You have nothing to worry about now because I got your back. Your fine, fine back.

[Bossanova]

You have nothing to worry about now because I got your back. Your fine, fine back.

I havent heard that in quite some time. I knew there was something I was missing. Your strong touch should fulfill that need

[TheGameHHH]

ok boys, back to baseball

[BoondockSaint]

I havent heard that in quite some time. I knew there was something I was missing. Your strong touch should fulfill that need

Well, you keep you self in shape and there's no need for it to stop now. I ain't like Mr. G,hit and leave kind of dude. I'm here for the long haul.

[Bossanova]

Such a man you are. Dare I say a rich mans Gvac

[BoondockSaint]

Such a man you are. Dare I say a rich mans Gvac

Listen, in his prime, I couldn't run with GVAC. Nobody could. But he's retired now, a ghost. I'm a new, different breed.

[Kevin]

Such a man you are. Dare I say a rich mans Gvac

Do you want me to relay Gvac messages of what you are saying?

[Bossanova]

Do you want me to relay Gvac messages of what you are saying?

HAHA, nah I'll tell him tomorrow when I call him. But thanks for being a snitch friend

[BoondockSaint]

Do you want me to relay Gvac messages of what you are saying?

I got my eye on YOU, Kevin.

How does he not get any awards for that? He was brilliant.

[Kevin]

How does he not get any awards for that? He was brilliant.

Because he wasn't on some awful pasta fazool show.

[BoondockSaint]

Because he wasn't on some awful pasta fazool show.

Hey, o, check me wit dis wig, Tone.

[Kevin]

Hey, o, check me wit dis wig, Tone.

A yo ton, how bout butchy instead.

[BoondockSaint]

A yo ton, how bout butchy instead.
A, o, o, a, I need to dump out,

[TheMojoPin]

This is a fun game to watch, especially now that Morgan has shut the fuck up.

[Kevin]

A, o, o, a, I need to dump out,

See God Meadow.

[BoondockSaint]

This is a fun game to watch, especially now that Morgan has shut the fuck up.

I liked when Joe Morgan said that Johnny Damon was hurt yesterday and may get put on the DL. Too bad he was hurt Friday and was already put on the DL. He did watch the Wimbeldon final, though.

[TheMojoPin]

I liked when Joe Morgan said that Johnny Damon was hurt yesterday and may get put on the DL. Too bad he was hurt Friday and was already put on the DL. He did watch the Wimbeldon final, though.

Not surprising. Morgan practically brags about how he doesn't wach any baseball except for the games he calls.

My boy Clutch-Rod is gonna be the hero in this one. Just you haters wait.

[Kevin]

Yea, those two are always with it.

C.C Has been traded to the Brewers but it won't be announced til the morning..

YOU JUST ANNOUNCED IT.

[Kevin]

Not surprising. Morgan practically brags about how he doesn't wach any baseball except for the games he calls.

My boy Clutch-Rod is gonna be the hero in this one. Just you haters wait.

255 with risp...

[BoondockSaint]

255 with risp...

Is that before or after Madonna brainwashed him?

[K.C.]

Man, A-Rod ties Mantle, and probably loses close to a quarter billion dollars in the same day.

Hope he had a pre-nup.

Even if he didn't, he can split the royalties on 'Like A Virgin' now. That's probably decent bank.

[Kevin]

Is that before or after Madonna brainwashed him?

Damn Kaballah.

[TheMojoPin]

255 with risp...

Yeah, but an .875 OPS.

With men on base period? .935.

Tie game? .826.

CLUTCH-ROD FTW.

[Kevin]

Pre Nup.

[DiabloSammich]

Pre Nup.


I missed it, did he actually leave his chick for Madonna?

[TheGameHHH]

HAHAHA Fuck you Papelbon you small mouthed motherfucker

[Kevin]

I missed it, did he actually leave his chick for Madonna?

She is divorcing him.

[BoondockSaint]

Gardner is no Tatis.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Gardner looks like Yerdaddy.

[Snoogans]

I really wish I could hate on Gardner for hittin it like a bitch, but it was a damn good AB.

