The Yankees rolled to their sixth straight win tonight, beating the Red Sox 14-3 behind three home runs from Mark Teixeira and five RBI from Francisco Cervelli. Teixeira’s final home run came off Red Sox outfielder Jonathan Van Every, but his second was a solo blast that gave the Yankees the lead for good. The bad news was Alfredo Aceves, who left the game because of a stiff lower back, continuing the trend of recent Yankees injuries. Aceves was credited with the win.

I’m sure CC is just happy that we won.
Who gets the belt-Tex or Cisco???

You must finish 5 innings as the starter to qualify for the win, no matter what.

That rule just doesn’t seem fair to me.
Its difficult enough for starters to earn wins with bullpens blowing leads
LOL The Yanks have humiliated the Sox every which way; they really are an amazingly resourceful team. Unfortunately, these injuries are piling up – and Ace’s back is going to be a major issue going forward. Hopefully Marte can step up (I think that’s why they left him in – to see if he can give multiple innings).
Ace should be fine.
How about DH’ing Posada for awhile and let Cervelli do the catching?
Think Joe would entertain the thought.
Not crazy.
Cervelli is a nice kid!
BOS is down, but not out. It’s still early. That being said, the more they fall behind us and TB, the harder it will be for them to make a push at the end.
Walking away for a while now-
My couch is calling!
Good thoughts for Ace, everyone.
That was a rip-roaring win. Fantastic.
Everyone can have sweep dreams tonight .
Something tells me that the Yankees poured it on in part because they were ticked off about last night. The sox can thank their ace for that.
Gameday called everyone of vanevery’s pitches a change up because he could not crack 80. Lmao
“How about DH’ing Posada for awhile and let Cervelli do the catching?
Think Joe would entertain the thought.”
No, he wouldn’t. That would royally annoy Posada and Girardi wouldn’t want to do that to a veteran, let alone one of the Core Four.
Finish em’ off tomorrow. End the Sox’ dream!
Tex with the hat-trick
Pouring rains, then pouring runs
Brushing back Beantown
Will we have a IGWWGI — “I Guess Who Will Get Injured” — contest?

DYNASTY Are these Yankees’ DESTINY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CC didn’t get win #5 till May 30th last year.
?Making him something he is not is just counterproductive. Just let him be.?
Excuse me? He?s all that and more friend. And you just might be in the minority thinking on Cervelli at this point in time. To put your mind at ease, in case this is what?s going on with you, this isn?t a Posada v. Cervelli thing.
i thought we wouldn’t win this game anymore because CC threw at the Keebler Elf
Thank you, ABC, for showing those clips of the great Willis Reed!
40 years ago to the day! What a great New York sports hero!
Peavy, 5 perfect innings
Excuse me? He’s all that and more friend. And you just might be in the minority thinking on Cervelli at this point in time. To put your mind at ease, in case this is what’s going on with you, this isn’t a Posada v. Cervelli thing.
——————————
It is not about Posada v. Cervelli. It is about being realistic and having some objectivity. People on this board are ready to crown some of this kids future HOF.
Cervelli is not on the level of being a very very good Major League baseball player. He is no where close. He is a very good back-up catcher for the Yankees and he is very valuable in that role. But that is who he is.
It is getting ridiculous and it fuels the stupid conversations like Cervelli should be the starting catcher over a real HOF catcher.
People really need to get a grip when it comes to Cervelli. He is doing a great job for the Yankees. No doubt about it. But it is insulting to the very very good players he plays with to put him on their level and it is unfair to him.
Ace – lower back stiffness.
The Yanks would have to carry three catchers on the roster if both Cervelli and Posada are in the regular lineup.
The odds of that happening are zilch because they’d have to drop someone from the 40-man roster to add Chad Moeller.
That’s not going to happen unless Posada or Cervelli goes down for awhile.
its over. he gave up a solo bomb
Are the Cervelli HOF voters on this bored the same members of the Gardner HOF?
“It is getting ridiculous and it fuels the stupid conversations like Cervelli should be the starting catcher over a real HOF catcher. ”
Aha!
Yankees now the lead the majors in runs scored. They are fifth best in runs allowed.
Boston has now allowed the 2nd most runs in the majors. Only Pittsburgh has allowed more.
Great, great win for us today.
CC took care of buisness with Pedroia.
And the cherry on top of the cake is that TB lost.
LGY,
Too many fans simply go way overboard when a player is in the middle of a streak, good or bad.
Happens all the time.
Cervelli and Gardner are the modern day Johnny Bench and Rickey Henderson while Curtis Granderson and Javy Vazquez need to be benched, traded, released, or shot at sundown.
It’s ridiculous. You’d think they’d never watched this team grind through 162 games.
No, he wouldn’t. That would royally annoy Posada and Girardi wouldn’t want to do that to a veteran, let alone one of the Core Four.
=====================================
It’s a shame because Cervelli is much more athletic and it would extend Posada’s career.
You don’t need a 3rd catcher because if Cervelli got hurt Posada could catch the rest of the game and lose the DH. Callup Moeller or Montero the next day.
Last 2 days had to have helped their run differential
Wow, maybe I should not watch the games more often. I just finished watching last nights game. Man was Hughes impressive. Going for the sweep tomorrow.
“Are the Cervelli HOF voters on this bored the same members of the Gardner HOF?”
I don’t think anyone mentioned HOF. It’s kind of silly of LGY to go off because people don’t necessarily see things the same way he does.
I’ve never said things one way or the other about Gardner, but I give credit to the people who stuck with him when the naysayers were trying to discredit everything about him. I guess he’s showing them!
As soon as Cano is ready to play the field it’s Juan Miranda come on down time.
All hail our overachievers- GGBG, Cervelli and Pena.
May it continue.
Po would actually be an ideal DH till Nick gets back.
He could easily reinjure himself behind the plate.
Francisco Cervelli has 137 at bats in his career. 137.
Even if he were to somehow keep up this pace he still has a long way to go to be considered a great or very very good major league baseball player.
It is foolish to be putting these type of labels on him.
Who is labeling Cervelli? I certainly am not.
Po is hurting, our DH is out, let him DH for a week.
Exploit the luxury.
“It’s kind of silly of LGY to go off because people don’t necessarily see things the same way he does.”
“I can’t imagine how anyone wouldn’t see it that way but you know not everyone wears big girl and big boy panties, ha ha.”
A tale of two Trishas?

