grown tallent.

Pena usually hits the mid to high .200 range. Currently he is hitting .309. He is young. If you look at his stats, every year he gets better. The Sox traded away from Arroyo for him, so far, it looks like it's paying off for them. He is not playing above his level though, in fact, I think he is going to get even better as time goes on.

As far as Papelbon goes, he is another young gun that was brought up through the farm system. He has been on EVERY team's radar last year as he worked his way up through the Red Sox farm system, starting with the Portland Sea Dogs. Example #2 of Home Grown talent.

As far as the Money issue goes. I can laugh for 2 reasons. The Yankees spent close to $100 Million more than the Sox and atleast the Sox are playing good ball right now. BTW, they beat Philladelphia tonight 8-4.

Again, Stop with the Yanks Vs the Sox thing. You are playing the Mets this week, worry about them...

Thats funny. Wakefield is off to his worst start since 1993. I think that'll change now that he has his "Binkey" back, (Mirabelli).

Beckett doesn't scare you? He's 6-1 this season and did a good job at shutting down the Yanks last week. Tonight he even hit a Homerun in Philly.

Papelbon is the real deal. He is carrying a .40 ERA this season with only 1 loss. No Blown saves.

The Sox Bullpen is pretty tight this season.

One good thing for Yankee fans is that the Yanks traditionally play like shit early in the season. People can talk all they want but nothing even starts to matter until after the All Star break. This is when they start playing better, when it matters.

Chacon, and Wang have been pitching great..Chacon, had one rough outing because of a bruise..I have also been very pleased with Wright..He's been hitting 95 and throwing really well..I suspect Johnson will be dominant again..I don't think any Yankee fan expected anything from Pavano, so that's not a loss.

If you wanna make excuses, dont forget, you just lost the Damon, Jeter, A-Rod, Giambi and the Yankees bench/Columbus Clippers. Your bigtime "shut-down closer" choked on his balls and blew a four run lead. Go cry about it elsewhere. Mets fans will buy into that horseshit. Go AAAAndy Phillips!

Very True.

I kinda gotta agree with this. Johnson looks like a lost little boy on the mound lately. Small has been pitching shitty out of the pen, though maybe he'll have a decent start tomorrow, Chacon's last two outings have been garbage, but I'll give him a pass, cause we dont know how long he's been hurt. Plus, I like the guy. Wright has looked decent his last three starts, but I dont have much faith in him. As much as I hate Pavano, at least he woulda been another arm. Our bullpen is very shaky outside Proctor and Mo (and sometimes Farnsworth). I think once Sheff gets back, the lineup will be fine, but the pitching does scare me. I also fear Beckett, he owns us, but Moose should be able to match up with him nicely. Neither the Yanks or the Sox have the dominant squads they've each had the last couple years, but we're both still strong and pretty evenly matched. I have a feeling we'll stay close to each other all season and then the AL East will come down to the last couple weeks of the season...again.

Again, Stop with the Yanks Vs the Sox thing. You are playing the Mets this week, worry about them...

Yeah, but we play the Sox on Monday. :action-sm And in September, we'll be battling the division out with them. The Mets will be six games back looking up at Philly and Atlanta.

At least we can both agree that the White Sox look nasty. Winning the division means even more now because the WC is probably gonna play the W. Sox. And personally, I dont wanna have to face their pitching staff in the playofss...

Don't forget that Pedro will be on the DL when they need him the most. :icon_lol:

Agreed! If you win the division, you can hope that the WC series goes 5 games and they have to battle. Then you could hope for a situation like the 2003 W/S when the Yanks had to play after a tough 7 game ALCS. Edge goes to the rested team.

i have a question for the viewers of this fine thread!
dontrell willis is confirmed that he will be traded by an anonymous coach on florida marlins!!
if the the yanks were interested who would they trade and who can they afford to lose?
florida is gonna want young blood for him example: cano, melky, ya know what i mean?
i cant see the yanks letting go of cano! (JUST SPECULATION ON WHO CAN THEY TRADE)

[7cent]

Bean, Reese, and Pavano..with the Yankees continueing to pay 95% of Pavano's contract..

Wouldn't want him, they're going to want too much for him and he just isn't THAT good.

They'll probably want three out of Hughes, Tabata, Clippard, Garcia, Duncan, Jackson, Henry, Nunez, and Sardinha plus probably a rostered player.

