OOH, Do we get to name the topic?
Maybe some kinda motivational speech like “I don’t know how many years I have left, but I want at least one more world championship before I go… I have faith in you all to carry the team to the Series.”
Who is this Walter Silva?
Anybody have numbers on the guy, or a look at his stuff?
Any insight at all is most appreciated.
A bidding war between us and the Padres is a funny thought. That’s like a bidding war between US and Malaysia
Big Stein rallying the troops!!
JoeyA, more like bidding between the US and Aruba. But could be desirable locations, but the US will get you WAY more money.
The Boss is in a wheelchair? Is it just because of frailty/old age or is something wrong?
And here’s the big question, will he be able to stick his foot up A-Rod’s butt from a sitting position? (KIDDING…)
Final season for Big Stein?
It is probably going something like this.
“I want to double to ticket prices in the stadium, the only way I can do that is if you win a world series, so you better win!!”
For NBA fans
*According to the Chicago Tribune, the Bulls have sent Larry Hughes to New York in exchange for Thomas, Jerome James and Anthony Roberson.*
Do the group members have rings or not? This is like Idol.
saucY,
Thanks for the rankings. This stood out: *and hustle Jennifer Aniston into camp to watch her “good friend” Derek Jeter take batting practice.* (i like her much better than minky)
This was pretty cool: Sometimes I wish our country were run as intelligently and efficiently as the Red Sox are. Then I remember that I’m a Yankee fan. … They could win 95 or they could win 80, depending on the shaky health of the everyday guys. David Ortiz and Mike Lowell return from significant ouchies, and the group of J.D. Drew, Rocco Baldelli and Mark Kotsay is unlikely to remain upright for more than a few weeks at a time. … They do, of course, have the prospects to go out and fill any holes when low-performing teams start trying to shed big contracts (Magglio Ordonez?). Here’s some wild speculation hatched in my brain and not based in reality: If Lowell can’t get it done, they’ll deal hitting-machine prospect Lars Anderson and other goodies for Miguel Cabrera.
Why would anyone give up Anderson for Cabrera?
I don’t know if that’s good or bad, but Cabrera has a little bit of a stench still.
*I’LL JUST LEAVE THIS HERE*
A-Rod’s picture day photos

Who are the players in the small group? Those With Rings?
Steroids?

Minka Kelly > Jennifer Aniston…..
Pete,
Any info on Mo? Has he been throwing or participating in any defensive drills?
This is one of the big question marks for the Yanks this year that seems to get lost behind some other story.
Isiah would have traded Lee and Marbury for Shaq.
Anything of Minka Kelly <<< Jennifer Aniston as a milf
r12
*Are you guys seeing these images? They just added CC and Joba.*
Michael Kay would agree with you Brandon
It’s not true but if we are making up rumors- Love quad? Jeter-Minka-Mayer-Anniston
rodg,
Nah. Anniston and Jeter would make beautiful babies. White, black, and Greek. Big jaws, too. If the Shaq trade goes through, does that help Cleveland?
Michael Kei,
Thanks for the gallery. Great pix. Jeter’s got crow’s feet. Alex is smart, spending lots of time with Tex. Trying to polish up his image.
jennifer anniston is dating John Mayer – Whom is Much MORE famous than the CAPTAIN.

This might be Donnie Walsh’s best move as a GM
*Trade No. 2 official
Malik Rose and cash to Oklahoma City for Chris Wilcox.*

Okay, why do the guys look so mad in those photos? Only Damon and Cano smiled.
Good stuff Michael Kei (Igawa). Thanks for posting it.
‘Michael Kay would agree with you Brandon’
Half of America, and latin countries would agree w/ me here. BTW are we sure she’s there to see Derek , we know Derek isn’t a homewrecker that’s the other one.
i hate how CC and Joba wear their hates – It makes them look like punks.