—————————————————–
Very well said Trisha, again, when you are right, you are right!!!!
“Too many fans simply go way overboard when a player is in the middle of a streak, good or bad.”
GF, before you go off on a tangeant I didn’t just notice Francisco Cervelli. I’ve been watching him since he came up. I know what he has to offer as a catcher and he is terrific. And he is getting better and better. So what is your problem?
Blake, hope you had a great anniversary!
Phil is starting to live up to his nickname………and now hopefully AJ will live up to his tomorrow (bad a s s).
lol, people are so funny.
Nobody’s calling for Jorge to be replaced. Some of us are just saying let Cervelli catch a few more games until Jorge is completely healthy.
Which he obviously isn’t, because the plan is to DH him tomorrow.
It’s not making Cervelli out to be more than he is or threatening Jorge’s legacy.
It’s about not rushing Jorge back who’s had two issues in the last two weeks.
You don’t need a 3rd catcher because if Cervelli got hurt Posada could catch the rest of the game and lose the DH. Callup Moeller or Montero the next day.
————
Yes, they would.
Girardi is not opposed to using both n the same lineup once in awhile. But he’s not going to do it on a regular basis.
They would need three catchers on the roster. Believe it.
I like Cervelli, too. But let’s not go overboard. He’s doing a fantastic job as the backup catcher.
Leave him alone and not make him out to be something he’s not.
Big boy panties?
Thank you Mike!
I think it is great that the Yankees won another series. Tomorrow night they are playing with house money.
mick – yeah I couldn’t think of a better word.
It was about people who are still uncertain about Phil Hughes being a good pitcher, if there are any.
They would need three catchers on the roster. Believe it.
I like Cervelli, too. But let’s not go overboard. He’s doing a fantastic job as the backup catcher.
Leave him alone and not make him out to be something he’s not.
=====================================================
Do we really know what Cervelli is?
Like I said you can always call up a backup catcher tomorrow.
No doubt the pitchers love Cervelli and he is indeed a better catcher than Posada.
Thanks mel. It’s just amazing to see the firestorm that appears whenever people notice all the great things about Cervelli.
m,
Trisha claimed Cervelli is “great” and then backtracked to “very very good.”
That is really making Cervelli out to be something.
“I think it is great that the Yankees won another series. ”
Me too, Fran!
Where could one obtain a pair of these big boy panties?
The local WalMart?
And, it’s kind of sad that people are writing the last chapter on Cervelli already. His epitaph will read “Backup Catcher for Life.”
He might not be the Yankees starting catcher, but just like Gardner he could probably start somewhere in the league.
But in trying to protect Jorge or the younger catchers in the system, Cervelli gets knocked down a peg.
Instead of saying, “Good job, Cervelli. Keep it going.”
Blake-
I hope you had a great Anniversary.
Many more.

————–
Not sure what you’re problem is because I wasn’t singling you out. I didn’t even read what you said.
My only point is that too many fans read way too much into someone in the middle of a streak. They don’t seem to have a whole lot of perspective.
Betsy,
Thanks, it was really good. Hated to miss that game last night though. Phil was fantastic. Great win last night and today…unfortunately they came with more injuries. Glad Cano was able to get back in there today.
“Trisha claimed Cervelli is ?great? and then backtracked to ?very very good.?
Yeah to shut you up because I saw where it was going.
What a blessing Cervelli has been. He gives the Yankees the great luxury of keeping Posada fresh, getting and keeping Posada healthy, without skipping a beat.
J. Edgar Hoover wore big boy panties.
Nick,
Great minds think alike
Good job, Cervelli! Keep it going!
The players aren’t polarizing; it’s the commenters.
trisha’s in love with Cervelli. Don’t hold her enthusiasm against her.
Some people just get so offended when others get excited by the younger players. Like we can’t enjoy their efforts.
MTU,
Thanks buddy. Another series already won….can they put that first nail in the BoSox coffin tomorrow?
Boston.com headline:
Yankees steamroll the redsox, despite a HR from Victor Martinez, and a rain delay, nothing could slow the New York Yankees in another thumping in fenway park.
Music to my ears!!
Who wears these big boy panties you speak of?
Instead of saying, “Good job, Cervelli. Keep it going.”
————————
Which everyone on this board has done.
Everyone counteracting the ridiculous hype about how great of a major league baseball player he is has said he is doing a great job right now.
How about we wait until the kid has a little more than 100 abs to put him in the conversation with real great players like Cano, Posada, Jeter, Tex, Alex.
I don’t know Trish, your back-tracking on Cervelli kind of makes you seem like an ‘untrustable punk’.
That’s the spirit, Nick!
# mick May 8th, 2010 at 8:47 pm