[Cybouncer]

Wouldn't want him, they're going to want too much for him and he just isn't THAT good.
.

Isn't that good?

You're on crack pal.:action-sm

If you give him an offense like that of the Yankee's and, (barring injury) he'll win 15-20 games for the next 6 years.

I don't want to see him go to the Bronx but that would be a the best pitching move they have made in a long time.

[omgzpizzowned]

His Krate has dropped since his rookie year(which tends to be the true measure of whether or not a pitcher is falling off). 2005 was an aberration for Willis, not the norm.

Let the Mets give up Pelfrey and Milledge for him, or the Red Sox give up Lester, HR Hansen, and Pedroia or Ellsbury for him.

ARod's leading the AL in go-ahead RBI.



A go-ahead RBI in the 3rd is a lot different than a go-ahead RBI in the 9th isn't it? :action-sm


He didn't earn his salary this weekend...

[askewcore]

did he? i refuse to listen to the fox or espn broadcast, so i tune into Sterling. I think I'm gonna do that for every game again now. Unless Kay isnt there. TV announcers really piss me off

What the fuck do we need Durazo for? Isnt he a DH?

[omgzpizzowned]

Yeah, Yankees signed Durazo and are about to sign Hidalgo and Jason Romano. All these zero risk/huge reward deals are amazing. Long's coming up tonight after tearing it up in columbus for the weekend.

hah, it's ok, he's still leading the league. I'll take that over that scrub up in boston who's done little of anything this year himself and has had more shit himself with the game on the line moments than arod.

[Perch1019]

I heard the yankees just put an ad out asking anyone with ML experence to show up and they will pay them.
Terrance Long? Wasnt he the guy who broke his leg in the ALDS back in 01 or 00 vs the yanks. Its amazing to see their outfield right now.

I loved how Torre pulled Anti-Jeter last night in the 9th for the double switch. Theres nothing short of him going on a 20 HR tear in 20 games that will make me like him again this season. Hes so bad when it comes down to a clutch situation. If they are making some kind of comeback and he steps into the batters box, i have zero faith he is going to come through. Was there anyone who didnt expect him to hit into that double play in the 8th last night? Fuck him and his 25 mil.

Ugh, why did giambi not go to 2nd first there

[omgzpizzowned]

Anti-Jeter? It's pretty funny, if you pull up three year splits, ARod's a better close and late hitter than Jeter.

[Perch1019]

Anti-Jeter? It's pretty funny, if you pull up three year splits, ARod's a better close and late hitter than Jeter.

Jeter is Mr Clutch arod is Mr Choke. Hence the Anti Jeter. Jeter comes up with the game on the line I believe he will get a hit. When its arod, i know it aint happening.

No. That was Jermaine Dye. Terrence Long is a pretty good ballplayer, and I'm pretty happy we picked him up. At least he's a proven major leaguer, we dont know anything about Kevin Reese.

[BLACKIEhugeHANDS]

why is it, anytime ny gets a 1 or 2 zip lead on someone, they give up 3 or 4 runs right back the next inning... seems to happen way too often.... like tonight for instance...


i can't wait to see johnson pitch with a 5 run lead after the first inning because that will definately result in a yankee loss... this season is starting to piss me off. at least jeter will carry the team on his back like he always does

[joefrombklyn]

i am starting to get that feeling of the 80's and early 90's again for the yanks!! i dont wanna talk like that but they arent the team of early millenium and late 90's!!!

[joefrombklyn]

i cant even watch this shit!!

[Perch1019]

Stats say otherwise.

Pull these stats. Show me where when the game was on the line, Arod came through. Not even the game on the line but in late innings where it was a close game. Other than that Drays game where he got the hit this season or the HR off schilling last july in the 9th, i cant think of any. Maybe it was in the 9th inning of game 5 when he rapped into the rally killing DP or it could have been last night when he did the same. Whenever he comes up in a big spot and there is no massive lead, he does dick. I dont know how to prove that other than going by hearsay but it seems to be the case.
Poll yankee fans and ask them who they want up in the late innings with the yanks down by a run and a guy on base. Im willing to bet that a significant part of the majority would say Jeter over Arod.

[omgzpizzowned]

Well, at least Foulke still sucks.

