2014 Yankees Season

[WRESTLINGFAN]

After going on a spending spree this past winter, Yanks start tonight against Houston. CC Slimmed down, Pineda had a decent spring training and we will see if Tanaka can handle MLB batters as he had a decent spring as well.


Play Ball!!!!

[WRESTLINGFAN]

Anyone want Eduardo Nunez? Yanks just released him.

This may be a long shot prediction. Maybe they will sign Drew

[spoon]

yes yes, they really need to spend more

half a billion…again after missing the playoffs…how do they do it

sigh

[zildjian361]

Yankees Baseball Tonight Mo Fo's :smoke::drunk:

[spoon]

yeah, bunch of stolen all-stars…competitive balance!

YAH!


makes the MLB/MLBPA statement on getting better PED rules and testing making the league a more fair and competitive field HILARIOUS!

[WRESTLINGFAN]

Looks like you're going to have to come up with a new nickname for CC . Can't call him Fatbathia

[spoon]

He'll be back by the end of the year. And he's not fucking skinny.

[joeyballsack]

Yes, sign Drew so the Sox can get a draft pick for him at least.

[KC2OSO]

nice outing for cc ... ah.. it's early

but - Suzyn is still there on WFAN.
Baseball. A game made for radio.
I can't listen to another season of Suzyn.

[WRESTLINGFAN]

Sterling is no better.

I'm dreading the corny new catchphrases for Beltran Ellsbury and McCann

Kay sucks too.

[zildjian361]

Kuroda will stop the Bleeding :smile:

[spoon]

yah, figuring they are facing that imposing Astro cast of anti-all stars and HUGE payroll

Fowler (28 years old, 668 mlb games)
Grossman (24, 64)
Castro (26, 265)
Altuve (23, 357)
Carter (27, 255)
Krauss (26, 52)
Dominguez (24, 201)
Presley (28, 232)
Villar (22, 59)

* The TEAM has a grand total 2,153 games under their belt…and a hefty $44.5 million payroll in contrast to $203.8 million (~ a fifth)

Jeter 2603 games
Arod 2568
Beltran 2065
Ichiro 2061
Soriano 1909

they should be embarrassed

[spoon]

and another year of bs spankee ass kissing ensues

fucking pathetic


let's give the millionaire more toys and gifts bc he's sooo good to his fans, charity and even that kid who caught his 3k ball. at least Mo is a first class guy and did it first. I soooo hope he hits a light .150 all year, sucks as usually in the field but stays healthy and the yanks almost have no choice but to leg this year out with him. THAT would be fucking fantastic!

[WRESTLINGFAN]

I think it was Chipper Jones who 1st started the trend of this farewell tour and all these gifts etc when someone went to a ballpark for the last time as a player.

While being a Yankee fan, and believe that Jeter is a 1st round HoF inductee, He's not in the same category as Ruth , DiMaggio or players of that type. Sure it's a different game today however Jeter was never a dominant player.


He's going to eat up all this attention now that it's his final year.


If anything these farewell tours won't happen that much with free agency and big name players changing teams via trade or FA

[spoon]

Yah, most good players will end up on the yanks, laa/d soon enough. So
most tours will continue to be like the last two. And chippers was NOTHING like these last two. Every team is trying to one up each other with thoughtful gufts tied into their area and tons of fucking annoying fanfare. Fuck Jeter.

[A.J.]

I think the NBA started the farewell tour thing: I recall Kareem, Dr. J., Larry and Magic having something like that.

Personally, I don't mind it. But the Braves fans are the worst for having bailed on their beloved Chipper Jones after that controversial infield fly rule call when they hurled beer bottles on the field. You couldn't stay to give the guy one final standing O?

[spoon]

Good for them. I'd like to think they were saying fuck u to another standing o too.

[WRESTLINGFAN]

Does Ellsbury trade equities, bonds or commodities?

What would have made that better was if that stupid cunt was wearing a pink hat.

[WRESTLINGFAN]

Ellsbury and McCann scratched for tonight. No reason given.

[spoon]

they want more money

[KC2OSO]

and another year of bs spankee ass kissing ensues
fucking pathetic..


Embarrassing. It's the pussification of ....

What was nice tonight is that Joe saw Nova falling apart and pulled him before they lost the lead. The usually doesn't happen.

Liked Ichiro scoring from second on the dropped pop. Charrie Hussre

The umps doing this Under Review shit is dumb. Reviewing the count?!

[WRESTLINGFAN]

Off to Toronto for next series . Should see how Tanaka does facing MLB batting.

Spring training doesn't count.

[spoon]

yah, just how will the pro pitcher everyone wanted since Yu handle himself…come on

how much you spend on him?

[spoon]

yet one can only hope he sucks and the whole damn yankee team plays like shit for the next century and someone burns down that awful stadium

[WRESTLINGFAN]

They had their chances in the 70's when the Bx was literally burning

[newport king]

Michael Kay needs to stop equating what Tanaka did in Japan to MLB. Fucking Tuffy Rhodes was an alltime slugger there. Im pretty sure 70% of the guys on High School team couldve played pro ball there.

[WRESTLINGFAN]

Tanaka gets the win in his debut. 2 ER over 7 innings not bad at all

[WRESTLINGFAN]

Tex had to leave game. Good news, not his wrist, bad news looks like a leg injury

[spoon]

Japan is WAY above that level now. It is their main sport now.

[Kevin]

Japan is WAY above that level now. It is their main sport now.


