Game 110: Angels at Yankees
-
- August
- 2
YANKEES (59-50)
Damon DH
Jeter SS
Abreu RH
Rodriguez 3B
Giambi 1B
Nady LF
Betemit 2B
Cabrera CF
Molina C
Mussina RHP
Mike Mussina (13-7, 3.56) vs. the Los Angeles hitters.
Jered Weaver (9-8, 4.11) vs. the New York hitters.
Notes: Thanks to Brian Heyman for calling in the lineup. … Cano is out with a sore left hand that he has had since last Sunday. He is 3 for 26 with one scored and no RBI over the last six games. His batting average has gone from .270 to .260…. The Yankees have lost two straight and five of their last six. They are now 5.5 games out of first and in third place in the wild card, 2.5 games out. … The Angels have won 25 of the last 40 games between the teams.
It’s Old Timers’ Day, so get there early if you have tickets. Yogi, Whitey, Reggie and all the rest will be on the hand for the last reunion at the Stadium. Willie Randolph has made an appearance as well.
CHECKING IN ON SOME OF THE NEW GUYS: Richie Sexson is 5 for 15 with the Yankees but hasn’t had an extra-base hit since July 8, his last game with Seattle. Did you know his name is Richmond Lockwood Sexson? … Pudge Rodriguez is 1 for 6 with two strikeouts and two GIDPs. … Damaso Marte’s line is 3.1 4 2 2 1 6 over four games. … Xavier Nady is 6 of 18 with four extra-base hits and four RBI.
OUT IN THE STREET: As for me, I’ll be at Gillette Stadium for tonight’s Bruce Spingsteen and the E Street Band concert. Big 30-person tailagate planned before the show. So this will be the extent of the blogging for the day.
Enjoy the game.

I’m hearing Aaron Small is there – what is wrong with the Yankees? Haha.
Maybe Clemens will announce he’s coming back.
Cody are you jealous? You wish your team did this.
Well, at least X is playing today.
Pete’s gone. Trolling Time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Offense is going so well we’re going with a 6 man lineup today.
Its apparently a Yankees fan, Jennifer.
I don’t know when people don’t know you’re a Yankee fan by your posts here, then maybe you shouldn’t link to your blog with your name. It doesn’t exactly bode well for writing on it, lol.
Sorry Lohud, but Bruce SpringBean stinks. He sold out the Cops without educating himself. He did it to help his music career. He sang that awful song 50 shots or whatever it was. Now it appears he has issues with the country. Hell, we all know this country is a mess, but he and Billy Baldwin should move if it’s that bad.
“Cody are you jealous? You wish your team did this.”
I don’t know, I think the Yankees do have this event.
I would have flip flopped Nady and Giambi in the lineup.
I would have flip flopped Nady and Giambi in the lineup.
I would have put the ballboy at second and a clubhouse attendant in CF.
3 automatic outs in a row each time through the order today. This should be another fun one to watch.
NOT BETIMET, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Hughes
There are kids on here and parents who would prefer not to answer questions.
Keep it clean.
UGHH DIRECT TV!! it’s raining in South Florida = “Searching for Signal”
Joe, you gotta get cable!
Pete you have a chance to be at OT Day today and you deny the chance? Wow. Not cool. I would’ve taken your seat in a heartbeat.
Hmm, gonna be one of those days around here, I see.
So satellite TV really does get its signal disrupted by the rain?
Joe, I had that 30mins ago but since the rain cleared away, i’m good to go. no worry, you will get signals soon.
So satellite TV really does get its signal disrupted by the rain?
sad but true.
answer from previous thread:
Just on vacation in Ocean City. I’ve been here for a month, er, a week I guess. Just feels like a month. I leave this afteroon, hopefully I can get the game on the radio (if there is a game) on the way to Baltimore.
By late Sunday night I’ll be back home and this blog can start to get back to normal! Well, pending the final solution to the Ponson question, that is…
had cable, last year it was announced that the baseball package would only be on Direct TV so we got it installed that day!! within the week MLB announced that it would be on cable too
Oh. I remember that. I would have gone without EI rather than switch. We had it once before and never again. No reliable service always looking for a signal, and we couldnt get local channels on it.