Oh wow, I am not even going to try to understand what was written here.
Who’s in charge of the photos? Because those pix with the fuzzy background look like the ones on mlb.com last season. They all looked like ghosts. I thought they were horrible last season and it looks like they’re using the same photog.
MK Igawa – thanks for the link.
Great pictures of the guys.
Anyone seen Hughes yet?
they all look like hospital patients
Brandon- Donnie Walsh movin’ and shakin’.
great moves 2 decent players for a few guys who weren’t doing anything.
m -
If they just give up Wallace and Pavlovic to get him, yeah that’s a big help to Cleveland.
I love the crooked cap like Chacon
I’m surprised the Yankees even let them have it considering they are so conservative, but good for them.
They look like mug shots. They are all awful.
Those pictures are horrible. Some look like they’ve been crying and a few really needed a shave. No one can look good that close-up.
‘i hate how CC and Joba wear their hates – It makes them look like punks.’
That’s right we going ghetto on the AL East…East Siyeeeeee !
Who do Seattle basketball fans root for now? Did they follow the Thunder to OKC? Did they become Blazers fans?
‘Brandon- Donnie Walsh movin’ and shakin’. great moves 2 decent players for a few guys who weren’t doing anything.’
One, Chris Wilcox, Larry Hughes is a miny sized Tiny Tim.
JoeyA – judging from what I read, doesn’t sound very good.
About the ticket plan: The yankees could have been smart, realized they have broken ticket sales each year for the past few years and that sales are only going to get better and built a stadium with any many if not more seats. Instead they decreased the number of seats, drove prices up more by doing so and forced fans out of their seats and plans. Its pretty $hi^^% in my opinion. I have one of those weekend plans and have had them for the past eight seasons. I dont even know if we are going to continue to go esp if they cant even offer us sunday games.
rodg,
Phoenix holding out for Wally. At first blush, I thought, “oh no, they’ll be really tough to beat”. But then I realized that having Shaq in the paint would really restrict LeBron’s around the rim game. As it is now, Nash won’t even venture in there. He couldn’t operate with the offense running through Shaq.
Jennifer that post looks like it was written by Charlie from “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”
Pettitte pic is bad he look spaced
Matsui’s is pretty good
Aside from CC (and the full body A-Rod pics), the rest of those guys look awful. None of them are even smiling lol
I hope those are not the official pics, just trials.
brandon – thats funny –
i dont think Joba would know a ghetto if it hit him in the head and CC is from Vallejo – The closest ghetto to there is richmond, and people know not to go there.
http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/te.....k_yank%3A1
Pettitte looks like a bug.
What is up with those pictures? They look like Smeagol

“Dayum. That’s a lot of zeroes…”
that’s kind of nice.
Good to hear the old man still wants to rub elbows with the boys.
Joba looks like a sad clown.
m -
Lebron’s a little different than Nash because he’s so much bigger. Shaq’s a pretty good passer so I think he and Lebron could play a lot of two-man game with Mo Williams spotted up as the shooter. How crazy would it be (and I’m really hoping it never happens) if Kobe, DWade and Lebron all won rings with Shaq??????
Poor Tim Thomas… gets traded to the Knicks and Bulls twice. First for Eddy Curry, now for Larry Hughes.
lmao those pictures are absolutely horrific lol
Is it me or are swisher’s eyes extremely close together?
That pic of Pettitte doing crunches…not pretty
Those pictures are awfull. Imagine Cashman that close up (shudders).
…
Did these guys just get out of bed at 5:00 AM with a hangover when these pics were taken?
“”i hate how CC and Joba wear their hates – It makes them look like punks.”"
Sound like my mom
of course, they stronly suggest that we take whatever plan they give us because they want to sell out their weekday seats too for every game and this is a good way to do it by forcin single day season ticket holders from a weekend to a weekday. Do they not realize that people go to work and school during the week or they just dont care? Either way, its so easy to tell the fans to just accept the weekday games or nothing but not nearly as easy for the fans to actually be able to get to weekday games.I knew they were changing where we sit but this is the first I am hearing that they are changing when we go to the game. And Im sure they are really helpful at that number ha!
In case anyone cares…

