The YES Network played a seven minute video clip that I recoded using my evo. Not the greatest quality, but you get the idea… I will enjoy watching it a few times, so I figured why not post it… so if you haven’t seen it, or you want to see it again, enjoy…
As always…
GO YANKEES!!!
I KNOW EVERYTHING!!!!
This guy is such a fucking blow hard. Because the Yankees lost the last two games they can’t possibly win the division according to the Pope.
Well FUCK YOU Fat-man! This guy is so full of shit. He is getting what he wants, pissing off Yankee fans, so his pathetic ass gets ratings he so desperately desires. Well he ain’t getting the ratings from me today. The only one who is done is him, I am shutting his fat ass off. I hope some of you also shut his ass off… and God forbid you call and disagree with him, you will be waved off and dismissed as the pesant he thinks you are…
FUCK YOU FRANCESA… I hope the Yankees shove it down your throat. If they win the division this fat fuck will say he knew it all along, and if you cite today’s diatribe he will dismiss you.
Done ranting for now…
GO YANKEES!!!
Not a CY Young Type Game For CC
The Yankees stunk last night… Not much needs to be said about the loss more than that.
Vazquez was really bad… Who walks a guy, then hits the next three batters? Javier Fucking Vazquez that’s who… what a joke.
The Yankees are still in 1st place by half a game, and the will make the playoffs, unless they really just don”t win again…
Tonight it’s the Red Sox in the Bronx… Pettitte will make his second start since coming off the DL. He looked very good last time out, and hopefully that continues tonight. Andy is such an important part of the rotation. Without him pitching the team would be in serious trouble. A strong outing tonight would ease a lot of tension within the fan base…
Beckett is pitching for the Red Sox, and that is fine by me. That guy is not an ace… heck he isn’t even a number 4 starter anymore, no matter what the sheeple of RSN will yap at ya. I know he’s been injured much of the year, but the Yankees have handled Beckett pretty well over the years, outside of 2003.
That’s all for now…
GO YANKEES!!!
What does that translate into? A loss… An ugly loss on a very long rain soaked night in the Bronx. There is no point re-hashing how bad the pen was, I don’t expect to see any of those guys on the post-season roster, baring some catastrophic event.
The loss isn’t that big a deal. The Yankees still have a 1.5 game lead, and CC is on the mound tonight. Price goes for the Rays, and it should be a heck of a rematch… I just hope it isn’t decided by the pens… but if it is I hope we see Joba, Wood, and Mo… not Moseley, Gaudin, and Albaladejo.
AJ looked pretty good last night, even if it was for only 3 innings before the rain and the lightning forced a two hour delay. Hopefully he keeps getting better as the playoffs get closer. If AJ can get his shit together the Yankee rotation with CC, Pettitte, Hughes and AJ will rock.
That’s all for now…
GO YANKEES!!!
Berkman Goes Yard
Lance Berkman finally hits his first home run as a NY Yankee… It came in the bottom of the 5th in a game that has already seen a 2 hour rain delay.
The Yankees are still behind 2-1 going into the top of the 6th.
That’s all for now…
GO YANKEES!!!
Since I’m bored out of my mind during rain delays I look at You Tube… Figure I’d share a couple of my favorite Yankee related videos. Enjoy…
Have any you love, share them in the comments section!

GO YANKEES!!
Another good win for the Yankees last night. Hughes was shaky for the first 4 innings, but held it together, and dominated in the 5th and 6th innings. Girardi brought him back out to start the 7th as well, even tho he was over 100 pitches on the night.
Hughes line for the night was 6.1 IP, 4 H. 3R. 3 ER, 5 BB, 6K. The 5 walks he gave up is a little concerning, and could have led to much more damage from a better hitting team. That total needs to come down if he is going to be effective in the post-season. Though before this game he had only allowed 1 walk in September… so who really knows what to expect.
The win last night also guaranteed that the Yankees go into the weekend series with the Red Sox holding first place in the AL East. The win also brings the Yankees magic number down to 3 to clinch a playoff spot…

The pen was excellent last night, and I would really like to give credit to Joba Chamberlain. Joba has been ripped by Yankee fans all season long… Heck, he has been ripped by people the last couple of years… So much expectation has been put on this kids shoulders. Anyone who has read this blog in the past, and there probably aren’t many left, know how much I supported Joba as a starter. I still think the Yankees should have sent him to the minors and allowed him to develop into the starter I think he could be… but that’s another conversation. Having said that, Joba was LIGHTS OUT last night. He pitched 1.2 innings, gave up only 1 hit, and came into a hard situation to shut down the Rays and earn the save… Not sure I like how saves are determined but that isn’t up to me, nor does it matter in the long run.
The Yankee pen has been very good since Cashman went out and got Kerry Wood. He solidified the entire pen, created some competition, and has made everyone better. Robertson has also been great… and of course Mo is always waiting in the wings… I like where the pen is right now, and hope everything holds together over the next couple of weeks.
Tonight A.J. vs Wade Davis… A guy who married a girl from the town I live in. From what I understand he is a very good guy, but never the less, I hope the Yankees embarrass him in front of his friends and family… Sorry Wade, and anyone from Marlboro who may like him.
Hopefully the good A.J. shows up, and the offense gives him a ton of run support…
As always,
GO YANKEES!!!
Last night wad an emotional night for the Yankees and the fans. A new addition was to be revealed in monument park before the game started. George M Steinbrenner, “The Boss,” would be joining the greatest of Yankees with a monument of his own.
On hand for the ceremony were many former Yankee greats such as Yogi Berra, and Reggie Jackson, as well as Don Mattingly, and Joe Torre, which was great to see, and the fans let them both know how welcome they were at the new house.
The monument is huge, dwarfing everything else in Monument Park, but that is somewhat fitting… The Boss was larger than life, and the new house is the house that George built so I’m ok with it.
The inscription reads:
GEORGE M. STEINBRENNER III
July 4, 1930 – July 13, 2010
New York Yankees Principal Owner
“The Boss”
1973 – 2010
Purchased the New York Yankees on January 3, 1973.
A true visionary who changed the game of baseball forever, he was considered the most influential owner in all of sports. In his 37 years as Principal Owner, the Yankees posted a Major League-best .566 winning percentage, while winning 11 American League pennants and seven World Series titles, becoming the most recognizable sports brand in the world.
A devoted sportsman, he was Vice President of the United States Olympic Committee, a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame’s Board of Directors and a member of the NCAA Foundation Board of Trustees.
A great philanthropist whose charitable efforts were mostly performed without fanfare, he followed a personal motto of the greatest form of charity is anonymity.
Dedicated by the New York Yankees

There was also a game to play, a game against the Tampa Bay Rays, a team only half a game behind the Yankees.
Ivan Nova pitched well for 5 innings, before hitting a wall in the 6th. Still, Nova continues to impress me in each start… once he gets some seasoning I expect him to be a very solid major league pitcher.
The story of the night however was Curtis Granderson and his 2 homerun, 5 RBI night. He lead the Yankees to an 8-6 victory and helped the Yankees increase their AL East lead to 1.5 games.
If the Yankees can win tonight they will guarantee themselves first place going into the weekend series with the all but dead Red Sox.
It’s a beautiful day today, so enjoy it and get ready for tonight game. It’ll be Shields vs Hughes in the Bronx…
As always…
GO YANKEES!!!