I am impressed they’e getting this in, but you know they would.
The one time I want to hear Sterling and Kay and I lose sound!
I’m glad that Willie Randolph decided to go. I can’t see OTD. Major bummer!
MICKEY KLUTTS!!
Wish I could watch it.
(service came back for now obviously lol)
My god, can the Yankees not enjoy a single stretch of games where everyone stays healthy and is able to play?
I know Cano has struggled recently but he still begets far more confidence than Betemit, to say nothing of Cano’s superior defense.
Oy. This season is really killing me, each day eating away at my optimism and faith.
The Yankees have become an aging, mediocre lineup and I can’t see that changing between now and season’s end.
Worse, I don’t know how they improve it for the future. The two best hitting prospects, Jesus and A-Jax, are years away from contributing to the major league roster.
The Red Sux meanwhile have four very good players under 30 Pedroia, Ellsbury, Youklis, and Bay. And well, I needn’t cite the comparative age of the Rays’ roster.
I can’t watch it either sigh
is pete serious? not there when a) its old timers day and b) the yanks season could be hanging in the balance?
springsteen is garbage
I really am concerned about next season. Gonna be a lot of turnover in the lineup, but where are the new guys coming from? Plus Jeter, Damon, Posada, and Matsui will be another year older.
Funny I wanted to get this Old Timer’s Day on tape but didn’t have a blank tape so wanted to see if I could find a tape to put it on. (I don’t mark the boxes very well.) Don’t you think that the first tape I put in was of the last Yankee parade.
Bobby Murcer was doing the commentary.
Anyway, I noticed that YES is doing the repeat tonight so I’ll buy a tape between now and then and tape tonight’s rendition.
Watching Tino really brings back memories. I guess I’m happy to be watching it. Well, bittersweet because I still have the taste of last night’s loss in my mouth.
What in hell has become of our Yankees?
To be fair, we are without CM, Sui and Jorge, Bruney thankfully is finally back, but some other relievers are still hurt. If you want to see the list of injuries check this out. http://newyork.yankees.mlb.com/team/injuries.jsp?c_id=nyy
So I guess the fact that we are still in there swinging (at what sometimes I don’t know…) is a credit to the Yanks.
Hot damn there are a ton of former Yankees. Geeze the announcements alone will take the entire afternoon.
hm… we must’ve reversed that trade – No Clemens today but we have Homer Bush, Greame Lloyd, and David Wells
can Homer Bush still play?
Can David Wells still pitch? lol
“Anyway, I noticed that YES is doing the repeat tonight so I’ll buy a tape between now and then and tape tonight’s rendition.”
Please tell me that you don’t still own a VCR.
If any of you guys want me to make you a tape of Oldtimer’s Day, give me your email addresses. I will be taping it when it repeats tonight. If you’re willing to reimburse me for tape and postage, I’ll be happy to make copies for you. (I’m not trying to be cheap. You might remember that I was someone with one of those classic builder stories where my life savings were siphoned by an unscrupulous builder. Well I’m waiting for the results of arbitration. But I’m still pretty broke in the meantime!)
Can Griffey still play?
I feel bad for Tony Fernandez, Derek Jeter stole his job! =P
Laura –
I have the VCR. I just didn’t want to tape over the Yankee parade! What I don’t have is a blank tape. I guess I should buy a few while I’m at it!)
Think Aaron Small could catch lightening in a bottle again?
You’re pretty big when they name a surgery after you!
Trisha, were I a man who didn’t respect the copyright law, considering your financial straits, I might actually recommend
taping it and selling it on E-bay or Craig’s List anonymously.
But then again, I would never encourage another person to break the law.
BUCKY F’IN DENT!!
kill.schill – Too much energy! While I am an attorney obviously I don’t know a lot about copyright law. So please don’t tell me if I am doing something wrong by offering copies to my Yankee fan bretheren…
Hmm.
Should have dealt Bet
My god Keppinger, Loretta would have been something. WTF is Aaron Small doing at Old Timers game ?