Where did you see that? Go ahead RBIs? In all the years i have watched baseball i dont think i have ever seen such a stat. I ask you to bring up something to prove he is a clutch player and thats all you got?
Why are we pathetic? Because we refuse to drink the yankee koolade and convince ourselves all is well? Because we're sick of rooting for a bunch of overpaid washed up has beens? Just because we disagree or dont like some of the players, dont make us any less of a fan. I will root for the yankees until the day I die. But im not going to sit around and pretend that all is well or that Arod is 'clutch' because he leads the league in "go ahead RBIs." The yankees are in a world of shit. Just look at what they have to do to fill in all these holes that the DL is causing them. They are going to the list of players that teams have banished and bringing them up. Normally a team would go to its farm system but because we keep trading for Randy Johnsons, WE DONT HAVE A FUCKING FARM!!!!! On top of that, unless they want to bring the payroll to over 250 million, they are not going to be able to sign the big free agents.
It nauseates me to watch the Mets this season because they are what the yanks were 10 years ago. They have some young talent mixed with sound vets and they have the farm to make this something that could work for a good amount of time. Here we are trying to find out if Richard Hidalgo escaped from another attempted murder/car jacking so we can have him fill in left field this week and the mets are becoming the team to watch.

On a side note, Its nice that he hit another garbage time HR tonite.

And I dont hate my own players. I hate watching someone who makes the most money in the game bat .240 and only put up numbers when the game means shit.

who's on their farm?

Our payroll is $194,663,079.

Our farm has some decent players, but nothing great.

In Columbus we got Melky, Reese, Thompson, (who you obviously know) Mitch Jones has power, but is only hitting like .230 in Columbus. We still have Eric Duncan, who's supposed to be strong, but really hasnt proven anything yet. Darrell Rasner has been pitching pretty well for Columbus, he's 3-0 with like a 2.75 ERA

Trenton is a little stronger I think, which is no surprise, AA clubs usually have more talent.

Faison, Duncan, Sardinha and Randy Ruiz have all been hitting the ball well.
We got a couple good pitchers there too, Steve White is 3-1 with an ERA of something like 2.25. TJ Beam & Charlie Manning have also been pitching really well. JB Cox and Philip Hughes you probably know, theyre supposed to be nasty.

Our farm is non-existent, but its certainly not great. That being said, when you start comparing it to the Mets, they really dont have much on us. For all the hype about Lastings Milledge, he's hitting .277 with 3 Homers and 11 RBIs in 43 games. Thats nothing real special.

I thought the whole big to do this season was that the yanks broke th 200 mil mark. From what i remember it was around 210 at the start.
I dont think the mets have a stellar system but what i was saying was what i cant stand about the mets is how much like the older yanks they are becoming. They are likeable and that kills me. If one more mets fans tells me "they are so exciting to watch!" im gonna spit in their face.

Its just overall disgusting to see the way this team is performing. For so long they have been so good and for them to just go downhill it stinks. out of all my teams i root for (jets, knicks, rangers), the yanks have been the one constant where i knew i wouldnt get frustrated. Now im watching every night throwing things around the living room in disgust.
With all that said, i will be at the game on Fri night. Bacholor party. Should be a fun one. Anyone else going?

[askewcore]

http://asp.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/salaries/teamresults.aspx?team=9
http://www.onestopbaseball.com/TeamPayroll.asp

Both these sites have it listed the same. So I'm guessing thats accurate. The team is declining a little now because Steinbrenner is sticking his fat head into things again and making more bad moves. Gene Michael was the best thing that ever happened to this team. Sheff should be back in the lineup tonight, so we should start hitting again. But the pitching staff really makes me uncomfortable.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

...out of all my teams i root for (jets, knicks, rangers)...tsk tsk tsk...that's why you gotta go Giants instead of Jets! And as for basketball...umm, just root for no blisters while jackin' it (that's so much better than pro-basketball) :action-sm

[Perch1019]

tsk tsk tsk...that's why you gotta go Giants instead of Jets!

I used to root for the Giants until the summer after superbowl XXV. I was 10 years old and was at some workout thing for inner city kids (i got to go since i have a connection @ the NFL). We got to interact with the entire team in a mini camp all day. It was amazing. All the players were there and they all showed us how to do different things. I had a game ball from the superbowl that each of them was signing as we got to their part of the camp. At the end LT came to speak to everyone. We were in the tunnel while the underprivledgeds were stuck in the stands. After he finished, he was walking past us to go back to his car and i asked him "Mr Taylor can you sign this please?" That mutherfucker took the ball and punted it down the tunnel and just kept walking. Ive been a jets fan ever since. I even know some of the Maras and not even that would bring me back to rooting for them. Fuck them. Id rather suffer.

