anyone know if this is televised?
Gardner is the only prospect still with the big team playing a lot. Good sign for him. Everyone else has been sent to minor league camp.
it will be on YES at 1pm
It will be on the YES network at 1pm.
I wonder if the Rays do anything to the Yankees it will be all the Yankees fault and they’ll get all the heat.
oops, sorry for double post. Thought the first one never made it.
all i know is IPK better have his control today because if he so much as brushes a guy back it’s gonna be an ejection. suspension if he hits a guy. it’s ridiculous.
The Yankee pitcher with the least control from this group is Igawa. Hope he does not hit anyone! If he does it won’t be intentional.
Quote from Maddon regardinig Melky on Yankees.com….”That needed to end up in discipline,” Rays manager Joe Maddon said Friday. “That is inappropriate to sneak up from behind somebody and hit them in the back of the head. Nobody is going to agree that is the right thing to do. I’m pleased they caught all of that in the video, and that is appropriate action.”
Sneak up behind and hit them in the back of the head …am I wrong or didn’t Gomes come rushing in from behind to slam (or at least try to slam..lol) Shelley???
I think Maddon better start thinking before speaking …he’s starting to remind me of HANK !!! lol
Go Yankees 2008 !!!
Maddon is a moron…think about it, He took the Rays job.
I think Maddon just enjoys the attention. The Rays been given more airtime in the past week than they have had since their team came into existence on the backs of Yankee and baseball welfare.
I used to feel for the Devil Rays but now they are like the nasty, ugly step-sister that never gets asked to the ball.
How about sneaking up on someone and sucker punching them. In a fight you expect someone to hit you. SItting on the ground you don’t.
disclaimer I am not agreeing that Melky did anything.
It’s obvious that the Yankees don’t plan on hitting anyone on purpose. Kennedy and Rivera have excellent control. Traber has good control. If Igawa hits someone everyone knows he has no control whatsoever.
“Gardner is the only prospect still with the big team playing a lot. Good sign for him. Everyone else has been sent to minor league camp.”
Well, there’s Ohlendorf and Patterson and Veras and all the other pitchers too.
The Yankees don’t really have any position prospects closer to the majors than Gardner. So, it makes sense. But he’s definitely making a very good impression. If he can carry this success into the regular season and continue to get on base in AAA, that’ll be big for him.
That scrub Gomes isn’t in the lineup. That’s perhaps the smartest move Maddon has made in his life.
Who is Porter? Porter Goss or Joey Porter?
The Rays keep whining and screaming criminal throughout this whole thing, but I know deep down they are loving it. When’s the last time and when will they ever again get this much coverage?? I bet if the Yanks completely slam the brakes on this so-called feud, Rays will instigate things again just to have another go at their 15 minutes. It’s got nothing to do with tough guy bravado, it’s more like desperate cry for attention.
“There are going to be problems, especially if they go after our stars,” Steinbrenner said. “It’s not going to be tolerated. We never
have done it to them. It’s just not going to happen anymore.”
As for the suspensions and fines, Steinbrenner said, “If I got any problems with any of that I’ll take care of that with Bud [Selig].”
“I don’t want these teams in general to forget who subsidizes a lot of them, and it’s the Yankees, the Red Sox, Dodgers, Mets,” he said. “I would prefer if teams want to target the Yankees that they at least start giving some of that revenue sharing and luxury tax money back.
From an owners point of view, that’s my point.
Dee agreed they didn’t get this much attention in 10 years of play.
JK – I was just about to post that from today’s NY Post. You have to love Hank. He speaks the truth. All of the team love the Yankees when it comes to revenue sharing.
Where is super coward Elliot Johnson today ? Wanna bet he’s been designated for assignment.
I hope Joe gives the don’t do anything stupid speech. That if anything happens there is a time and place to take care of it, and today isn’t the time nor the place.
Nothing will happen today. Igawa (who has terrible control) was switched for IPK. Gomes is not playing either so I think both Maddon & Girardi want to put this “feud” to bed.
One good thing, this brawl has taken the spotlight of Clemens. Haven’t seen a steroid story in 7 days…haha.
scorpio I don’t think Maddon wants to put it behind him, if he did he would stop talking about it.
Scorpio – Igawa is pitching, but later on in the game.
Jennifer – I agree with you. The Rays are loving all of this publicity. Nobody ever talks about them otherwise.
Jennifer I’m normally in the camp of anti anti but I’m gonna have to join the anti Rays!! (pump fist Joba style)
I agree with Hank (have been agreeing with him a lot lately, what’s wrong with me??). Listen up Rays: don’t bite the hand the feeds you. Imagine if Girardi threatens not to put Arod and Jeter in the lineup for away games in Tampa Bay to avoid injury? I bet Rays ownership will stop this whole feud immediately because it will hurt ticket sales.
Anyway, enough with all this mickey mouse, it’s time for championship.
A Tampa writer is trying to stir the pot….

The intrigue started early Saturday, as the Yankees first called the Rays to tell them they wouldn’t be able to take batting pratrice on the field at Legends Field because it was supposedly too wet. So with plans to leave at 9:30 they Rays will instead have to hit in the batting cages in Tampa.
Then the Yankees sent word that they had changed their pitching plans, switching from lefty Kei Igawa to righthander Ian Kennedy. It’s not totally unusual for teams to make a switch, but they often go to a pitcher who throws from the same side as the scheduled starter as a courtesy. And it turns out the Yankees are only pushing Igawa back a few innings. Apparently it was something to do with their minor-league fields being wet.
Is the game on the radio? I have to go out
i just watched the video of the play, and Duncan didn’t do anything dirty. it was a hard slide at the bag, and his foot went for the ball.
the photo that Pete posted on this blog right after the event was misleading, in that it showed the end result of the play – at that point, the left foot was not near the glove, which the 2B had moved. but on the video, when Duncan slid, his left foot went straight for the glove.
am i misunderstanding the rules here? i thought you were allowed to go for and kick out the ball when sliding into a base, as long as you slide thru the bag.
now this level of intensity shouldn’t happen in ST. I’d agree on that. but by that standard, it’s equal to the Cervelli play.
Jennifer -you are out of luck. Today’s game is not on radio.
Kill-Schill(ing)…
re: “Who is Porter? Porter Goss or Joey Porter?”
Goss will be 70 in December, and he’s probably fishing. Joey Porter is trash talking, perhaps while fishing with Goss.
Maybe it’s that scrub Gomes with a fake beard, afraid to show himself without a disguise.
