Wrapping it up from the Bronx
-

- 17
Yada, yada, yada, the Yankees crushed the Padres. Let’s talk a little more about our man Alfredo Aceves.
His start tonight for Trenton against Harrisburg: 8 1 0 0 2 4. 13 groundball outs.
His stats for 6 starts at Trenton: 44 innings, 30 hits, 8 earned runs, 5 walks, 33 strikeouts
His stats for 14 starts this season: 91 innings, 62 hits, 19 earned runs, 13 walks, 70 strikeouts.
Aceves is 25 and a veteran of the Mexican League. He’s been around a little and all evidence is that he knows what he’s doing. It seems about time to get him to Scranton given his dominance of the Eastern League.
Here is all I know about the guy: Brian Cashman and his people can’t stop talking about him. I’d love to find time to go down to Trenton and see him myself but haven’t had the opportunity.
It’s not going to be any time soon because they want to see him pitch in Scranton, but Aceves could in the big league rotation after the break. Props to Jorge from Mexico, who started e-mailing me about this guy two months ago.
As for the big-league team:
The Yankees have won five straight (matching their season high). They’ve won 5 of 6, 8 of 10, 10 of 13 and 18 of the last 26. It would seem that the Land Of .500 has been left behind for good. One would hope, anyway. This is pretty much what happened last year.
The starters have a 1.41 ERA over the last five games. The back-to-back shutouts are a first since May of 2005 against Oakland when the starters were Mike Mussina and Kevin Brown.
The 14 strikeouts tonight were the most for the Yankees at the Stadium in a game since Sept. 17, 2004 against Boston when they also fanned 14.
The Big G: 28 of his 51 hits have been for extra bases. … He has 17 homers, three more than he had in 2007. … Six of his last 11 homers are against LHPs.
A-Rod: He now has 186 home runs as a Yankee. That passes Paul O’Neill for 16th place in history. Hopefully the fans won’t boo Alex tomorrow for having the nerve to do that. … He is 28 of his last 66 (.424) with six homers and 21 RBI. He has settled into one of those MVP grooves he gets on.
Darrell Rasner vs. Jake Peavy tomorrow night. Thanks for reading today. Really appreciate all the comments and discussion.

The Yanks are coming back!!!! Yeah baby!!!!
i’m going to boo him! yeah not really. go arod!
another good day in Yankeeland.. The NL stinks…
Interested to hear more about Aceves, melancon, robertson, cox, and Horne…
those are the legit callups from what I read. Obviously most of them are relievers but I am still praying hawkins and kyle go bye bye…
that pen is being used a lot less then it was a few weeks ago!!!!!
man what a mismatch tomorrow. Just gotta keep it close and hope to knock peavy out early.
Hilarious comment about O’Neill.
Peavy gets wild hopefully tomorrow is one of those times an I expect a better Rasner.
When I read the Paul O’Neill comment I literally shot water out of my nose. Good one.
I gotta think that Rasners time is wearing down. He just isnt that good and has had chances, its time for someone new
Great work there Pete. We all appreciate the quick updates we get from you.
Hopefully Aceves can be effective in AAA and become a resource for the Yankees down the stretch.
Another dynamite night for Austin Jackson in Trenton…4 for 5 w/ a HR and 4 RBIs. His OPS continues to climb each month this season (.708 / .861 / .910).
Thanks for all the updates Pete.
When Hughes,Joba,Kennedy,Aceves can play good up here for more then three starts then maybe there starters but this guy is a AA pitcher.Chase Wright was in AA and the Yankees rushed him.But hey it can’t be tooo hard.
Pete: You’ve been really on the game today–not that you normally aren’t, but today’s a Web Gem performance
Interestin pitching match up tomorrow, but at least now, if it doesn’t go our way, we won’t sink back down to under .500.
We should play National League teams (in American League stadiums, of course) more often.