—————
Girardi isn’t bloody likely to do that. He’s going to have a backup plan for a big decision like having both of your catchers in the starting lineup everyday.
He was a catcher, too – ya know. Once in awhile is fine and dandy, but he’s not going to make it an everyday thing.
Posada’s legs are shot. Don’t be surprised if Cervelli is your everyday catcher at some point in the season.
“Not sure what you?re problem is because I wasn?t singling you out. I didn?t even read what you said.”
This latest barrage of negative comments with respect to anyone really liking Cervelli came because I had the audacity to say some positive things about him. So that’s what I thought you were reacting to also. At this point with certain people on the forum it is almost a pavlovian response. Cervelli – Posada. Unfortunately, not all of the comments people make about Cervelli are meant to be framed in terms of Posada! The comments I made certainly weren’t.
“Who wears these big boy panties you speak of?”
That depends.
(sorry, but I think I’m allowed to go low-brow if Uncle Ellsworth isn’t around)
Cervelli hit .190 in AA.
.190 in AA. That is simply atrocious.
He is simply a beneficiary of the fact that there is not yet a detailed scouting report on him. Who is the last person to hit under .200 in AA and be even an average baseball player? It doesn’t happen. Cervelli is simply benefiting from the fact that no one is respecting him, as a backup catcher in a stacked Yankees lineup. Now that he has set the world on fire, there will be a detailed scouting report formulated and his numbers will deteriorate.
Blake, glad it was great; it’s been so much fun following Phil. I’m sorry you missed the game, but it looks like he’s going to have plenty of chances to face the Sox in his hopefully very long and productive career. The injuries are mounting, but the team keeps winning, lol.
Trish, why do your apostrophes come out as ?’s ?
What a team, even the non everyday players filling in are contributing.
Blake-
“Thanks buddy. Another series already won….can they put that first nail in the BoSox coffin tomorrow?”
The Sox are busy digging themselves a deep hole that’s for sure.
They are Zombies- the living dead. They just don’t know it yet.
Have you seen their upcoming schedule ?
Oh my goodness. Lot’s of luck with that.
As people have said if they don’t retool they are done. I agree.
Let’s put it this way, Cervelli’s doing us a big favor by playing well. There’s no need to panic and rush back Jorge.
I know Jorge’s a competitor and wants to play, but I’m sure he appreciates his understudy’s efforts which are in no way hurting the team.
I dont understand the attacking Trisha again.
How dare she be high on Cervelli, when nobody on FOX, ESPN, MLBNetwork, and the NY media will.
It must compensate for a lot of deficiencies to attack her.
Let me try attacking someone to compensate for what I am lacking.
Tim McClelland is a dirtbag. Every Celtic acts like a murderer!! And I dont mean to insult dirtbags and murderers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No way is Frankie the permanent starting catcher this year unless Jorge goes down…….
Fran, I am literally playing with house money on the series win; I took the Yankees series-win prop bet.
I lost on CC getting over 5.5 K’s, though; stupid rain delay.
Who are these Stooges you speak of?
“Everyone counteracting the ridiculous hype about how great of a major league baseball player he is has said he is doing a great job right now. ”
Great job right now? Who did the majority of catching last season when Posada and Molina were down? You? My admiration for the job Cervelli does and his fantastic defensive catching ability comes from continuing to watch him develop, not from observing one week’s worth of work!
They are Zombies- the living dead. They just don’t know it yet.
==========================================
I think they do.
Every umpire that has ever existed is nothing but a criminal.
Ken Rosenthal looks like he has committed crimes against children.
Peter Gammons is a sexist pig.
Joe Buck is a disgrace to his father.
Tim McCarver is a lunatic.
The Red Sox are violent criminals.
This feels good. Telling it like it is!
Trisha,
It is not about just Cervelli-Posada. It is just one example for how ridiculous comments like Cervelli is a great baseball player from the regulars on here fuel stupid conversations.
It is just as insulting to the whole other litany of great players on the Yankees to put Cervelli on their level.
Being a great major league baseball player is not some small thing. It is very rare and it is very special.
It does not do you favorite player any favors to put that kind of label on him when he or any other player with 100 at bats in their career is incredibly unlikely to ever be considered great.
I respect a good coma.
MTU,
Yea they are going to have themselves a time digging out of that hole with their upcoming schedule and the quality of teams in the AL East. Tex picked a nice time to break out a bit today huh.
Pete says Van Every’s fastball was 79 mph ouch!!
Nick, I respect a good comma
Andy Brickley is a dirtbag.