Looks like Jeter was the only one who shaved for his pic. Everyone else has stubble.
rodg,
Haha. What I really meant was that Shaq would literally get in the way. Lebron drives a lot. Would the big shaqtus get out of the way fast enough?
Where’s AJ, we haven’t heard much about him. I got stuck watching a new show on A&E. It’s a reality show called “The Exterminators”. It’s like Orange County Choppers but they’re a family that eradicates pest in Louisiana. It was pretty hilarious. But anyway, the main character reminded me of AJ. Tall and lanky with the really wild, blonde hair & tats.
m -
That definitely would be the question if the move went down. Would Shaq clog the lane too much. I’d lean toward no.
‘Poor Tim Thomas… gets traded to the Knicks and Bulls twice. First for Eddy Curry, now for Larry Hughes.’
Truely that deal is a wash, Chris Wilcox is the first deal that makes sense for the Knicks in a long time. Now they need to figure out how to deal Nate and Lee for something while they can. You can always sign them as FAs and the market isn’t that outrageous might as well get something for them first.
“i hate how CC and Joba wear their hates”
But do you love how they wear their loves?
The team really must be working hard because these guys look exhausted and girardi looks about 100 years old. I love how out of everyone on the team, I think only Johnny, Matsui, CC and Cano were smiling.
rodg,
Probably not. But LeBron gets about 80% of the touches. And the Big Dog likes to be fed.
But, on the bright side, we get to hear about how LeBron (or Mo Williams) is the best player he ever played with and how Mike Brown is the best coach he ever had.

Waaahniston is homely, and whiny, she doesn’t touch Minka Kelly or most of Jeter’s other girlfriends.
They all look so mad in those pictures.
wow, that last comment had absolutely nothing to do with baseball…sorry haha.
though this is only slightly more on topic, I happen to enjoy the gangsta lean of CC and Joba’s caps. can’t wait to check out all of those photos!
Everyone looks pissed and sickly. Actual photographers took these pictures? I could have done better with a camera phone and a simple “cheese!”.
They look hung over. What was it, 8 in the morning?
POSTED: Feb. 19 — 2:25 p.m. ET
Could the Knicks make three deals today? Sources say the Kings have offered Kenny Thomas for Nate Robinson and Jared Jeffries. If the Knicks could move Jeffries, it would clear another $6.8 million in the summer of 2010. The Knicks would have to give up the talented Robinson and eat Thomas’ $8.7 million salary next year … but it’s probably worth it to the Knicks. Especially now that they’ve shored up their offense with the Larry Hughes and Chris Wilcox deals.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/.....dup-090218
Good god, the first one of those is so ghastly that I’m not sure I wanna go ahead with looking at the other 199. Swisher looks like death…must be all that Rihanna and T.I. My advice would be, turn up the Stones!
Wilcoz deal very smart. Athletic center will fit well with Coach Mike. Hughes gives them a true SG. Don’t see any market for Nate.
‘Waaahniston is homely, and whiny, she doesn’t touch Minka Kelly or most of Jeter’s other girlfriends.’
LOL you silly it’s not like Minka Kelly is something special, what she’s on Friday Night Lights that makes her that unbelieveable, I name you five girls right now that look hotter than her. Dude I’m 23 and I wouldn’t take Minka over Jennifer Anniston
They should have gone to Glamour Shots to get pictures taken
The fotos are “desaturated”, can they resaturate them?
I think this is my favorite photo:
i love how arod is all the way below with the camera (media) looking down on him like from a pedestal and then, there are ominous shadows surrounding him and you realize all those shadows are actually reporters casting a dark cloud over him from above. It is very artistic: and very cool.

‘Wilcoz deal very smart. Athletic center will fit well with Coach Mike. Hughes gives them a true SG. Don’t see any market for Nate.’
Hughes is a waste, he can’t shoot, he’s a glamour player that thinks he’s T-Mac. He’s basically just a guy that will come in and look a bit better than Tim Thomas at first then the broke back Larry Hughes shows up. Today the best move they made is for Chris Wilcox which signals the end of David Lee in NY because you have to trade him now.
dave,
even your links are long! How about trying tinyurl.com?
m,
all you have to do is click on it. You dont have to write the whole thing out.
Actually that link doesnt bring you directly to the pic that I was referring to but it is number 113 out of 200. HA 113,What are the chances?
dave,
Haha. You’re joking, right?
It’s just a courtesy to the blog. Long links kill the formatting (makes the posts wider), especially for mobile users.
But that was a good one. I’ve only memorized pi to the 221st place value.
Doesn’t Molina look like a Power Ranger?

