OFFICIAL New York Yankees 2007 Season Thread

[Bulldogcakes]

Too bad we didn't give away Pavano, eh?

Well Mr Smarty Pants, it was an interesting call to make at the time, and it was early March and nothing else was going on, so it was just something to kick around.

BTW-Anyone know anything about Karstens? He was supposed to see a doctor today and nothing's on the Yankee site. He's almost certainly NOT coming up with the team, given how conservative the Yanks are with injuries, but I'd just like to know.

[Dan 'Hampton]

Kei Igawa’s line this spring: 17 13 5 5 12 19

Daisuke Matsuzaka’s line this spring: 17.2 9 5 4 7 19


thats some interesting stats

Boston should be reeling we got ourselves a dud. ESPN was saying earlier this week that the Yanks were going to ship Igawa to AAA before the injury bug hit. Whats up with that?

[ralphbxny]

I hope Karstens Elbow is ok. I like the kid alot!!

[BoondockSaint]

I hope Karstens Elbow is ok. I like the kid alot!!

So why don't you marry him?

[peewee]

So why don't you marry him?

hey thats my line..


i can't wait for baseball to start. pavano gets one more start against the twins before the season. i hope its a good one. i really think he is going to have a decent year. he may start out a little shaky but i see him winning about 15 games this year... listen to how optimistic i am, god i love spring.

You gotta be kidding me (http://www.projecta13.com/believe.html)

[Bulldogcakes]

I hope Karstens Elbow is ok. I like the kid alot!!

Yeah, me too.

BTW- I heard on the FAN yesterday that Karsten's elbow is OK. No damage, he just strained it. I doubt you'll see him go north with the team, but thats good news.

[cougarjake13]

15 huh? Rehab starts?

you know winning games in mlb the show 07 doesnt count as wins

This is awful news. (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2816598)

Swindal is the guy who let Cashman take the reigns this offseason. Now who knows what will happen. Maybe the family sells the team after George dies. That would be awful.

I don't know what this means. I wouldn't over react to it. I don't know that Swindal would have been a good or bad owner. Cashman is still young for an executive, I dont think he's going anywhere and they have lots of good baseball people in their organization. With attendance at 4 mil, a new stadium on the way (which will keep it there) all Cashman needs to do is make the playoffs each year. And with his resources and smarts he should be able to do that.

[Dan 'Hampton]

if george dies people will rejoice?

I for one love the way King George runs his team into the ground.

Yeah, they've been awful the past 12 years.

[Don Stugots]

I for one love the way King George runs his team into the ground.

i can see your point on that and to some extent i agree. the team was so hard to cheer for in the '80's but i did it anyway. Mattingly helped with that. but for any to think that George dying is something to be happy about escapes me.

Michael Kay said that he checked into this, and the Steinbrenner family has no intention of selling the team after George is gone. So if you like a hands-off owner (which has its downsides also) you'll LOVE Hank and Hal Steinbrenner. Who by most accounts have little interest in running the team, though Hank has been seen more around Tampa lately.

BTW-He also said that the estate taxes wont be an issue for them either, they've had the accountants take care of that as well. So if they want to keep it, they will.

[BoondockSaint]

Why was he going to leave it to his son-in-law when he has two sons?

[HBox]

Why was he going to leave it to his son-in-law when he has two sons?


His sons weren't interested.

As long as they don't sell, keep pouring money back into the team and keep Cashman in charge I'll be fine. I'm just worried that there are any number of idiots in Tampa who have George's ear and have had their hands in some of these awful signings in the last handful of years that could have tried to make a power play. Or George would just try and reassert himself.


I don't want to go back to last year and have Cashman having to fight every step of the way to run the team his way. And losing some of those battles.

[cougarjake13]

if george dies people will rejoice?


well all the non yankee fans might, not at his death but what his death could potentially represent

That was a problem before Cashman signed his last deal. Now everything baseball goes through him, and he brings it to George. So that's fixed. And by all accounts George does still run the team as he always did. The problem was with who he was getting his info from.
Look, I dont want to flip out about this but I dont want to poo-poo it either. It's definitely an uncertainty how this all plays out. But if the family intends to keep the team, you have to figure they'll run it by George's playbook. He took it from a 10 mil purchase in 73 to a business worth over a billion dollars. They'd be stupid to do otherwise.

