If Gardner keeps this shit up, how the hell can you even consider signing crawford or werth? The entire team is log jammed at this point.

26.
You have Granderson, who is under contract under at least 2012.
Swisher is under contract through 2011.
The DH spot in 2011 is basically Posada's.
The Ajax-for Granderson trade is just maddening to me. If the Yankees were so dedicated to cutting Salary, they could have tried Ajax in the OF for a year and then make a move for Werth or Crawford. But they took on a big contract for the most prized prospect in their system.
I guess no one saw Gardner being this good. And I feel that if he keeps this up, the odd man out is going to be Swish which really sucks.

Relax on Ajax
How many times have you seen rookies come out to a fast start and fizzle.
Granderson will be fine for us.

But everyone was jerking off when Cashman signed CC that he had him targeted A YEAR BEFORE HE WAS A FA and that's why he didn't trade the future for Johan.
So I don't want to hear this bullshit when Werth and/or Crawford are in Fenway next year that Cashman didn't do his job. Either Cashman decided not to target either of them, or he really fucked up this year.
(well, not foreseeing the emergence of Gardner, but hints were there last year)
Kevin

His avg is down to 342 and has 1 hr 10 Rbis.

Its an ok hitter with no power and speed.

They can both go there.
1.. Crawford is reaching his 30s. His main attribute is his speed. Thats going to start to decline. He does not have the power nor hitting ability to survive that.
2. Werth hits in a great hitters park. I'd love to have him, but this is not a no brainer like Tex. We won't regret not getting him for years to come like Bos does with Tex.
3. We frankly can't have EVERYONE.

This. That's my whole point. I don't want the Yankees to be so fucking good. I want them to struggle - it makes winning that much more fun for me.
That's why I like this team. It's the right mix of free agents, young homegrown talent, and traded-for talent.

Pitchers & catchers report to Spring Training on Thursday. Who grabs the 5th spot in the rotation? Where exactly does everyone wind up in the outfield? What does the bullpen look like?
Let the discussions, and subsequent hatred, begin!

Tenbatsuzen
05-15-2010, 05:43 PM

For what? the only "weakness" or "need" this team has if you can call it that is pitching, and the Yankees are going to have a rotation of CC-AJ-Phil-Javy until at least through 2011.
The entire Yankee infield is locked down for at least the next three years.
Are you really going to give up a unique weapon in Gardner for an arm that can only help you once a week?
I know this sounds insane, but I really don't want Werth or Crawford. I want the outfield we have. I LIKE the outfield we have.

Not to make excuses... but here's some excuses:
A) The ump is squeezing Mariano fucking Rivera on not one but two pitches in the at-bat against Thome. That at-bat was bullshit.
B) Tex holds onto that liner when Joba was still in the game, the Yankees win this game 3-1.
C) Girardi lets Joba finish the inning, we probably retain the lead.
This one is a doozy. So close to the sweep. This hurts.

C) Girardi lets Joba finish the inning, we probably retain the lead.
Every chance you Yankees clowns get, you tout that Rivera is the greatest closer ever. How is it Girardi's fault for going to him if he's the best closer ever? He just got beat.

Mariano IS the greatest ever. He's allowed to make mistakes occasionally. But why is Girardi managing this game like it's the 7th game of the World Series? Do we really need a 4 out save from Mo in the middle of May? We're trying to wrap up a sweep at home. Let Joba finish the inning.

A 4-out save in the American League doesn't really matter. Its the number of pitches that count.
Its not like a real league where a manager would have to think about the implications of putting in a closer and messing with his lineup.

I was there tonight, and it def replaced Game 1 of the 1996 WS as the most fun game I've ever seen live. Even though the Yanks got their asses handed to them in that '96 game it was still just amazing to say I went to the World Series and after the game was out of hand it was interesting to just sit back and take in the moment. Nonetheless, tonight was something I'll remember forever.

well you have Cervelli up first and he gives the Red Sox an out by bunting (even though he's hitting like 1.000 w RISP) a quick guy over to third who's going to score on a single anyway even if he's on second. Then you leave the game up to Thames and Winn.

I go to the TV and turn it on to see how it unfolds..
They are in commercial..
Is it sad that i knew that the Yankees made the 3rd out and didn't score, instead of hey they may have gotten a big hit and scored and Tampa changed the pitcher...
And is it sadder that without even checking, i knew who made the final out?

I would agree with any other closer.
Not Mo.
He is in a different class.
His #s and longevity puts him over the top. You are lucky to get 5 dominant years from a closer. Mo has given them 14.
You can compare Jeters years with his counterparts through the years.
You can't come close to that with MO, especially in the postseason.