And I really REALLY hate the Sox pen. Every fuckin game I wanna kill someone with what these dickheads pull.

[BoondockSaint]

HAHAHA Fuck you Papelbon you small mouthed motherfucker


Don't worry, you'll still fit.

[TheGameHHH]

Don't worry, you'll still fit.

your mom never complains either, so im not worried about it

[BoondockSaint]

your mom never complains either, so im not worried about it

Complain? She probably doesn't even notice.

[TheGameHHH]

Complain? She probably doesn't even notice.

hell no, that bitch is looser than lindsey lohan.......how could she notice?

[JPMNICK]

if not for mariano, they would have lost 1 out of 2 of these last games.

[TheGameHHH]

if not for mariano, they would have won the 2001 world series.

fixed that for ya

[TheGameHHH]

this is going to be a great game......nice clutch double by Jeter

[Kevin]

this is going to be a great game......nice clutch double by Jeter

No way he shoulda been sent there. Not with Upton's arm and how shallow it was hit.

[Kevin]

Show of hands if when the Jorge ball hit the top of the wall, you knew the run was not scoring...

[TheGameHHH]

No way he shoulda been sent there. Not with Upton's arm and how shallow it was hit.

honestly, i get what youre saying but i would have sent him too. it was an very good throw and an out u just take if you get beat on it. i dont see a problem with sending him there.

[TheGameHHH]

man, i wish the Yanks had a shortstop with range. Jeter sucks

[Doctor Z]

Surprised Girardi threw him out there for the 8th with 100+ pitches, but you couldn't ask for more from Andy tonight. 8 innings of shutout ball. That's huge.

[zildjian361]

bring in :clap:Mo

[TheGameHHH]

excellent win

[TheGameHHH]

thats it, im growing a mustache.

[riptide]

thats it, im growing a mustache.

Like you even can!

[TheGameHHH]

Like you even can!

oh you wait, its gonna be the most bad-ass 'stache in history

my father is one of the last 27 people left on earth that still rocks a mustache. it looks outstanding on him, so its in my genes to grow a kickin 'stache.

[ChrisTheCop]

excellent win

QFT. Thanx guys. Let's do it again tonight!!!

[riptide]

better yet, we'll try and do it again today!!! how about right now?

[ChrisTheCop]

Oh...sorry, I was watching "another" game.

Keith Hernandez says your stache is trash.?

[TheGameHHH]

Oh...sorry, I was watching "another" game.

How ya doin?

the Yanks are up 1-0, going in to the bottom of the 3rd.

[Kevin]

Keith Hernandez says your stache is trash.?

Your beard is weird

[BoondockSaint]

I actually like this Flaherty/ Singleton combo. It just shows how bad Kay is.

[Doctor Z]

. . . Did... Did Abreu just make a nice catch near the wall?


Also, I think this situation calls for it...

http://homepage.mac.com/horseshack/.Pictures/YogiOffense.jpg

[Doctor Z]

Oh boy... Mariano in a non-save...

[TheGameHHH]

If Mo can hold them here Cano will win this game for them.

Print it!

[Snoogans]

If Mo can hold them here Cano will win this game for them.

Print it!

stop rippin off Rodney fool

[Doctor Z]

Epic fail.

Fuckin' game-winning run was 90 feet from home with 1 out. Shit was served up on a silver platter. And we couldn't do it. Melky just had to PUT THAT SHIT IN PLAY and we would've won. Sweet Jesus.

[foodcourtdruide]

Can't watch the game at work, why did Christian steal third with 1 out? That's a crazy risky move, though Carbrera/Molina were the at bats.

[Doctor Z]

Wow, Mariano is absolutely DEALING right now.

[TheGameHHH]

Is Good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Doctor Z]

http://newyork.yankees.mlb.com/images/2007/02/27/uY8isxom.jpg

[ChrisTheCop]

Thanks again! :clap::clap::clap:

[Doctor Z]

Anytime!

[ChrisTheCop]

Anytime!

Actually, you can stop now. :wink:

[Doctor Z]

Holy shit, Girardi just did the post-game interview with a fake mustache on. That has to make sportscenter.