CR9,
It is not a personal attack. They are responses to her comments. If she wants to say ridiculous things she is going to get called out for them like anyone else on here.
It has nothing to do with Trisha the person. You do not need to come to her rescue everytime anyone responds to her. She is more than fine handling herself.
Okay, I see the problem.
More “Cervelli’s playing great” and less “Cervelli’s a great player.”

M, good point! Don’t think Girardi hasn’t thought about it, if not right now, in the future.
He just cringed when asked on the postgame fearing the Wrath of Po.
LGY -
Can we say Cervelli is playing great baseball?
Perhaps the same rule for negative/positive comments – describe the play and not the player. That seems to be where all the controversy seems to always arise.
Right now though, I think it’s fair to say Cervelli is playing like a great baseball player. Or even a very good one.
Wasn’t Beltre supposed to be the best fielding 3B in baseball?
grrrrrr, New England clam chowder is the worst, seducing you with its evil creamy goodness!
Trisha,
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with showing enthusiasm towards a youngster. I do it myself because I was always a big Gardner guy.
But there’s a difference between showing some enthusiasm towards a player and absurdly over-hyping or dumping on someone who happens to be in a really good streak or a really bad one.
CR9, that’s one ugly list!
Can we loot the coma victim?

CR9, I can’t thank you enough for having my back. I notice you do it a lot, and I never think to thank you for it. It takes a special person to put himself out there and take up for someone else when the pack of dogs mentality takes over. So I sincerely thank you.
************
LGY, I tend to speak in superlatives in case you had never noticed. I don’t think anyone here was thinking I was trying to put Cervelli in the category of Babe Ruth, or Derek Jeter, or any of the real greats.
Cervelli is doing a great job….at what he does….spelling Posada. He’s also the type that if he’s over-exposed on offense, he’s not going to be what he appears to be. Just like Kevin Maas, Shane Spencer, Ricky Ledee, Rick Cerone, Joltin’ Joe Charboneau, etc.
Cerevelli was hungry last year for the opportunity, he proved himself worthy to be Posada’s backup. Even Winn drew 2 walks nice.

I have said numerous times on here how great a job Cervelli is doing.
It does not help anyone, Cervelli included, to proclaim him as a great major league baseball player.
Scooteroo, ha!
some call him scatter-throw.
The only thing that can stop the Yankees at this point is if they have to forfeit for not being able to field 9 due to everyone being on the DL. I’ll take the Yankees best 8 against any 9 in the league right now anyway.

“But there?s a difference between showing some enthusiasm towards a player and absurdly over-hyping or dumping on someone who happens to be in a really good streak or a really bad one.”
GF, I do neither of those things.
Cervelli has done a great job as the back-up catcher. So much so that Cashman did not re-sign Molina after last season. I think it’s great that the Yankees have the depth to overcome an injury to their starting catcher and not miss a beat.
Blake-
“Tex picked a nice time to break out a bit today huh.”

as long as someone carries it. Tex did his best Usain Bolt today when he took the baton.
pat,
Good for him. I didn’t think about the belt, but towards the end of the game looking at the box score I was thinking it’s hard to choose between Tex and Cisco.
Perhaps, the HR off Van Every only counted as a 1/2 HR.
Jeff Van Gundy. Mike Breen. Yes, I mentioned Boston cream pie! Peter Gammons, I didnt mention him.
trisha,
It is hard to tell what you were doing when you call Cervelli great everyday. I do not know how you want people to interpret your comments, but that seems pretty straightforward so I responded as such.

But a lot of people do. That’s what my alleged “tangent” was about.
“It is not a personal attack. They are responses to her comments. If she wants to say ridiculous things she is going to get called out for them like anyone else on here. ”
Wow, there were a lot of “ridiculous” comments about Cervelli on today’s forum! You should go back and read them all and call everyone out LGY.
By the way, I don’t consider you Jesus or your opinion on things etched in stone. And it wasn’t that long ago that you were really having your butt handed to you but one of the regulars here who disagreed with your take!

BTW, Girardi flat out said on the postgame show that he didn’t like the idea of playing both catchers in the lineup regularly.
=============================
That’s because he’s afraid of Posada.
Right now Sox fans are saying, “Who is this Cervelli you speak of?”
Reading some Sox boards…. Sox fans think they own CC now. They are citing how they roughed him up today and on opening night and think they own him like we do Beckett. They are also making fun of his weight and says that a 100% Beckett, Lackey, and Lester are better.
Mick seems to hate Posada.

“Tex did his best Usain Bolt today when he took the baton.”

————-
Whatever the reason, he said it. And he’s the guy who makes out the lineup card everyday.
Why don’t these brave Sox fans show their face in here?
Lighten up GF, it’s all in fun.
GF, Girardi has to keep saying all the right things to keep from stepping on Posada’s delicate ego. Joe knows that Cervelli is an excellent catcher and Jorge is almost a liability behind the plate at this point but if he gives the media any raw meat there will be a feeding frenzy. He has to figure out how he can keep Cisco behind the plate and provide Jorge some kind of cover so it doesn’t look like he’s being replaced defensively. Jorge’s injury coupled with NJ on the dl give him an excellent excuse.
trisha,
This conversation got boring when instead of making a case for Cervelli being a great player like you say you decided to resort to personal attacks. I am done with it.
Y-A-W-N!
Did I do that right?
m
Tie goes to the back-up
Trisha, I’m really disappointed in your photos. I didn’t see any of you dancing on a table. And, for the dirty minded, I wasn’t asking for pictures of her doing a table dance.
GF, in reality do you think Posada is as good a defensive catcher as Cervelli?
Last year, KLong did major work with Cisco, specifically working on shortening his swing thru the zone, and going more up the middle. If you remember, all of his hits today were up the middle, just making contact, not trying to do too much.
Hard to argue with results.
I like the dressed up Trisha.

