2009 New York Yankees Season Discussion

[JerseySean]

you need to do what i did, come to peace with them not playing in october. everything becomes a little easier when you realize you dont have to get excited cause the games dont matter. just start looking for bright spots and hopefuls for next season, like a full year of Nady for instance. thats something to get excited about.

Hard day today

[King Hippos Bandaid]

way to go Double Play-Rod

[TheGameHHH]

13-15 in august this year, way to shit the bed fellas

[Kevin]

13-15 in august this year, way to shit the bed fellas

Yea, best playoff push ever.

[TheGameHHH]

Yea, best playoff push ever.

exciting prospect number 2 for 2009: Aceves.

[Kevin]

exciting prospect number 2 for 2009: Aceves.

I say fuck this noise. I want to See Hughes Kennedy and whom ever else who they think could help next year, for the entire month of September. Fuck this winning delusion. They are done. Fuck Sidney Ponson, fuck. Rasner. Give Gardner the full leadoff and CF job for the rest of sept also. I don't want to see these fat cat overpaid losers anymore.

Work for next year.

[cougarjake13]

exciting prospect number 2 for 2009: Aceves.

you forgot the linky BDC





oh its you game ... sorry

[Kevin]

Aceves dominated that one inning. we went into the year wanting to develop our young pitchers, and as you saw there, we clearly have.

So i deem this year a success.

[TheGameHHH]

you forgot the linky BDC





oh its you game ... sorry

oh low blow

[RingWraith]

Just wondering....

Since A-Rod is only an awesome MVP player every two years (Odd years), and next year is 2009.
Who would you like to see batting behind A-Rod? I say (dare I say!) bring Manny Ramirez and have him bat in the 5th spot since Giambi will be gone next year.
Manny will definitely be a much bigger heel in a Yankee uniform.
What do you fellow Yankee fans think?

[HBox]

All that's left is extending Pavano and Giambi long term.

[mdr55]

The New Yankee Stadium: the house that Arod built. They were talking about that on 1050 the other day.

[Doctor Z]

If it's the house that A-Rod built, it should COLLAPSE UNDER PRESSURE! OOOOHHH!!!!

http://img3.harmony-central.com/acapella/ubb/rimshot.gif

[brettmojo]

It really is the house that Steinbrenner built, since he paid for the whole thing. But I'll give the credit to Jeter.

[TheGameHHH]

im so ready for a 13 run game for the yanks and then 3 days of getting their asses handed to them by the Rays

[zildjian361]

Enjoy it while we can.:drunk::wink:

[TheGameHHH]

Enjoy it while we can.:drunk::wink:

theres no way i can put enjoy and 2008 yankees baseball in the same thought. instead i prefer the word "settle"

HHH settle for the over 13 is not enough. keep the faith bro:drunk::tongue:

[Kevin]

IIIIIIIII don't know about Giambi..

He wants 7 years at 20 per...

I am not sure if i wanna offer more that 5 at 15..

Anything more, i feel would be iffy..

[hammersavage]

You, sir, are not bold enough to face the challenges this team faces!

[Kevin]

You, sir, are not bold enough to face the challenges this team faces!

Its not the money that bothers me.. Sure he is an Mvp player now, and will prob be for a long time. But i think he only has 5 years left. He will be hitting like 250 in the 6th 7th year. we cant afford to be spending that much money on a player hitting 250.. That would be just stupid..

I am willing to go 5 at 30 to make up the difference in money.

Even if he takes re working Arod's deal and give him more per to make him happy.

WE NEED TO KEEP THIS CLUTCH BIG GAME TANDEM IN TACT!!

you cant get rid of the statche

pay him what he needs to keep that stache in the style its accustomed to

[Epschtein]

i cant believe the friggin yankees are going to miss the playoffs :(

so, which players are definitely not on the roster at the start of next season?

[JerseySean]

i cant believe the friggin yankees are going to miss the playoffs :(

Melky Cabrera
If they can trade him which I doubt, Cano
Maybe Abreu.
Pudge

They dont have a lot of wiggle room. Unless they sign Texiera, I think Giambi will actually come back.

Mussina will be back along with Pettite and Joba.

[JPMNICK]

giambi is gone for sure

[Kevin]

giambi is gone for sure

BLASPHEMER!

[JPMNICK]

Melky will get traded, but his value is basically 1/2 of what it was last off season. Cano might be on the block too.