Rasner on the decline the guy? Nearly every one of his starts was a quality start and some were downright impressive. If it wasnt for last weeks implosion he has been great. Who replaces him? The Yanks can barely find a replacement for Wanger, why replace a solid back end guy it was one start. If he gets shelled tomorrow then we can talk about other options.
Tim.. Rasner had 3.50 ERA and he is 27, not exactly a total disaster, relax..
1 bad inning in 7 starts, he can have 3 more victories with some luck.
he is not the next greg maddux but may be serviceable….
Great play from the Yanks team today!!
As for Trenton I was actually just looking at the stats from this game right before I came here. Aceves is simply dominating Double A and obviously throws strikes 5 walks in 44 innings unreal and how bout A-Jax: 4th hr in 4 consecutive games he decided to total 4 hits as well today. This guys is only getting better and better Joe. I really am praying cashman has deemed him untouchable.
Kobe Bryant is a fraud. Living 5 minutes from the Boston Garden makes me sick to my stomach.
We have a decent shot tomorrow against Peavey. This year he is dominating RHBs, but LHBs are hitting him. He’s about to face a 7-strong lefty attack with 2 right handed HOFers thrown in the mix.
Could the Big G and Moose both be All Stars this year? Maybe even Damon?
Imagine that.
My untouchables: Phil Hughes, Austin Jackson, Humberto Sanchez, Mark Melancon, Alan Horne, and perhaps Jesus Montero.
Defenitely Jesus. He is a man among boys at catcher.
Look for a low scoring pitchers duel tomorrow.
“Pete: You’ve been really on the game today–not that you normally aren’t, but today’s a Web Gem performance
”
True-dat!
Glad to see that after mocking our humble blog community for chatting up Aceves, Pete has joined the party!
BTW – if Robbie can’t grow a mustache, can we at least have Melky and A-Rod use a Sharpie to give him a virtual one?
Robbie jumped to .230 tonight. We’ll need him to elevate that to 290 and give us even more pop.
Peavy doesn’t face offenses like ours right now very often – I think we’ll still have the courage to take the field
Moose should be in the ASG. He’s pitched his heart out this year; without his 10 wins we’d be at best still five under .500
TRADE PROPOSAL:
Melky Cabrera for Jonathan Sanchez
“Peavy doesn’t face offenses like ours right now very often – I think we’ll still have the courage to take the field”
LOL.
This is Peavy’s second start off the DL. Who knows?
Either way, we won 5 in a row, so if we lose it might as well be against a great pitcher who is loads of fun to watch pitch.
Tyler was that a joke I do that trade tonight!
Al,
Depends on who we’re getting in return. For CC, my only untouchables would be Joba, Hughes, and Brackman. My only other caveat would be not dealing AJax and Tabata together, just one or the other.
The Celtics-ugh
Jonathan Sanchez is a 25 year old lefty with great stuff I think we gotta give more than Melk-man.
I couldn’t care less about the NBA, but just what the world needs, another title for Boston. Wonderful.
Wonder if all the clowns there who used to whine about the Yankees “buying” championships feel the same way now that the Celtics did it.
It’s the NBA, no one cares.
Before you guys let the Celtics get under your skin, just remember what the underdog Giants did to the mighty Pats! Makes me feel better.
LA just gave up completely
Let it be known defense in the NBA wins championships.
DEFENSE !!! YOU HEAR THAT JAMES DOLAN !!!
Part of the plan with going with young pitchers this year was based on the idea that the team was going to score a lot of runs.
Right now we’re finally starting to see that offense – the kind of offense that can make up for the mistakes the pitchers make.
Darrel Rasner doesn’t need to be great to be effective. He can win games if he gets the expected support. Same thing for Joba.
If Mussina doesn’t pitch quite as well in the second half they can tolerate it.
The offense should give them the cushion they need to figure out how to replace wang without panicking.
This team was too good not to turn it around. And they may be turning it around much earlier than they did last year. And they aren’t chasing any teams that are running away given the parity in the league.
