New York Yankees Thread - 2009 World Champions

[JerseyRich]

this is kinda weird/interesting.

I used my credit card once at the New Stadium, paid for everything else in cash. For some reason, the charge I had at the stadium showed up as "pending" and then vanished. It's been over a week later, charge still hasn't shown up.

Also, when I was at the stadium, I paid in cash for a bunch of stuff. The person taking more order saw my reaction to the total and then knocked six bucks off.

What was the "bunch of stuff" specifically?

Just curious

[Thebazile78]

Food and beer.

[JerseyRich]

What do the beers run at the new Stadium?

I'm goin to a game in a few weeks and just wondering how much cash I should bring with me.

It'll be a Monday night game vs. the Rays...and I'll be hungry too. Do they still have the sausage guys outside with their carts?

[Aggie]

I hate you. Have fun

I hate you too but I can't live with or without you.

Remember to take pics of you and some of the game...

Not just A Rod's ass.:happy:

I'm a Jeter girl, screw ARod and his bitch titties! It's times like this I wish I had a really nice camera and not my generic little digital that barely zooms. Kat or Rich want to ship me their cameras for the night?????

I think you need tenbats camera for that job

[JerseyRich]

I think you need tenbats for that job

He's a fan of Jeter's ass too.

[TripleSkeet]

Wait, a Phillies fan is slamming OTHER people's parks for being a bandbox?

Im the first to admit our park is too small too. We actually dont like it being that small. The first year they opened it the fans ripped the dimensions so bad they moved the left field fence back. And Yankee Stadium is even smaller then ours.

[Freitag]

Those pics were taken at my Wife's request. Incidentally, they are the highest viewed pics on my flickr account.

12 oz draft domestic (Bud Light or Coors Light) in a plastic solo cup runs 6 bucks.

24 oz draft domestic in souvenir cup runs 10 bucks.

(It's either 12 oz or 10 oz beers... All I know is, the $6 beer is 1/2 the size of the $10 beer, I figured that out from reading the calorie counter on the menu board... $6 was 100 cal, $10 was 200 cal.)

Everything else beer-wise runs about 9-12 bucks, depending on what you get. Since it was hot out, I just focused on the 6 dollar beers.

[Freitag]

What was the "bunch of stuff" specifically?

Just curious

two foot long dogs dogs 12/each, two beers, 6/each two sodas 6/each... Total was 48, and she took 42.

As DS said, get the Canon SX10. You will adore it. The only problem is, it may be a little too big for you.



... because it won't fit in a purse...


(immediately stops himself from saying anything else)

[JerseyRich]

So what you are saying is for me to get a small personal loan before I go to the New Yankee Stadium?

[Freitag]

So what you are saying is for me to get a small personal loan before I go to the New Yankee Stadium?

Incidentally, when I came back with the tray of food, the wisenheimers next to me started making jokes that I cracked open the college fund for the food.

I was doing research; I wanted to see how good or bad the food was.

So:

$6 beers - good.

Yankee Stadium Garlic Fries - HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION.

Brother Jimmy's BBQ - No good.

Johnny Rockets - According to Liz's friend, no good.

Hot dogs good, soda was cold, refreshing, and bubbly, not syrupy.

You can bring a bottle of water into the park to refill, I believe. They have people outside the park who can help you.

[Freitag]

BTW, they still do have street vendors outside who make food. They were outside of the McDonalds when we were there.

[JerseyRich]

Quite helpful. Thank you .

[TheGameHHH]

whos up for the long haul here?

[FezsAssistant]

I predict a Yankees loss and no runs scored. It seems they never score runs the day after a big offensive game.

[TheGameHHH]

haha one of the Rangers tv announcers just called Sean Avery 'quite a forgetable guy'

Tex might have something to say about that

[Kevin]

Swisher has been ASS for a while now.

[Crippler]

Cervelli with ties it with an RBI hit & saves Jeter from a double play with a textbook break-up slide into Kinsler...nice.

[Tenbatsuzen]

haha one of the Rangers tv announcers just called Sean Avery 'quite a forgetable guy'

Why was Avery even brought up?

[HBox]

Why was Avery even brought up?

I'm guessing because he was on Dallas and then went to New York.

[Tenbatsuzen]

I'm guessing because he was on Dallas and then went to New York.

Yeah, but during a ball game? 3 months later?

Damnit, Swisher...

[TheGameHHH]

Why was Avery even brought up?

they were interviewing two Dallas Stars in the stands.

[TheGameHHH]

i really wanna win this game cause the sox lost tonight.

