Looking to kill time at work? We have just the solution. Plug in your headphones and watch the live video chat we had from Toronto yesterday.
Go to our ProTalkLive page and you can watch the video on demand.
I watched your live thing yesterday. Good work Pete, I still don’t see how they think that Mitre is a better option than Towers. Who seems to me to be better than Mitre or Igawa. Guess thats why cashman gets the big bucks and not me
Hey Pete saw you on Mussina’s Yankeeography last night…congratulations.
I did too. You were very good on the Mussina Yankeeography. You have a future as a reality show host.
I think that Towers would be better than Mitre. I could be alone in this thinking, but he had a big year in 2005 and what’s to say he can’t at least be serviceable.
I know no one wants to hear this, but Mitre earned himself another start.
1. He kept the team in the game (well, sorta even though he left with the Sox up)
2. Take out the 4 consecutive 2-out hits that plated two runs…still looks bad, but…
3. We ended up winning the game.
4. Using him in his next start won’t require a 40-man move.
I keep hearing Cash will keep his ear to the waivers situation and probably pick up another pitcher – any ideas of who might be available??
I just saw David Ortiz walking down the Avenue of the Americas. He was picking up loose papers off the ground. He said he was looking for his test results.
He did NOT earn another start. Sorry, I totally disagree. He just cemented why we shouldn’t use. He went less than five innings! If he had stayed any longer he would have given up 6 runs.
We need to pick somebody up off of waivers.
I saw him carrying a three wood – I think he’s in OJ’s foursome today.
Mitre’s done – as soon as they can acquire a warm body not named Kei Igawa or Russ Ortiz…
I’m sorry, I didn’t mean that he earned it or deserved another start as a reward. Just meant that he did just enough to avoid the pink slip.
But unless they sign someone in the next 4 days, I think he makes his next start.
m-So you’re saying he’s making it by default?
That I do agree with.
His next start will be against Halladay. Yikes…
I think Mitre pitches again too (unless someone else is acquired).
Its also worth noting that he wasn’t really permitted to get into trouble last night. He was on a remarkably short leash. Girardi yanked him as soon as they started hitting him hard in thr 5th. If Girardi didn’t do that, it could have imploded
The bar has been set pretty low for Mitre, and he’s still barely able to clear it.
But they needed someone to take the ball. He has a horrible WHIP and hasn’t given them innings. But, we’ve won 75% of his starts (can you say small sample size?). Maybe he’s our lucky charm?
Everyone is talking about aquiring someone else or getting someone else the ball every fifth day. Who, realistically, could this mystery pitcher be?
I’ve heard Duchscherer and Valverde mentioned.
I have also heard Garland as a possibility to hit waivers
I believe you could make the case that Mitre vs. Halladay would be the biggest mismatch in the history of baseball.

Halladay is pitching on Sunday…
Garland? Really? Hadnt heard that one, thanks guys. Man I miss Moose…
Hey, what would you guys say the chances are of getting some reasonably priced tickets on gameday saturday? I’d be there reeeeeally early. I ask because in the past I’ve been able to get them on the day of the game (pretty good seats, too), but I’ve never tried when it was BOS/NYY. Also, I think you guys would be of help since I have yet to attend a game at TNYS and many (if not all of you have).
Thanks in advance
“I believe you could make the case that Mitre vs. Halladay would be the biggest mismatch in the history of baseball.”
…And yet if Mitre had pitched vs. Halladay two days ago, when Halladay gave up five runs (4 ER, but we did score five off of him) we actually would have won the game.
Saturday’s forecast for the Bronx not looking so great…
NitO LiNk-Good luck trying to get tickets to this series. This is arguably the most hyped up series of the year.
Let Mitre pitch. Everyone knows Halladay can’t pitch in the Homerdome that is the new Yankee Stadium.
Just what i needed. I have 6 hours to kill until the game.
Grab a Big Mac Snack Wrap. They are good.
