Thanks, man. I have heard a lot of good things about Laird.

with their aging team and current staff, I think it would be dumb for them to give up a top prospect. they can roll out sabathia, pettite, and vazquez in round 1. that's not too shabby

I think the only thing they really need is a solid bat off the bench. Their bench in its current form is pathetic (though Colin Curtis shows some potential). Now, if San Diego were fall out of the race and make Heath Bell available, then I'd make a run at him, though I'm sure it would cost 2 arms and a few legs. Park sucks, they really need Robertson & Joba to get it together, maybe give melancon an extended look

Giambi's being the most important.

that's one of the biggest hits Giambi ever had for the Yankees, tonight

do yourself a favor.....Don't watch the replay. UGLY game, for both teams. 4 baserunning outs in the 1st inning alone

Fighting Hellfish

I agree. I have said mulitple times that I don't see them making a move, especially for lee when they can just sign him after the season. I would be much more inclined and happy if they were to trade laird though and keep Romine. I really think he is the next Yankees catcher.[/quote]

what would happen with cervelli? i love that kid, would hate to see him go.[/quote]

I love cervelli too, but "experts" rank him as the 3rd or 4th best catching prospect the Yankees have. He's been a much much better major leaguer than he ever was a minor leaguer. That said, i don't expect him to be moved anytime soon. I could see he & Romine sharing the position in a few years, with Montero being a #3/emergency catcher and DH. They have another kid, Gary Sanchez, IIRC, who also ranks very high, he could possibly be trade bait. II agree that there is no rush to trade for Cliff Lee, but their #1 demand is a major league ready catcher. But if you trade for Lee, who do you bump from teh rotation? 2011 is a different story, with Andy going year to year and Vazquez being a free agent (who I'd like back, but wouldn't mind terribly if he signs elsewhere and they get 2 draft picks)

I wasn't planning on it. Hopefully the two games I'm seeing at Dodger Stadium will be well-played.

Fighting Hellfish

hopefully the Top of the 9th makes up for a stinker. Can Jeter/Swisher/ Tex get to the immortal Aaron Heilman? Have fun at Dodger Stadium, say hi to Donnie Baseball for me

2 days in a row of Joba throwing 98mph

Fighting Hellfish

hopefully it's not just a mirage. ok sorry, that was bad

igotid88

new game

MARIANO!!!!!

Fighting Hellfish

Amazing. 3 solid sticks there, Young/Laroche/Reynolds

Fighting Hellfish

I love how Mariano does that, saves the win (though not a save for him) and just walks off the mound to shake hands with the catcher. No histrionics that you get from so many of the lesser closers and relievers (including Joba, who's getting much better, hopefully learning from the master) No pointing to the sky, no dance, no look at me, I'm awesome show. Just another night at the office for the greatest closer of all time

igotid88

rays lose on a no-hitter again

igotid88

Go A-Rod, Go Mariano, Go Mattingly

xavier mcdaniel

outstanding game but two of those strikes to loney were not strikes, but that's to be expected when phil cuzzi is running the show behind the plate.

rival.

LOVE cc sticking up for his teammates.

Champagne Breakfast

I've always loved CC... but hitting Padilla was one of my favorite things he's ever done.
That was outstanding. Loved how he just stood there upright and stared him down afterwards too. A little crazy but one of my fav moments of the year thus far. Things like that can help a team really take off.
