The New York Yankees are proud to continue HOPE Week 2012 (Helping Others Persevere & Excel) on Tuesday by celebrating the charitable work performed by Jorge Munoz. Yankees players Robinson Cano, Curtis Granderson, Hiroki Kuroda and Boone Logan will honor Jorge Munoz by surprising him in the kitchen of his home and helping him cook the daily meal he prepares for 140 people. Later that afternoon, Munoz and his family will be the Yankees’ special guests for their 7:05 p.m. game vs. Cleveland. They will watch batting practice from the field and be part of pregame on-field ceremonies. Shortly after the start of the game, Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman along with Yankees front office staff and former HOPE Week honorees will join Munoz in traveling back to Queens to assist in distributing food to the hungry at Munoz’s usual time and location (9:30 p.m. underneath the elevated subway tracks at Roosevelt Avenue and 73rd Street).

THE STORY OF JORGE MUNOZ, “AN ANGEL IN QUEENS”
http://www.anangelinqueens.org/

Known as the “Angel in Queens,” Jorge Munoz, 48, emigrated from his native Colombia in the 1980s with his mother and sister, and spent his subsequent years working in retail stores and as a school bus driver. In 2004, he drove past a group of mostly Latino day laborers who were standing underneath the elevated subway tracks on the corner of Roosevelt Avenue and 73rd Street in Jackson Heights, Queens. They told him that on days they cannot find work, they go hungry.

Identifying with their plight, he began bringing them food. That first night it was eight brown bag sandwiches. Now, eight years later, he is responsible for feeding as many as 140 individuals a night with meals ranging from chicken with rice, to beef with pasta, to pork with beans. While some neighborhood businesses contribute supplies, the majority of cooking is done by Munoz, his sister and an assistant cook in the tiny Queens home he shares with his mother, his sister and her son.

Since beginning his work with the hungry in 2004, he has established his own nonprofit and served over 70,000 meals to New Yorkers who otherwise could not afford to routinely enjoy a hot meal. Jorge has missed serving food just one night over the last seven years due to an impassable snowstorm. He continues despite being laid off from his job in December.

That Right Fielder for Arizona the yanks picked in the draft looked pretty good in the college world series.
Rob Refsnyder (or something like that). Looked like he had a good arm and some power.

Yeah, that sounded like a good pick in the 5th round.

Yanks farm is stacked (Mason Williams hit another home run last night. Send him and Sanchez to Tampa). Big league team has the best record in the game. Only one starting pitcher locked into a big long term contract. I'd say things are pretty damn good right now for the Yankees.

Have some big contracts coming due and some arbitrations. I really don't understand how Cashman thinks he's going to trim payroll by 2014. WOn't/can't happen. Cano, Granderson, Hughes, Nova, etc. plus all of the fat already on the books. :nono:

I don't think $189 is going to happen either, but I also think it all depends on how things play out over the next year or so. I do think it may be a Granderson or Cano situation, which is understandable. Cano is going to get paid. I believe Hughes is a free agent after next season and obviously there is a long long way to determining what he will make and if he is even back. Nova will only be in his first arbitration in 2014 so he will still be incredibly cheap. The only way they get to $189 in 2014 is if they have major contributions from minor leaguers.

Also, winning a world series makes them a lot of money. I know the goal is 2014 but if they win they can pay the luxury tax for a year or two then get to $189 once some of the big contracts are off the books.

Either way, the have the best record in the game, along with the most resources (regardless if they get to $189) and a stacked farm. Things would be a whole lot worse.

Oh I'm not saying things could be worse it's just every so often that 189 figure comes up for 2014 and it makes me . Even with the players currently on the books for 2014 and if they fill out the remainder of the roster with players at the league average they are owell over 189. The Tex and Arod contracts are quite the burden.

Oh, no doubt. I don't see it happening unless they tank a year.

my dad and i are taking my boys to their first game on sunday. He got 4 tickets from his brother on his birthday. when I asked him today for the seat number/section, I found out that they're fucking wheel chair seats :fp: :fp: :fp: :fp:

Sitting in the concourse on folding chairs is not how I envisioned my kids first game. hoping i can upgrade by sunday.

Listening to a Johnny Damon interview pregame on the radio and boy is it apparent he wants to come back. I almost have a feeling that if Gardner continues to have issues I think the Yanks make a play for him.