[TheMojoPin]

Beat the Rays is something everyone can get behind.

[Doctor Z]

Taking on the mighty Pirates tonight... Let's just hope Mussina doesn't go down for the season while rounding 3rd.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Taking on the mighty Pirates tonight... Let's just hope Mussina doesn't go down for the season while rounding 3rd.

Quite honestly, I would instruct Mussina not even to lift the bat off his shoulder. There's no reason to.

[TheGameHHH]

Is it possible for the Yankees to not face another lefty this season? If so I think they could win out.

[Kevin]

Is it possible for the Yankees to not face another lefty this season? If so I think they could win out.

Great lefty, good lefty, shitty left, all seem to be the same.

[Kevin]

Isssssssssss Goooooooooooood.

[Kevin]

Sigh.. Mojo's Clutchrod who hits 900 on the moon with runners on 850 on Mars with 2 on and 550 while looking at a sign in RF...


Fails to come through again..

[TheGameHHH]

big shot bob, two nights in a row

[TheGameHHH]

booooooooooooooooooooooo jose veras

[Kevin]

Well now, that was short lived..

[Doctor Z]

Is it just me or did Singleton jinx the shit out of Veras just then? From the start of the inning, all he did was talk about how awesome and untouchable Veras has been. Ken Jinxleton.

[Kevin]

Is it just me or did Singleton jinx the shit out of Veras just then? From the start of the inning, all he did was talk about how awesome and untouchable Veras has been. Ken Jinxleton.

I'm sure Sterling and Waldman did enough of that on the radio side.

[Doctor Z]

Can always count on the Yankees to do jack shit offensively against no-name pitchers. Unbelievable.

If we would just beat pitchers that EVERYONE ELSE beats, we'd be 15 games over .500 right now. What the fuck is this?

[A.J.]

Taking on the mighty Pirates tonight... Let's just hope Mussina doesn't go down for the season while rounding 3rd.

That WAS live? I was getting the Yanks-Pirates game on YES here in Thailand last night! I thought it was the jet lag!

[Kevin]

That WAS live? I was getting the Yanks-Pirates game on YES here in Thailand last night! I thought it was the jet lag!

Was the young lad in your room excited to see the Yankees play?

[BoondockSaint]

The Blue Jays played Lenny Kravitz over the PA while the Yankees took batting practice.

[Towelie]

The Blue Jays played Lenny Kravitz over the PA while the Yankees took batting practice.

Thats really fucking funny.

They really take the A-Rod hate to a new level in Canada.

[Kevin]

That was a shocker..

Arod makes an out with RISP..

That never happens..

[Kevin]

I think Jorge needs to stop catching..

What a great re signing that was..

[Bossanova]

I think Jorge needs to stop catching..

What a great re signing that was..

Seriously, who was the last catcher that did anything past 36 besides Fisk

[Kevin]

This team sucks

Carry on.

[cougarjake13]

Seriously, who was the last catcher that did anything past 36 besides Fisk



piazza is the first to come to mind

[BlackKen]

piazza is the first to come to mind

What did Piazza do legit after the age of 36

[cougarjake13]

What did Piazza do legit after the age of 36

while it wasnt like his glory days he still had very productive seasons



Year Ag Tm Lg G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI SB CS BB SO BA
2005 36 NYM NL 113 398 41 100 23 0 19 62 0 0 41 67 .251
2006 37 SDP NL 126 399 39 113 19 1 22 68 0 0 34 66 .283

[BlackKen]

68 rbi's is not very productive

[cougarjake13]

68 rbi's is not very productive

well except for 1985 where he had a massive year at 37 yrs old fisk didnt do much better than piazza's numbers either

[King Hippos Bandaid]

Jobber Chamberlain

[Kevin]

Jobber Chamberlain

Yea, 7 inn 2 (earned runs) 9ks is terrible. He should have 2 earned runs if it was not for a bullshit scoring. Jorge should have an error and it will prob be an error by the leauge.

2.65 era in the AL.. terrible.

[A.J.]

Was the young lad in your room excited to see the Yankees play?

Rude and rude!

Got the Yanks-Jays game this morning. It was something at least.