RSM- Tabata is out of town way before Ajax, and why Brackman I know hes a huge right hander but his arm is not a given especially after TJ. I like Horne more because although his ceiling is not as high he has good mid-rotation stuff and hes alot closer than Brackman.
It’s really good to see the Yankees playing like the Yankees. 18 wins on the last 26. That’s .692 baseball. They’re looking like a play-off caliber team. I know we’re playing against NL teams, but it’s not on all those 26 games.
Thanks, Pete, for quoting me. It feels good. About Alfredo Aceves, I can tell all of you that we need to see what happens in Scranton. I think he will have a good performance up there. He’s not a flame thrower, but a very well controled pitcher. I’ve seen him pitch many times here in Mérida, Yucatán, so I’m sure he can make it in AAA, and then, if they call him up, we’ll all see if he is an MLB pitcher. Having success at AAA does not mean the same on MLB. We know that very well. But I think that he deserves an opportunity after the All Star Break, or, at least, on September, when the roster expands.
And, once again, thank you very much, Pete. You’re awesome. Simply the best.
Hey bob: no they dont. I was just walking over to the 711 with my Giants Superbowl cap on and damn near got beat up. That’s why I hate this city’s people. No matter what is going on they always have a hard on for New Yorkers and New York sports teams.
Tabata is out of town way before Ajax
Tabata nor Jackson is going anywhere this isn’t the same regime. Tabata is the youngest in AA he is allowed to struggle. The funny thing is how the fans show more give up on him than the organization. THE KID IS 19 ! NINETEEN !
Johan gives up another solo
Where’s the Santana homerun count? I hope the Mets get DESTROYED
So is Jerry Manuel’s job on the line now?
Maybe Pete and all his goon buddies in the media can force Omar to fire him now too. lol
Having a team made up of stars doesn’t hurt either.
a 40 point asswhooping at Boston Garden
People in Boston have a small town complex because they are not “The Big City” they are a New England town that happens to be labeled a city. After 96 years of futility they have a big league axe to grind and now that there teams are relevant again they like to walk around and challenge the big boys. Everyone knows that Boston will always be inferior to NYC in population, tourism, money, power, and especially titles sure the Celts have 17 now but the Yanks still have 26, the Giants won one recently, and the Knicks even though they stink now are a very popular team historically. Everyone up in Boston likes to play the role of Lil brother and they do it the best.
Where’s the Santana homerun count? I hope the Mets get DESTROYED
Jose Tabata support takes it’s spot right now.
You know what kills me. You watch the teams who win, and they play sick defense. Spurs are mechanical, Pistons when they did it would lock you DOWN, even the year Miami did it they had a pretty good defensive team.
What do the Knicks do but bring in run and gun D’antoni. That guy isnt going to bring a ship to the knicks. Too bad we ran Van Gundy out of town, I love that guy.
You mean Bosotn isn’t the center of the universe?
This NBA game is a disgrace. The three amigos are showing the world yet another classless sports stunt. Shooting 3’s, alleyoops up by 43. They just poured Gatorade on Rivers and the game wasnt over. Unbelievable. What a joke
Jorge–Some of those games were against Oakland, a playoff caliber team (right now, anyway).
So who gets the NBA Finals MVP?
Kevin McHale?
I think they’ll give it to Robert Parish Bob.
Garnett deserved it I’m not taking that away from him. They sure curse alot.
Good idea by Mets management. Santana is only at 95 pitches and his team is down by 4. Lets wear out the bullpen in a game we are most likely going to lose.
any news of humberto im dying to noe hows his stuff
Winning 0 championships while the Yankees won 26 over a span of less than a century has something to do with Boston’s attittude towards the world. Their newfound sense of arrogance is mostly due to the fact that they now have winning teams. In 2000 you rarely find a cocky Boston fan now you can spit and hit one of these so called ” New England fans.”
Would love to see Rasner totally upstage Cy Young tomorrow. This is Yankees stadium, not Petco park after all.
A note on another guy on the 5th starter audition list: Paul Byrd lasted 4 innings tonight with 9H 5ER against Colorado. He’s now 3-7.