Let me know who gets the biggest round of applause…other than Yogi, of course!
Stick!
Nick: Hear about Livan getting DFA’d?
I love these oldtimers and great names from the past, etc., but if there was someone who would really bring my mood up, it would be
AARON BLEEPIN BOONE!!!
“So I guess the fact that we are still in there swinging (at what sometimes I don’t know…) is a credit to the Yanks.”
Only to a yankee apologist. The Yankees still have a lineup most teams can only dream about. Still have the supposed best player in the game. Have a payroll 50 million bigger than any other team, 100 million more than most.
I guess poor, poor Yankees sounds better than underperforming, or simply bad, but whatever lies can get you through the season I guess, huh?
jimmy francis scott key…underrated BIG component to the yankee resurgence…
I loved Jimmy Key!!!
Brandon, I would have loved to have traded Betemit, but he has zero value on the market. Who would want him?
Was Aaron invited?
I have a baseball signed by Sojo. But I got it when he managed the Yankees AA team when they were in Connecticut.
I love me some Luis Sojo!
Jennifer, I think he’s still playing or something and probably is in a game somewhere today. Otherwise I cannot imagine that he wouldn’t be here.
Was Aaron invited?
he’s currently playing for the Nationals right now.
Jennifer
He was playing for the Nationals last I heard.
Whitey should get the loudest cheer. He’s the greatest pitcherin Yankees history!
When my Cubs/White Sox co-workers give me grief about how poorly the Yankees are playing, the first thing they throw in my face is the payroll. “How can a 210mil team be so bad?” I’m tired of people talking about the payroll. These guys were signed to long term deals based on prior results. The fact that they aren’t living up to that salary is the issue; not the money itself.
Oh ooops, I didn’t realize he was still playing. My bad.
Laura, just mention “unexpected injuries to a lot of players.” That’ll shut em up only because they probably won’t care enough to ask you to enumerate.
so what we’re saying is current major leaguers cannot play in the old timers day.. got it.
Can someone from old timers day be picked up to play after the game? A good showing from Leiter or Wells and they have to be considered. Big names to get through today though.
Wow, last year on this day we had scored 629 runs.
This year 516.
Does anyone see any current Yankees watching?
Can the Yanks activate Rickey?
What is everyone’s fascination with Bruce Springsteen?
JoeT: Amen!!
I think Aaron Small and Homer Bush probably got something left
hahas, Tim Raines patting Jeter’s head.
If Willie Randolph is there, he’ll get a really loud cheer.
Cody, you’re not from Jersey, are you?
“Can the Yanks activate Rickey?”
He’d be in favor of it, although it will delay his HOF entrance next year.
Activate JEFF NELSON!!
Here comes the Yankees biggest mistake giveaway, Nellie. I blame the demise of the Yankees on Torre’s grudge against Nellie for talking to the press. Things were never the same.
Last I saw Tim Raines, he had put on at least 50lbs.
Rebecca—no, I’m not.
Cody: Then you don’t understand.
I often wonder what the rhyme and reason is to the way they announce these guys.
trisha—the people you don’t remember are on the third base line and the fan favorites and best players are on the first base line. That’s just how it goes. They throw a few no-names on the first base line, but not many. The guys like Paul O’Neill, Tino Martinez, and Yogi Berra come last.
Cody – makes sense to me.
Saving the HOFers for last?
Paulie!
will getting rid of the jinx Giambi help us win next year?
Can you imagine when they do this for Jeter?
TINO !
Just saw JOBA!!
this is a travesty without Bernie.
Its great that George has canned so many of these guys, and they still come back.
20 years from now, who will be the last 5 announced?
roll call for the old timers game?? lol
WILLIE!!
WILLIE!!!!!!!!
There is willie!!
WILLIEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
BRING HIM HOME!!
WILLIE!!!
Bernie was asked he declined!! Was Cash supposed to drag him here?
Willie with the biggest ovation so far.
WILLIE !
Maybe Willie can stay and coach 3rd base..lol
What an ovation for Willie.
man, Boggs’ hair looks great!
