when does mariano take the mound. no need to rush, just curious
Thank you for actual baseball news – the PED stuff brings out everyone’s bad side…
Pete it is like 20 degrees, with a strong enough wind to blow me over. No sympathy here.
If Edwar were here, he’d get be blown down 40th street.
We should make this thread and whatever other posts from GMS Field Pete files all baseball, and let the sharks bite at each other about PEDs in the earlier thread. If anything carries over here from the last thread, it should just be ignored in favor of some baseball talk.
48! I’d be in shorts @ 48!
Can we keep all A-Rod talk to previous thread? That shouldn’t be asking too much. If you have something to say about the guy, say it in the thread about him. JMO.
Looks like Gardner won the poll vote yesterday. His speed gives us a whole new dimension to this team. It can’t be focused on enough.
100+ runs out of Gardner would be a Godsend. I hope he steals 131 bases and picks up third base out of the ground when he does it.
“Ricky was a great baseball player. But, today, I am the greatest of all time” – Brett Gardner
Than, he’ll refer to himself as Brett for the rest of his career.
i smile every time i hear chien-ming wang :>
Wanger + Halladay = two of the quietest best pitchers in the game
i really think you can segregete the arod chat into maybe 2 (or 3) designated arod posts and declare the others all-natural zones.
whaddya think pete?
I think we don’t need to wait for permission – just do it

When Brett gets his $1 million bonus check for stealing those 131 bases, he’ll frame it and put it up on the wall in his house instead of cashing it.
Also, in a few years when someone tells Brett to take a seat on the team bus because he has tenure, he’ll respond “Ten years? Brett’s been playing for 16, 17 years.”

whaddya think pete?”
hamfighters-
but you have to admit that you feel better having gotten it all out in the past post
28 degrees and windy here. No sympathy to them from me!
So, I guess we should just label Brett Gardner the starting CF for the 2009 NY Yankees, because he won the poll.
It will be interesting to watch.
Should the guys really be working in 48-degree weather? Isn’t that when injuries can happen? The Yankees haven’t had such a great track record with ST injuries in the last couple of seasons. Don’t they have indoor facilities or something?????
Well, I guess they’ll be playing in 30-degree weather up north in about 6 weeks anyway.

Considering how last year’s lineup responded to the cold by collectively not hitting through April and May (and, you can argue, through September), it might do them good to be out practicing in the 40-degree weather.
24 degrees and 11 inches of snow, SO FAR. No signs of it stopping soon. No sympathy from me Pete.
Brett was asked if he thinks it’s accurate that 50% of the league takes steroids. Brett’s response: “Well Brett’s not one of them, so that’s 49% right there”
Brett told reporters he could see “The Entire State building” from his apartment
Cashman called Brett once and asked him why he hadn’t cashed his check. Brett’s response: “I’m waiting for the money market rates to go up”
I can do this all day. Ricky quotes are hilarious
It was 48 or so here a couple days ago and I went out without a coat…
Wind, snow up to my knees and 10 degrees this morning for me Pete– so sorry to hear you got 48– Thats shorts and tee shirt weather in our part of PA!
Andrew -
Good point.
I still worry about the injuries, though. (Well, worry in the context of baseball, not in like, I’m sitting here losing sleep about it.
)
Wah Wah Wah! You big fat baby. You spend your life eating, drinking soda, and following around a baseball team. You get to spend 2 months of your year in Tampa. It’s 24 and cloudy on Long Island. Stop your whining and get your pictures up.
If a player is properly stretched and warmed up, the ouside temperature shouldn’t increase injuries.
This year’s Hall of Fame Weekend is going to be the first one I’m actually excited to follow, ONLY for the hilarity that is guaranteed with any Rickey interview and, ultimately, Rickey’s acceptance speech.
Sweeney Murti is so useless – how did this guy get a job covering the Yankees? He’s on with Evan and Joe (not that they spent much time talking about anything other than A-Rod) and he starts giggling stupidly and saying how that he can never answer the question as to how players look this early in ST because all they are doing is stretching ,etc.. Sheesh, Sweeney, ya think fans don’t know that? It’s not like they are looking for serious info, they just want to know that a player looks like he’s in decent shape – anything, ANYTHING to talk baseball. Talk about a player’s attitude, talk about any interesting (even small) items that you are privy to that we aren’t. All Sweeney has to do in these situations is throw the fans a bone – don’t just lay an egg.
Jermaine
Did you miss the first sentence, I don’t expect much sympathy?
There is always going to be speculation now about Alex and his story, but I hope we can avoid all day sessions based on such speculation. Until hard facts come out, I really wish we could just concentrate on baseball.
Pete, any idea when AJ is set to throw BP? Thanks!
Um.. Sweeney is right. There is nothing to observe from watching players stretching and running.
It is kind of pointless when people ask how so and so looks. I mean, what is there to base it on? If they run fast?
They are watching players exercise from a distance. Hardly exciting or newsworthy. All they really have is quotes from Girardi, Posada, and co. about how people look in BP sessions. Nothing else is newsworthy.
Cmon Pete you have plenty of “insulation” you should be wearing shorts!
I would imagine they would let the pitchers do their sessions indoors on such “cold” days so early in the season. Leave no chance for anything!
I’d kill for 48 right now. The wind up here in Storrs has been HOWLING since like…8:30. And it’s 26 degrees out. Damn yous. Damn yous all to hell.
how about all the stuff that Pete’s posting here- so and so pitched bp to XXX…if the radio is your way to be informed, most of the posts here are things he can share
My favorite are all the cliched “this guy has gone through an off-season makeover!” stories that come out in Spring Training.
RotoAuthority has a really funny compilation list of all those types of stories that have already been written so far this year. In fairness to Sweeny, he may just be rebelling against the overwhelming trend here:

25 with 2-4 inches of snow tomorrow, and I’m just getting over a cold. No sympathy for 48. If it were 48 here, I’d open the windows.
personally i LOVE all the ‘best shape of my life’ garbage that comes out every year. its a rite of spring. its part of spring training. im sure carl pavano never felt better in his life. ditto for miguel tejada.
its fun, who cares, the royals have the same record as the yankees this week and some guy who his .215 last year is crushing balls with authority to all fields! (ok, it was off the 62 y/o 3rd base coach)
this is the stuff of which ‘workout week’ is made.
How does Phil look so far?
Uh, yeah, 22 here on the North Shore, with a winter storm warning and six more inches coming tonight. It’s a good thing you’re not expecting any sympathy Pete, because you aren’t getting from Joe Girardi’s alma mater.
I live in tampa and work 2 minutes from dale mabry right across intl plaza. It is slightly above 60 right now. kind of a cool day…