Did he count the lights or did he count the lights?

Joba's clubhouse nickname should be Iron Mike Sharpe.

Love teh Halladay...been winning me fantasy championships for the last five years.

Not his fault his offense is Gay.

[Kevin]

Double Play Jeter almost did it again.

Lucky Scutero sucks.

[TheGameHHH]

m blocked out of this game, so gay.

[Kevin]

m blocked out of this game, so gay.

Why? Its not fox..

By the way, Jeter hit a tailor made dp to scutero with the bases loaded 1 out, but scotero booted it..

i dont know why but sometimes MLB Extra Innings likes to not show Saturday day games. its very odd.

[Towelie]

i dont know why but sometimes MLB Extra Innings likes to not show Saturday day games. its very odd.

They aren't allowed to broadcast any games until the 3:55 FOX games are over.

MLB.tv does, but Extra Innings doesn't.

Its the horseshit blackout rules that the MLB sold to FOX

Although next year with the launch of the baseball channel there will be no more blackouts for anyone.

[RingWraith]

It's funny how Latroy Hawkins is regulated to the "janitor/maintenance" role. I guess every bullpen has a pitcher who only enters a game in blowouts.

[lleeder]

I'm sure Boston and Tampa will win tonight. :thumbdown:

[Kevin]

Of course they will

[MojoTeddybear]

R.I.P. Bobby Murcer one of the true gentelmen of the game :sad:

oh shit theres gonna be a mlb network ???

sweet hopefully my cable provider gets it

[RingWraith]

I'm sure Boston and Tampa will win tonight. :thumbdown:

At least one of them did. It's funny how many times this year a Yankee loss happens when Boston and/or Rays lose. And when the Yankees win, especially win a couple in a row, the Red Sox/Rays win a bunch.


Rest in Peace Bobby!!! I already miss ya!!!

[TheGameHHH]

Rest In Peace Mr. Murcer...............thank you for everything you've done

[Kevin]

We are down 4-0 to a linup that has the imortal Rod Barajas, as cleanup..

I say that is a good way to going into the ASB...

[Tenbatsuzen]

You are a fucking homo.

[Bossanova]

You are a fucking homo.

HAHAHA

[Kevin]

You are a fucking homo.

..... um..Yea...

[Tenbatsuzen]

..... um..Yea...

I'm serious, it's like BDC left and his worst qualities were re-distributed to some of the posters here. ("AP" comes to mind)

Let me talk like Snoogans:

NO ONE CALLS IT THE ASB. IT'S EITHER THE BREAK OR THE ALL STAR BREAK, YOU FUCKING HOMO

[Tenbatsuzen]

HAHAHA

I was in left field bleachers for the Home Run Derby. Had great view of Hamilton's bombs. Anyone know his contract situation? When can Hank bring him to the Bronx?

[Kevin]

I bet he does...

ALL NIGHT LONG.. OHHHHH.

[BoondockSaint]

Sounds like the Yanks are bringing in Big Sexy.

Yanks sign Sexson and solve all their problems. (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3493648)

this makes me want to cry

[JerseyRich]

The Yanks have supposedly just signed Richie Sexson for the remainder of the year.

I'm sure he was nice and cheap.

A 6'8" first baseman that kills lefty pitchers...We'll see how it goes.

they got him for like 330k, pro-rated

[Kevin]

No bigie.. If he sucks he is gone if he doesnt, he will stay..

The man did hit 344 vs lefties this year, and lord knows we need someone who can hit lefties.

[TheGameHHH]

Look at the fearful 5-9 $200 million buys you:

Sexson, Cano, Melky, Molina, Gardner.

im thankful ill be on a plane for this gem

[Kevin]

It s really is embarrassing him much Cashman has mismanaged those funds. We should be light years ahead of every team with the gap in payroll.

[PhishermanEto]

I love having Sexson. *Fez laughs wildly*
Seattle can't have Sexson anymore. *Fez falls off his chair*
Having Sexson should give the yankees more power. *Fezzy begs to stop, he can't breathe*

Sorry, I was listening to the old Andy Dick bit and couldn't resist.