Jim,
You’ll be right if the Yanks drop someone from the 40-man roster and add Chad Moeller.

Reading some Sox boards…. Sox fans think they own CC now. They are citing how they roughed him up today and on opening night and think they own him like we do Beckett. They are also making fun of his weight and says that a 100% Beckett, Lackey, and Lester are better.
===============================
PHO
Why not invite some in here?
GF, how about adding some more fuel to the fire and bring up Montero!
So trisha, let’s say NJ comes back in two weeks (just a hypothesis).
In your world, does Cervelli continue to catch, with Jorge DH’ing and NJ sitting, or does it go back to the status quo ante?
Listen everyone. I have to tell you something that’s going to come as a big surprise…
only 2-3 days for Aceves? Good news.
I think Theo built the Sox to win the playoffs assuming they were automatic to make the playoffs. 3 strong starting pitchers, and a few bats could win series but not a season,
who needs montero when you can have cervelli
(joking)
The only ones that might be in danger of dropping off of the 40 man roster would be Sanchez or Albaladejo. If they get a clearer picture of Johnson’s injury and it’s more than just inflammation, they could put him on the 60 DL. He’d be out until the All-Star break.
I realize it’s hard to believe and I’ve kept my feelings to myself for too long, but I really dislike Peter Gammons.
Nick in SF, I hope you don’t feel ignored because I never respond to you. I am merely taking some advice you gave me a few months ago:
“I don?t blame you for taking offense at pretty much anything I say and discounting it.
…
So, if some clown like me is too immature to leave things be, why stoop to my level?”
And so I don’t.
tou’re really Ryan Seacrest?

GF, in reality do you think Posada is as good a defensive catcher as Cervelli?
————-
Perhaps you should lighten up because the question is irrelevant and has nothing to do with the topic at hand.
Everyone on this board knows Cervelli is a better defender than Posada. Posada has never been a good defender. Never.
But he’s compiled near HoF numbers and 5 rings. He is the starting catcher. Period.
Cervelli has been fantastic this season and that fact may give Girardi the incentive to rest Posada even more.
But the reality is, Posada is still the starting catcher. That’s not going to change.
I think Theo built the Sox to win the playoffs assuming they were automatic to make the playoffs. 3 strong starting pitchers, and a few bats could win series but not a season,
==============================
They were never built that way before. Always a good hit, good enough pitching team.
Defense was never an issue.
They are just not good enough anymore. No Manny behind Ortiz. No slew of hitters. Theo will be next to go.
I was in a fantasy league with Peter Gammons once. We had an auction type draft. He was phenomenal picking the $1 and $2 players at the end of the draft. He had a weakness for Boston players. He was a really nice guy.

No way that’s going to happen. How could Scranton march on without their closer?
Carl, where did you get 2-3 days for Aceves?
“Did I do that right?”
You’ll never keep up with me, so don’t even try. By personal insults did you mean my calling your posts ridiculous? Oh sorry, you did that to me1
who needs montero when you have romine.
j/k 
Speaking of Montero and pictures–Just got home from Scranton vs Bulls. Boy do I have a funny picture of Jesus. But I have no idea how to do put it on the web. Nick can you help?
Perhaps you should lighten up because the question is irrelevant and has nothing to do with the topic at hand.
===============================================
Ok perfessor. As Casey used to say. The topic at hand?
Trisha, you can post that every day of the week, but it might not have the effect you’d like it to have.
Did Gammons ask you, “What kind of name is Wave Your Hat?”?
Mike Milbury. I almost forgot him.
Albaladejo was lights out tonight as Scranton’s closer. Zach Segovia looked real good as well.

