Matsui's streak would have ended tommorow anyway, but it's pretty cheap that it had to end tonight simply because he got injured in the first inning. Ridiculous rule, if he had recorded an out a person who didn't get credit for playing in the game would have recorded an out. WTF?

Matsui broke his wrist, he will need surgery tomorrow. I guess we won't see him until next year.I hope Melky is ready to at least be a platoon player. I REALLY hope the front office doesn't panic and trade a good prospect for a mediocre stopgap.

Nah, you'll just see alot of Bernie. And until Sheff comes back, alot of Melky and Bubba. We'll live. The Yanks will actually be better defensively with Bubba in Left. Matsui's been shaky there for the past few years. Any word on how long a broken wrist takes to heal? Since the wrists are so involved in your swing, I'd bet a looong time. I'll guess 2 mos min.

great night tonight for Wang. He looked so sharp, that's a very positive sign.

I have no problem with Bernie in the role he was supposed to be playing. Unfortunately this means he'll see more of the field, and with Torre managing it means he'll see much more of the field than he should be seeing, even considering the circumstances. The fact that Bernie's arm will be manning one of the corner outfield positions on a regular basis makes me shudder.

I want to get a look at Melky Cabrera. He was hitting .385 in Columbus, and at 21 has made it all the way through the Yankee farm system. Might be this year's Cano. If the reports are true and Gillick doesn't want much for Abreu, and Bowden will take a bottle of Scotch for Soriano, then you'd have to consider it. But I wouldn't be in any rush to do anything just yet.  <blockquote />

And it's funny how I know if the Yanks won just by how active this thread is.  You fair weather bitches!  Someone's hurt, who we gonna sign now!  Yah, that's why the league sucks.  They cover ever mistake, injury and more.  I can't wait for George's HA and then they'll lose their power over Selig and we'll finally have our cap in one form or another.  Please George, die!  And not from cancer bc I couldn't stand another yanker title.

Best story I heard today. Sturtze walks into the dugout after yet another miserable, totally ineffective outing and Torre says to him "You have a stiff shoulder, you're going on the 15 day DL". I thought it was odd when the announced Sturtze was going on the DL immediately after the game. Usually, they'll wait a few days to get a doctor with some medical facilities to confirm or make a diagnosis. Also, Sturtze was throwing 94-95 MPH. There's nothing wrong with his arm. Torre's just as fed up with him as most Yankee fans are, though probably for different reasons.

HBox

As soon as Dotel is back and they are sure he's healthy and effective, Sturtze is lucky if they send ii they send him to the minors.

Bulldogcakes

05-13-2006, 03:18 PM

Cashman said on the radio this week that he wont rush to fill the outfield, and I believe him, as long as they're playing well (BTW-Melky is hitting .444 so far, and doesn't look overmatched against good pitchers like Zito). If they hit the skids, expect a deal. He also said that they'll have an excess of pitching when Pavano and Dotel join the team, which is true. If those two come back healthy, they'll be a starter and reliever that will either have to go to AAA or get dealt. The only reliever they have who might have options is Proctor, and the way he's pitching, he's going nowhere. So they might have to make a deal. Small and Wang may have options as well, but Wang is going nowhere (Torre loves him) and Small is a bit player. The most obvious guys to deal look like Jaret Wright, Small, and if anyone wants him, Strurtze. A team thats strapped for starters might want to give Wright and/or Small a job, but in Wrights case, I'm sure the Yanks would eat some cash. He's owed 7 mil this year and next.

<a title="From Madden's column" target="_self" href="http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/story/417454p-352640c.html">From Madden's column</a> the only prospect on their top two minor league teams that anyone wants is untouchable righthander Philip Hughes. All the others - Cabrera, last year's No.1 draft pick J.B. Cox (who's topping out at 86-87 mph at Trenton), lefty Sean Henn (5.11 ERA at Columbus), '03 No. 1 pick Eric Duncan (.217 at Columbus) - are more suspect than prospect.   The same thing was said about Cano last year, who the D-Backs didn't even want in the RJ package, despite their need for an infielder. So far I like what I see from Melky alot, and he was hitting .385 in Columbus, and just like Cano last year the Yanks say he took big strides in winter ball. So I wouldn't include him in the "suspect" category at this point. Plus these are the guys that always come up in Yankee trade talks. They keep quiet about the guys they really like. You never heard a peep about Wang till he came to the Bronx.<a href="http://www.newsday.com/sports/printedition/ny-spflash144741944may14,0,1723595.column?coll=ny-sports-print" target="_self" title="From Heyman's collumn">From Heyman's collumn</a> The Yankees' No. 1 target this trading season won't be a big-name
outfielder such as Alfonso Soriano, Ken Griffey Jr. or Bobby Abreu.
It's more likely to be Dontrelle Willis. 
Wisely, the Yankees will make pitching their priority. And because they
understand they'll likely run second to Houston in the Roger Clemens
Sweepstakes, rather than spending their marketable prospects (starting
with hard-throwing Double-A pitcher Philip Hughes) on outfielders,
they're better off saving them for the D-Train, who most baseball
people expect to be traded ... eventually.<div>"To shoot our bullets for a bat doesn't make sense," general manager
Brian Cashman said. "We've got to be judicious. Even without [Hideki]