Steven A. Smith, “If I’m the Spurs, I suck it up and get Vince Carter because even if it’ll cost money, it guarantees that we’ll be the favorite to come out of the west.”
Just use the link above to go to the picture galley and go to the 113 picture. It doesnt do anything to my formatting so I didnt know it messed up the cell phone users. Those guys have it so rough, I dont know how they do it.
Dave, before Pete yells at you again, or somebody emails him, use this link to shorten long links.

Aw:

Spurs would be pretty scary with Vinsanity. He’s a huge upgrade over the guys they’ve been playing at SF (Finley and Bowen). Doesn’t look like that’s going down though with only about 5 minutes until the deadline.
http://www.daylife.com/photo/0.....rk_Yankees
I’ve never seen Eddie without his frames. Doesn’t look like Jose can feel the knife in his back.
Pete, could you ask our new pitchers (CC+AJ) how they plan to deal with the team’s mediocre defense (old guys and bad prospects in key defensive positions)? Obviously they can’t say, “I don’t know. Man, Jeter has no business at short.” But maybe at least they can talk about how they handle errors or something.
“jennifer anniston is dating John Mayer – Whom is Much MORE famous than the CAPTAIN.”
is this serious?
as for anniston vs minka, on looks i’d probably pick a different one each day. star power/resume: anniston, without a doubt… dating Jeter *is* Minka’s claim to fame

Man, CC does have a full tat-sleeve on his right arm. Didn’t know that.

“Larry Hughes quit once he got his contract”
Hughes is supposedly a high character guy. He passed on scholarships to all the big schools and went to St.Louis so he could be near his younger brother who was serioulsy ill. His brother ultimately passed at age 20, back in 2006. That’s probably had as much impact on him as his contract did. Doesn’t impress me as a quitter.
This place has a lot of rules all of a sudden – oh the sacrifices we make.
Arod fan,
I dont know what you expect them to say. They will probably just talk about all the positives of the yanks defense – like tex and the solid OF if melky/gardner plays center. Also, arod, jeter and cano are not THAT bad of a defensive infield or at least CC would never say they are. He will talk about how good they will play behind him next year. Honestly, the defense is worlds ahead of what it was last year with nady/swish taking over for abreu and the best defensive first baseman in baseball for giambi. If cano has a good year defensively and posada holds up, this team has a decent defensive unit all of a sudden.
new poast
Some of those pics are downright bad.
Pettitte looks like somebody just handed him another subpoena.
Joba looks like he just got released from the drunk tank.
I hope these aren’t the pics they’re going to use on the scoreboard.
They should look menacing, not nervous!
rodg- i honestly didnt even notice how long it was until after i posted it and m commented on it nor did I know it messed up the formatting for people. And i have never used tinyurl until now but i guess you learn something new every day. I have been doing aright with the length of my posts over here – lets try to take it one blogging problem at a time.
meanwhile, I have gotten a few responses about the size of the link and no one mentioned a thing about the picture I was linking to. I thought it was a pretty cool picture no?
Cool picture Dave!
ahh the future
http://d.yimg.com/a/p/sp/getty.....k_yank.jpg
Steve B does it really matter, you can’t tell me you see Larry Hughes and blush about it. He’s not a significant player anymore, the best thing about today is JJ Fat is gone and Malik I pull chairs for a living Rose netted us Chris Wilcox..an actual big that defends, rebounds and blocks shots. He’s the poor version of Amare Stoudamire but can when he wants to drop 16 + pts. 10 + rebs and block 4 shots..I can’t believe I’m actually saying block shots w/ the knicks.
nice pic dave.
you’ve taken some abuse recently, but come through with shining colors.
trisha can attest, it can get a little chippy in here, but no ones out to get you. good job making adjustments.
any thoughts as to when the melky/gardner decision will be made?
Wow -
Pictures were pretty bad. These guys (except Damon & Cano) look like they’re going to the dentist or something. Pettitte’s was just weird.
If Joe G. would just let ice cream and candy back in the clubhouse –
all those player frowns would be turned upside down.