Pettite will come back for 1 more year and so will moose. I think Pavano gets a 1 year deal too.

[JimBeam]

How do you give pavao an extension ?

I don't care if he goes 6-0 this year he's still not worthy of an extension.

Why would you trade Cano, and if it's because it seems like he's playing below that you thought you got w/ the new contract, what makes you think another team would want that same issue ?

You give Pavano a 1-year deal way below market value with incentives with a club options for above market value down the road.

I KNOW he stole money. But so did Kei Igawa. Unlike Igawa, there's a lot of potential there. Guy's only 32 and he's coming back from Tommy John.

[TheGameHHH]

im honestly thinking of quitting this thread because of the silly speculation about Pavano comming back next season. ITS NOT HAPPENING. everybody, from management on down, hates the guy.

[JPMNICK]

if he pitches great the rest of the season you do not think that they will sign him as an insurance policy? i heard the same thing about arod and how no one wanted him

Half of nothing is pretty bad.

Cashman seems to stick with him for some reason (not sure why), Girardi never dealt with him. The only people after that are "clubhouse leaders" - which basically boils down to DJ and Jorge.

[TheGameHHH]

Cashman stuck with him because of his lack of value to other clubs. trust me if the giants came calling with a Lincecum for Pavano deal Cashman would have dealt him in a second. As for "clubhouse leaders" we all heard Moose basically call out Pavano and his lack of commitment to the team, he was speaking for everybody in the club house.

[TheGameHHH]

if he pitches great the rest of the season you do not think that they will sign him as an insurance policy? i heard the same thing about arod and how no one wanted him

Are you really comparing Pavano and A-Rod? Just think about the absurdity of that for a moment.........after you let it sink in you can continue reading. Now let's think about this rationally. Should the Yankees sign a man (for insurance) that literally stole 40 million dollars from them or should the go after a man like Sabathia, Sheets or Burnett and have a rotation that consists of one of them followed by Wang, Joba, Moose, Pettitte, Hughes?

i see your point. and of course they should go after all of them. but for 2 million dollars what would it hurt to keep me around for an injury situation.

[Kevin]

Pavano said that Cashman actually made it a point to go see Pavano a few times in Fla and he claims that is the reason he came back..

Now will Cashman be here next year, that is another question

And the Lincecume argument is silly. Of course he would have traed Pavano for him. He would have traded anyone not named Joba for him.

[Doctor Z]

I hear the Twins will be asking for Hughes, Kennedy, and Melky for Santana.

[Kevin]

I hear the Twins will be asking for Hughes, Kennedy, and Melky for Santana.

Thats a stupid deal.

[TheGameHHH]

wow, bj upton just made an incredible catch

[zildjian361]

got tickets ther's nobody in the fucking seats:drunk::smoke::wallbash:

[Kevin]

Hey guys, i just woke up from a coma, i have been in it since April 1st.. I am watching the Yankee game they said 1 team is 5.5 games in 1st place and the other team is in 3rd, 11 games out or something. Those Rays are making progress to be in 3rd and only be 11 games back of the 1st place Yankees this late in the season.

They are progressing very well.

They are going to challange us and Boston in no time!

[brettmojo]

Nady, wow... He's really been a bright spot. I hope he sticks around.

[zildjian361]

got tickets ther's nobody in the fucking seats:drunk::smoke::wallbash:

we never say never, we might not catch them but the will Respect Us .:drunk::clap:X man

[Doctor Z]

I'm sorry, call me a Ned Nitpicker if you want... but Robinson Cano JOGGING home just now bugs me. I don't care how obvious it is that you're gonna make it home safely, hustle the fuck home. You don't need to book it home full-tilt or slide, as Damon's hit was clearly in the gap and good for extra bases... but when Damon is rounding 2nd, and you're still jogging home from 3rd, you need to pick up the fucking pace.

Cano = Soriano.

[Doctor Z]

Minus the 40/40 production.

[TheGameHHH]

Cano = Soriano.

wrong, the proper algebraic formula is Soriano > Cano

[ChrisTheCop]

What he said.

Well, except for wearing the Yankee shirt.

Yeah. I just realized that I gave my one and only yankee shirt to charity last week,
as part of my everything must go pre-move cleanout.

I could wear the official jersey that used to have Damon on it, til he sold out and i ripped out the stitching... hmm...I gotta celebrate the yankees somehow today.

Anyway, Go Get em Pavano! He's a God right?

