Comments on: Random thoughts from spring training http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2009/03/02/random-thoughts-from-spring-training/ A New York Yankees blog by Chad Jennings and the staff of The Journal News Fri, 10 Feb 2012 17:12:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: CandyKane http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2009/03/02/random-thoughts-from-spring-training/comment-page-3/#comment-683564 CandyKane Tue, 03 Mar 2009 22:32:19 +0000 http://yankees.lhblogs.com/?p=7722#comment-683564 I'm with MikeD. Many a fan complained last year when coverage of Yanks ST was generated via SNY not YES. At least they put more exhibition games on this year. YES does need some more original programming. Whatever happened with YESterdays?? That was entertaining, particularly Joba's show. I thought we were going to see more of that. I don't mind Yankeeography, but I'm definitely sick and tired of the same games being played on Yankee Classics. I know the death of Munson was emotional, but how many times can we seriously watch the "Farewell to the Captain" game?? Another game I'm tired of seeing is the Chris Chambliss homerun game. It seems like those two are aired ad nauseum. I’m with MikeD. Many a fan complained last year when coverage of Yanks ST was generated via SNY not YES.

It was always disconcerting, but we went and got dinner from the gas station once or twice a month.

Ironically, I just started watching FNL 2 weeks ago on Netflix's "view now" feature and needless to say, I haven't gotten a lot of work done lately. Its a fantastic show. Season One was incredible, Season 2 definitely had a drop off, but regained steam towards the end, and I have yet to begin watching Season 3. As for the show's ladies, the one who surprisingly caught my eye as well was Mrs Taylor. She is quite the sex kitten. And sorry Derek, but Minka/Lyla's jutting chin is not very attractive to me. I'm all about Tyra though, who has oddly not been mentioned in anyone else's FNL posts here. Oh...and yea.....I look forward to the start of the Yankees' season. haha Great collection of random thoughts.

When I go back home to visit, I really can't watch yes because the programing is so lame... If you had a guy like Olney (Who Rivals PeteAbe as the best Sports Writer on the Planet)on yes.. the Brass would be too afraid to Let Buster be critical/objective of the yanks... Most of Yes's Programming is for the Passive fan,for the guys that thinks Hideki Matsui is in The Bernie Williams/Jeter/MO Category of Yankee, Not enough good Journalist on Yes.. Hence the poor sports coverage.

It's the toxic chemical that makes em smell so nice (snark) when you get them back. Enviro friendly dry cleaners have moved to chemical free processes.

That draft was three years ago! Settle down, the cavalry's coming. And Robertson looked excellent out of the pen last year. I'd rather have him than Tomko as the long reliever. As for the rotation, spots will open up for Hughes and others to get a few starts. With Burnett's season ending injury due about mid-May, and Joba's innings limit, there will definitely be starts not made by the top five. Dave,
