New York Yankees Thread - 2009 World Champions

[Tenbatsuzen]

I bug out after every loss. But something about yesterday's game really dug into me... and drove me to shatter a glass against the wall. Cleaning up wasn't fun. Don't tell my roommate. It was his glass.

God, you're a fucking joyboy, aren't you? Smashing stuff, after a loss, in early June, when you're a half game out of first place? What the fuck is wrong with you? It's baseball, not the stock market.

[Doctor Z]

They count as baseball players too.

And yeah, Giambi, as likeable as he was, for the most part sucked major ball.

[Doctor Z]

Punching out. No Fun Zone.

[TheMojoPin]

But... I was talking pitchers.

Texeria is a pitcher?

[TheMojoPin]

Punching out. No Fun Zone.

Your Fun Zone is terrifying and dangerous to everyone around you.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Texeria is a pitcher?

ding ding ding. winner. Using the Yankees pitcher FA signings to be wary of signing Tex is shady as best and completely doltish at worst.

[spoon]

oh chickenhawk, when will you learn?

[Freitag]

So, the next 7 games will be verrrrrry interesting.

Win tonight, win the series against Tampa.

3 against Boston in Fallonville

3 against the Mets at Yankee Stadium.

Action! Excitement.... suspense.

[Doctor Z]

Tex is a fucking monster.

[Doctor Z]

Swish's getting hot again.

Is Austin Jackson going to get any significant time at the MLB level this season?

[TheGameHHH]

Is Austin Jackson going to get any significant time at the MLB level this season?

he might get called up for a cup of coffee in september, but right now (especially with nady comming back soon) the yanks have more then enough people in the outfield. they would prefer that he stayed in the minors all year and continued to develop, even though he's raking his power still needs to come around.

[Tenbatsuzen]

So Mo may be unavailable tomorrow... Hughes to close?

[JPMNICK]

So Mo may be unavailable tomorrow... Hughes to close?

nah i think they are saving him in case Wang is not ready to go on wednesday like they expect. except to see aceves 6-8 and coke to close

[Doctor Z]

Beckett has been absolutely locked in his last 5 or 6 starts, so we're gonna have to get to him early if we want a chance to win this game. Especially since Burnett's been mediocre at best.

Assuming they actually get the game in tonight.

[Doctor Z]

Where'd you hear Nady was on his way back? Last I heard about him he had a big setback and was speculated to be out for the season.

[JPMNICK]

i keep hearing how close he is to coming back. he is hitting in games, not playing the field but throwing on the side

Xavier Nady making progress (http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/2009/06/09/2009-06-09_xavier_nady_making_progress_pitchers_take_their _cuts_for_nl.html#ixzz0Hx69y3cu&D)

Xavier Nady continues to make progress with his injured right elbow in Tampa, leaving open the possibility the outfielder could rejoin the Yankees next week for their nine interleague games in National League parks.

Nady went 1-for-3 with a home run and a walk in an extended spring game, but the Yankees aren't worried about his bat being ready. He continued his throwing program at a distance of 75-90 feet, and while he experienced no pain he will need to extend that distance to roughly 150 feet before he can return from the disabled list. "We'll just have to send our cutoff guy out a little bit further," Joe Girardi said. "I think there is a chance that could happen."

Nady has been out since April 14 with an ulnar collateral ligament injury, though he was able to avoid the second Tommy John surgery of his career. Nady has played in five rehab games since May 27, going 7-for-20 with three home runs.

[brettmojo]

Burnett's all over the place so far.

[brettmojo]

Yup, all over the place. He just ended up in the center field seats.

[hammersavage]

Why did Beckett come out? 90 pitches?

[brettmojo]

Veras is FUCKING ATROCIOUS!!!!! ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!!

[Doctor Z]

I'm beginning to wonder if we'll ever beat the Red Sox again.

At this point, we've made it virtually impossible to win any sort of season series. So if this division comes down to a tie-breaker, Sox already have it locked up.

[joeyballsack]

Why did Beckett come out? 90 pitches?

Boston has the best bullpen in baseball, why not use it?

[hammersavage]

Boston has the best bullpen in baseball, why not use it?

He had a 1 hitter.

[Fallon]

He had a 1 hitter.

So did our bullpen.

Ohhhhh yeah.

[Doctor Z]

It turns out our suckage against the Red Sox this year is actually suckage of historical proportions. This from MLB.com --

"Josh Beckett hurled six shutout innings, and David Ortiz homered as the Red Sox silenced the Yankees, 7-0, improving to 6-0 against their bitter rivals for the first time since 1912."

God only knows how many were left dead in your wake.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Well, 4-1 isn't as bad as a disaster as it could be.

What I don't get is this... why not send Wang to AAA to work on his stuff? Is it something with the rosters they can't do?