This just in celtics taped the L.A walkthrough, haha, only playing, congrats!!
“Unbelievable. What a joke”
waaaaaa…. you’re a joke. and the Boston Celtics just dominated the lakers for the title.
give credit where credit is due. that was a beatdown.
Mets announcing is so pathetic (here’s looking at you Gary Carter). They have spent the entire Angels game tonight trying to defend what Omar did, clearly ignoring the holes in their argument. I guess a team with no nuts deserves an announcer who’s head looks like a giant nut.
Al,
You are correct. Brackman is VERY far off, and may not pan out at all, but his upside is a young Randy Johnson!
“give credit where credit is due. that was a beatdown.”
Congratulations Boston. But honestly, does anyone really give a hoot about basketball? lol
“sure the Celts have 17 now but the Yanks still have 26″
nobody is comparing the celtics to the yanks except you (in an effort to make yourself feel better… it’s ok).
“does anyone really give a hoot about basketball? lol”
as long as the yanks can win the series, nope
Austin Jackson: 4 of 5, HR, 4 RBI tonight. I like
Boston fans annoy me because before 2000 you could not find an admitted new england supporter. Nowadays everyone is a boston enthusiast, isnt it convenient that the sox, celts and pats have all won championships recently. I have another name for these alleged “New England fans” coming out of the woodwork “Front-runners”.
That Defense chant use to be the Knicks signature
Boston Dave,
Get off your high horse and go celebrate the Celtics. Don’t forget to take the tag off your jersey.
That’s it, Rebecca. I know there’s always people around saying that our rivals are not quality ones. False. We’re in a very good streak. And like John Lennon said, that’s reality.
Paul Pierce the MVP over Ray Allen WOW
“Boston Dave,
Get off your high horse and go celebrate the Celtics. Don’t forget to take the tag off your jersey.”
I’ve been a suffering fan for 22 years. I’ve played more basketball than anything you’ve ever done in your life. Nice try though. Whatever makes you feel better.
““does anyone really give a hoot about basketball? lolâ€
as long as the yanks can win the series, nope
”
I think basketball, on my depth chart, ranks right below ping pong. Maybe about even with poker.
The sport has lost all excitement since the Jordan days.
Boston Dave- You took my words a bit out of context I was simply trying to state that Boston is inferior to NY in championships and they brag about the Celtics who prior to this years havent done anything since a man named Bird wore the green and white. I am a Boston hater not a sympathizer and why would I have to compare the Yanks to the Celtics to make myself feel better if I was a Boston supporter?
“Boston fans annoy me because before 2000 you could not find an admitted new england supporter.”
can’t argue that. there are more bandwagon boston fans in general than ever.
but it’s no different than any other city, except NY, Chicago, and a few others where the fans stick through the thick and thin.
“I’ve been a suffering fan for 22 years. I’ve played more basketball than anything you’ve ever done in your life. Nice try though. Whatever makes you feel better.”
Uh oh, he’s playing the “I’ve done it longer than you so that should give me some credibility” card.
Al (again),
You’re spot on concerning Boston. They have a big fat inferiority complex. With 26 championships, it’s going to be hard for any team to catch up with the Yanks in the forseable future. I believe the only professional team even close is the Montreal Canadiens, who have 24 Stanley Cups. And they won half of those when there was like 3 hockey teams.
Boston Dave enjoy it that Celtics team deserved it. Don’t let anyone take that joy away from you. And I know how suffering is I’m a Knicks fan here and it pains me that Van Gundy’s guy Thibedau who was fired here in NY is the main reason for that defense chant your hearing tonight.
“Uh oh, he’s playing the “I’ve done it longer than you so that should give me some credibility†card.”
no jackass… catherine was talking out of her backside saying that i am a bandwagon fan.
Brandon- i logged in specifically to see the Johan update–
of all night’s, this is the night i want to see the Mets lose.
thanks brandon.
i dont defend other celtics fans. there are many many bandwagon fans but i am not one of them so it’s nice to have a title after suffering for so long.
now the yanks need to take one.