[Dan 'Hampton]

ARod: Don't hate...appreciate. (http://www.projecta13.com/index.html)

GD I had this earlier in the thread but non of the lemmings bit.

[BoondockSaint]

They should let Pavano run it.

[cougarjake13]

They should let Pavano run it.

why not

he doesnt see the mound much anyway

[TheGameHHH]

look, none of us are running the team, why should we get up in arms about it? we dont know shit until this divorce is settled.

[Kevin]

I was watching the Yes Broadcast tonight.. Michael Kay was saying, that a Baseball America scout, said, that the Yankees, now have the #5 minor league in all of baseball. Including the top pitching prospect in the game, if you do not count Dice K, in Hughes.. Take the fact that, this minor league, was called baron, just 2, 3 years ago, its amazing what they have done.. To go from one of worst farms in the league, to 5th best, in 2,3 years, is just incredible. I wonder what spoon will say, when we win, with home grown players.. Probably some shit like, THEY USED MONEY THEIR TO BUILD THE FARM.... SALARY CAP IN THE MINOR LEAGUES!!!!!

[Dan 'Hampton]

Your farm system will be barren again after another postseason meltdown. George's health isn't great he want's one more before he goes to the turtleneck taylor in the sky.

[crb1]

well all the non yankee fans might, not at his death but what his death could potentially represent

What could it potentially represent?

The only way things change is if the team is sold (which sounds very unlikely), and some corporation buys it up and becomes purely profit-driven. So, they may not spend as much on payroll, but they'll still be able to spend more than anyone else and still turn a profit because they bring in so much money.

The worst-case scenario (best-case for Yankee haters) is someone like Peter Angelos buying the team and completely f-ing it up. He's actually worse than Steinbrenner was in the late-80's, which I always thought was impossible.

[ralphbxny]

Exactly one week till my first yankee game of the year!!!

[BoondockSaint]

Pavano dumped. (http://www.nypost.com/seven/03302007/news/nationalnews/pavano_gal_pal_drops_bomber_nationalnews_richard_j ohnson_and_david_k__li.htm)

Allemand described their relationship as being "as bad as Carl's pitching!"

[Bulldogcakes]

I guess they never had a relationship, since he never pitched.

wow

no mention of pavano being named the opening day starter ????

well obviously this is all based on the assumption that george and his personality is what drives him to spend the way he does and that whoever takes over the team may not be as crazy in terms of signing guys and having the highest payroll in baseball every year

[Kevin]

Na, George is pretty much out if it.. I think he may be dead... We never see him anymore... Ber afriad Redsux fans, The Yanks are only going to get better.

[TheGameHHH]

lets scrape some money together and buy the yanks, whos with me????

[weekapaugjz]

the yankees are faggots

[Dan 'Hampton]

Ask James Dolan, he loves being a sports team owner.

Why? Is Steinbrenner like Obi-Wan Kenobi in that if he's struck down, he'll become more powerful than I can possibly imagine?

[Dan 'Hampton]

His family doesn't want to run the team so you all better hope that Dolan don't snatch them up.

So Jeter is the whiny bitch and ARod is the cool badass? What kind of Yankee fan are you?

One of the things I love about this team is the bullpen is deeper with more quality than it has been in years. I'm not convinced the Lefties are as good, but most of the righties get lefties out, so it shouldn't be a big factor.
I would, however like to see more different "looks" in the bullpen. Most are power arms, with the main exception being lefty specialist Myers. But thats a minor quibble, and maybe one of the rookies on the farm or Karstens can help fill in there.

[BoondockSaint]

Billy Wagner.... Tonight

Are you Steve Phillips?

[Don Stugots]

ok, i agree then Jeter is Han but then who is luke?

[BoondockSaint]

God, you Yankee fans are such nerds. I want to shove all of you in a locker.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Under no circumstances is A-Rod Han fucking Solo.

Damon is Chewie.
Bernie is Obi-Wan.
Jeter is Skywalker.
Cano is Lando Calrissian.
Pavano is C3P0, Posada is R2D2.
Matsui should be R2D2, as he is extremely useful and speaks a language no one else understands, but that's just me.

The answer is obvious. The man who comes in with a grand entrance at the end of the movie to save the day?

Han Solo is Mariano Rivera.