Willie more than deserves it.
20 Years from now the final 5 wil be:
Mattingly, O’Neil, A-Rod, Rivera, Jeter
Bernie needed to be here.
Procede works
Bernie didn’t want to be here.
Great ovation for Willie…. but I think Paul got a louder cheer.
Three in a row there it was almost the playoffs – Paul, Tino, and Willie
Procede works
lol. someone been watching too much of that commerical.
Fun to see all the young players all piled up in the corner of the dugout by the tunnel entrance watching.
I love that Yogi is always last…. it’s great
If this doesn’t get the current Yankee line up fired up, some one needs to call the EMTs.
Girardi and his son look identical.
YOGI!
Greatest living Yankee? Yes/No?
glad that willie got that standing ovation. eat it, mets fans
YOGI!!!
look at the wheels on Yogi! Over 80 years old and he moves better then half of the guys in their 50’s
“YOGI!
Greatest living Yankee? Yes/No?”
Without a doubt.
Yogi looks so cute!!
20 years from now the final five will be”
Matingly, Joba, A-Rod, Jeter and Melky
(just kidding’ insert Mariano there)
Vic Power should have been the first black and Puerto Rican Yankee.
billy’s wife looks young for her age.
“20 years from now the final five will beâ€
Matingly, Joba, A-Rod, Jeter and Melky
(just kidding’ insert Mariano there)”
Nah, Joba’ll still be pitching
Glad Ponson showed he’s a good pitcher last night. We don’t need Washburn.
I’m sorry but they really couldn’t get some of the players to escort the widows onto the field?
Billy married her when she was 10?
“Glad Ponson showed he’s a good pitcher last night. We don’t need Washburn.”
Is this really necessary, d00d? Wait until after Old Timer’s is over, at least, please.
“Glad Ponson showed he’s a good pitcher last night. We don’t need Washburn.”
...
Someone Else: We can only hope!
It’s tough to need the ghosts and the Stadium to continue to give those guys the boost they need!
Cora likes Yogi, she made a bee line for him
I wish they’d play New York New York right now!
Well not right now.
This really blows that I can’t watch this.
I offered to make a tape. If you don’t want one that’s on you.
dave winfield coulnt even wear his yankees cap at the allstar game. why does he bother to come back here anymore.
I’m so glad Willie came back
Unrelated, but BaseballProspectus has a short interview with Chili Davis about the 1999 game vs. Pedro, where he absolutely dominated. Chili had the only Yankees’ hit of the game:
“Ben Lindbergh: I wanted to mention that my favorite memory of watching you play was in September of ’99, September 10, when Pedro Martinez pitched in that game—
Chili Davis: [Laughter]
Ben:—Struck out 17 Yankees, and I think Tom Boswell, who writes for The Washington Post, said that it was the greatest game ever pitched at Yankee Stadium, and no one else could touch him, and you homered off him somehow, and that was the only hit of the game.
Davis: Well, I’ll tell you a story about that. You want to hear a story about that? You know, he came here, and you could tell he had a lightning fastball. And, I don’t know who led off, was it Derek Jeter or Chuck Knoblauch, but whoever led off, he pitched him hard inside, hard inside, hard inside. I think he either hit Jeter, or he hit Knoblauch, he might have hit ’em both, I don’t remember.
Ben: Yeah, he did hit Knoblauch leading off that game.
Davis: And then, Paul O’Neill came up, and he came hard in on O’Neill, jammed him, Bernie Williams came up, he came hard in on Bernie, jammed him, got out of the inning. Well, the next inning, he’s warming up, and Tino Martinez and I are standing on the on-deck circle, and I remember walking over to Tino and saying, “Tino, he’s got a good heater today, and he knows it. He knows it, Tino, and he’s coming in.†Everybody that came up, he started them fastball, hard in. I said, “If I was you, Tino, I’d look in, and try to turn on something.†And Tino was in a slump at the time, and he looked at me, and he was like “You know, uh, you know uh, uh, I don’t know,†kind of hesitant to take the game plan up there. So he went up there, and I think Pedro jammed him up inside, broke his bat or something, and he went back to the dugout. And I stand on deck, and I go, “You know what, you [expletive]? You come in here. Yeah, I know I’m 40, or 39, or whatever years old, I know you think you can get it in. But I’m looking in here. You throw that first-pitch heater in here, and I’m gonna turn on it.†And I’d no sooner said it, he threw that heater inside, and I, I was looking for it, and boom! Turned on it, you know, yeah.”