[brettmojo]

Didn't I watch this game last night?

[Tenbatsuzen]

Didn't I watch this game last night?

No, because the Yankees actually scored tonight.

[brettmojo]

Seriously. The Yankees must have had many fans die over the last decade.
That saw world titles, yes.

[hammersavage]

They just said "Wang kept them in the game and they battled tonight" on the YES postgame. What a sham of a network.

And history is made. Wang has the highest ERA ever thru 5 starts.

[hammersavage]

That saw world titles, yes.

9 year olds die all the time. The worlds a dangerous place

[brettmojo]

9 year olds die all the time. The worlds a dangerous place
Of old age?

This isn't a Robin Williams movie.

Wasn't that the 20th century? Did they even have gloves back then when they played "base ball"? Ty Cobb was great, wasn't he?

[hammersavage]

I think they used peach baskets or something to throw the ball into.

Bullshit they said that. Are you sure that they didn't mean Hughes? The first 10 mins of the post game was the question, "What are we gonna do with Wang?"

[TheGameHHH]

what the fuck are they gonna do with the Wanger? he's out of options, they arent going to DFA him and they arent going to trade him. the bullpen is the only option, its so sad to see someone just drop off so hardcore like this (unless his name is big papi)

[hammersavage]

Bullshit they said that. Are you sure that they didn't mean Hughes? The first 10 mins of the post game was the question, "What are we gonna do with Wang?"

I swear the dude said "Wang kept them in it and Hughes did the same". Unless I misheard cuz I really didn't give a shit. But I'm almost positive.

[Dan 'Hampton]

Considering Ortiz's issues, the Boston crowd chanting "You Use Steroids" is rich.

Well chanting "Bitch Tit's" wouldn't fly in most parts of kid friendly Fenway.

[brettmojo]

Put him in the pen. The choices are this:

1) Stunt Wang's development

2) Stunt Hughes' development

In that situation, especially since Wang has one primary pitch, and Hughes has ridiculous, nasty stuff, I feel a lot more comfortable developing Hughes than I would Wang.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

so how do its feel to be the Red Sox's jail bitch


you are better than 90% of all teams, but revert to 5 year olds when playing the Sox

i mean it has only been 7 games, and they are still right up there for 1st place, so i am not sure it really means all that much. it would be awesome to win, but the pitching is in flux right now and they just met up at a bad time. this could have just as easily been 2 loses against texas or anyone else.

Yeah... No.

[JPMNICK]

Yeah... No.

so you are saying with the way they pitched the last 2 games, any of the league leaders would have not beaten them?

[brettmojo]

No. I'm saying the way the were playing BEFORE the Red Sox series they never would have been in this situation with any other team.

Francesa is off!

We're talking about a 2-run lead in the 7th... in Fenway. This one's far from over, my feathered friend.

There's no way Sabathia comes out before the 9th.

He's looked better this series.

Girardi is by FAR, the worst manager in sports.

ANYBODY can clearly see CC was tired in the 8th after the Padroia at bat..

And this woulda not have happened if Joba was pitching the 8th

dont you think a somewhat tired CC is better then the bullpen (aside from Mo)? cause i do.

i agree this was a game they should have won, no excuses. but you gotta look at both sides of a managerial decision.

Don't you think your second point is part of the issue I bolded for you!? Come on man, this is the ONLY area Kev and I agree. I guess you think moving Hughes to the pen makes more sense, but then again you also claimed the NHL finals this year was exactly the same as last year's without watching a single minute of it up to that point. You so know your sports.

[Fallon]

Maybe if your starters lasted more than two innings the previous two games Giradi wouldn't have had to keep C.C. in so long.

8-0 shitfucks

[lleeder]

This team is so bad its ridiculous. None of the pitchers can pitch. They only score runs when they hit a homerun. They can't hit any pitchers that they haven't seen before. I hope they go on a thirty game losing streak. That way they'll be so far beyond any chance of a playoff spot and I can just relax the rest of the summer.

[K.C.]

I'm making the trek up to the game today in a few.

I will personally solve the wind tunnel problem and submit my findings to the Yankees brass before the day is out.

Two things:

1) You can't tell me the field is the exact dimensions. I don't care what's written on the walls, that satellite photo of the old Yankee Stadium imposed over the new that shows the dimensions being shorter in the new one is accurate.

2) It's the way the wind banks off of the old Yankee Stadium. The stadium will play a little more fairly once it's gone.



All in all, it's a much better viewing experience in the seats at the new Yankee Stadium, but the concourse is a little much.

I love the historical paneling of old Yankee highlights that wrap around the concourse, and they did a nice job incorporating a lot of nostalgia stuff, but it's WAY too much like a mall food court.

Also, a decent number of the people they attract now with the new ticket prices don't even pay attention to the game...I know the Yankees got crushed, but that place was pretty lifeless all game from a Yankee perspective.