[Kevin]

I was watching that commercial where everyone says he has an edge..
How many Hispanics do you see driving around a fucking yellow cab in the city??
Fucking Anti Arab bastards.

[Doctor Z]

Oh my... God.
Did anyone else just witness that Phiten commercial with Joba Chamberlain?

That was the most early-90's commercial I've seen since 1990.

[TheGameHHH]

Oh my... God.

Who Joba? He's got an Edge.

opps, wrong commercial. my bad.

[Doctor Z]

2nd & 3rd, no one out, heart of the order... 3 straight strikeouts?

That's some inexcusable shit.

[Kevin]

2nd & 3rd, no one out, heart of the order... 3 straight strikeouts?

And this is what happens when you strand 12 runners over 6 innings.

[Kevin]

And this is what happens when you strand 12 runners over 6 innings.

Another well pitched Joba game that the offense has not come through for.

[BoondockSaint]

Another well pitched Joba game that the offense has not come through for.

It's really becoming a problem, Singy.

[Neckbeard]

Yo, I'm ready if you guys need me to go in. I throw and tackle better than Farnsworth, and get twice as drunk while being five times as ugly.

[Doctor Z]

Mo in a non-save = trouble

But another stellar performance from our juggernaut offense today... completely wasting a solid performance by Joba and the bullpen, stranding what, 14 runners? What a fucking disaster.

[Kevin]

Can we not let awful armed Jorge catch anymore? God what an awful signing that was.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Does anyone else see the problem of the second major endorsement for a kid who's battled weight problems his entire life to be DUNKIN DONUTS?!?!

[Tenbatsuzen]

That Cano and Betemit are a bunch of fucking bums.

[Kevin]

Cano is an avg player

[Bossanova]

Sexon is a really goofy looking bastard in pin stripes. Well aways actually

Offense is really tearing the cover off the ball again, as usual.

At least this kids a good pitcher. Usually they don't hit guys that are making their first start.

[JPMNICK]

Giambi with a nice home run after being walked twice this game

[Doctor Z]

MOLINA with the final play of the game AGAIN!

I don't see how Posada can complain about not catching with Molina throwing the way he is.

Yea, fuck your fucking pride, you are making 15mil a year, suck it up, your arm sucks.

[Kevin]

Another dominating day by the offense.


Lets just say that, this wont fly these next 2 days.

These are 3 big WC games vs the twins. This fucking offense needs to step up with Ponson and Rasner pitching.

3 game win streak, actually.

I meant to say you even have to whine after a win but the negativity somehow polluted my post.

[Kevin]

I meant to say you even have to whine after a win but the negativity somehow polluted my post.

Its being a realist and seeing that you got away with scoring no runs because the offense you were playing is God awful. Stay sober for like 3 minutes, then you would realize that.

If you can't enjoy a win then why watch at all. There will be plenty losses that I can feel shitty about later on in the year. And I wasn't playing in any of those games so don't knock my offense. Oh yea fuck your mother too.

[Bossanova]

i didn't even notice you said "loss" i knew you meant win and that's how i saw it.

and great avatar, kevin. :lol:

[Bossanova]

I doubt they can but I'll take it one at a time.

Trust me, 15 games ago I had the same approach with the Mets

They also beat a guy with a sub 2 ERA and pretty nice record but I guess that shit don't matter either.

[Kevin]

Which is true, but they have been getting shutdown by less than great pitchers.. Their offense has been not bad, but AWFUL for like a month now.

Sailor, i recently watched the movie and read the books again, so when you kept saying i am negative, i thought of him right away.

Oh, BTW... 4.5, BETCHES!

We comin' for that NUMBA ONE SPOOOTTTTT!!!

Redsox Suck.

[A.J.]

Redsox Suck.

At holding on to first place? Yeah.

[JPMNICK]

i do not think the redsox or the Yankee's suck, but this year especially, they both are closer to a mediocre team then anytime in the past 10 years. Finally, their glaring issues that they have on paper are translating more to on field issues then in previous seasons.

plus the Rays are all on steroids and doing coke and uppers and poison the water of the opponents

[Doctor Z]

I read about that. It's really a shame.