[A.J.]

Anyway, Go Get em Pavano! He's a God right?

Perhaps for fucking Alyssa Milano.

[ChrisTheCop]

Perhaps for fucking Alyssa Milano.

A god in my book then! AND... this is fate I tell ya! The one box of charity stuff I didnt take out yet, is the box with the yankee shirt!! I'm doing it!!

It's Yankee Day in Red Sox Nation!!!!!!!!!!

(I'm gonna miss you fuckers in the post season; but at least you can help us get there!)

[TheGameHHH]

why not let him pitch simulated games during the playoffs to get his innings up?

that or send him to fall ball

[JPMNICK]

that or send him to fall ball

if they made the playoffs he would have been pitching anyway. then he might have hit the innings

[drjoek]

So we've gone to an "off season" thread now?

i feel sorry for you

[Snoogans]

i feel sorry for you

how many games lead over Philly do they need before you are a lifelong mets fan?

[TheMojoPin]

Snoogans, you need to focus all your attention on your boys catchin up to the Diamondbacks.

[TheGameHHH]

how many games lead over Philly do they need before you are a lifelong mets fan?

at least 15 games cause if they aren't a clear cut winner then i cant root for them

[Kevin]

Snoogans, you need to focus all your attention on your boys catchin up to the Diamondbacks.

All that wheat grass is clouding his judgment..

[TheGameHHH]

how come it seems like every other team in the league has athletic outfielders yet we're stuck with sub par outfielders? as much as i love Nady ill be the first to admit he's a slow, lumbering white man. the yankees need more bj uptons

[Kevin]

[TheGameHHH]

I think Nady is Latin...

so not the point, but if he is i stand corrected

[BoondockSaint]

Those of you with DirecTv, is there anyway to turn off the annoying Redsox update you get?

[lleeder]

Good thing I held off on asking if they might try to bring back Pavano. That was a bomb.

Stop it.

[lleeder]

Grand slam or 2 run double?

But I just discovered it recently.

fair enough, right before we jump off the brooklyn bridge at the end of the season we'll get knee deep in the devils dandruff one final time

[Kit the Eskimo]

First use of instant replay on the A-Rod monster shot

[Doctor Z]

Why did they even need it there? It clearly ricocheted off the foul pole.

They just felt like trying it out.

[Kit the Eskimo]

Why did they even need it there? It clearly ricocheted off the foul pole.

They just felt like trying it out.

It went off the catwalk behind the foul pole. It was a big spot in the game, it went from being a close game to a 5 run lead so I can see why they did it.

[ChrisTheCop]

Damn you, making me think this was a different thread so I'd spend 15 minutes using the search function to find the yankees thread! YOU CANT HIDE FROM ME!!!!

Anywho.. It worked out great, I wore my usual Red Sox attire during their afternoon game and at 7pm, changed into the yankee shirt. Even though I wore a Sox cap with it, the guys at work were shocked-- 2 of them even took pics of me with their cellphones.

But it was all worth it, wasnt it? Thank you yankee fans, thank you yankees. :clap::clap::clap:

shake it up!

Also-- I am no longer donating that short to charity. I'm keeping it for next year.

Andy Pettitte vs. pitcher making his first major league start

Clearly, the advantage goes to the Mariners.

How can anyone seriously not want the Yankees no-hit here? I will be overjoyed.

odd interest for me tonight, semi-final round in my fantasy playoffs and im starting garland tonight. i got a nice outing from lester so im kinda pulling for garland to shut down the yanks tonight.

[Tenbatsuzen]

I'm tapping out. I give up on this shit for this year. I will go pay my respects to the Stadium one last time next week. At this points, it's an Alzeimer's patient, that you just hope he goes quietly without a lot of pain.

[Babe Rahamlincoln]

I guess it's time for me to ASSASSINATE myself!

[JerseyRich]

Friday and Saturday I'll be at the Stadium...but not to watch a baseball game...

yeh thats what i figured it'd be

[TheGameHHH]

yeh thats what i figured it'd be

of course, everybody knows Joe Torre sucks. hes lazy and not fiery enough, he can't properly motivate the team. thankfully we have girardi, he's a real spark plug. he's going to lead this scrappy group of players right to the play.......oh, wait. nevermind

[TheGameHHH]

man, do they offer pettitte a contract next season?

[HBox]

man, do they offer pettitte a contract next season?