[askewcore]

So what brought you more pain, LT punting your ball, or rooting for that poor excuse for a joke of a football team sometimes called the Jets?

[omgzpizzowned]

Texas pays 9.5mil of ARod's salary still also.

Our farm has.......Tabata(the cream of the crop), Hughes(the arm of the crop), Cox, Clippard, Garcia, Zolio Almonte, Brett Gardner, Francisco Gil, Austin Jackson (steal of the 05 draft), CJ Henry, Schmidt, Nunez, Battle, Ben Jones, Christian, Howard, Sardinha, Duncan, Poterson.

There's a reason why everyone who destroyed the Yankees' system the last few years is now eating their words. Three A drafts in a row plus a ton of great international free agent signings.

He should absolutly bean Manny right in his fucking spine for posing down that homer last night. Enough of this pussy civility. In the old days, a guy like Bob Gibson would have tossed that fucking ball right in the guys face if he showed him up like that. There's not enough mean, old school mentality pitchers anymore.

Edit: Melky leading off huh? Thats different. I dont know why they wouldnt play Damon today, then have the off-day tomorrow and they could sit him against KC if Joe wants to double up his rest...but whatever.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

I didn't see Manny's HR, but I assume he looked back at Posada, flipped the bat, posed and trotted around like he was Joe Carter after Game 6 of the 1993 Series, huh?

I am amazed at Johnson...all the way into the 2nd inning and he's only given up 2 runs!! I'll admit, I was actually coming here to bet that by the 17th pitch of the inning, Boston would have tied the game...I forgot how many pitches he's made so far

EDIT>.....did he make it to the 17th pitch? Why couldn't that ball have just been a line drive directly into his big stupid Adam's apple? I want to see him die on the mound (in real life, not just pitching like he always does) At least Johnson dropped a big Fuck that was clearly visible on YES

[joefrombklyn]

way to earn that paycheck randy!!
also what a bunch of pussies these yankees are, not once brushing manny back or ortiz!! even the commentators are calling the yanks out !!

[Tax Kuntz]

Would Yankee fans rather have El Duque or Randy Johnson right now?

[Jimmy's Dignity]

not even close...Gimme El Duque. Enjoy him, unlike either of our teams, he's won a World Series in the last 5 years

[Abysmul]

nice strikeout....5 runs, about what we can expect from the big useless:icon_roll

and people, please stop hating on Arod


oh yea, i think el duque pitched pretty damn good for us 2 seasons ago, and we got rid of him....WHY?!?

[Jimmy's Dignity]

they're still talking about how the Yanks pitchers should have hit Manny after last night's "display"...I still haven't seen the HR that he hit last night. Did he put on another display tonight after his HR?

and what the fuck was A-Rod swinging at on that pitch? It bounced after 37 feet on the way to the mound!

Whoa...how do you not score on a ball that's thrown all the way out to the Cape?

[joefrombklyn]

manny and ortiz own us !!
tonight its manny! so much that the fucken commentators are saying brush him back on live t.v. ... up and in!!

[joefrombklyn]

text book pitching by mariano..... fuckin picturesque!!! thats what all our pitchers need to do to manny and gorilla ortiz!

[Jimmy's Dignity]

what a fuckin play by the Captain

okay, now time to go to bed

[omgzpizzowned]

Ortiz has been about as clutch as Kelly Stinnett this year.

[Halo Five]

Nah, after both his homers today, he put his head down and ran to first. I'm still glad Mo at least backed him off the plate though. At least RJ pitched half-decent today, maybe getting a win against a good team in a big game will pick him up.....please?

The shit he pulled last night was inexcusable though. He waited for the ball to land before he ran. They showed a replay on YES tonight where you could actually see the ump yell at Manny, "Run!"

Getting old sure is a bitch ain't it? Keep trading away the farm talent why don't ya.
Eh, there's very little minor league catching talent in any system. It's the only position the Yankees can't fill right away, but shouldn't have to.

[boozer03]

shouldnt have to?? They should have a backup plan for just about every spot on their roster.

They had a few good catchers but traded one..and just released the other one.

Parrish wasnt the best but would be an ok filler if somebody went down.

