  • Quickly making our way back to 500 and into 2009, as Rasner gives up a 3 run shot to Young. His second 3 run shot in a few hours.

    Now the Mr. Hank has brought up 2009, my thoughts are....
    -either damon or matsui has to go (how many more yrs does matsui have? i know damon has 1 more). I vote see ya matsui we have nady
    -rasner gotta go
    -we already know pavano, giambi, pettite,maybe mussina, maybe abreu will be gone
    -Melky has to either be outfielder #4 or go back to aaa to tighten up. This should happen now not next year
    -Cano needs to get his head out of his ass and start realizing he's now a paid ballplayer on the NYY. He continues to struggle.
    -Same can hold true for Hughes. Just needs to stay healthy
    -get CC maybe? Maybe Texiera???

    I give Girardi so much credit for keeping the team somewhat afloat with the absurd amount of injuries. But Girardi needs a Girardi team not a Cashman/Torre team which is what he has now. Many times it seems Girardi is the only one with heart. Bring back O'Neil we need someone to throw a water cooler for Gods sake.

    wonder where we would b with Chien Man right now? oh well
    TB's 12 of the next 15 games is agianst the Sox and Yankees. No Crawford 6-8 weeks and Longoria who knows how long. We sweep or take 2 out of 3 from TB and same with Boston its back in the mix...seasons far from over ;)
    Aah, fuck it, I’m just gonna go home, turn on the fuckin’ TV...
    Watch the nightly news and drink a beer...
    Like I could even change the world, yeah right...

    I see you're an optimist. ;)

    It's really got to get to Big Stein that the last day at Yankee Stadium will be September 21st.

    The way Boston is hitting and scoring against Texas. Is what the Yankees should have been doing last week against them.

    things look bleak in Yankee world Eli :(
    but it's true, it's not over till it's over, like Yogi said. Let's see how it plays out.

    we'll talk after sept 4. after that yanks rays series and see where we are by then. We have beatable teams coming up in the next 3 series, then the red sox, jays again and tigers leading up that Rays series

    oh and BUH bye Troy Percival :D

    thats 3 down for them..maybe the injuries will even out for both teams and then we'll see whats up

  • Melky to Scranton, Sexson released

    Brett Gardner and Cody ransom called up

    oh, and it looks like they totally wasted a 1st round pick,m as gerritt Cole is steadfast about going to college. Could be a negotiating ploy, as Boras is his agent, but i read that Cole won't even look at any offer the team makes

    funny how injuries have affected the sox and rays (papi,wakefield, Dice-k, lowell, colon) but wait for it, both teams are overcoming.
    Let's not be negative now. Thumper has spoken

    It had to be done. Melky was just killing them. He needed this too. Maybe this will spark him to prove he is a true MLB centerfielder because as good as he is catching and throwing he was showing to be a 4th outfielder. Not even great speed that a CF needs. Never made a productive out either. Hopefully Cano can handle his butt buddy being gone.

    I understand wanting to go to college. But turning down millions of dollars is crazy. What if he hurts himself?

  • Big inning there, in a must win game. Big hit for Abreu, and ARod got the job done there. That run was a must

    3 runs at home against the royals. this game is bullshit, it shouldn't even be close.

    Wakefield? Seriously? Colon? C'mon. And what did Matsuzaka miss? 2 weeks? The Yankees have lost 4 starters for extended periods. 2 of their top bats for the year. They started their projected lineup all of 2 times the entire season

    yea word...like I said b4..add Chien Man back in and thats another 15-19 wins that make a WHOLE lot of a difference in the standings.

    More than the Red SOx fans, and Rays fans and all the yankee haters I just want us to pull this off to shut our fucking media up...I cant wait to see how they switch it around if we sneak in.."Oh this team has heart, and this and that, blah blah"
    Meanwhile as of yesterday the whole NY media declared them dead with tombstones on the front page and all that...corny..theyre the BIGGEST bandwagon jumpers of em all

    I still got faith..as depleted as we are..I think we can pull it off ..the leaders need to step up big time right now (Jeter, Gayrod, Andy, etc)
    Aah, fuck it, I’m just gonna go home, turn on the fuckin’ TV...

    but that's the way they've been playing lately. no heart. it's sickening. i'd love to see them turn it around and make it into the playoffs, but the way they've been playing.........not gonna happen. christ, they're struggling with the royals at home right now.