There was WAY more juice for the Mets before and during the game.

Finally, I have to say...my final tally showed that the chicks in Mets jerseys and BP shirts were hotter than the chicks in Yankees jerseys and BP shirts...this wasn't even close by the way.

All in all, it's decent, but the atmosphere isn't there....I mean really, who the hell wants to eat sushi and get a cut of Wagyu beef for the road at a baseball game?

Oh, and I didn't think the prices were that crazy around the concourse, but then again, I usually just get one beer and one thing to eat at a game...I can see how that just crushes families if they bring their kids

[Doctor Z]

Gotta love the RBI dunk hits from our #9.

[disneyspy]

thats a dumb rule,i mean if you're slidin in to home sometimes you want to nail the catcher so he drops the ball

[Doctor Z]

That call was definitely debatable. But it looked like Damon tried to pull a 2004 A-Rod.

Nice to see AJ is doing his best to give this lead up immediately.

I think it's hysterical that Santana is done and only gave up one HR. Everyone was sweating he was going to give up a zillion HRs.


BTW, is anyone else wondering why Spike Lee is pitching ice cream?

Also, the girl with the closet in the Heineken ad is ridiculously hot.

Speaking of hot girls in commercials, why in the Mohegan Sun "My Sharona" ad, is the focus on the ugliest girl of the three? The girl on the right is RIDICULOUS.

Joe Torre for actually using Felix Heredia.

HAHA! Good point!

[lleeder]

This team is so good its ridiculous. Burnett threw amazingly. They manufactured runs with singles and doubles. They hit the best pitcher in the game Santana all day long and made him look average. I think they might go on a thirty game winning steak. They might be so far ahead of everyone else that I can just relax the rest of the summer.

What a fucking great game to attend today.

And I swear to god I saw Bill Burr there. He walked right by us coming up from the legends seats behind home plate before the game started. I wanted to say something but I wasn't completely sure it was him.

i think unless burnett goes 7 strong tomorrow, we officially have a major starting pitcher issue.
Major starting pitcher issue averted... For now.

Gotta love the RBI dunk hits from our #9.

Fuck Posada. ROCKO CERVELLI RULES!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I bring you... THE FUTURE!!!

That'll be fun to go through again.

[Freitag]

Ok, first, please don't compare the Pat White situation to the Drew Henson situation. it's two totally different things.

1) The Yankees took a flyer on someone who's got a rocket arm and good legs.

2) There is no guarantee Pat White is going to be a starting NFL QB. I mean, he's built for the Dolphins' offense and he's a perfect fit, but there's no guarantee.

The Yankees didn't even have White's phone number to call him, and they drafted him in the 48th round.

I mean, let's see what happens.

stupid baserunning by Cano, even if it was only the 2nd out.

well, Wanger's made it through 2 innings. when do u think he'll implode? 3rd, 4th, or 5th?

2 innings and he's dominating them?? By that rational Wang has almost made it through 3, he must be out of his mind dominant tonight

[RingWraith]

Maybe he's due to be great again.

He is setting down so fast. I go away for a sec and its already 2 outs.

[RingWraith]

:wallbash:

[TheGameHHH]

yea, he's working crazy quick. thats the way to do it man, work fast, change speeds throw strikes.

[JPMNICK]

Maybe he's due to be great again.

or maybe the 5th

[Tenbatsuzen]

Still the best outing of the season for him.

If the Yankees tie or take the lead, does he come out for six?

[JPMNICK]

I love watching Tex at 1b. I really forgot what it was like to have a great glove there. what a huge difference, so many base hits are taken away.

[brettmojo]

Gardner fucking rules.

[RingWraith]

:wallbash::wallbash::wallbash::wallbash:

[Doctor Z]

Well, that is just fucking embarrassing. Not only did we lose to the Nationals...

But we had Bret Gardner standing 90 feet away from home with 1 out, and couldn't get him in. :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash:

[TheGameHHH]

I woulda given A-Rod the steal sign, but hindsight is 20-20

[Snoogans]

Gardner fucking rules.

If the catcher doesnt have to jump to catch the pitch out gardner was DEAD. And if the catcher doesnt drop the ball, same thing, plus ARod didnt even move so he probably woulda got called for interference.

Slow down

[Tenbatsuzen]

I woulda given A-Rod the steal sign, but hindsight is 20-20

Arod can't fucking run with the hip.

[Tenbatsuzen]

BTW, former Yankee Mel Hall got 45 years for his shenanigans with a 12 year old. They do not fuck around in Texas.

[TheGameHHH]

Arod can't fucking run with the hip.

yea well, he cant fuckin hit with the hip either so what difference does it make

[Tenbatsuzen]

yea well, he cant fuckin hit with the hip either so what difference does it make

I knew it was gonna be a double play situation but with Cano up there, you roll the dice. Who else do you put on base as a pinch runner?