I agree. With the amount of guys coming in here and doing well, like Darvish, The Red Sox closer, and others, it's getting to the point where the argument of Japan is an infiror league, especially for pitching, is growing old. They don't seem to have problems translating their ability here.

You can even make the point of the hitters there being tougher to deal with because of discipline and contact. They make contact a hell of a lot more there. Not saying they are better by any stretch, just tougher to pitch to.

[spoon]

good point on the pitching…as they are still ahead of the hitters there, yet it's getting closer. some factors like closer fences enhance power stats out there, but most of those type things are known and easily accounted for. like you said, their hitters are very patient at the plate, usually have short/compact swings and will take what the pitcher is giving them…and if they are now facing the likes of Yu and Tanaka like guys, they sure as heck are getting exposed to solid pitching too.

[spoon]

Very nice rebound for RA.

[Kevin]

Very nice rebound for RA.

Solid performance. I was excited to see Pineda look so good.

With Montero being a mess, this deal looks like it's going to be pretty good.

The pitching has to be very good this year for the Yanks to have a shot.

Despite the new guys, with Tex breaking down, this offense will have trouble scoring.

[WRESTLINGFAN]

Hopefully Pineda will be able to progress. He had a decent spring training, Those shoulder injuries are a bitch. Pryor & Johann were never the same.

[spoon]

I said the spanks won that trade from the start...especially now that we know montero is linked to peds...much less benefitted from the confines of spank stadium. Trades involving cheats should elicit compensiation picks. THAT would surely make teams take policing it seriously.

[WRESTLINGFAN]

Montero looked rather portly when he arrived at Mariners camp

[spoon]

This just in, Girardi blamed this loss on man in white stealing signs.

[WRESTLINGFAN]

Another weak outing by Nova. Yanks smoked by O's today

[WRESTLINGFAN]

Strong outing by Tanaka. Already has 28 K's in 3 outings

[spoon]

Shocker. How do they keep finding all these hidden gems in the draft?!

Hahahahaha!

[Kevin]

Shocker. How do they keep finding all these hidden gems in the draft?!

Hahahahaha!

Hey hey, they created a nice draft by waiving all that cash at him.

[spoon]

Ok, that was funny.

[foodcourtdruide]

I was driving a lot last night and listened to the Yankees/Cubs game on the radio. Honestly, I feel sorry for Yankees fans. You'll have to wait really long to have a good radio broadcast team. Waldman and Sterling are awful homers, and Sterling's home run calls are irritating and embarrassing.

They put a positive Yankees spin on everything, it's terrible.

[WRESTLINGFAN]

I haven't heard any nicknames for the newest Yankees , that's a good thing

[Kevin]

Yankee Stadium looks so awful with all those empty expensive seats in front. It looks like Miami

[cougarjake13]

I haven't heard any nicknames for the newest Yankees , that's a good thing






He hasnt made up any yet ?

[A.J.]

I haven't heard any nicknames for the newest Yankees , that's a good thing

Yangervis Solarte is going to be challenging.

[WRESTLINGFAN]

I can hear it now

To the tune of O Solo Mio

O Solo Arte

[spoon]

solar powered

solar flare

[cougarjake13]

So long solarte!!!

[LeedsJr]

Sing his name to the tune of "Volare".
That's gold, Jerry!

[WRESTLINGFAN]

Triple Play !!!

[Kevin]

Anyone hear the Sterling call?

[WRESTLINGFAN]

Thankfully no. I can imagine him mentioning Optimum online or some other Cable TV Bundle deal for the Triple play

[Kevin]

Soooolarte.. WOOOAH OOH OHHH

Wow Sterling.. Just wow...

[A.J.]

Never Nervous Yangervis? (http://grantland.com/the-triangle/yangervis-solarte-new-york-yankees-whos-that-guy/)

[WRESTLINGFAN]

Ouch 16-1 rout by the Rays

[spoon]

Good for them.

[WRESTLINGFAN]

Nova might go on DL. He's getting an elbow scan tomorrow

[spoon]

Nova might go on DL. He's getting an elbow scan tomorrow

time to go shopping!

[WRESTLINGFAN]

More fuel to hate the Yankees


:wallbash:

[spe5150]

Pictures of his palm & wrist were all over the 'net after his last start. Thinking you're going to get away with it again in a big rivalry/all-eyes-on-you kind of game shows a dangerously low intelligence level. What an ass.

[spoon]

fuel? You insinuate it's not real and or blatant evidence and more cheating assholes from the team that cried out man in white in Toronto!? Joe's a fucking hypocrite cunt too. Not only does he accuse others, he denies things that all come out later.


ahahhahaha!


Nice work Joe…

manager Joe Girardi denied seeing anything on Pineda's hand and refused to answer further questions about it.

blatant bullshit

[A.J.]

Now spoon, I think you're overreacting a bit. The first time it was simply "dirt" on his wrist. This time the pine tar was used for "safety reasons":

"It was a really cold night and in the first inning I (couldn't) feel the ball," Pineda said. "I don't want to like hit anybody so I decided to use it."

I think this is very thoughtful because the last thing you'd ever expect to see in a Sox-Yanks matchup is someone getting drilled by a pitch.

[WRESTLINGFAN]

Nova needs TJ surgery. Pineda suspended 10 games.

[zildjian361]

that's only 2starts making us look BAD:wallbash:

You mean Yankees getting drilled and then doing nothing about it.