[Aggie]

I punked out. :thumbdown:

There was a massive thunder/hail storm and they said first pitch MIGHT be at 9:30. If it was a weekend I would have stayed. The ballpark got $30 of our money though. Oh well, I'll catch 'em next time.

Tex marks the spot

It's a long TEXt message

[Doctor Z]

Can someone explain to me why Kevin Cash even gets starts anymore?! I don't understand it. Cervelli has been more than we could ask for. Obviously he's not making the all-star team, but for a young fill-in catcher, Cervelli's been great. He's enthusiastic, very solid defensively, and bats more than .068. But it seems like ever other night, Cash is in the lineup as a virtual automatic out.

And yes, he just got a hit, but that doesn't change my point. It was his second hit in like 3 weeks. Cash sucks, play Cervelli every day.

Girardi is making some odd choices of late. The Cash situation, not properly using Wang in long relief and continuing to waste a roster spot on Angel Berroa. If any of these three things were explained to me id be much happier.

[Doctor Z]

You know who needs to get back into the rotation and not pitch out of the bullpen? Chien-Ming Wang.

But with Hughes pitching well, how could we fit him? And with Bruney back on the DL, we have no middle relief.

Oh wait, you know who sucks as a starter and is awesome in the bullpen? Joba Chamberlain.

Problem solved.

Monday's start was a day game followed by a night game, so the catchers would of course rotate. Maybe AJ is more comfortable having Cash call a game than someone else?

if you mention Joba belonging in the bullpen one more time throughout the course of this season im having moderators ban you until 2012 when you're loving Joba as a starter.

I seriously think Dr. Z has been taken over by BDC, kind of like Smith taking over people in the Matrix.

JOBA HAS FOUR FUCKING PITCHES, YOU DON'T PUT SOMEONE IN THE PEN WHO HAS FOUR PITCHES. HE'S A FUCKING ROOKIE.

Doc Z thats the medicine wee need

[Doctor Z]

Yes. Four pitches that last him as many innings. When Joba is a major league ace, you can all laugh in my face. But until then, you people are fucking retards.

Check out the blond behind home plate.
Nice.

I should talk shit about Kevin Cash EVERY night.

there isnt going to be a next mariano rivera for the yankees, do you even understand how special having a guy like Mo for so long is? do you really think other guys just come up, step in line and become just as good as Mo?

[TheGameHHH]

great line from my boy Big AAAAAAAA tonight, "David Robertson throws strikes with the lead. What a concept. Joe Torre may have wore relievers out. But at least he wore out the good ones and got everything out of them. Girardi wears out the bad ones."

[JPMNICK]

that was a great 14 games in a row for the Yanks, and they go into the off day with tied for 1st with Boston.

That's irrelevant. MLB allows exceptions when replacing an historic park or doing renovations. Does anybody honestly think they would or should not let the Red Sox have a new Green Monster at a new park when Fenway finally falls apart?

Somebody should check if the stated dimensions are actually correct. I remember reading a couple of reports that said the walls look closer than what the dimensions say they should be.

according to the article renovations on old park dont need to follow the rule but completely brand new ones do have to

[TheGameHHH]

I wanna go out and i was hoping to catch the first few innings or so before i left. rain delays are gay

[lleeder]

Seems like bullshit. I'm sure MLB would enforce its own rules or at least notify a team of the rules as the stadium designing process was occuring.

[Kevin]

Finally





The Yankees







HAVE COME BACK, TO 1SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSST PLACE

[Tenbatsuzen]

And Francesa will still dedicate 3 hours to his show that the Yankees have no patience and must put joba in the pen.

Time to run away with the east!!!

:thumbup:

nice little 7 run lead here, even with a-rod being an idiot and making the last out at 3rd.

Wow things really took a 180 quick.

Jose Veras just stinks!:annoyed:

[TheGameHHH]

1.5 game lead....9 games over .500...and an error-less streak of 16 games (tied for 2nd place in MLB history).

Wait... What?

Kim Jones brought up the 2 streaks. Jeters hitting and the error less. He told her if they both get snapped tomorrow, no player will talk to her.

Do you remember April?

[Doctor Z]

Yeah, he stunk. They put him on the DL to work shit out, he made a couple minor league starts... That's all well and good. But now he's a fucking long man. They might as well just spit in his face. The only reason they can get away with doing this is because he's not a bigtime contract. Let's see them pull this shit with CC or Burnett if they start to struggle.

