    Man so much bragging rights are on the line over the next three days living here in atlanta. I would love a sweep but 2 out of 3 wins for the yankees would make me happy.

    I guess if there's one thing you can take out of this one is Wang needed 29 less pitches to make it through five and probably would have gone at least six if it was in an American League park. I suspect we'll know better about Wang once the Yankees resume intraleague play.

    SO just wondering...not to take away from this years team...but there are a few FA's. After seeing about a half of season who do you bring back....

    -Damon? -- see ya bye. Gardner, Melky is better in my opinion. Gardners speed & versatilty makes things happen
    -Matsui? -- see ya bye. Heard Japan wants him back
    -Andy? -- TBD. Wont be surprised if he retires
    -Nady? -- Why not? If healthy, maybe the a DH option
    -Other --- Keep Molina & Cervelli, really work Cervelli's bat in the offseason. Like that guy. Posada's last year on contract....maybe more time at DH.

    the entire infield will be back, though jeter will be in a contract year in 2010. As for the outfield, all are candidates to go. Damon is a halfway player, offense only. Swisher, Cabrera, Gardner are all fourth outfielders and you can't have three on the same team. They're locked into Burnett and Sabathia. Wang and Chamberlain will probably be back and they could either slot Hughes in for Pettitte, assuming Pettitte retires.
    Catching-wise, you might be able to trade Molina, not get anything great and keep Cervelli and Posada.

    Jeter SS
    Damon LF
    Teixeira 1B
    Rodriguez 3B
    Cano 2B
    Cabrera RF
    Gardner CF
    Cervelli C
    Chamberlain RHP

    That was tonight's lineup, but I'm hearing it was taken down by coach Rob Thomson and Nick Swisher is now meeting with Cashman and Girardi.

    I think Hughes should be a starter next year. Damon will probably be back as dh/of. Austin Jackson will probably be competing for an outfield spot next year.

    from the looks of it, they were probably telling him that nady's coming back soon and expect a little less at-bats.

    Cashman met with everyone in the clubhouse before the game on Wed and said get your shit together you overpaid assholes... well he did not say that but i'm sure he said get yoru shit together... :lol:

    I had the pleasure of going to the games on Wed & Thurs. Andy did not have it yesterday and i know giradi was trying to get him through 5 to get teh win, but he almost blew it by doing so.

    It was odd how many yankee fans were at Turner field totally dwarfed the braves fans. Fans at braves games hardly ever chant but after hearing the yankee fans take over every once in a while you would hear some of them try to start somthing up. Like once i hears a JE-TER SU-CKS chant about twice into it a roar of Lets Go Jeter swamped them and you coudl not hear the braves fans.

    It was great :D

    Nady feels pain in his arm again. That may be it for him this year.

    anyone notice a-rod's enthusiasm in the dugout all night long? that was pretty refreshing to see, looked like a little kid enjoying himself.

    nice to see wang's era almost below 10.00. looks like he is heading in the right direction, interesting to see where he will be at come the end of july.

    you'll see that from time to time. If you're at a game or even on TV, you'll see that when A-Rod takes the field, he sprints out and pretends that he's playing football with Teixeira, who will thrown him the ball like he's a wide receiver.

    Obviously they wouldn't. I guess they wanted to him to continue his tour of the AL East since he already played with Toronto, Tampa Bay and Boston.

    Interesting talk comparing Hughes to Mariano in '95/'96. Kay spoke of it agian last night. Hughes has been lights out. Bruney not so much.
