    Not sure I understand the rationale behind Girardi having Swisher sacrifice with first and second and nobody out in a one-run game. I don't think you do that with a high on-base percentage guy. Oh well, it must be good to be second-guessing things like that.

    I basically said to myself rally killed when he squared to bunt. Like you said he has a high OBP. And the pitcher was sort of wild. And also getting hit. Even the final out was hard hit. I still don't know why Swish attempted at it as it was ball. Just cause you're bunting doesn't mean you can't take a pitch.

    I don't think that was Girardi's idea. He looked REALLY steamed in the dugout.

    I think it was. He said after the game that Swisher is a good bunter. I think he was more steamed that Swisher couldn't execute it.

    Anyone see Teixeira on Letterman? Seems like a down-to-earth kinda guy.

    I like the way he shakes his ass at first base lol.

    The dodgers bolstered their team picking up Jon Garland and Jim Thome yesterday. I mention this because if the yankees reach their ultimate goal they may have to play them.

    I wonder why there was no interest from the Yankees in Jon Garland. Seems he woudl be a better fit for the 5 hole then what they have.

    Do they really need anyone better in the 5 hole? Sure it would've been nice, but your #5 starter won't get used in the playoffs except in the bullpen (I sure don't want Garland in the bullpen in the playoffs). It's not even a guarantee Garland would be any better than Mitre either.

    Maybe they did but remember it's tough to get waiver claims when you have the best record in baseball since players have to go unclaimmed through every other team before the Yankees get a chance to make a claim.

    Wow..The Yanks are soooooooo good! :mrgreen:
    Conversations getting dull
    There's a constant ringing in my ears
    Sense of humor's void and numb
    And I'm bored to tears.......

    the yanks would have had no chance to get any of the recent players that have been moved around the past few days...and honestly, more worried about the other team from LA

    my friends and i always rattle off names from the early 90's yankees to each other. interesting little time period for that organization. i remember my dad taking me to the games and there would literally be only 14,000 people in attendance.

    he lived less than a mile away from me in north jersey, and my friends and i would ride our bikes past his house all the time and put baseball cards in his mailbox expecting him to sign them and put it back in the mail box for us. haha, so naive.