It's also that they're being assholes about putting Joba back in the pen, they have no one else out in that bullpen other than Aceves and that Hughes has been pitching well enough not to lose his spot in the rotation yet.

[Doctor Z]

Wait... Did...

...did you just AGREE with me on Joba?

[Doctor Z]

If the Yankees take the lead here, Wedge looks like an absolute idiot.

[TheGameHHH]

I think Tha Wanger needed some games to see MLB hitters but now, especially after his last two outings, I'm confident he can get it done as a starter again. But the bottom line is this, you can never have too many starters. Having Wang currently slotted at #6 is what you consider a good type of problem. It will work itself out, give it time.

[TheGameHHH]

god, Tex fuckin rules

[Doctor Z]

It's a shame we left the go-ahead run on base, but man Tex is on fire.

And Eric Wedge made maybe the stupidest managerial decision I've seen in 2009.

It'd be funny if he's fired tomorrow... But if they lose this game it is one of those things that could cause a reactionary firing.

[Doctor Z]

I hope we lose this game. 1st & 3rd, our 2 fastest runners on base, 1 out, and we don't score? Fuck it.

[RingWraith]

I hope we lose this game. 1st & 3rd, our 2 fastest runners on base, 1 out, and we don't score? Fuck it.

I'm surprised Gardner didn't try to steal the base there to avoid the DP. Sigh!

[brettmojo]

Shit! :furious:

[Doctor Z]

Exactly. That's fucking inexcusable. Gardner is our fastest runner, Posada is our slowest runner. How is he not stealing, or at least going on contact there? And that's the game. Fucking awful.

[Doctor Z]

Gardner steals 2nd, Yankees win. It's that simple. We chose to lose this game.

[Doctor Z]

Sounds like it wasn't a managing blunder. Coaching staff gave Gardner the signal to go, but he didn't. Brainfart on his part.

YA KNOW IF JOBA WAS IN THE BULLPEN THEY WOULDA HAD SOMEONE TO PITCH THE 8TH FOR HIM.

Lighten up Francis.

[Freitag]

I will guarantee three things today:

1) Francesa will say that Joba could have gotten hurt diving for that ball, and because of that, he's a bad player.

2) Francesa will then kill Joba for celebrating after making that DP to kill a threat.

3) Francesa will then kill joba for giving up 2 runs over 8 innings.

What else will he say today?

i somewhat agree. the yankees traded for abreu knowing he's timid. so its not so much that he's shitty, cause i think he's as athletically talented as those two guys, its just that hes a little bitch when it comes to the wall.

id take your sentence and revise it to, seeing tex at first you realize how shitty giambi was.

Big A is reporting that Jesus Montero has been promoted to the Thunder, basically taking Cervelli's spot.

Which means one of a few things:

If Molina comes back, the Yankees will:

1) Carry three catchers
2) Send down Cervelli but promote him to AAA (and cutting Cash?)
3) DFA Molina.

Thoughts?

I would be shocked if they dropped cash. If anything, they are both good trade pieces right now for a middle reliever.

I wish that right now the biggest issue on my team was who the backup catcher was going to be.

[Freitag]

I would be shocked if they dropped cash. If anything, they are both good trade pieces right now for a middle reliever.

Cash yes. The Yankees don't have a very big investment in him. But Molina's contract is done at the end of the year, and Cervelli's stock skyrocketed. Cervelli is pretty much pencilled to be Jorge's backup next year. They are not trading him at all.

[TheGameHHH]

Who's the back up catcher and why do we have so many starters? I like these types of problems. Hopefully the next problem we have is why are they winning so many games?

Cash never was and never will be a good offensive catcher. As I've seen him play for years, his D is suspect at best as well. Molina at least is a very good defensive sub for Posada (who isn't that good/arm is shit), while that Venezuelan kid surely bring fire and drive that all vet teams need from their youth. I like him, but Cash won't get you shit in a trade as his value just isn't there.

[JerseyRich]

If Cervelli can start hitting for Xtra bases and homeruns then he can replace Posada right now for all I care.

Posada is a fucking bore.

[spoon]

If Cervelli can start hitting for Xtra bases and homeruns then he can replace Posada right now for all I care.

Ouch, loyalty anyone!? Jorge is easily one of the top 5 offensive catchers of his era and you're dumping him for a guy who will NEVER hit for his power and or clutch like him. Sure Cervelli looks young and quick, but it's easy to look way better than you are when you get fucking pitches down the middle of the plate in that lineup. I mean come on, he's going to see the best pitches in the fucking league in that lineup. If he was on just about any other team his avg would drop 25 pts immediately. Ricky Ledee anyone.