Sorry BDC, there's a difference between no interest and past injuries scaring someone away.  Wang has a very bad injury past, torn labrum (twice now), and that's the reason people choose other players via trades.  Don't recreate history, teams simply didn't want to take the chance on him.  And let's not act like he's the second coming.  He's a 3rd starter at best when healthy and on, and I'll bet he goes on the DL bc of his shoulder by July or August.  His arm doesn't have that many innings in it per year.

spoon

05-14-2006, 12:58 PM

And the Willis move will be contested by almost every playoff team in the picture.  Your "music" is more like a pipe dream with the likes of your prospects.  The yankee brass doesn't hide prospects, they trade them and have limited choices on who to fill spots when needed.  You may think a soft hitting second baseman is what a lot of teams want, but I doubt he'd have the numbers he does on any other team.  He's surrounded by great bats so he see great pitches. 

HBox

05-14-2006, 01:18 PM

You may think a soft hitting second baseman is
what a lot of teams want, but I doubt he'd have the numbers he does on
any other team.He hit 14 HRs last year, in an incomplete year, at 22. He was top 10 in the league in HRs, 2Bs and RBIs among second baseman. What exactly is your criteria for soft-hitting?

05-14-2006, 01:40 PM

Do you really think he'll continue to hit like that when on a lesser team with a lesser lineup?  Not to mention a 2 bagger isn't exactly the hardest position to fill, or even those stats.  So I'd pass on Cano for the likes of Willis unless they add a whole lot more.  Cano will fade away if traded.  And yes he's light hitting bc he only has two down the line homeruns this year one at Yankee Stadium where I could hit one too batting lefty.  His slugging % is in the bottom half, middle to be fair, of the league even though he sees great pitches.  Sorry, I disagree bigtime!

Not enough to be the centerpiece of a trade for someone like Willis, but he's ahuge trading chip IF they wanted to trade him, which they don't. And he's a line drive hitter, and not a dead pull hitter, which negates the advantages of Yankee Stadium. He's not a power hitter anyway, and has consistently hit better on the road. In fact, the smaller field in Yankee Stadium probably works against him, giving defenders less field to defend in right field. In more spacious fields he can more easily stroke doubles into the gap and down the line. All you have to do is look at him bat to see his potential, he has a great swing. His only weakness is that he doesn't draw walks, although he doesn't strikeout much, and doesn't go after bad pitches, and has shwon better plate judgement this season.But then again, not all 2B can manage a .192 BA.

So, unless a team just turns around and immediately trades ghim after the season he will automatically make a lot more next year.

reluctant to deal their top guys); 2) the Diamondbacks; and 3) the
Dodgers. But one GM warned not to count out the Blue Jays,
saying, "You have to know [Jays GM J.P. Ricciardi] is going for it. And
nobody has more pitching prospects at Triple-A.'' Those include David
Purcey, Josh Banks, Shaun Marcum and Brandon League. I still wont count the Yankees out. I doubt the D-Backs and Dodgers will be close enough in their division to have a big interest. I doubt the Angels will part with their top prospects. Blue Jays remain to be seen. Attendance is up 10%, payroll is up from 46 to 72 mil, about 50%.

The Dodgers will have him if they want him. The Angels have the prospects, but do they have the money? Probably, but their payroll is already pretty high and they have a bunch of long term contracts. The Diamondbacks, who knows? Sometimes they have money, sometimes they don't. I'd put the Yanks chances above the Blue Jays.But I still can't see Willis going anywhere. Loria should be blackballed from baseball if he trades him after what they did in the offseason.