“dave winfield coulnt even wear his yankees cap at the allstar game. why does he bother to come back here anymore.”
Didn’t he go into the HOF as a Padre?
Oooo I’d love to be Cora Rizutto right now!
so?
doesn’t that one ballboy who was walking with Billy Martin’s wife look like Humberto Sanchez?
you know we were talking about the pitchers sticking around, I’m fine with Daryl sticking around to come off the bench over Betemit
I don’t care that the Angels are the hottest team in baseball right now, they have to be in awe of what just happened in Yankee Stadium and what they have been privileged enough to witness. I’m sure they’ve already been to Monument Park to witness the rest…
Joe is playing? Um shouldn’t he be getting ready for the game.
Al Leiter looks like he could still toss an inning or two.
How many pitches will Leiter throw in the 1st inning?
Joe looks like he can catch a game.
I think I was the only one who was willing to give Boomer a try when three of our starters went down. I still would have done it.
Yogi was not always last – that honor went to Joe D with the Mick being the penultimate player announced.
good to see Willie Randolph, David Wells, and all these old Yanks back in uniforms
feels good inside.
Man, Reggie+Strawberry+Henderson – that’s some massive ego
Oh man, this is gonna be fun.
I wanna see someone hit a home run!
I’d love to see an SB
It’s not like it’s Yogi behind the plate, though – Girardi can still throw.
Goose and Guidry are throwing BP
RANDOLPH FOR 3RD BASE COACH! (capS)
Girardi can still handle the ball in the dirt.
(sarcasm) WHAT A HORRIBLE AB BY RAINES! DFA HIM! (/sarcasm)
...Can we sign these guys to play offense or something?
Gosh, some of these guys are better than the current players. Let’s bring Rivers back for Melky.
i hear a roll call!
How’s Cone’s velocity?
Forget Willie coming back as a coach. He could be Cano’s backup.
LOL Edwar is in the dugout
A sure way for the Yankees to get a W –
Inning over, Yankees retired; Yankees coming to bat…
Joba is great. You have to love the young kid watching this from the dugout.
Bernie should be here. He needs to get over his issues with the team.
Is Knobs here somewhere????
Mike, look how long it took Yogi to come back.
Dave Winfield’s still got it!
Seriously, half of these bats are better than the guys playing now.
Man, Henderson/Boggs/Winfield/Strawberry. That could have been the 1-4 on an All Star team in the 90s.
Yeah, but Yogi was lied to be Steinbrenner, who apologized, Bernie’s issues are more Bernie’s issues. The team is not going to apologize for severing ties with an aging player.
Mike, I absolutely agree with you about Bernie. Despite my love for Bernie as a Yankee I felt it was the absolute right thing to do. He refused to even come back to spring training so that was that.
I’m not normally one to complain about the lineup, but why is Giambi STILL batting 5th?!? Auuurgh….didn’t we see enough last night?
And then the bottom 3rd are all auto outs to boot. Can Christian get a start in center please?? Sucks to see WB too but at least Cano’s sore hand will explain his slump over the past week. Resting him to get him back to normal is the best call but is he available to PH?
What part of Willie Randolph is not going to be a 3B coach don’t people understand, what part of he wasn’t a good 3B coach don’t people want to remember.
ANYWAY
OT: When I see things like this it scares me a team is 100 % in unisend and ready to emerge
link
and Nelson wanted to play this year… not with that ball control lol
Brandon- You mean wave him home willie haha.
Guess Bernie’s at home playing Jazz while watching this show.
There’s been players who have been treated badly by the Yankees only to come back.
Bernie should be here.