MikeEff I won’t take that away from you either
Nobody in Boston ever has the right to accuse the Yankees or any other NY team of buying up good players and monopolizing championships. The Celtics bought the championship this year.
Thanks B
Congratulations Boston Dave.
I feel bad for mel, she must be crushed.
Boston Dave,
While I respect and believe that you are a true fan of your teams, how can anyone suffer if their teams are the Celtics and Yankees?
LOL at the Oneill comment.
BD you do know you have to explain that to me, Celtics fan/Yankees fan how did that happen ?
Looks like Manuel will be 0-1 and as a Met Coach..
Boston Dave,
I am sorry that I took a shot at you being a bandwagon fan. Every person I have met in the recent yr that claims to be a Celtics fan is the most frontrunning bandwagon jumper I have ever met. I am sorry I grouped you with them. As a true fan (and fan of the game) I just don’t see how you could support throwing up 3’s and alleyoops when up by 40. I don’t care who the team is, it looks awful. Beatdown or no beatdown, up by 40 with 5 min left is not the time for a harlem globetrotting spectacle. I apologize for the shot I took at you but I defend my position that the game left a classless taste in my mouth.
Pierce will also win the 2008 best actress award.
“The Celtics bought the championship this year.”
the knicks were #1.
boston spent about 3M more than the lakers. the nba payrolls, in general, are almost all the same.
it’s not like MLB.
Just accept that they won because they were the best team, played great D, and stop trying to come up with excuses.
anyone suffer if their teams are the Celtics and Yankees?
You know the Celtics have sucked for some time now right ? I mean thier last championship was in 1986 prior to tonight.
RSM- I believe that you are becoming my ally and I am most grateful.
Catherine,
the Lakers kept Kobe and the starters in longer than the Celtics kept theirs in. both teams were launching 3’s. were the Celtics subs supposed to just hand the ball over and not shoot while Kobe and Odom were playing 100%. the lakers were in full court press and playing tight D.
I wouldn’t have liked it if it were the other way around, but typically when a team is down 40, they take their starters out. the lakers chose not to.
The lakers were down by 40…I don’t see the point of taking the starters out. At least try to save some face the last game of the season…
“While I respect and believe that you are a true fan of your teams, how can anyone suffer if their teams are the Celtics and Yankees?”
well, i live in boston where the sox have won 2 series in the past 4 seasons.
the celtics have been one of the worst teams in the NBA for 20 years.
that’s all… no big deal. and i will definitely note that i think most of the celtics fans jumped on the bandwagon this season.
Who cares about the NBA?
The league died when Jordan retired. Who can take it seriously after the refs have ADMITTED THROWING GAMES!!
I went out for a lil tonight… what happened to david wright?
Other than Boston “fans” and fans, who would have bothered to watch that joke of a game? After two minutes it was boring.
Basketball isn’t a great sport to watch. Other than about 30 seconds of highlights, it is a boring game that refs play almost as large a role as the players do.
The Celtics are an obnoxious team, which matches the way most NE fans are.
When you have 3 potential HOF in yours starting 5 its not very hard for that team to win on a game to game basis. Granted they did rule in the playoffs but with KG up front, and Pierrce and Allen in the back-court it wasnt the ultimate under-dog story. I also dont want anyone to bring up suffering other than the Yankees my favorite teams are the Jets and Knicks believe me I know suffering. Going on 40 some odd years for the NYJ and 35 for my Knicks.
Boston Dave- I do commend you for standing up and taking shot after shot from everyone on this blog.
Manuel had David Wright play DH today. It broke his streak of being the only player in the majors to play every inning of every game this season.
Mel – whenever you come on, I’m sorry bout your Lakers.
I don’t care much for Phil Jackson or generally even the NBA, but I was rooting for the Lakers because it would have made you happy.
Now Castillo is hurt for the Mets
“it is a boring game that refs play almost as large a role as the players do.