Probably, but their payroll is already pretty high and they have a bunch of long term contracts. The Diamondbacks, who knows? Sometimes they have money, sometimes they don't. I'd put the Yanks chances above the Blue Jays. But I still can't see Willis going anywhere. Loria should be blackballed from baseball if he trades him after what they did in the offseason.  That's more like it H.  I couldn't agree more, especially with the latter part of this post.  I'm sick of the semi-annual Marlin Leage shakeup!  Yet I put the Jays chances above the Yanks, I just don't think they want to make the move.  They need a healthy balance of young cheaper players and costly vets/stars.  The Yanks and Boston can aford less of a mix, yet it doesn't always make for great chemistry.  So I think the Marlins would be much more interested in the Jays farm hands, I just don't know how willing they'll be to make a move.  So if by chance you mean more willing, I'd agree.  Yet I think at least a few other teams out there will be more then willing to make the move with better chips to play.

Boy does that suck. Melky needs some time to learn the outfield, and lets not forget that Matsui wasnt great there the past few years. He has shown a surprisingly good arm. He's thrown out two runners at the plate in the past two weeks. I cant remember Matsui doing that twice in the past two years. Oh, and another thing.

Late in his career, Gehrig's hands were x-rayed, which showed that he had suffered 17 distinct fractures - some old, some new. It is a testament to his toughness; considering how battered his hands alone were, it is likely Gehrig's body was in poor shape throughout his career.Im happy Pavano keeps getting hurt. Keep that sissy away from our rotation. Bruised ass, what a woman.

Bulldogcakes

05-18-2006, 03:07 PM

Susan and Sterling mentioned something on the broadcast today that I also heard last year, but forgot. Each
time Pavano has come up with these "injuries" he's been brought to a
doctor and NOTHING HAS BEEN FOUND. Last year and this year. Now its
true you cant get inside someone's body, and sometimes things dont show
up on tests, but this is now 3 different injuries, different areas of
the body (back, buttocks, now bicep) and medical tests have shown no
serious injury each time. Now Pavano is heading to Tampa, which means
he's starting over AGAIN. 
If I'm Brian Cashman, I start looking into voiding his contract.
This is becoming a 40 million dollar case of fraud IMO. I have never
seen such a crybaby pussy in my life, and its obvious to everybody he's
healthy, and has no intention of pitching here. Word was all over the
place in the off season that he wasn't happy here, and wanted out. 
I predict that Pavano will magically get healthy when the Yanks
trade him (for nothing, what he's worth) and have another big season in
year 4 of his 4 year deal. Just a hunch.

TheGameHHH

05-18-2006, 04:03 PM

Torre just announced on Mike and the Dog that Pavano has bone chips
above his elbow, so he's going to have surgery to remove tham. At least
they finally found SOMETHING wrong with the guy. Sounds like another
6-8 weeks for him. Maybe we'll see him in August.

I hope a line drive collides with Randy's knee and ends his career. Pavano lobbing pithces with his non-throwing arm from his hospital bed after his surgery while still half groggy from anesthesia would be more effective than this.

This is likely the first time they did any testing on it. And this is a clear cut problem with a clear cut solution. There was no pitching through this, no quicker way to recovery. And who knows how long he was pitching with the problem?

Tendonitis? TENDONITIS?! You could examine half the team and if they
were crybaby pussies like Pavano, they'd get diagnosed with tendonitis.
And they'd be out for a few weeks, NOT A YEAR! Anytime I hear a Dr say
a body part with "itis" at the end, I know its not serious. If it was a
tear, now thats something that shows up on an MRI and requires surgery.
BTW- I have been dubbed by the lower Knight of the Count of

things Yankee. So there.

"he's worthless to me as a Yankee fan" - BDCYet he's super valuable to me as a Blue Jay fan! And as for downplaying rotator cuff tendonitis, think again.  When something is inflamed, it's that way for a bad reason.  When one has patellar tendonitis, most people can't even bend their knee, ask Snoogans.  If Pavano pushed the issue the injury would surely have gotten worse and possibly progressed to one of your precious tears.

I should also mention that Pavano WAS pitching hurt for the majority of his starts last season, and I think we all remember how good he was in his first few starts and how bad he was up until he went on the DL. I think it was good that he didn't risk a serious injury pushing it just so he could put up mediocre and horrible starts. Although, he's missed all this time anyway. <img border="0" src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/dry.gif" />

As  much as I'd like to credit the Yanks for a great victory,
the fact of the matter is that game was BLOWN by the Mets more than won
by the Yanks. If one Yank deserves credit, its Melky Cabrera. His long
at bat seemed to wear out Wagner (who just pitched last night) and
Wagner went on to walk STINETT of all people on 4 pitches, and hit
Bernie. Good job by Melky, who I really like so far, despite
his adventures in the OF (He's a natural CF, which is easier to play
than the corners). I think he could be a star with the bat and his arm
in the OF. If he develops some power as he matures, he could be a
terrific player for years to come, hopefully with the Yanks. And dont
forget that Bernie was an adventure in the OF his first few years with the Yanks in the early 90s.