[TheGameHHH]

I love this, the day they get Damon back Posada heads to the DL and looks to be out all season. If this keeps up im gonna get all Spoon on this team and blame their poor play on injuries.

if possible i could see them scoring -1

I gotta admit the yankees have been on fire lately, they are playing really really well

A Certain AVG player is also on fire..



And this ump is being a douche tonight.

That is all.

Did kyle farnsworth get good or did everybody else in the league get worse? its gotta be the latter right?

[Kevin]

Well, he has a manager who actually has faith in him, and knows how to fucking manage a bullpen.'


You see that stat where none of the Yankee rp are in the top 15 in innings pitched?

How many did they have against Torre.. 5 in the top 5?

And how shitty must you feel if you are Rasner. Pitch a great game and one bullshit call at 1st, costs you the win. Robertson throws 1 pitch and gets the win.

yea, i saw those stats and its awesome. i was quite impressed.

but seriously, faith in farnsworth? its mind-boggling.

[JPMNICK]

dear oracle

when will brett gardner start to hit?

thanks for the quick reply

[Kevin]

yea, i saw those stats and its awesome. i was quite impressed.

but seriously, faith in farnsworth? its mind-boggling.

Well, He caught him in Chi town so..

Farnsworth Problem is not stuff. Its always been that he gets nerourse.

Obviously he has settled down and is pitching with ease.

We will see if he keeps it up during crunch time though...

[FezsAssistant]

My biggest problem with Torre was his complete inability to manage a bullpen.
Girardi is doing a fine job so far. This includes spreading out the work, not ruining pitchers (like Torre did with Gordon, Sturze, Proctor, Villone, Vizcaino...the list goes on and on...) and being open to using younger guys from the minor leagues. Torre had no idea who was in the minors and what they could do.

[Doctor Z]

Couldn't have said it better myself, FA.

Also...
3.5, NUKKA!

[Knowledged_one]

A Certain AVG player is also on fire..

Yeah i have noticed Cano is on fire as well, and Abreu just hit his first homerun in 79 AB's

Hey at least give me the credit that i can admit when i am wrong about something

[Kevin]

Yes, definitely. Unlike some others, you are fair with your criticism and admit you are wrong.

[Doctor Z]

Rookie lefty and Mussina's pitching well... OF COURSE we're not scoring runs.

[Doctor Z]

Wow, A-Rod missed that HR by about a foot. And Cano continues to be red hot... 6th multi-hit game in a row for him. (See what happens when I complain? I'll make sure to post the Yogi picture next time. 60% of the time, it works every time.)

Oh, and Mussina is officially filthy.

[JPMNICK]

Mussina has some NASTY movement on his pitches this season, and he is keeping them all low. he looks great. if he was having a bad year, the yanks would be in dead last place. well, maybe toronto would keep them out....

[Kevin]

Moose has been amazing. What a bone head play by that 2b. You have to know how many outs there are.

[Freitag]

Great. Now give me some baked goods.

[Kevin]

Time to make the donuts

[ChrisTheCop]

The battle begins on Friday!!
I like when our games mean something, and this time, they definitely do,
thanks to your many recent victories!

I sure hope Beckett can stop the streak.

See ya then!!!

[cougarjake13]

moose wins 20

yanks miss playoffs

its possible

[FezsAssistant]

I was soooo wrong about Moose and Giambi. I wanted them both traded away before the season started. Where would we be without them this year? I'm a dummy, I suppose.

Has anyone heard a word about Hughes?

[Kevin]

Worry about your team, we will cruise at least the WC.

[TheGameHHH]

This is extremely interesting, it's called Net Baserunning Gain:

“It’s simply how many extra bases beyond average a player gains. For example, a runner goes first to third on a single about 30 percent of the time. The average is three out of ten. If a given player goes five out of ten, he is +2. We look at all the situations like this, scoring from first on a double, scoring from second on a single, and so on and so forth. If a player is thrown out on the bases, he receives a triple penalty (-3). And we count stolen bases, but it’s only a plus if it’s better than a success rate of two out of three (67 percent).