[Tenbatsuzen]

A-Rod is Princess Leia. She's got powers like Luke, but she's a bitch at times.

[Marc with a c]

[Tenbatsuzen]

OK, I know I bitched about Sterling's catchphrases last year, but he's already taking it to a new level.

Apparently, he's going to be using "Mission NOT impossible!" for Phelps. He brought it up during yesterday's game and Liz had to stop me from throwing the radio's faceplate out my truck's window.

i realized that during the offseason i totally forgot about Sterling's gay phrases. now that you brought it up i realize i have a full season of horrible puns ahead, starting tomorrow when i listen to the first half hour on the radio during my lunch break.

Ugh. That's just awful. One of the best things about XM is that I can listen to Yankee away games with the home team's radio guys. I cannot listen to Sterling or Waldmyn.

I don't recall their names, but I thought the Red Sox radio team is one of the better ones I've heard. Not obnoxious and over-the-top like the Yankee team.

[Frosty_Sacknuts]

I remember trashing A-Rod year a few years ago and having pretty much everyone against me. I got a whole bunch of stats about how his numbers were big in late innings or something. I was bitching to co-workers in 04 about how dissapointing he was and he had good numbers at the time. Theyre the most empty numbers ever, kinda like McNabbs 300+ yards in that Super Bowl. He Sucked! Anyway..

Some of you know me from awhile ago and know I'm a big fan and it sucks being away from the states not only because of missing family and other things, but missing all these sporting events really sucks ass. This game coming up in an hour is going to be on live here at 9pm and i'll gt to see the first few innings but I just cant stay up that late.
Theres a ton of things I didnt know about the Yanks, like Sheff was gone, Pavano did'nt play at all last year and random other shit. Itll be great to see some of this game tonight. Go yanks!

Oh yea, is Sterling using my "Melky Milked one" line yet?

[Dan 'Hampton]

Ugh. That's just awful. One of the best things about XM is that I can listen to Yankee away games with the home team's radio guys. I cannot listen to Sterling or Waldmyn.

I don't recall their names, but I thought the Red Sox radio team is one of the better ones I've heard. Not obnoxious and over-the-top like the Yankee team.

The sox split up their radio team this year. Joe Castiglione is still the lead guy but now he has two partners that will split the games in some way. I miss Jerry Trupiano already. But I'll have to give the new guys a chance.

[BoondockSaint]

I think Pavano just pulled a hamstring walking in from the bullpen.

[Frosty_Sacknuts]

Theres goes the no-no.

[BoondockSaint]

E-Rod.

[Marc with a c]

hahahahahahaha

[BoondockSaint]

Here comes A-Rod to bat

"YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"

He strikes out

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!"

[A.J.]

Let me guess: there were men on base when ARod whiffed?

[BoondockSaint]

Two.

[Doctor Z]

Wow, so Murcer isn't just healthy, he's healthy enough to join them in the broadcast booth. That is great to see. Bobby is the shit.

[Dan 'Hampton]

You guys need to be kind to him. He's the "Best Player in Baseball", and I really don't want him playing short for the Sox.

[Doctor Z]

Granted it's the Devil Rays, but I really like what we're seeing from Pavano today. Despite all the controversy and injuries, he looks confident and comfortable out there. His defense has put him in some holes, but he's managed to work out of them with minimal damage. Hopefully it's a sign of things to come.

[BoondockSaint]

Wow, so Murcer isn't just healthy, he's healthy enough to join them in the broadcast booth. That is great to see. Bobby is the shit.

As much as I hate the Yankees he was always a class act. I'm glad he's pulling through this.

[Doctor Z]

Man, Murcer is awesome... he is actually making jokes about his brain tumor. How fucking cool is this guy?

[BoondockSaint]

WOW! That was a fucking bomb.

[Doctor Z]

Shit, look what I did...

[BoondockSaint]

Dr. Jinx_Z

Murcer was just diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

The Melkman Falleth.

[TheGameHHH]

Jeter rocks my fucking world...........yo, funny story. today during the radio broadcast as soon as A-Rod missed that pop-up susan waldman actually made me chuckle. she goes, 'for those scoring at home, it took them exactly 14 minutes to start booing A-rod'.

[Doctor Z]

Is Damon okay? I just stepped away for a bit to make some phone calls, and I saw that Melky is in for Damon in center.

Cramps in his calves.