Oh, and I would have given Boomer a try too. In fact, I’d have half a mind to retain his services after the game, or at least tell him to stick close by…hah, kidding, kinda..
Jesus Nelson still has that freaky movement on his pitches.
I’ve been watching and folding laundry. Who’s having a better tim than Willie Randolph??? A lot of these guys look like they could play today. Of course, a lot of these guys only just retired. It’s so incredible that so many of them were on the 90s dynasty team. Wow, time has just rushed on by, ahasn’t it?
I can’t stop smiling and tears are coming to my eyes. This is so amazing and I’m only just watching it on t.v.
Can we sign Jeff Nelson?
Bernie is wearing on me too. Making bad choices not coming around for the last year of the stadium.
Personally, the whole 1998 team should be here! 10 year anniversary!
hopefully Henderson won’t be playing cards with the guys in the dugout when the game starts.
Look, Bernie just wasn’t ready. Let him be. It’ll be okay.
You hope that this accumulation of Yankees will inspire the current group.
I’m so bummed that I missed the introductions. Do you think YES will replay this later?
No, Bernie was going on vacation that’s why he wasn’t here
Doreen – YESnetwork.com TV schedule says they will re-play at it at 8 PM tonight
“I’m so bummed that I missed the introductions. Do you think YES will replay this later?”
it will rerun at 8pm tonight
Brandon- You mean wave him home willie haha.
Yup that guy. You know who I’d give a shot
at 3B now people won’t like it but he’s cocky, a smart baserunner read OF arms perfectly
Rickey
Is the game gonna start on time?
I’m sure the invitation was extended to Bernie. He just still thinks he can play, and wonders why he wasn’t picked up at the trade-deadline as the extra-bat.
It was a 3.55 game so no reason they shouldn’t start on time.
OK. Mark Grace just went up a bit in my book. Calling out the Red Sox for creating the Manny being Manny monster.
Is the OT stuff over?
You know who would make a great 3B coach, Now alot of people won’t like him but Rickey Henderson would be perfect.
“Enjoy the Geme”...Pete, are you serious ? You mean enjoy the Yankees continue to show WHY they are 10 games back of the Angels in the AL standings ? You mean, enjoy your team either getting the SNOT kicked out of it today to stay on pace to lose 4 straght to the HALOS and 5 straight over all ? OR even better yet,,,,enjoy your team playing JUST good enough to come up one run short and lose another 1-0 or 7-6 game ? No thanks…I’ll go to the HOA pool and relax….These Yankees wear me OUT ! ;-(
“OK. Mark Grace just went up a bit in my book. Calling out the Red Sox for creating the Manny being Manny monster.”
i was shocked to hear that on Fox too.
MoBoy(aka McLovin)
Bernie treated badly? Hardly.
BTW we can’t ignore the Orioles I was wondering about it and called it since early in the season, that team is going to be a pest vs whoever they play Red Sox, Yankees, Twins, Rays…they have the “IT FACTOR” basically Kevin Millar has changed that whole clubhouse. Very promising future.
Mel, yep and he is so right. I remember the trade from Cleveland and Manny’s first official act was to announce he wouldn’t be playing right field. Then when they tried to get him to do it he quickly pulled up with a hammy. And they let him get away with it. Mind you Boston got him to be their right fielder!
That loser organization gets what they deserve in the end. Another thing I remember is when Pedro played for them and was scheduled to pitch and wasn’t there an hour before gametime, nor did he call in. So Williams (?) benched him in put someone else in. Pedro went and complained to Duquette about it and they gave him a wristwatch to shut him up and never disciplined him. Then there were all the seasons Pedro didn’t show up until ST until he was ready, Manny blew off the ASG etc. etc. etc.
Makes me really happy to have the strictness that you basically see as part of the Yanks org.
Bernie on vacation?
Two years of vacation is a long time to be on vacation.
Anyone listen to WCBS’s pre-game? What’s the word on Robbie? How badly is his wrist ailing him? Is it swollen or is Joe just resting him? Is he in real pain?
I still can’t believe that Betemit is in the lineup again. It’s reached the point of being laughable. An absolute joke.