I didn't think they would offer him a contract next year even if he pitched well.

[TheGameHHH]

I didn't think they would offer him a contract next year even if he pitched well.

Moose pitched well and probably earned himself a contract next year because of it, and he was DREADFUL last year. If Pettitte pitched well why wouldnt they offer him one too?

[brettmojo]

They absolutely bring Pettitte back next year. Right now the only sure spots in the rotation, assuming Mussina returns, is Moose and Wang. They bring back Pettitte back and it's Wang, Mussina, Pettitte and more than likely they bring in Sabathia... Then they make Hughes, Kennedy, Aceves etc. fight it out for the 5th spot. That is of course if they stick to the plan of keeping Joba in the bullpen... Which is fucking retarded.

[TheGameHHH]

They absolutely bring Pettitte back next year. Right now the only sure spots in the rotation, assuming Mussina returns, is Moose and Wang. They bring back Pettitte back and it's Wang, Mussina, Pettitte and more than likely they bring in Sabathia... Then they make Hughes, Kennedy, Aceves etc. fight it out for the 5th spot. That is of course if they stick to the plan of keeping Joba in the bullpen... Which is fucking retarded.

they only plan on keeping Joba in the pen to start the season, he'll be converted just like he was this year even probably around the same time so he'll spend majority of the season as a starter barring injury. Injury free the rotation could/should look like this come mid-May......Sabathia, Wang, Joba, Moose, ??????. Personally I would love for ????? to be Ben Sheets but signing bth Sabathia and Sheets just isn't a possibility.

I'd rather have Sheets. He should have been a Yankee already.

[TheMojoPin]

Sabathia is going out west. Book it.

I'd bet good money the Yanks end up with Sheets.

Is it just me or is Sheets a bit overrated ?

I don't think he is at all. The big issue is his health, but when he's not on the DL and not hurt, he's nasty.

Sheets is a good pitcher but he's always hurt. I dont understand how you could possibily want him over Sabathia.

Yeah i know its gonna be a shame when the Orioles close out Yankees stadium with a sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep

Just curious for the yankees fans have you guys been following at all the governments investigation into the new stadium getting built, and the yankees passing on the costs of a lot of things onto the taxpayers?

Do you think its worth paying the tax money for the new stadium?

Nice words from Curt Schilling on The Captain:

Anyone that knows Shonda and I knows what Lou Gehrig the name, and the legacy mean to us. So seeing any player mentioned in the same breath usually brings some anxiety now a days. But last night Derek Jeter passed Lou Gehrig for the all time career hits mark in Yankee stadium. I am not sure I can think of a player more befitting this honor. From day one the guy has competed hard and always played the game right, not an easy task in New York city.

I can think of no one I enjoyed competing in the biggest games against more than Derek. He never gave away an at bat and never played the game at anything less than his best. Stat heads and non-Yankee fans can rant and scream about ‘intangibles’ or range factor but I had the honor of seeing him live and watching his impact on his team, and mine, for close to 10 years, and it mattered. What a great way to see the closing of Yankee stadium go with this record making headlines (http://38pitches.com/).

[TheGameHHH]

Nice words from Curt Schilling on The Captain:

did that really come from Schilling? cause im pretty sure he's incapable of saying nice things about other people, especially a Yankee. plus, how did he not turn the statement into something about him?

He did. Shonda is his wife and the first statement is a reference to Shilling's ALS charity work.

Can I ask a completely unrelated question?

I wore a Yankees hat and a Jets jersey to the game last night. Although it was primarily because I didn't have any Yankee shirts I wanted to wear to the game.

I saw some giants stuff there; not a lot of Jets stuff.

I got some cheers from people and J-E-T-S chants, but I overheard one guy muttering "Who the fuck would wear a Jets jersey to Yankees stadium?"

I turned around and said, "It's football season, deal."

Now, is it a faux pas to wear a football jersey to a baseball stadium when it's Football season? I mean, I saw people wearing Red Sox shit there last night and they weren't even playing!

I think its fine, and i am with you wearing the red sox jersey is way worse. I hate went i went to redskins games and they would be plyaing the eagles and there would be people with Broncos or Raiders jerseys on

As far as i go it seems fine to me

[TheMojoPin]

I've seen a lot of crossover in Boston but, personally, I only wear a team jersey to the event which said team is actually playing.

