Hahahaha. If that's the good news, the Yanks have a long, long, long way to go.

Fighting Hellfish

Ok, give me a shovel and some dirt. I was one of the last to admit it's over. But losing 2 out of 3 to Seattle.......see ya in February. It's funny. The team sucks, an dyet I don't know who I want gone, other than Giambi. I'd like to see Abreu back, but not long term. I'd love to drive DoublePlayRod tot he airport, but that's not happening. there's only one team stupid enough to sign anyone to a 10 year contract, let alone for $30 mil per. I'd move Damon if I could, coming off a very good year, while he has some value. Doubtful. it may be time for pettitte to hang em up. But that's what everyone said about Mussina last year. best case scenario for me---bring Pettitte and Mussina back on 1 year deals, and with the understanding that their spot in the rotation is not guaranteed. I'd really like to see Mussina stick around and make a run at 300 wins. But you have to go year to year with him at this point.

Should be DPJeter since he has 22. I would like to see Abreu back also in some capacity. But I don't like his defense. He has a good arm that's all. His on base is low for him. And I don't think we're going to win with him. Teams have gotten better when he left. Moose would be a good 4 or 5th starter.But only if he accepts a paycut.

At this point I'd like to see the No Heart Yankees finish in 4th. & believe it or not I'm a diehard fan. They deserve it & should be embarassed. I keep saying it but we need a Girardi team. A team that if they are going to go down, at least they go down swinging. Not these softies who will just go home to their millions (& God knows what else).

Move GM Champagne Breakfast would make....
Bye Bye....Giambi, Pavano, Ponson & Rasner (obvioulsy), Pettite (only if he retires), Damon (throw him out there).
I'd see what they can get for Matsui. I'd see if they can sign Abrea to a 2 yr deal decreasing his annual salary, if not he's gotta go. I'd see what they can get for Kennedy. I can go either way on Mussina.

Build this team around Joba, Wang, & unfortunately Jeter in A-Rod. Starting over and making the Yanks a Joba / Girardi team at least we know we'll have some heart and fire.

Thank God football has started. I've seen more intensity in one weekend then I have in 6 months watching the celebrities in pinstipes.

I hope they let Hughes stay with Scranton for the finals of the playoffs. I was really wanting them to bring him up before, but the Yanks aren't going anywhere and I think it could be a really valuable experience for him pitching in some meaningful games down there where it's do or die. Apparently he pitched insanely good yesterday. I'm going to have to try to go to one of the games here later in the week.

Champagne Breakfast

Just watching MNF on ESPN tonight and couldn't help but notice the MLB ticker has a headline from Hank stating Joe Girardi will definitely return next year as Mgr.
This pisses me off that its even a question whether or not Girardi returns. This player formula has proven to be a disappointment for 5 years. With all they've gone thru health wise etc this year Girardi deserves credit for keeping them somewhat afloat. To me Girardi is the starting point and the staple for what we need in the bronx. A fundamentalist, a fiery guy, a winner, guys with heart.

I hope Dave Eiland is okay. I guess he couldn't stand watching the Yankees play that he passed out.

Pathetic. I'm gonna start the 2009 thread.

no it was after the fight? Did you see it? Torii Hunter pushed Pudge in the back! Hard! That wasn't right. Both benches cleared and Hunter and Pudge were both ejected.

I know. I couldn't see it cause YES keeps freezing up. Just saw bits and pieces. Saw it on the postgame. But I was making a joke.

Well this is it. The last homestand at the Old Yankee Stadium. Until the game starts. You can watch the Yanks Triple A team Scranton beat up on the Rays Triple A team Durham online at minorleaguebaseball.com. It's free to view. You just gotta sign up. 10-1 Scranton. Phil Hughes already has 10 K's in 4ip. He ran into some trouble in the 4th. It was bases loaded no outs. He only gave up 1 run and struck out the side.

igotid88

AAA update. 11-1 Scranton. Phil Hughes 12k's thru 5 ip. And that umpire had a very small strikezone. This will be his last inning since he's thrown 97 pitches.

Scranton Yankees win the playoffs. 20-2