[TheGameHHH]

contreras got his tits ripped today, that was nice to see.

[TheGameHHH]

a-rod just manufactured that huge run there, i hope people remember things like that

[johnniewalker]

Think kazmir thought for a second that lead was safe?

[Doctor Z]

Giambi is really ripping some good base hits through the direction of that open shift gap. Maybe he worked on that.

[Doctor Z]

So, Farnsworth didn't give up a homerun. That's pretty cool.
Could we be hearing "Enter Sandman" today?

...Hey, remember the time Brian Cashman ignored the fact that the greatest closer of all time was in the last year of his contract? Yeah, me too.

[Dan 'Hampton]

Why did he leave so early?

[TheGameHHH]

A-Rod crushed that ball.

[crb1]

A-Rod crushed that ball.

Did he get booed because it didn't leave the Stadium?

[Doctor Z]

Guess we won't be needing Mo today.

[Doctor Z]

Mo looking spectacular as always. What better way to kick off the season than to strike out the side. Did anyone else notice he was hitting 95-96mph?

I'm guessing Giambi is Player of the Game.

[TheGameHHH]

tomorrow is an off day, of course theyd give mo work today.

162-0????

[Don Stugots]

A-Rod crushed that ball.

he is on pace to hit 162 home runs this year.

that old gag.

[Dan 'Hampton]

Did Pavano leave because of the runs he gave up or because he's hurt?

[Tenbatsuzen]

Did Pavano leave because of the runs he gave up or because he's hurt?

Runs. Got rocked in the fourth or the fifth. He was doing all right until that inning.

[Dan 'Hampton]

Thanks. It's great how MLB gives the sox and yanks extended spring training.

[Tenbatsuzen]

So one man the Yankee fans villified looks worse, and one man looks (a fraction) better.

[BoondockSaint]

Because of A-Rod Mo didn't get a save today! BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

[Tenbatsuzen]

Thanks. It's great how MLB gives the sox and yanks extended spring training.

Yeah, a whole 162 games' worth.

[Doctor Z]

Because of A-Rod Mo didn't get a save today! BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Guy's got a point.

[Snacks]

Did he get booed because it didn't leave the Stadium?

exactly. Yankee fans make me sick. They booed him today for making an error then give him a curtain call for hitting a home run. If was him I would play out the season, show no respect to all these so called fans, dont embrass anyone. Get your stats and go to a team that the fans will actually want you.

[Bulldogcakes]

Bats looked great, bullpen was great. Some things to watch, like Phelps defense at 1st. But overall a lovely opening day.

But don't anyone tell me Pavano had a good outing. I cant listen to it. This is the AAA Devil Rays, and he let up 5 runs (4 earned) in 4 1/3 innings. He threw 73 pitches and he ran out of gas? He's got a long way to go before I have any confidence in him.

[cougarjake13]

The Devil Rays have a really good lineup. There is loads of raw potential up and down that lineup. They are the AAA Devil Rays because their pitching staff is Scott Kazmir and 11 other AA guys.

Not that Pavano had a "good" outing, but without the errors he probably puts together 5 strong innings before falling apart. The guy hasn't pitched in almost two years so the tiredness is expected. It's something to build on, plain and simple. He showed flashes, at least. He builds up some arm strength and he could be a solid 3-4.

Agreed.

and thats they way they'll always be until they can afford better free agnet pitchers or some of their annual #1 draft picks turn into something decent

[BoondockSaint]

Tampa Bay's offense was good enough last year to score the least amout of runs in MLB.

by two runs over the pirates

[BoondockSaint]

by two runs over the pirates

The nine teams ahead of them are all National league teams. So even with a DH they couldn't outscore 1 NL team. I don't want to hear about how decent their offense is. They have some very good young players but they never score and that is the biggest part of having a good offense.

They also had a half season of Baldelli and little of Zobrist, Delmon Young, Elijah Dukes, Akinori Iwamura or BJ Upton. They also shed the Greg Norton/Jorge Cantu/Jonny Gomes/Aubrey Huff/Travis Lee/Damon Hollins dead weight that saddled their starting lineup last year.

So maybe they go from dead last in baseball to third or fourth worst in th AL. They should be better this year but they are still not even a middle of the pack offense.

No further questions, your Honor.

