    then what do we do with melky? good young centerfielder with a cannon for an arm. he is an asset in the field.

    I still start him, just pinch hit for him late, and sub Christian or Gardner for late defense. Or the other way around. it seems like every game he comes up with a runner or 2 on, down a run or 2, and never comes thru. You know how they say the ball finds you when you're in a defensive slump...that's how it is for Melky. The clutch at bats find him. He's like Giambi. His stats are inflated (and overall, they aren't that good) by one good month, April

    As a lifetime Yankee hater, I could not be more pleased to see the precious Joba hurt. It makes my day so much happier!
    Go Get 'Em Tigers!

    Tigers fan? it's not surprising that you're down to rooting for injuries to other teams, seeing a show you're team is one of the biggest flops in recent memory

    Gosh I HATE the Yankees, but I would rather beat them than see guys

    Anyone else gonna pick this up? I'm a little pissed they put the 2001 game 4 on this set too, as it's already on the Dynasty set. They should have put game 5 on this one so we could have both of those amazingly unprobable games. Ah well, I'll still get this just for Chambliss and Aaron Fucking Boone

    This six-DVD set showcases sex television broadcasts of games that shaped the mystique of this fabled baseball cathedral. Selected by Yankees.com readers, these outstanding games mark glorious chapters in the history of the franchise. This six-game celebration salutes everything that is quintessentially Yankees and 100% baseball.
    # 1976 ALCS GAME 5 VS. KANSAS CITY ROYALS: Chris Chambliss' walk-off HR sends the Yankees to their first World Series since 1964.
    # 1977 WORLD SERIES GAME 6 VS. LOS ANGELES DODGERS: "Mr. October" Reggie Jackson's historic three home run-game propels the Bronx Bombers to another World Series Championship.
    # 1995 ALDS GAME 2 VS. SEATTLE MARINERS: This 15-inning drama ended with Jim Leyritz's walk-off home run and featured home runs from Don Mattingly, Paul O'Neill, and Ruben Sierra. WIth 3 &1/3 innings in relief a young Mariano Rivera notched the win.
    # 1996 WORLD SERIES GAME 6 VS. ATLANTA BRAVES: After New York lost the first two games of the 1996 World Series, they won the next four and finished with a Game 6-celebration that shook Yankee Stadium with delight.
    # 2001 WORLD SERIES GAME 4 VS. ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS: History unfolded when Tino Martinez hit a 2-out, bottom of the 9th, two-run homer to tie the game. Then in the 10th, "Mr. November" Derek Jeter's game-winning home run ended another remarkable victory.
    # 2003 ALCS GAME 7 VS. BOSTON RED SOX: With a World Series appearance at stake, aces on the mound, and white knuckles everywhere, Aaron Boone stroked the game-winning home run to seal the Yankees' 11-inning victory.

    I know, but still. It does not bode well at all.

    What is he pitching, a no-hitter?

    If Karstens finishes this one off without allowing a run, it'll be 15 scoreless innings to start his NL career. Good for him.

    I guess it's Kennedy and Geise to replace Joba and Rasner this time around the rotation. I think we'll see Hughes within the next 2 weeks. Was Rasner sent down or moved to the bullpen?


    Kind of off topic with all that's going on lately, but what do you guys think happens with Abreu in the offseason? I'd offer him a 1 year deal and see if he takes it.

    I doubt he would take it. He'll be 35 when the season starts next year and it will probably be his last chance to get a big contract. He'll probably get a 3 or 4 year deal from someone.

    no red light on the season guys...still plenty of time, anything can happen..we can take over the division and sneak in on the very last day against the Sox.....it IS possible
    ask the mets ;)

    I still think we're going into the playoffs 14 yrs in a row this yr
    Aah, fuck it, I’m just gonna go home, turn on the fuckin’ TV...

    For some reason I was thinking he was a couple years older. Hell, he's 11 months younger than me! The offseason will be interesting to watch and see what they go after. You gotta think 1B and SP are the priorities, but I think they have to either resign Abreu or bring in someone else. Damon and Matsui are having trouble staying healthy and that is compounded when they actually play OF.


    Joba Watch
    This from Brian Cashman: Chamberlain has what is being described as rotator cuff tendinitis. He will be rested for a week and then start a throwing program after being evaluated.

    They won't offer him anything. That's why they have Nady.

    Uh oh. I hope I-Rod isn't hurt now.

    Molina is pinch-hitting.