But the reality is, Posada is still the starting catcher. That’s not going to change.
===================================================
Semantics. In the end Girardi will do what it takes to Win.
“Did Gammons ask you, “What kind of name is Wave Your Hat?”?”
Nah, I had an even dopier one then.
I don’t mind Gamo. He is a Sox homer but he is also very complimentary of the Yankees.
There are far worse analysts than Gammons including
Nomar
Schilling
Dan Shaughnessy
Pete Abe
Lupica
Joel Sherman
Buster Olney
Keith Law
Ken Rosenthal
Evan Roberts
Steve Somers
just to name a couple
Thanks!
We’re just going to have to deal with this all year, although it seems like today’s episode was precipitated by a slip on the mound
Carlton Fisk. Johnny Pesky. Peter Gammons.
mick,
Nobody argued who is the better defender because it’s obvious and had nothing to do with our discussion.
The discussion was about whether Girardi would use or should use two catchers in the lineup regularly.
The answer is no. Girardi said it himself.
Posada is a hamstring away from being Cervelli’s backup.
“Trisha, I?m really disappointed in your photos. I didn?t see any of you dancing on a table. And, for the dirty minded, I wasn?t asking for pictures of her doing a table dance.”
Wave, things go back to status quo ante as soon as Posada is healed enough to come back.
This conversation isn’t about Posada. It’s about Cervelli and how I totally believe that he has everything to be a starting catcher for any major league team. But as with any guys coming up, they work their way in.
I truly believe he will start for the Yankees at some point. That’s how impressed I am with his abilities. (I did check the TOS and there is nothing prohibiting me from feeling that way.)
Don’t forget mark (the underwear model) and dr. dre . And Ben Affleck. #1 Fan.
trisha,
wasn’t a trick question. I’m in a nice guy mode these days.
Stop the nonsense, Posada is the starting catcher and Girardi isn’t changing that because Posada is a netter all around player than Cervelli and Girardi knows it.
Stop overrating Cervelli. He’s done a great job.
He’s not unseating Posada.
0.0% chance of that happening.
Don’t forget Peter King, the NFL Writer. A complete Boston-shill. I remember he was doing an interview about the NFL Draft last year with Joe and Evan WFAN and the first thing he said was
“How about that Jacoby Ellsbury? How the mighty have fallen” – this was in reference to Ellsbury stealing home during that 3 game sweep last year.
Another gem from him was saying that the Jets getting Brandon Marshall would be an awful move and would ruin chemistry, yet he wrote a column a week later saying Marshall would put the Pats over the top!!
Mark Wahlberg. His brother Donnnie. New Kids on the Block. Already mentioned Ben Affleck. Dr. Dre. Peter Gammons.
Trisha
I think it’s more than reasonable to believe that Frankie could be a starting catcher for at least one ML team, perhaps in the NL.
Nick –
I’ll post it whenever I feel I want to post it. It helps me to remember what you’re all about and also let’s others see why I don’t ever respond to your constant harassment.
You’ve told me not to.
Now you continue to do your thing and I’ll continue to do mine.
Peter King. Peter Gammons. Peter Gammons. Peter King. Peter Gammons.
Mick I agree, do you think its Theo beleiving in to much of his own Hype? But what the red sox really have to worry about is their home record, and they have nothing in the minors? Who are they going to trade to make a push? Lowell? Theo’s trades have been horrible, Murphy for Gange and Masterman for V-mart.
Can anyone think of a better place for Mark to break out of his slump, in front of the team that thought they had him signed?
Wave, I didn’t think it was. And my answer was a sincere one.
Amy Nelson. On the radio. Always laments when the Yankees do well. She does it as a good sport. But it’s totally unprofessional. “As a Red Sox fan” shouldn’t be uttered over the airwaves.
The more you play Cervy, the more he will regress.
Amy K Nelson. How could I forget.
And Cervelli is a cold streak of being behind Montero and Romine on the future depth chart. Your point?
There is no catching controversy. Posada is the starter and Cervelli is the backup. Girardi has said so himself.
I dont have anything against Tom Brady!! Classy guy with the supermodel looks
And a Yankees fan!
I dislike the word “regress”.
Well, I think we can all agree that (Jorge + Cervelli)= 3 (Victor Martinez)
Would be nice to sweep ‘em outa their ballpark tomorrow.
Keith Law and Callis both claim to have grown up Yankee fans. I don’t believe them though.
And didn’t Neyer said he hates the Yankees in one of his chats? Though he is normally pretty objective.
Stark is a Phillies homer, but pretty good as well.
A few Phillies homers in the media – Kruk, Jason Stark, and Mitch Williams. But still not anywhere close to the number of Red Sox homers!
Sorry for clogging the blog with SCUMMY BOSTONIANS.
I was nervous about the Pens game….
PENS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PENS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PENS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PENS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