It makes a difference. The top ten baserunning teams are a collective 58 games over .500 and the bottom ten are 51 games under .500.

Here are the best (and worst) baserunning teams so far this year:

Best
Mets +77
Phillies +76
Rangers +74
Marlins +61
Rockies +58

Worst
Cardinals -22
Yankees -27
Padres -32
Orioles -36
Nationals -47

(The Yankees were at +64 last season, the seventh-best in baseball.)"

Apparently Hughes is one or two bullpen sessions away from getting into a minor league game. Where he goes from there remains to be seen.



Did I just BDC this place up or what?

I hear Austin Jackson has been sucking ass in tripple A.

[Kevin]

Actually its AA and he seems to have picked it up..

His BA is up to 297 from like 260 last time i checked, and his OPS is 831..

His power isn't there yet with only 9hrs though..

[TheGameHHH]

you watch your mouth when talking about A-Jax................the man can do no wrong

[Kevin]

you watch your mouth when talking about A-Jax................the man can do no wrong

Austin Jackson has blown past Tabata as the best outfield prospect in the Yankees system. Tabata is well ahead of the traditional development path as a 19-year-old in Double-A, but he has hurt his cause by continuing to have problems with minor injuries and immaturity. He has rebounded from a slow start, though his overall .248/.320/.310 numbers, including just three homers in 79 games, leave a lot to be desired.

I wonder how much of that has to do with Bobby "Send 'Em Home" Meacham? I almost forgot what it was like to have a horrid 3rd base coach. Bowa was so good the last few years that it slipped my mind how noticeably bad Willie Randolph was in his first season or two. Even going baack to Willie, though, I can't remember the last time I saw so many Yankee baserunners thrown out by so far that you know there's no way they should have been waved around 3rd.

right, thats pretty much the point of the stat.......Bobby Meacham is killing them out there.

and "Send 'Em Home" was the nickname for Sojo when he coached there, not Meacham.

the guys they gave up dont bother me, but im not sure how much they really need Nady.

damons was/is hurt ... matsui's hurt


cant hurt to have nady

[Kevin]

Have you been watching this team?

Nady is what they needed. A good not great hitter that just hits.L F for us has been awful

[HBox]

They really fell off the cliff with their opinion on Tabata. I don't like giving up on a guy who just turned 20.

[Kevin]

He really became a head case. Wanted to be released in the winter, had to be talked back into coming. And his #s have been terrible.

[TheGameHHH]

i agree, and after thinking it over on the whole i like the deal. they didnt give up too much and i like both Nady and Marte.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Does Phil Coke come with Tom BRady?

[Kevin]

YEEEEEEEEEA BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOY!

1 game behind in the loss!!

[lleeder]

That was sweet. Tense. Still sweet.

[Kevin]

They need to score more runs though:tongue:

[badorties]

they'll score 9 runs tomorrow, and 2 on sunday

[JPMNICK]

that was a great game. Joba really stepped it up in a huge game.

he is going to be a great #1 starter for them one day.

also i think they said in the game tonight Kennedy is ready to come back up, that should be interested

[Kevin]

I was just watching Baseball tonight. Buster Olney said that GMs around the league are KILLING the Pirates. They are calling this deal a heist.

they are saying the pirates are not getting enough in return? the minor league guys being sent over are pretty decent

[TheMojoPin]

they are saying the pirates are not getting enough in return? the minor league guys being sent over are pretty decent

One very young guy with a VERY high ceiling and a few guys who have a long shot of being decent at best. As it stands right now, the Yanks made out like bandits in this one. Nady is a really solid hitter and fielder and Marte definitely is a big boost to the bullpen. Excellent trade by the Yankees.

[badorties]

they are saying the pirates are not getting enough in return? the minor league guys being sent over are pretty decent

the top prospect has falling from grace at the AA level, and had some issues that resulted in a suspensio

[Kevin]

they are saying the pirates are not getting enough in return? the minor league guys being sent over are pretty decent

Yea, GMs are saying, that all they gave up? Tabata has REALLY slipped. Austin Jackson has blown past him. He wanted to quite in the offseason but was talked out of it. Oledorf is young but was terrible in his stint here.