No chatter in the Yankee thread equals another loss.  Seriously, I check here first and can postulate that the Yanks were getting spanked before I even checked the actual scores!  And I guess the Brewers would be the closest?  Good point on the rivalry, as I say we don't count the last three versus the Rockies since they shouldn't have played them!!  Ha!

I guess you have some sort of point! Congrats on the fucking 82. Did you just.....wait a second......was that a compliment? Don't go getting soft on me.It was the best round of my life, I have no idea where it came from considering I've been playing shitty all season pretty much.

spoon

05-22-2006, 09:15 PM

Nah, not soft, I just respect a great round.  The best of my life happened two years ago at Emerson when I took my girlfriend out in an effort to teach her.  For some reason I just hit the shit out of the ball all day and then focused on her game and helping her.  As it turned out, I never broke 40 yet, but did put two of them up back to back and ended up with a fucking 80!  I hope to put a great round together again, but right now I'm stuck in the low 90's.  I had a chance to go sub forty on the front and the back needing only pars to do so.  Obviously I got bogies on both and just missed my first true sub forty round (on a real course bc I don't count the Meadows or Byrne) and breaking 80.  I'm not complaining, but it did sting to come sooo close only to just miss.  Dam putting!

 That's true - as Kay pointed out, Jeter has been in very good health for most of his career, but let's get to 3000 first before we even worry about 4000. I don't think I could imagine seeing Jeter playing in 2016. EDIT: How awesome would that be, to introduce my son to one of the greatest Yankees of all time as we both watch him on TV?I just thought about the future, and that's actually a pretty cool thought.

The same shit happened last week against the Mets when Wright booted a soft ground ball and then threw it away.  Jeter still would have been out by two steps.  Also, he got credit for at least two hits where Russ Adams and Frasor should have gotten errors.  I'm sure they were happy with the ruling, but it's getting rediculous.  This isn't Yankee hate here, just a point that it seems certain players (not only Jeter) seem to be getting actual rulings in their favor of late.  Like Jordan traveling in the NBA, or Rocket pitching to a much bigger strike zone.  I hate this most of all bc they have time to make their decisions and still fuck it up.

All of course, with never getting injured, and playing at the same pace he can keep up now, at 32.  If he just gets 3000, he'll be the first Yankee do so (all of them as a Yankee).

Well coming back from the game today (Half-soaked!), I thought it was an error and it felt very anti-climatic that it was ruled a hit instead of an error. I'm just annoyed that the Yanks lost to the fucking Royals!  And I feared this might have happened with the Royals losing streak coming to the Bronx and they might have feeled they were due for a win.Well they better win the next two games before they go to Detroit.

Bulldogcakes

05-27-2006, 04:17 AM

Yeah, you can lose to anyone in the bigs, but you do expect to sweep the Royals if you're the Yanks. I was impressed that they didn't just give away their AB's after the 2 hour rain delay like most teams would. And Farnworth has been falling in love with the slider lately, and he needs to cut it out. THat's a great pitch when its mixed in with the 100MPH fastballs. When its the main pitch, if you miss your spots it gets killed which is what happened last night.

Who was that impersonator on the mound pretending to be the former, great pitcher known as Randy Johnson? He had a no hitter going until the 5th or 6th today. Wow. I didn't think he had a game like that in him, against a good, red hot team (won 8 of last 9). His body language on the mound was much better also. Angry, bitching at the umps, scowling at the hitters. THAT'S Randy Johnson. Nice to see him show up for once. Lets see if it lasts.

I KNEW Randy Johnson had it him to pitch a great game again!!!  Never had a doubt in me!!!  Now even though Ron Villone held it down in the 7th and 8th, why after only giving up 2 hits, does Torre had to take him out?  I mean with the bullpen being used sooooo much, he just had to take Randy Out.  I'm just nitpicking here.  But I am happy with the win.

Because he only threw 16 pitches in the first 2 innings of work, didn't pitch yesterday, and threw only 10 pitches on Saturday.

Mike Mussina telling Torre to stay the fuck in the dugout made my night. It's a shame he lost the shutout, but he really gave the bullpen exactly what it needed.

That was the best I've seen Mussina pitched in awhile.  And I'm also happy that Mussina told Torre to sit down.  It's like no matter how well the Yankee pitcher pitches in a game if you give up one or two hits late in a game, Torre takes him out.That's the only thing that annoys me about Torre.  Other than that, 5 in a row, already won this series against the Tigers, and now I truly believe the Tigers have a great record so far is because they have the Royals in the same division.

