    Wouldn't you bat Berkman 2nd and Swisher 6th? Berkman's got better obp doesn't he, even with his struggles? And plus, I can't stand that faux hawk douche.

    I think they will keep Swisher second, their OBP's are very similar and Swisher has been there for a lot of the season. Does not really matter to me though.

    Damn. One bad pitch. I knew the Yankees should've saved some runs for today.

    Yanks are in on Lilly I guess that would be a great move.

    Tough loss. This divison is going to be a fight

    I don't think we need Lilly. I don't want Hughes in the pen.

    Hughes is going to the pen at somepoint regardless, he has an innings limit. Lilly would help that, sounds like the dodgers want him bad so it does not really matter

    Yanks just have to win 1 of the next 2 to leave Florida in first place. Both would be nice but ending this series in first would be nice, period.

    But that won't be until mid to late September. Unless his limit is lower than 175ip. Where will Lilly fit in now?

    Lilly can fill pettittes spot so they can make sure he is absolutely 100% before he comes back. He takes such a long stride I would hate to see them rush him back. Lilly for the time being, get pettitte healthy then hughes can move to the pen. What do you think? You thinking pettitte will be back sooner than later?

    Austin Kearns is a Yankee. Not sure why

    2 guys added to the roster. who gets cut from the team, and who gets bumped from the 40 man roster?

    Berkman is a yankee, has been since 5:30. Just have to wait till tomorrow afternoon so he can officially waive his 10 and 5 rights. I would not be suprised if he is on his way to Florida for tomorrows game.

    this was on olney's twitter page about two hours ago

    Heard this: With two trades in the books today, the Yankees are working on another -- presumably somebody who can play 3B

    and here are some comments from Kearns:

    I think when you get the opportunity to go there, you don’t really worry about that kind of thing,” he said. “Bigger and better things I’m worried about than playing time.”

    “I’ve only been traded once, but it’s kind of like, you don’t know what’s going on,” he said. “I didn’t know anything. Came out of the game and was just hanging out. After the game they brought me in there.”

    “You always enjoy playing teams like that,” he said. “Teams that are playoff caliber and World Series caliber teams.”

    Saw the kearns comments, like to see that kind of thing. If cashman can pick up a backup infielder on the cheap, it will be one hell of a deadline for the Yankees. Expensive bullpen help can be had in august. Joba looked better tonight though.