I think it depends on where you are. In Boston, the only football team is the Patriots. Here, it's only the Bears, so crossover between baseball and football in cities like that doesn't come down to a couple teams like NY has.

That said, Tenbats shouldn't have been wearing a football jersey because outside of playing football or going to a football game, football jerseys somehow manage to look incredibly gay and incredibly hideous at the same time.

[Tenbatsuzen]

A lot of people were touching the rafters as they left tonight.

My friend pulled off a paint chip and gave it to me, but I had no connection to that... I felt a lot better with the pictures that *I* took of the stadium. Pictures that I have a personal connection to mean a lot more, for some reason.

I would buy seats from the stadium if they were sanely priced - like the mets - but I'm not putting down a fucking mortgage payment for two seats from Yankee Stadium.

It was weird weather last night - very warm to start, and cool at the end of the night. Too warm for a sweatshirt, not warm enough for unlayered short sleeves.

Just as a personal opinion i think its silly to wear a Jets jersey to a Yankees game. I'm not really sure I can explain why I feel the way I feel about it but it just looks stupid to me because it has no real relevance to the game your watching or the teams playing. You might as well wear a Colts jersey or a Florida Panthers jersey and that would look just as dumb. There's nothing I hate more then watching like a Cubs/Brewers game on ESPN and seeing some dude wearing a Chargers jersey.

[cougarjake13]

wearing a football jersey of an nfl team to an mlb is retarded but not as much as wearing another baseball teams jersey that isnt playing at that game

I remember going to a Yankees/Mets game at Yankee Stadium and someone came to the bleachers wearing a freaking Atlanta Braves Jersey. I guess some people just really really attention.

[drjoek]

Curt Shilling is a fat fuck who has nothing to say but constantly continues to speak. I could care less if he actually said something positive. He's an asshole.

[drjoek]

I am on my way tomorrow for my regular Friday game then I'm lucky enough to be going Sunday night. My Friday package got a preonsale for final game tix so I will be there for the final game. I have the honor of having been to the first game after the renovations and now will be there for the last. I found my old ticket stub and will make a nice little momento piece with both tix.

[Doctor Z]

So, a while back I mentioned that I was at WHAT I BELIEVED TO BE my last game at Yankee Stadium. Little did I know how horribly mistaken I was.

As it turns out, I was at this past Monday's game. I will also be attending this Saturday's game... and...

Sunday's game.

Yes.

I just dropped $185 (that I don't have), to be at the final game ever played in Yankee Stadium. I am wearing a tux to the game, and I am fucking psyched.

Tenbats this is for you from the great Peter Abraham on his blog tonight:

"Like a good American, I stand up for God Bless America. But I usually look down to see what jerseys people have on.

This one guy had on a No. 19 Keyshawn Johnson Jets jersey. Somebody else had a Kei Igawa blue t-shirt. If that is what you have to wear, you need to stay home."

I read that too. But there's a difference between wearing a keyshawn jersey and wearing a Chrebet jersey. Keyshawn played for 2 more teams past the Jets and he's not looked back as a popular Jet.

Chrebet, meanwhile, is one of the most popular Jets of all time.

Everyone has homers nowadays. The radio team is really bad, but I think that's more because Waldman is so terrible. If Sterling had a better partner than Waldman, his game would be raised. I've said it before, Charley Steiner and Sterling were a great pairing, they just hated each other.

And as for the TV voices, Kay is the weakest link. Singleton will always be better, and their player analysts are top notch, including O'Neill, Cone, and Leiter.

I've come around on Michael Kay a lot this season, I'm not sure why either. I have to give him credit because he has ripped into the Yankees a few times pubicly and he's been repremanded for it by Yankee brass.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Al Lieter is the best Yankee announcer.

Best analyst. Has a good voice and has good stuff to say. Cone's voice is too weird, and O'Neill is OK.

yea i totally agree, you can only say so many things during a baseball game. one thing i hate is having to wacth Al Leiter show the viewers how to throw a curve ball 75 times a season but i know he's doing it for people that are watching for the first time and not me. nonetheless it bothers me so i see how any person can anger you over the course of a full season, or several seasons for that matter.

hey.. when I first met Willie Randolph he was playing for the Yankees. still one of my favorite baseball memories of all time!

Just seems a little strange.

Not tha they should be doing it here, but it sucks with baseball now tha after a big game is done the cops have to come out and block the crowd. I look at the clips of the crowds streaming onto the field after a huge win over the years with envy.