Who should be playing 2nd Kelli?
Brandon I agree with you somewhat, Ricky maybe at 1st and Pena at 3rd????
The team invited Williams to Oldtimers Day on Aug. 2. For now, Williams has declined because of a long-planned vacation with his family. Club officials are holding out hope that he will change his mind this week.
kelli, i completely agree with u, im so sick and tired of the betemit love fest
Wayne Tolleson is in the house for 2nd.
Brandon I agree with you somewhat, Ricky maybe at 1st and Pena at 3rd????
Other way around.
trisha – YOU should be playing 2nd….SUIT UP !!!
When was the last time a member of the Weaver family won a game at the big ballpark in the Bronx?
Jeff was certainly a P.O.S.
I see what ur saying but Ricky is all the time leader in steals so maybe he can help get guys leads and pick things up. But I agree i think hed be great for us.
Texeria is smoking some serious stuff. Thinks he can get a 10 year deal.
Tex told Fox he’s looking for a 10 year deal?
is pena signed beyond this year? we need to keep him here long term
Someone other than Betemit?
Heck, sign Tony Fernandez.
Yankees FO execs. told Rosenthal the ship has sailed on Jared Washburn they will not pick him up if he hits waivers.
Texeria is smoking some serious stuff. Thinks he can get a 10 year deal.
And that’s why NY is a NO for him.
Good some sense into no picking up washburn
Small sample size but Yanks numbers against Weaver are sad. Looks like it’s up to the Giambino today
Don’t mean to take anything away from anybody lucky enough to be watching OT day, but Rosenthal just said that Teixeira is looking to get a 10 year deal.
Is this really the road we want to go down? He is an excellent player but isn’t 10 years a little long for sombody not in Jeter/Arod territory?
Why must we be subjected to Joe and Tim.
teixeira is crazy nobody is going to give him that
On which channel is the game today?
Thanks.
Teixeira is on the same Boras high that ManRam is – they both overvalue themselves.
Manny thinks he can get 4 years $100M
Tex thinks he can play till 38
Not going to happen imho.
I don’t think the Yankees will hand out a 10 year deal to anyone else. Alex was the first and last.
we will win 2day!
BB
Fox
BBB: Saturday Afternoon = FOX
“Yankees FO execs. told Rosenthal the ship has sailed on Jared Washburn they will not pick him up if he hits waivers.”
Brandon –
If this is true I am VERY happy – we don’t need Wash next year and between IPK, Aceves and the various retreads we can get into the playoffs. imho.
I think the Mets may actually give TEX that 10 year deal. I think the Yanks could give him say a 7 year deal with the final 2 years of it opition years.
Jeter was the first, Alex will probably be the last.
Game time!
And time to lose, again
Oh my Gawd … Clemens said he couldn’t make the Old Timers game.
we will win 2day!
I sure hope so becaise this Angels team owns us since 2002 game 2…They own us pimp style, Ric flair slaps to the chest style, Austin 3:16 style.
Tex is Boras and Boras doesn’t do team options.
TKinDC
I heard on the radio that the whole deal with Manny wanting the options dropped out of his contract was Boras driven. Apparently Boras was not his agent when the contract was signed, so he would not get a cut if the option was picked up.
“trisha – YOU should be playing 2nd….SUIT UP !!!”
I’d much rather be here upsetting people who love to complain!
...
Tell me I’m not the only one watching this?

“I don’t think the Yankees will hand out a 10 year deal to anyone else. Alex was the first and last.”
Winfield was the first to get 10 year deal from Yanks
Oh my god, are you watching Justin Speier doing the Angels starting lineup?
Anyone else here at the stadium is ed randall the pa announcer today. The reg fill in it isnt- thankfully but sounds like randall
It is hot as hades now
Make that the second and last.
oh.. my.. god..
someone should tell Justin Speier Mike Tyson doesn’t take insults well.
bbfan- Okay. I’ll just say that Alex is the last. lol
I expect us to win today. I am going to be soooooo unhappy if we don’t. How close did we come last night.
GO MOOSE!!!!!
oops. forgot Winfield.