The Celtics are an obnoxious team”
lol, this tool has been whining about the celtics all week. go back to crying yourself to sleep buddy.
“Mel – whenever you come on, I’m sorry bout your Lakers”
at least the lakers should be a very good team for the forseeable future.
Go back to j’ing yourself off while looking at Garnet’s picture hanging on you wall, BD. You deserve it.
Absolutely Dave. I’ve never seen so many “Go Sox!! Go Celtics!!” said by Sox fans as I have lately.
That said, you’re clearly a Celtics fan thats stuck with them through the lean years, so its nice they gave you something to be happy about again.
Celtics..Lakers..Way better than the Knicks right now.
Congrats to any Celtics fans. Hugs to any Lakers fans
I am also a believer that the NBA died with Jordan. Those Knicks/Bulls playoff games were some of the best battles I ever saw. Just guys pushing themselves beyond their limits. Total blood and guts.
“Go back to j’ing yourself off while looking at Garnet’s picture hanging on you wall, BD. You deserve it.”
and just when you think it’s peaked, his frustration grows even more…
Hey! We got another shutout. Is it too much to ask for another one tomorrow? I think the sports gods owe me one.
You guys know my allegiances pretty well, and I know you’re dying to hear what I think after the finals game today. Here it is:
Congratulations to the Celtics for winning the championship.
And I’m so proud of my guys for going as far as they did.
That’s all, folks.
(Oh yeah, one more thing. I know you guys hate Kobe, but after what just happened, I can GUARANTEE you that he will help the USA bring home gold this summer. So save the hate for November!)
Now, my Patriots came in second and my Lakers came up short. Maybe the third time’s the charm for our Yankees.
“at least the lakers should be a very good team for the forseeable future.”
yeah, if they stop wetting the bed, lol.
The Celtics were just better this time. When I saw the score was 69 to 44 in the third quarter – I wasn’t really sure they could make up that deficit.
Angel,
Thanks for the thought, very sweet!
“Now, my Patriots came in second and my Lakers came up short. Maybe the third time’s the charm for our Yankees.”
If the Yanks lose in the World Series, you know who we’re blaming!!
Boston Dave,
If they make the World Series, you’ll know who to thank!
“…are an obnoxious team, which matches the way most NE fans are”
I have to disagree with this. While there are obnoxious fans everywhere, NE fans are no worse than NY fans.
I was raised on the Yankees, Giants and Knicks and follow all three religiously. However in college I was a vendor at Fenway for 4 years. The worst fans to come through were Yankee fans. I’m sure there were good ones (probably quiet), but there were many Yankee fans in the late 90s who often times had sections where they simply overan Fenway. These fans knew little about the Yanks and probably are the same ones who booed Latroy Hawkins for wearing 21 and also wanted to trade ARod for a cheeseburger and fries after 2006.
I knew you’d be gracious, Mel.
At least as Dave said, the Lakers do have a good future.
Now if we can just get that memo about the third time being the charm to the Yankees, we’re all set.
I agree the NBA has fallen off severely since the Jordan era. Less passion more big money players, more wannabe gangsters posing as ball players, too much officiating controversies. I remember the game being physical, raw, and emotional grown men battling for the love of the game now its little defense and little passion. Nowadays you can likely only find a handful of guys on each team who care about winning and losing, and on the Knicks even less.
good point mel.
i’ll just root for the playoffs for now…
for a team that is just starting to play well, i’ll take 3.5 games back in the WC.
Angel,
That’s right. Fleas! Where are you? Tell the Cashman nanny that you’re canoodling with that it’s a lock!
Hey dave when is the parade scheduled for? I’m trying to get out of town tomorrow or Thursday and probably should plan around it, but I dont want to put on the news lol
If they make the World Series, you’ll know who to thank!
I’ll take that any day. BTW sorry mel about your Lakers rolling over.
Just like the Under Armour ad says ” I think you hear us coming, Click Clack!” That is the message the Sux are getting from our boys recently.