I agree. Hughes has more value as starting pitching depth than as a risky arm out of the bullpen. The Yankees middle relief is not very good, but players are not so interchangable. I hate when players are moved around like this.

yea, but the most important thing is this kinda hinders his development. this is the same reason why i hate the joba in the bullpen idea. these two kids needs to pitch innings in order to develop arm strength for the future. using them for one inning every 4 days is counter productive.

I seriously cant phathom how you witnessed Joba throw 8 outstanding innings the other night and know the stuff he posses, yet you still want him to only throw one inning every couple of days.

How Yankees fans put up with their bush-league announcing team is beyond me.

An A-Bomb...From A-Matsui! (http://deadspin.com/5277333/john-sterling-still-struggling-to-learn-yankees-lineup?autoplay=true)

"Voice of the Yankees" (as long as you don't own a TV) John Sterling has a made another memorable home run call. Mostly because he used his signature Alex Rodriguez-based "catchpharse" to celebrate a dinger by Hideki Matsui.

Obviously, the Latin heartthrob and the Japanese ... uh, guy are nearly indistinguishable in person, but that's why they wear numbers on their jerseys. But Sterling was clearly aware that Matsui was the hitter since he said the man's name two seconds before he launched into his robotic "It's an A-Bomb from A-Rod" shtick. Still, his silky smooth recovery—"It would have been if Alex had hit it"—was a brilliant save. Way to keep your cool, Johnny.

Sterling is the Dick Vitale of baseball in this way: he seems to watch the game just to know when to stick in one of his stale catchphrases.

He's only had 3 starts this season where he didn't make it at least into the 5th, and 1 or arguably 2 of them was because of injury.

Seriously, how good does he have to pitch for you to think he should start. Yeah, he throws a lot of pitches. Like every other young power strikeout pitcher before him.

It really is a matter of what the team needs right now. The team needs him in the pen more than they need him in the rotation.

If they make the playoffs he's back in the pen. So I really don't see the stubbornness to make the move now if they don't intend to make some other move soon to get someone that can handle coming out of the pen. If they'll do it with Hughes there's no reason not to do it with him.

You really think they'd start Burnett or Pettitte in the playoffs over Joba? I'd hope not.

And why not now even if he's in the pen in the playoffs? BECAUSE HE NEEDS TO PITCH FUCKING INNINGS. He only pitched 100 innings last year. If he does that again this year next year he won't be able to hit 200 innings, which will lead to him needing to be held back with his innings, which will yet again lead to these idiotic [angry typing guy]WHY ISN'T HE IN THE BULLPEN[/angry typing guy] bullshit and next thing you know we've wasted a potential ace so we can have a middle reliever. That's real smart baseball.

He also needs to learn how to pitch as a starter in the bigs, and as good as he's been it's obvious he still has a lot to learn.

Dude, he had one good outing... I'm gonna completely change my mind about Joba because he managed to get out of the 5th inning for once?

You're better than that.

I'm better then that? Give me a solid answer to this then,

"I get that the Yankees need bullpen help. But Joba has a 3.25 ERA in 21 career starts and is averaging 9.8 strikeouts per nine innings. CC Sabathia has a 3.65 ERA as a starter and averages 7.4 strikeouts per nine innings. Lets make him a reliever. He throws hard. I bet he would be good at it.

Joba has a chance to be one of the best starters in the game, not simply one of the best starters on the Yankees. He’s 23. You need to give him every chance in the world to accomplish this.

Great starters don’t just float down from baseball heaven one day. They are developed, they make mistakes and learn from them, they gain experience. Joba needs to learn to pitch to contact in certain situations and not waste two-strike pitches. His warm-up routine needs work and he’s not great holding runners on.

But that all comes in time. And when it all does … holy cow. Starting pitching is the key to winning baseball, period. Learn it, live it, love it."

I could not agree with this more. I see so much Roger Clemens in him, that it is amazing to think they would waste him 2 innings at a time. He mows people down at the plate. A couple more years developing against ML hitters, and he is a solid #1 anywhere.

[Doctor Z]

It's a matter of opinion, not fact. It won't be fact until several years from now when Joba's career is over. Until then, realize that your opinion on Joba, as well as mine, is no more than an educated guess.

We disagree on the issue, but stop talking like "ANYONE WHO DOESN"T GET THAT HE SHOULD BE A STARTER IS AN IDIOT."

At THIS very juncture, there is more evidence to support his success as a reliever/future closer than his success as a starter. When that changes, I'll shut up.