[brettmojo]

I got free tickets to todays game. The weather is pretty bad and I was wondering how early will they say that they are going to cancel a game? I don't really want to drive all the way out there and then get turned around because they decided to cancel the game due to the rain.

they think theres a windo to play the game round 3pm. unfortunately for you, because its a day game and the nationals dont come back to the bronx this year, theyre going to wait as long as possible to play this.

Im glad I missed the game today/tonight. Losing a series to the Nats is embarrasing. Now 1/9th of their total season victories have come against the Yankees.

I wonder if all the pitchers that were good somewhere else then came to the Yankees would have been better if they didn't pitch to Posada?

all teams should call up rookie pitchers from AAA to pitch to the Yankees, The Yanks wont win a game for the rest of the season

Thay also said they let anyone who stayed move down and sit any where they wanted. Not sure if they could sit in the 2500 seats but close seats though.

I understand the point, i wasnt using it to say he shouldnt have gotten the bases. Just sayin slow down on him being awesome. Its not like he called it. The coaches tell him to run.

[spoon]

No HRs in that game yesterday! Congrats to the weather for being the first factor to "weigh in" on the situation.

What a terrible mall of a stadium that is.

[lleeder]

Problem solved. Need to hit bad pitchers? Put in shitty hitters. Nice hits Pettitte and Berroa.

I don't know why, but seeing Pena, Cisco, Joba, Melky, and Cano hanging out chatting at the end of the bench put a smile on my face.

Good news for people like me who had tickets and didn't go.

And you know why the Yankees did it, other than it being the right thing to do, was because of the embarrassment that was the USGA in it's handling of their situation. Good of the Yanks to make it a point to do it immediately and not drag it out.

ahhh.

Yeah but it's still skill. And he's still learning how to steal bases in the majors.

Plus that catch the other night was pretty sick too. He's a gamer. He could have folded when Melky came back after he tanked the beginning of the season and lost the CF job but he didn't complain and is does a great job no matter what Girardi does with him.

Learning to steal bases in the majors!? Ahahahaha! I hope u get ur wish and he's ur centerfielder of the future as opposed to stealing another player. Oh and a rookie player should NEVER complain to his skip, especially one without a clear slot in the lineup and or on the team.

He's another way the yanks beat the drafting system....international free agents that for some reason don't enter the draft. So the yanks throw more money then anyone else can for a outside player with potential and no exp in the states. Yeaaaaaaa

Yeah, the Yanks have total domination of international free agent signings. That's why they have Albert Pujols, Dice-K, Felix Hernandez, Victor Martinez, Miguel Cabrera, Carlos Beltran, John Santana and countless other superstars born outside the US. Because they can totally dominate international free agent signings in a completely unfair way.

They get who they want, minus a few times here and there. They simply outbid anyone just like the free agent market. So yes, just like FA not all go to the yanks, that much is true, but in this case you may need to blame ur awful scouts.

You can't compare the FA market with the international marker. The free agent market has a very limited number of largely known players. The international market is an almost unlimited number of completely unknown players. The Yanks can't afford to scout every teenager in every country. And further they can't be throwing millions at latin teenager after latin teenager after latin teenager. If the Yanks tried either of those things it would outstrip even their resources. You can't assert that some huge advantage exists when it's not nor has it ever manifested itself.

And by the way Pujols is from DR and is a part of the am draft, while Beltran and other from PR are a part of the draft as well.


The likes of Santana, Hernandez, Martinez and Cabrera are all from a little country called Venezuela. I'm sure it's pretty hard to find the resources to cover Japan's major leagues and Ven, but hey we all know just how bad the economy has hit the poor struggling spanks. I feel for them, really I do.

If the advantage isn't quite clear it's bc of the same reasons the yanks aren't in the ws every year, they simply aren't a good org. With the FA's, ability to hide mistakes, the international market, the ability to never let a player go they want to keep, the abuse of the FA draft compensation rules and so much more, it's hilarious they haven't even been to the big game in years.

Or it's just not as big a difference as you'd like to believe it is. The Red Sox and Mets have a massive advantage over the rest of the league too. The Mets haven't done jack shit with it and the Red Sox haven't until recently either. And when the Yanks won their recent championships it was because of developing talent and smart trades. The only time I can remember in MLB when a team "bought" it's way to a championship was the Marlins first WS win.

I'm not saying the Yanks don't have an advantage over every other team but it's not enough to overcome everything else they can't control. They are always going to pick late in the draft and that puts them at a disadvantage with the majority of their farm system. And going out and buying free agents who because of the way the free agent system works are past their prime for the most part is not going to be good enough to build a championship team around.