==============================
Imposter alert!!!
If you are the real SJ, what is your nephews name.
You have 10 sec.
SJ44
Would you not agree that Cervelli could be a starting catcher on another ML team?
Your 10 secs are up phony!
Bill Belichick is a Yankees fan too, FYI.
He’s from NJ and grew up a Yankees/Giants fan and was the D. coordinator of the dominant Giant team in the 80s, which is hard to believe.
He has since become a D-Bag since moving to Boston, but he has NY roots.
It’s too easy to project small sample sizes over the course of a long season and it just doesn’t work. Everytime I hear that a player is “on a pace to hit so many HRs or get so many hits” I cringe because that presumes that pace will be kept up and most often it is not. Frankie is not going to keep this up, though I suspect he’ll be a fairly solid hitter for his career.
I think it’s wonderful to latch onto a player or players, for whatever reason. Frankie is a bit of a sparkplug and he’s almost becoming a cult-type figure, at the expense of Posada. I can’t think of one season where Jorge’s poor D has cost us, but I sure can think of seasons where his offense has helped us. Jorge is not being supplanted by Cervelli – no shot.
“I’ll post it whenever I feel I want to post it.”
Darn tootin’!
“It helps me to remember what you’re all about…”
You need to post something to help you remember what you think I’m all about? Is that like an affirmation?
“…and also let’s others see why I don’t ever respond to your constant harassment.”
Constant harassment? That sounds like it would be a violation of some sort, you should look into that. Maybe we’ll agree to disagree on that one.
“You’ve told me not to.”
I’m not the boss of you!
“Now you continue to do your thing and I’ll continue to do mine.”
Aye, aye!
SJ44, he’s not unseating him but he’s making a very good case that he should share more time behind the plate than a once a week spell. If he can bat .250-.280 he deserves the same 30% share that Posada shared with Girardi from 98-2000. Everyone likes to talk about Jorge’s 5 rings in his defense but he’s only been the primary catcher for 2 of those rings. He’s 2-2 in WS victories as a primary starting catcher.
Betsy,
Have you ever latched onto a young player?
Cervelli would be the starting catcher in…
Boston
Toronto
Detroit
Cleveland before Santana comes up
Kansas City
Texas
Seattle
Washington
San Diego
Houston
Pittsburgh
Cincinatti
Florida
Mets once Barajas cools off (the guy has an OBP in the 2s)
Thus, he can be the starting catcher here.
You guys are missing the point.
It is that don’t be surprised if Posada continues to have leg problems, he is old, but still can hit.
Nobody is saying Cervelli is taking his job.
Simply thatit might become practical and a luxury to be able to DH Posada and catch Cisco, that’s all, don’t get your big boy panties in a twist.
I meant ’97-99
“The more you play Cervy, the more he will regress.”
Why do you think that? Did he regress when he took over catching duties last season when our two guys were hurt?
Nick
Have people lost their senses of humors?
Guess who shut out the Cardinals with just 4 hits, Jeff Karstens starting pitcher for the Pirates
2-0
There is nothing in Cervelli’s minor league career that indicates he can maintain anywhere near this level of offensive performance. However, I’m glad he’s doing what he’s doing and there’s no reason to look a gift horse in the mouth.
GF, I have not…….
I have latched onto players, period – not just Phil. I just can’t root only for the uniforms; I get attached to all the players, though some more than others
mick: maybe but everyone has the right to not find something funny.
I’m not expert enough to as-sses Bald man’s list. But thank you for suggesting that Cisco could start.
Not everyone has the hitting prowess of yadier, benjie, jorge, and joe m. If you can call a good game and play defense you have some value. Hopefully the others can hit as well as you can.
CR,
You are a fu cking idiot if you think Cervelli could be a starting catcher on any major league team.
“You guys are missing the point.

Anybody and everybody is an injury away from being replaced. Take a look at the MLB listed ijuries and 15 and 60 Day DL lists for proof. Not all of them are 38 years old. You could make up a pretty decent team from them.
*can’t hit as well.
My only issue with mick is that he’s changed topics on me three times while I was debating the original one.
Boys don’t confess to girls who ass-ess.
youd think we just lost the series, people should be giddy, this place can be a morgue like Fenway was tonite, do the wave or somethin’
no comraderie amongst yank fans, don’t get it
GF, you really have to lighten up again, this is supposed to be fun, it’s not debate club.
With NJ hurt it makes sense to DH Posada and catch Cervelli. Neither Thames nor Winn are more than platoon players, and the answer is not in Scranton.
So the Posada-Cervelli argument is for the time being pointless, they should both play and Cervelli should do most of the catching.
mel
You watching the Lakers?
Once again, He Is Not The Real SJ…Do Not Respond, he will self implode.
Find your nephews name yet?
The abuse a starting catcher takes over the course of a season is enormous.
Not every catcher can handle it.
Cervelli has never even caught a full season in the minors. It is not a foregone conclusion he could even hold up over a full season with that kind of wear and tear.
So the Posada-Cervelli argument is for the time being pointless, they should both play and Cervelli should do most of the catching.
=======================
How is it pointless, you just made the point.
CR 9
That is NOT SJ44. He would never talk like that. Ignore the imposter.
******************
Wave, I’m impressed with his hitting but as mel wisely pointed out, not all major league starting catchers are known for their offense. But let me ask you this. Are you saying that what someone does in the majors can only be a replica of what has gone on in the minors and there are no people who come to the majors and absolutely astound people with what they end up doing? Not saying that Cervelli is one or is going to be one, but I find it hard to believe that players haven’t come up and done so much better than they did down below.
The problem for Cervelli is that is blocked by an aging Yankee star. For the time being he will have to play back up because the Yankees do not simply put aside someone like Posada for an upcoming star. That’s how it is in Yankeeland.
I understand both sides of the arguments but the are moot. Once Posada is healthy again, he will start. Agree with it or not.
LOL
I know that’s not the real SJ!
“How is it pointless, you just made the point.”
I should have said the argument is moot.
“It is not a foregone conclusion he could even hold up over a full season with that kind of wear and tear.”
That’s true, but if we’re going by logic rules, it’s also not a foregone conclusion that a young, professional athlete like Cervelli couldn’t hold up over a full season, no?
I have to save this blog post link, so I can easily remember everything Boston that I must despise!
I hope I can remember Peter Gammons.
trisha-
I’m loving every at bat Cervelli has. And I respect your opinion. For myself, I don’t think he’ll keep it up, I don’t believe he’s more than a .250 hitter with little power. However, I’m rooting for him to prove me wrong.