[brettmojo]

They need a bullpen just as much to win. I don't want Joba relieving. I know what he COULD possibly be as a starter. Right now, I KNOW what he could do to bring stability to the bullpen. It can't just be Aceves and Rivera if this team is expected to win. If they can make a move without having to do it then fanfuckingtastic. But Hughes isn't the answer and it's just as a detrimental to him having him sitting in the pen not working as it would be for Joba to be there. It's a real fucking failure on the part of the Yankees for either of those guys to be relegated to the bullpen.

Ok I get that, my apologizies for the harshness of my tone. I just get pretty pasionate about baseball and sometimes it manifests itself in an inappropite way. But make no mistake, if this works out in my favor 5 years from now, I'll be making fun of you then

[HBox]

There is no question of could or would. If there is a chance that Joba can be a great, hell, even just good starter, you pursue. Who would rather have on your team, John Lackey or Scott Shields? Joel Zumaya or Justin Verlander? This is why I hated the idea of calling him up early to stick him in the bullpen years ago, because the calls to keep him there won't stop.

Combine that with the fact he's been the 2nd best starter on this team all year while putting up numbers that are good by any measure of judgment and flat out great for a pitcher of his age and with his experience and I have no idea why this keeps coming up. Even if he were struggling I would keep him in the rotation. The Royals were patient with Zack Grienke even though he was flat out awful and now they have been rewarded with the best pitcher in the game right now. It makes even less sense when people want to replace him in the rotation with Phil Hughes who has been struggling.

Next time you wonder why the Yanks don't develop young talent reevaluate this situation. You have a young starting pitcher who is performing very well and even that isn't good enough. No, let's just waste his entire development up until now so that we can plug a minor hole that could still be fixed in another way. This is like calling up Austin Jackson now to be only a late innings pinch runner. Who cares that he still needs time to develop into a great center fielder? We have a pressing need for late innings stolen bases!

At least when the Sox did what they did with Papelbon they actually used him as the closer AND, most importantly, they had loads of other starting prospects so they could afford to do so. The Yanks have Hughes who isn't ready yet and...........

[Freitag]

Look, it stinks to see Hughes in the pen, but what are you going to do? Send him back to AAA and waste him there? He'll still get MLB experience and help add some skill to a pen that needs help. He can be a spot starter if needed, and if someone gets injured, he'll get that spot.

There's absolutely no guarantee that we'll get back the CMW of old. He's ALWAYS been a gimmicky pitcher, and if the league figures him out, he's done.

Oh my bad, they're on ESPN MONDAY NIGHT BASEBALL... Shit I saw them mention Yankees/Rays on ESPN quick this morning and I just assumed it was tonight.

Doh.

If i didnt see a score, and came here to find out who won... I woulda thought we lost, according to Z..

Speaking of we...

KO has been strangely absent since the Yanks took off..

[brettmojo]

Barring a rain out or rotation change the pitchers for Sunday's game that I'm going to against the Mets will be Burnett vs. Santana... Fucking stoked.

[FezsAssistant]

It's literally the bear minimum of "quality start"...

Can we just start saying that our 5th starter is "Joba/Aceves"?

Dude, Joba is a better starter than Pettitte, Burnett, Hughes, Wang and sometimes CC.
Maybe that means the rotation stinks, but he's a young guy and doing pretty well.

Despite his April, Teixeira has to be an early MVP candidate. This guy has been absolutely fucking huge, on offense and defense. I had my doubts when they made the signing...

Of course you did.

Only you would have doubts about the best #3-#4 hiting combo in all of baseball.

[TheGameHHH]

Of course you did.

Only you would have doubts about the best #3-#4 hiting combo in all of baseball.

EDIT- I mis-read your post and im an idiot

[TheGameHHH]

Of course you did.

dont worry, he'll also have doubts in 3 years with the best 1-2 pitching combo in baseball of Sabathia & Chamberlin.

[HBox]

So, uh, is Phil Hughes ever going to pitch?

[TheMojoPin]

"I had my doubts about Pujols and Howard hitting back to back, but this really seems to be working out!"

[Doctor Z]

Come on... Do I need to start listing all of the huge names that the Yankees have signed over the last decade that were sure things, and turned out horribly?

Holy fuck, you're really going for the BDZ crown, aren't you?

Outside of Giambi, I can't really name a Yankees FA position player who hasn't been earning his paycheck. Damon, A-Rod, etc. etc.

You want to talk pitchers, fine. But position players are a completely different animal.

[Doctor Z]

But... I was talking pitchers.