[askewcore]

Maybe if we didnt trade Vasquez, Halsey and Navarro for Big Useless we'd have a decent backup.

[omgzpizzowned]

Navarro is not good, the best catcher in the Yankee system right now is Ben Davis by far.

[askewcore]

Navarro is better than Stinnet...or nobody.

[omgzpizzowned]

eh, if things were dire then ben davis would be rushed up, or they'd trade spare parts for a guy like cota

[joefrombklyn]

melky with that sweet ass catch in the outfield!! i think this kid definetly has potential i think he had a hard time last season due to the situation he was put in... the pressure was on him and this year he seems alittle more relaxed and pretty much he has been covered the outfield and he is batting 3 and change!! (keep in mind he is 21 yrs old)

When you go on a 5 day, it is a lot cheaper. Thus, you get a lot of darker persuasion and they act pretty typically.


As far as your Yanks go, it's great to see Arod hitting a couple of dingers in a game that was already put away.

I have to say though, I'm really starting to like Melky though. This is what the Yanks have to do. Find young talent and groom them into the Major Leaguers. The kid's batting .313 right now.

[joefrombklyn]

as for melky yeah he is ripening just fine!! so far so good... kelly stinnet finally seemed to shine alittle and hit some balls yesterday! where was it that someone was saying that cano is just like soriano? was it here ?:icon_conf

nice johnny damon! lead off homer not bad!

larry bowa with the great 3rd base coach skills.. i like bowa!!! no homo.
i guess tomorrow series against detroit is a real test for the yanks because they are playing great ball!

[Cybouncer]

They, (Detroit) are playing well right now but they remind me of Baltimore from last season. They will fizzle after the allstar break.

why do you post so much in this thread???? They are nothing like Baltimore..Baltimore peaked in the beginning of the year, the Yankees haven't even hit a stride yet..They're also playing with a ton of injuries, they are just hanging in..will they ever hit a stride? I don't know, but there is no way they're red hot, and will fizzle after the break.

Now, like I said. DETROIT is playing like Baltimore did last season. I don't remember how far ahead they were, but at the All-star break last season, Baltimore was in first by a long way. Then, fairly quickly, they dropped off the map. I predict that this will happen with Detroit also. Unfortunately for the Yanks, they are playing Detroit now, when they're playing very well.

The Tigers have MUCH more talent than the Orioles did last season. Just look at the rosters boys. This team isn't going to be the best in baseball, but they're going to be good all year. Detroit is actually good again. Don't be typical Yankee snobs.

Good luck this week. I've always liked the Yankees too, and usually make the trip when the Yanks are in Detroit. However, we've decided to see Pujols & the Cardinals visit Motown this year.

[7cent]

Yeah, I've always been a huge Pujols fan since he debuted in the Majors. This will be my first time seeing him though. Last time I saw the Cardinals was in '98 during McGwire's tear.

This game has been good thus far, but I'm still pissed the ump blew the call on Jeter's groundball. Should be a 1-0 game. Plus, Thames really squandered a chance to hurt the Big Unit there. Can't do that against the Yanks or Sox & expect to win very much.

[spikesglaring]

Geez, how Bonderman can go from easy outs to this bases loaded situation is beyond me. It's at times like this that I wonder if he'll ever put it together and be anything more than a slightly above average pitcher. He has all the talent in the world, but he's been over-lapped in our rotation to become the fourth best starter.

Nice play to Shelton to get out of the inning.

[7cent]

any word on Jeter..I'm listening to the XM feed, and they haven't said anything..

[spikesglaring]

Jammed his right hand on a slide into second. It didn't sound serious.

[omgzpizzowned]

I'm surprised Bonderman's still in. Even the Melky ball to Shelton with the bases loaded was hit hard. He's been hit hard all day but a lot of it has been at people, then the dinkers have knocked in the runs.

[spikesglaring]

I'm just glad he settled down. He's not looked great in his last three outings, and we cannot afford that right now with Maroth on the DL.

Good start for Johnson. Detroit is just the team he needed to face since they're more of a hacking away team rather than the patient team that draws BB. We actually have hacked away more today than normal, which is the last thing I'd want to see with us getting shut out yesterday too.

[askewcore]

any word on Jeter..I'm listening to the XM feed, and they haven't said anything..

didnt look too bad. I was surprised he came out of the game, but I guess at this point, with all the injuries, they're taking zero chances.