Brandon,
Thanks. I prefer to think they got steamrolled.
At least I never have to hear or see another person say they’re rooting for Kevin Garnett to get a ring.
There is a heckler at this Angels game cracking me up.
He told Beltran while he was swinging “It’s ok Carlos you’ll be back in Houston”
just told Delgado “Don’t worry Delgado Moises will be back”
The heckler is a Mets fan.
It really sucks being a Knicks fan I have to wait until 2012 for my team to be watchable again. The next 3 years are going to be spent killing bad contracts.
Mets lose.
BAHAHAHAHAHA
LOL. I have heard that SO many times here in MN – its quite strange really. I guess he must have been pretty well liked when he was on the T’Wolves.
At least I never have to hear or see another person say they’re rooting for Kevin Garnett to get a ring.
That’s really all I gave a damn about Kevin has had a rough rough career, an owner in Minny who didn’t give a damn about him, a player/cancer who left him for more $$$ and publicity AND CURRENTLY IS THE CANCER FORE A CERTAIN TEAM I ROOT FOR
….anyway OT I’m proud of KG tonight even w/ his dirty language mouth.
My only beef is the way the media portrays the two cities (mostly ESPN of course).
It’s been all about the Celtics’ “banners” this whole Finals. KG pounding his chest… Pierce’s “injury” and so on.
The same people make fun of the Yankees for Monument Park and all the numbers that are retired.
Boston’s banners they hang outside of Fenway and the ones in the Boston Garden are looked at with great respect while ESPN tries to make everyone believe the Yankees do it b/c they’re full of themselves.
tabata is 19 and they want to give up on him..
hughes is 21 and they think he is a flop.
the guy is 21………….
You know what? Somebody from the Mets needs to grab control of the clubhouse. Manuel is basically a sitting duck who will not take his uniform even to wash it in fear of getting fired.
I think that Santana (as the one with the longest contract) needs to be that person. They need to get it together. They need to rein in Jose Reyes. Santana and Wright.
Well, I’ll give credit to KG for giving a shout out to Minnesota.
Heh, I’m a Nets fan. I’ll probably be six feet under before they win one…
Good thing I have my Devils. (And the Yankees, obviously).
stuart –
That is an uncharacteristically positive post from you – are you alright?
tabata is 19 and they want to give up on him..
hughes is 21 and they think he is a flop.
the guy is 21………….
I don’t see either of them going anywhere. We will see them in Bronx w/ the Yankees uniform for years to come.
Until a stiff wind break’s Hughes’ face.
Heh, I’m a Nets fan. I’ll probably be six feet under before they win one…
Rebecca you have an ownership that is building a core for Lebron James or Dwayne Wade and rumored to get Carmelo Anthony, I’m the one who is going to be 6 feet under before the Knicks win one. I look KG and keep on thinking we kept Eddy Curry for him.
Folks, you know what they say about closers in non-close situations.
Bases loaded, zero outs for Todd Jones.
Let’s go Giants!
Never mind.
Well the SF Giants offense sucks
Jose Reyes is a joke
Eddy”Hoagie sandwich”Curry isnt worth the jersey on his back. Anyone ever see “Night at the Starbury” serious lolz
http://youtube.com/watch?v=1RSByXfL4dU
For the rest of my life this is how I’ll remember Eddy Curry
Softer than a pair of Charmins napkins
I would bet that the people throwing Tabata’s name on the “expendable” list have never seen him play.
Which, if you think about it, is ridiculous. How can you “decide” he’s not worth keeping if you’ve never seen him? Because some neophyte declares that a precocious 19-year old hitter who hasn’t yet flashed great power is permanently defective?
The power is last to flash w/many of these kids, especially TEENAGERS. As far as I’m concerned, your vote about the prospects doesn’t count if you’ve never even SEEN a guy.
P.S. Not that I care at all about the NBA, but by default, I was rooting for Boston. Better the Celtics than a rapist.
who was the last Mexican born player on the Yankees? Anybody know?
