  • a little late on this as i was away, but the Girardi flip out in boston was by far my favorite Yankee thing I've seen all year. Protecting A-Rod nonetheless! If it was Jeter that swing at the ump may have connected. lol.

    oh i loved it! not the actual confrontation, just the fact that he had that pride in him to react that way

    haven't really thought about this until the final stretch of the season...

    the yankees MUST make the playoffs as mo's final pitch CANNOT come from the mound in houston. that would be all sorts of fucked :fp:

    the league should have thrown the yankees a small bone while making this year's schedule and had them close out the season with a three game series at home to send mo off into the sunset proper.

    Metallica to play for Mo ?

    Q104.3 FM
    With Yankees closer Mariano Rivera set to retire at the end of this season there are rumors Metallica may perform "Enter Sandman" at Yankee Stadium.

    http://www.q1043.com/articles/rock-news ... -11602203/

    Metallica's "Enter Sandman" has long been connected to New York Yankee great Mariano Rivera.

    The legendary closer has been taking the field to the metal classic for most of his lengthy career. And now that Rivera is set to retire at the end of this season, there are rumors that Metallica will perform his theme song live at Yankee Stadium.

    The band is scheduled to play the nearby Apollo Theater on September 21st, the night before the Yankees are set to celebrate Rivera with a pre-game event at the ballpark.

    But even though they'll be in town, Metallica and the Yankees are staying quiet on any possible appearance.

    According to the "New York Daily News," a rep for the Yankees said only that he cannot comment on "any events" surrounding Mariano's ceremony.




    this would be insane !

    I don't think he sucks. Just like CC I think he's having an off year. Hasn't been helped by the defense much this year and rarely gets any run support. As for Wang, there's a reason he was Dfa'd by the Yankees and Jays.

    Sucks for Hughes. He was starting to pitch better. Hopefully Huff's luck continues.

  • Facing a rookie making his mlb debut tonight hopefully we light him up instead of struggling like we normally do.