[Bulldogcakes]

I never said that. I'm just pointing out that people keep saying that the Rays have this decent offense and they just don't.

Yep. Boonie, this is just another example of the excuse making that has become part and parcel of the Torre regime. He's made excuses for years for Pavano, Big Unit and Kevin Brown, and others. He told us the Yanks had "A good approach" in games 4-7 of the 2004 Red Sox Series, when anyone with eyes could see the whole team was pressing. He told us after losing to the Tigers (who limped into the playoffs) that "No one can tell me we didn't have a good season". This is Joe Torre, and this is why I wanted him fired. No accountability.

There's a way of doing this without knocking a player, which of course he cant do. But he could have some standards and consequences around there. But thats not Torre's way, he's above that.

[Bulldogcakes]

They also had a half season of Baldelli and little of Zobrist, Delmon Young, Elijah Dukes, Akinori Iwamura or BJ Upton. They also shed the Greg Norton/Jorge Cantu/Jonny Gomes/Aubrey Huff/Travis Lee/Damon Hollins dead weight that saddled their starting lineup last year.

So you're arguing they got rid of the proven failures and replaced them with unproven players? What exactly does that mean, if anything?

SPY Report

New York Yankees center fielder Johnny Damon has a sore right calf and wasn't in the posted lineup for Wednesday's game against the Devil Rays, which was postponed because of rain.



Damon


"I could barely walk," Damon said. "It felt like cramps the other day, but it's definitely much worse than that."

Damon left Monday's opening victory over Tampa Bay with cramps in both calves, but said Wednesday only the right one was still bothering him. In the clubhouse, he had his right calf wrapped.

"We're probably dealing with a strain, but to what degree we don't know yet," general manager Brian Cashman said. "No bruising. It's not swollen. But it's sore."

Melky Cabrera was slated to start in center field Wednesday, and second baseman Robinson Cano was in the leadoff spot.

Cabrera will fill in for Damon until he returns. If Damon has to go on the disabled list, the Yankees would probably call up an outfielder from the minors. But after talking with team physician Dr. Stuart Hershon, Cashman said a stint on the DL was "not something that's being recommended right now."

No tests on Damon were planned yet. First, Hershon wants to see how Damon feels Thursday, Cashman said.

The GM was asked if an injury to Damon might open up a spot for former outfielder Bernie Williams on the major league roster. Cashman had a one-word answer: "No."

Williams, a longtime stalwart and fan favorite, declined New York's offer of a minor league contract in the offseason and never came to spring training.

Yankees manager Joe Torre said he's comfortable with Cabrera, who got plenty of playing time as a rookie last season because of injuries to fellow outfielders Hideki Matsui and Gary Sheffield. Cabrera batted .280 with seven homers, 50 RBIs and 26 doubles in 460 at-bats. He also scored 75 runs and stole 12 bases while playing excellent defense, especially in left field.

"Obviously, if it doesn't start to get better, we'll become more concerned," Torre said, referring to Damon. "We're certainly confident in Melky's ability. The fact that he played as a regular player for us last year, I feel pretty good about that."

BTW, did anyone read that the guy who was the Yankees mascot for the AAA team was picked up in a Dateline-style kiddie sting?

This is not a Yankee problem; he was hired when the team was run by the phillies and the mascot itself is a Phanatic take-off.

Cano by far has the best range in infield. A-Rod is average and Jeter can't field anything hit to the left of him.

Honestly, if I'm in Hawaii, I'm not going to waste time watching May baseball.

The last time we were on vacation, it was different, because it was the playoffs, and the time difference made it the late afternoon. (Game would start at five, so we'd watch in a sports bar and have drinks, over by 8:30, and we'd go out and watch a movie or something)

You rooned our AZ vacation with your pouting about the Yankees losing to whichever stupid CA team it was that they were playing and freaked out about having a place to watch it back in '05. (OK, maybe it wasn't ruined entirely, but it was pretty annoying how pissed off you got over the game. They all played like ass and there were a couple of bad calls by the umpires, but I didn't see the sense of getting so pissed off!)

Just don't forget that I'll go to a sports bar at 8am with you to watch the Jets play (or pretend to play, as the case may be made for either) [because there's usually food and many "lovely beverages" involved (mmmm. . .Bloody Marys and chorizo omelettes. . .)] but at least doing that doesn't kill the rest of the day for activities.