That was…
I’m not sure there are words for it.
jennifer-
Boras just signed ManRam as a client in the last year – If Manny had just (gulp) settled for the 2, $20M options left on his Boston contract then Boras would have made zero.
This just in, Mike Tyson is on his way to Yankee Stadium to find Justin.
Finally some stability with Molina catching
Trisha ;
Reports on Cody Ransom at AAA are good. DFA the non-contributor Betemit.
“Finally some stability with Molina catching”
Yeah that Rodriguez did a terrible job catching/calling yesterday.
Finally some stability with Molina catching
We didn’t lose because of Pudge, infact he deserves enormous credit for nursing Ponson through that game yesterday. Pettitte pitched like a bum on Thursday, Mo you saw what happened last night another catcher wouldn’t have made a difference there.
“bbfan- Okay. I’ll just say that Alex is the last. lol”
100% agree.
Even in the case of AROd, they gave 10 yr contract because of the special circumstances related to lifetime HR record.
Oy, Mike, INSIDE.
who do we think will do the yankees lineup intro??
Strikes Moose.
Okay.
For the love of old guys in baseball suits, can we PLEASE score some runs?
“We didn’t lose because of Pudge, infact he deserves enormous credit for nursing Ponson through that game yesterday.”
Amen!
Moose didn’t feel like giving Tex a cookie – seemed to work out ok!
GOOOOOSE!
Goose look at the camera.
This lineup introduction is the only good thing about the Fox broadcast.
you would think Goose would’ve read over what they wanted him to say before he did that lol.
The funniest is still the Yankees Universe commercial with A-Rod.
I hope the people holding Goose hostage have let him go! lol
Loosen up Goose!
How can you bench a 300 hitter in rodriguez? WTF? You find a way for him to be in the lineup
No complaints about the strikes/balls calling in Teixeira’s at-bat?
Didn’t realize Manny was a Gretzky fan.
Damon didn’t have one good swing on that AB. This is going to be a looong game.
lol Rebecca – double 9’s? Where is Robert Parish?
Didn’t realize Manny was a Gretzky fan.
He’s not , he’s wearing it because 34 and 24 are not available, 34 because Fernando wore that number so he chose 99 because someone told him Gretzky wore that and he decided eh why not “The Great One”
Well, uh, we’re making him throw a lot of pitches?
you now I’d flip flop Damon and Jetes in this lineup then flip flop Nady and Giambi
It’s good that the Yankees are driving up Weaver’s pitch count early. This could bode well in later innings.
At least Jeter made him pitch a few more than Damon
Santana looks like a GQ advertisement sitting in the dugout.
Back to work Moose
Picking up right back off where they left last night.
...
Seriously, we should have the old timers playing.
At least they won’t strike out the bleepin’ side.
Brandon I have been saying that same thing. Girardi needs to start flipping around some people in the order.
At least Jeter made him pitch a few more than Damon
I’d still flip flop them to keep the hole in 2nd base open for a basehit instead of the GIDP
ahhh to be young and in shape and a millionaire.
Game over already?
Flip all you want, Cano struggles with a bad hand and the entire team hitting tanks.
Hey guys, i missed the top o’ the first. How’d Moose look?
Not very encouraging, but at least we made him throw 23 pitches.
JB-
Good.
GG
why didnt Bobby dived?
Moose, come on, we’re not going to get swept by the Angels.
ohoh
Would it kill Abreu to dive for one ball in his Yankee tenure – I’m done with the guy
“I’d still flip flop them to keep the hole in 2nd base open for a basehit instead of the GIDP”
Brandon –
Damon hits to all fields – Jete uses an inside out swing to hit the ball to right.
It would make zero sense to flip flop them. (imho.)
Uh Oh
If Moose continues to suck, it’s bye bye PS. He needs to get it going right now.
“Would it kill Abreu to dive for one ball in his Yankee tenure – I’m done with the guy.”
I believe he made a stellar catch only just last night.
nyy better find out fast, how to defeat this team.
or no playoffs.
Moose. STOP NIBBLING.