Fucking Torre runs this bullpen as well as a horse can run a nuclear reactor. Let's just get right back to overusing this bullpen. I'm sure Proctor will be used for two innings now, unless he can't get it done. Why the fuck do you take out Rasner, he was cruising.Rivera is out with back spasms. Which makes taking out Rasner doubly stupid. I'm so fucking pissed right now.

Why the fuck do you take out Rasner, he was cruising. He wanted him to leave on a high note. A lefty was coming up and Torre wasn't going to push his luck. This is a guy who was RELEASED by the NATIONALS, he doesn't have great stuff. An 88 MPH fastball and a decent curve. I was happy to get whatever I could out of him.

I'll live will Melky and Bernie till the price comes down around the trade deadline.  I happen to LIKE the way this team is playing right now. Putting hits together, moving baserunners, and the occasional long ball. The Yanks for the 1st month of this season and the past few seasons have been an all or nothing, wait for the 3 run HR, feast or famine hitting team. Now they have a better blend with Melky playing and Bernies been doing well. You dont have to bludgeon everyone, you dont have to score the most runs in the league, just scratch out a few and get a well PITCHED game (BTW-Wang was lousy last night). Plus, lets not go nuts here. They still have ALOT of great talent on this team.

Fuck man, this game is like a manifestation of nightmares of every recent injury. First, with Rivera still out and Proctor pitching two innings last night (thanks again Joe) Torre has to try to get two innings out of Villone, and when he can't get that has to bring in Erickson in a tough situation, who hits a guy, but then gets a pop out, but since all the offense is out of the lineup Bernie has to play RF and he turns that pop out into a double. So now Farnsworth has to come in and get 5 outs. He then gets a ground ball to third that at worst should be an out at home and at best should be an inning ending double play but Cairo, filling in for A-Rod at third, bobbles and can only get an out at first. And the game isn't even over yet. I'm sure when the O's win it will also be potentially attributable to an injury.

RingWraith

06-02-2006, 10:53 PM

Well the O's didn't win.  And Farnsworth pretty much did his job.  (For now!)  With all the injuries and pitching problems, the Yanks are still winning. So I'm pleased that the young players and role players are coming through for the Yanks so far in the lineup.  Melky been great so far.

Come on Hbox, easy on Cairo as it wasn't even an error which probably would have been the result if Arod was in there.  Sorry, the guy has a lot, 9 errors versus 11 double plays over 52 games.  So be glad he wasn't in or the O's would have scored two as the ball found the outfield grass.

Another good outing by Johnson, despite the line. He had a rough first (which was mostly one bad pitch) and completely shut the O's down after that. Looked great again, just needs to figure out how to start off better. Though alot of great veteran pitchers were like that. If you didn't get them early, you were done. Deserved the win, but Proctor let up 2 and ending up getting it.Proctor was also shaky at first, but looked much better after that, and his velocity went up the longer he pitched. I cant believe they've won with the mash unit they're playing right now, though the "Baby Bombers" are all hitting and fielding well. Giambi and A-Rod should be back today, Mo tomorrow. I love the way this team is playing right now. Different hero each day, ABC baseball, pitching and fielding well. Trouble has been in the bullpen, but that only shows how big Mo is to this team.

Wow, I never knew Bekett had such an achilles heel in his game. If he cant get his curve over, he's dead. Tonight's Wang vs some kid named Pauley with a 12+ ERA. Gotta like us tonight.  Tomorrow is Johnson vs Wakefield. Johnson has been much better lately. Wakefield never scares me, even though he gives the Yanks fits sometimes. I have a feeling the Baby Bombers will get better swings off him than their usual big sluggers do. If Wakefield's knuckler doesn't dance, or he misses with a few, he's batting practice. Have to like us getting 2 of 3. Fairly good chance we can sweep. Sox really didn't have their rotation set up for this series, like last time. Could get ugly for them.

Nice game last night.  I felt like Andy Dufresne after The Sisters attacked him in the laundry room.

He hasn't pitched in six days. Good time to just get him some work.  I believe in this theory against any other team but Boston.  Just what the Sawx need, to see more of Mo & get more comfortable against him.  Pisses me off.  Let him throw a simulated inning or two in a bullpen session.  Mo's not the same pitcher in a blowout as he is in a save situation anyway, so why should it matter whether he gets his work done in a game situation or in the pen?Nice win, though.