There's only one person who wants to kick my ass. Let's be honest here. And for the past year, I've had a pretty good reason not to go to events, in case you haven't noticed.
And by your fucking logic, if I have no friends, why would I go to R&F events? Circular logic is circular, goddamn you're dumb.
i can think of 2, although you are quickly pushing it up to 3. Leave me alone tool. We get it, the point was made, no go play with your kid or something. I dont have time to entertain you

Phil Mushnick. Apparently one of the reasons why he's off is because he basically fucked him in the mouth on ESPN this afternoon.

wow
Michael Kay spent about 4.5 minutes on 1050 ESPN radio this afternoon expressing his displeasure with my New York Post counterpart, Phil Mushnick.
Here's my transcript of the rant, which doesn't do justice to Kay's tone, which was venomous, to put it mildlly:
“This is a quote from Phil Mushnick’s column in the Post today: ‘Now a scold: When Kay lifts a chunk from a newspaper column, repeats it almost word for word on his radio show as if it’s his original thought and he doesn’t credit the author, or at least the publication in which it appeared, that’s dishonest, a form of theft.’
“First things first: Who the hell are you to scold me? My mother and father scolded me and they’re dead. You’re not, OK? Don’t ever scold me. You don’t have that right to be scolding me, nor do you have that gravitas. You’re nothing, OK? And what you wrote is untrue. Because of all the people that you talk to, even people at this station, I’m obsessed with giving credit. Some of my best friends in the world are newspaper writers and I always give credit.
“If I inadvertently or unknowingly gave the same kind of thought that was in a newspaper column without crediting it, well then I apologize for that. But I want you to tell me what I did and when I did it. Because the way you write it it’s like it’s a constant thing, and that’s fraudulent on your part. Fraudulent. That is not true. And I’ve got stuff on you. You want to question ethics? I’ll bring it out, too. I’ve got plenty of things that would question your ethics and your morals and the way you do your job. And I’m going to leave it open-ended, too. How does that feel?
“You guys have thin skins. If you think about, what are critics? Critics are parasites that live off the work of others and critique it. Do something on your own. I’d never steal a line from your column, Phil, because I know every single day exactly what you’re going to write.
“Let’s see: You’ll rip Mike Francesa, who’s one of the most successful people in this business. You’re going to rip John Sterling, who’s one of the most popular people that does major league baseball. Oh, yeah, you also don’t like when people say, ‘Let’s break it down.’
“And you don’t like the term ‘walk off.’ And you think that ESPN self-congratulates itself. Oh, yeah, and black uniforms. You’re a six-trick pony, baby. You write the same thing. You don’t get off your couch in your living room and you have the nerve to question my ethics and my honesty? How dare you? You have no right and you have no credibility to do it.
“Get off your couch and cover an event! Do something that comes from your mind rather than critique other people. And look at the people that you do like. Most of the people that you think are good, you couldn’t pick them out of a lineup if you’re an average fan. Gee, I guess if you look at the people that you don’t like, they happen to be successful and popular.
“I wish I could overtake Mike Francesa. I try to do that every single day. And you have the nerve every day to hammer that guy and John Sterling? For the last 20 years you’ve written the same column. Now you’ve gone too far when you question the fact that I steal people’s ideas, when I don’t have enough of a frame of mind to come up with my own stuff, I have to steal people’s ideas without giving them credit? I don’t do it. I’ve never done it. And you write an open-ended thing like that without giving a specific case? How dare you?
“Don’t scold me. I’m not your son. How dare you scold me? You ever scolded me to my face I’d punch you in the face. Scold me in print? No. That’s not the way it works. I’m not going to let you get away with it. I know what I just did because I know how thin-skinned people like you are. Now you’re going to come back every single column and you’re going to rip me for something I say. Good. I like where I am.
“Because one day when I die more people are going to be sad than happy. And when you die it’s going to be the complete opposite. Because people hate your guts in the business. Nobody respects you and then you have the nerve to take me on? Well, it’s not going to happen. The next time you rip me, I’ll rip you again, and I’ll say all the things I know about you. I’ll rip you again! So don’t you ever come after me, with my ethics and my morals and my honesty, because I am beyond reproach with that.
“I’m obsessive with giving credit if I see something on the Internet, if I read something in the newspaper and you say I’m picking up people’s ideas? That’s a load of crap. You’re full of it. You’ve run out of things to write. Now I’m in your bull’s eye? Go for it. Bring it on. I’m ready for you. I have no respect for you. I have no respect for what you write after what you wrote today.
“I used to think that you were a straight shooter and that you really believed what you wrote. But you just write an open-ended thing like that like I stole somebody’s idea and didn’t give credit, like I don’t have ideas of my own? Please, stop yourself. You make me sick.
“It’s 3:57. Let’s go back to the phones.’’

I just got done watching the game (cause I felt like being a loser and going to the gym and tivoing a Yankees game on my friday night) and I'm really not that upset about tonights loss. AJ didnt pitch too terribly, the few mistakes he made he paid for. You just can't leave fastballs up over the plate for a team like Toronto, he did and they took advantage.
One thing that really stuck out for me was in the 1st inning Granderson made a nice catch against the wall. Gardner doesn't make that play, I just dont see him as athletic enough as a defender to do that. It's good to have Curtis back in that lineup.

I'm more annoyed at whoever uploaded the video. Invasion of the kid's privacy plus the only reason it's up there is to make fun of him.
And why is it hilarious that I would be indignant? As I said, the kid wasn't bothering anyone and the only reason that video was taken to make fun of someone who can't defend themselves.