Johnson looked good today. Faced 20 batters before allowing a hit. At least he gave his some kind of glimmer of hope that he can be decent.

Don't be typical Yankee snobs.

Cy is a Sox fan actually. :action-sm

[spikesglaring]

Cy is a Sox fan actually. :action-sm

That would explain why I had the feeling of puking while looking at his post. Fucking Red Sox & White Sox fans...

Not a good showing by our offense today. That's our biggest weakness this season b/c we don't have patient hitters. It'll be important to acquire a hitter or two at the trade deadline if we're still in the race. Hopefully we can recover tomorrow however against Small.

[askewcore]

Who is this kid pitching for Detroit tomorrow? I never heard of/seen him before. Is he any good?

[Perch1019]

Who was that really big guy pitching for us today that had a no-no through 6 innings?
shocked!

[omgzpizzowned]

Who is this kid pitching for Detroit tomorrow? I never heard of/seen him before. Is he any good?
Got him in the Farnsworth deal, he was a pretty decent pitching prospect.


And I think I know why Randy has looked so different his last two starts, he's mad again. He's even brushed people back more than once in the last two starts.

[askewcore]

I think you're right about RJ's attitude. He looked like a different pitcher, his body language was much better than it has been. That also could have something to do with the fact his slider wasnt flat for the first time in a long time. But at least he pitched well. How many more starts is Chacon gonna miss? Anyone know?

[Cybouncer]

As said earlier, I'm not a Yankee fan.

I agree, they will be decent all season. I don't think they will fall off as bad as Baltimore did last season, but I don't see them making the playoffs.

As far as pitching, or more specifically Kenny Rodgers goes, he is 42 years old. In his best season, he won 18 games. Good yes, but not good enough to win any games that count, (i.e. playoffs). He has had a very impressive start and yes, he is pitching very well right now. I just don't think he is going to be able to maintain it all season.

I will admit though. I am going to keep an eye on Justin Verlander. He is off to a decent start and he is a youngster. He has 3 shutouts and 2 1 run games under his belt this season. He could develop into a real good pitcher in the near future.

This all from a Red Sox snob:action-sm

Clement
Van Buren
Delcarmen
Risk
Foulke

I think he was referring to Van Buren...since he wrote (van buren) after the question...:action-sm

Jeter has a mild sprain in his wrist. He'll probably start tomorrow. We can all give a collective *WHEW* now.

nice leadoff triple for Melky...alas he gets stranded

Wasting a leadoff triple, loading the bases with no one out....oh no.

edit: at least he got Mags out. Maybe we'll turn two here....

edit 2: sweeeeet.

yikes...where the hell is Small aiming his curve? The first one looked like he was trying to spike it into the ground

ps Askew, I watched Bloodrayne...holy shit was that movie awful. But I did manage to crank a batch to Kristanna Loken bangin in the jail :icon_redf

[askewcore]

Well, Smally got his shit together and has looked pretty decent since the first. Melky looks really nice in the leadoff spot, both games he's led off he played great. Edit: I had to open my cunting mouth, now it's 6-3..


Yeah, Bloodrayne was definitly cheesy, but the blood and guts kept me at least half entertained, and I think Michelle Rodriguez is sexy too, she looked good with blue eyes in that movie. And who couldnt crank a batch off to that jail scene? That chick is retardedly hot.

[Perch1019]

Get a 6-0 lead and then stop having an offense. WTF! Why do they always do this?

Im listening to game and Sterling and Waltman just had this exchange which had me laughing my ass off...
Sterling: (in ref to wells and glaus hitting 2 Hrs in in the boston game): the thing is that they both bat back to back so they probably hit the 2 homes back to back
Waltman: Well what about the 'a belly to belly'?

[7cent]

OK, I'm listening to the game..how close was that play at the plate?? did he get in?

[Tickle The Bag]

Not good when the defensive first baseman can't scoop a ball..

He's an upgrade on throwing the ball, but that three arm'd baby would be an upgrade over Jason. Other than that I really don't see much of an upgrade. With Cano you don't need a 1b who has a ton of range and Jason catches anything to him, whether off a bat or thrown.

And has anyone watched this Yankees Batting Practice Today on YES? I had it on while i was half asleep and kept hearing the sound of a bat hitting a ball. I looked up and they actully show batting practice and discuss the player. Do people seriously watch this?