Just need a Lakers win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
gay Yankee fan, I think you laid it out well.
Now that we are all on the same page I am out, Sweep !!!!!!
Let’s see I just logged onto the blog and there is all this noise. I thought the Yankees won today. Shouldn’t we be celebrating?
Thanks for sticking up for me, CR9.
Mick-
I have to agree with you.
Things seem a bit cranky in here especially with the great win we had today.
You would think people would be a little more exuberant, effervescent, jubilant, joyous, or happy even.
Whoever is insulting Nick, please STOP!!
There is no need to attack Yankees fans!!
That’s what Red Sox fans are for. Peter Gammons, most notably!!!
Wave, and I’m certainly able to understand that until he puts in the time there is no way that we will know exactly how he will perform, up or down.
MTU
People just love to argue.
Yankees and Orioles are the only teams to win in our division.Yahoo!
SJ44:
Jorge Posada’s lifetime minor league average: .258
Francisco Cervelli’s lifetime minor league average: .273
If Jorge became one of the top 10 offensive catchers of all-time what does Cisco’s minor league numbers predict?
If one could judge major league success by minor league stats there would be no need for GMs. You can’t measure heart.
That’s better.
What a tip in by PAO! Right in the kisser!!
Reality check:
On May 8th, 2009, Mark Teixeira was batting .192/.336, with 5 HRs and 15 RBI
On May 8th 2010, he’s batting .207/.343 with 5 HR and 20 RBI.
Anyone need reminding what he finished 2009 with?
Be afraid American League, be very afraid.
The only difference between argueing and agreeing is u. (Just made that up)
mick
stuckey, think about how many MVPs Teixeira would have right now if he just hit .250 in April for his career?
Oh..
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers on here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Perhaps Tex should go to the Robbie Cano School of Hitting in April When Once Upon A Time He Couldn’t.
Has anybody bothered to see what Posada hits as a DH? He’s a career .211 hitter. That’s in 199 official at bats. He’s only slightly better as a pinch hitter. .237 in 119 at bats.
Posada can learn to DH.
Stuckey,
I was just wondering what Tex’s numbers were this time last year.
For everybody felling snarky
http://yfrog.com/0limg0496obj
I’d honestly advocate giving Teixeira a phantom injury in March, give the guy a handful of ABs the week before the season starts and just let him go from there.
He can’t hit any worse and probably all the preparation (mostly the mental part) works against him when the bell rings.
The Orioles are 3 outs away from losing the night game to the Twins — then every other AL East team will have lost at least once today.
Watching game 6 of the ’77 world series on Yankee classics. Joe D has his arm around Thurman Munson after throwing out the first pitch – and they tore that hallowed ground down…
Hi everyone,
Just got back from dinner and saw the Yankees score. However, does anyone know how bad Aceves is hurt?
Posada is going to catch when he is healthy enough to do so. Cervelli is doing a great job filling in but its Posada’s position and it should be. The Yankees are fortunate to have someone that can step in and do this well.
SAS May 8th, 2010 at 10:14 pm

I could be mistaken, but I thought I saw someone say it would be a few days
Tarheel-
Is Montero back in the lineup. Is he OK ?
I hear he pulled up lame the other day while running the bases.
Just wondering. thanks.
GB7-
Guess what Randy Winn will hit against lefties? Or Thames against righties if he does it every day? I don’t like Posada as a DH either but I’m not a huge believer in career stats at a position when it is not the player’s regular position and is spread out over a long period of time.
Thanks Erica,
Are you going to bake the cookies for Mother’s Day?
“I was just wondering what Tex’s numbers were this time last year.”
I saw the avg in the AP recap of the game and looked up the rest.
I was surprised he wasn’t farther ahead at this time. i would have guessed he was around .210 and misremember him having more RBI.
Never would have guessed he still on the interstate a year ago.
leave hate behind!
Montero is fine. He didn’t play but he warmed everybody up in the pen.
Has anybody bothered to see what Posada hits as a DH? He’s a career .211 hitter. That’s in 199 official at bats. He’s only slightly better as a pinch hitter. .237 in 119 at bats.
______
The Yankees will make up for the lack of production with less passed balls and predictable pitch calling.
MTU, last I heard he didn’t pull up lame, but didn’t run out a grounder and was disciplined. He was apparently in the bullpen warming up pitchers later in that game.
He didn’t play today. So he’s either hurt of being disciplined.
Tarheel-
Thanks. That’s a relief.
SAS, he’ll probably miss a few games……….this is something that we’re going to have to deal with all year. Ace doesn’t sound concerned.
Uh oh http://www. nesn.com, Dallas Braden calls Alex out again, says he’s ‘Just an Individualistic player. He’s still smartin over the Alex mound walk, bwahahah!
Thanks CR9…
I am looking forward to tomorrow because we haven’t seen our 2 yr old grandson in a couple of months, and I am not bragging or anything but he is the cutest kid.
Bad backs are horrendous. I have only had 4 serious back surgeries and more have been suggested so I am super sympathetic to that injury.
JimmyJackBillyBob,
You’re an idiot. He seems to have nursed 11 years of pitching staffs through 10 years of playoffs with passed balls and predictable pitch calling. By the way, take a look at some oth those pitching staffs. They weren’t very good. Do you know any other catchers that can make that claim?
Did I mention that you’re an idiot?
Nesn.com liveblog points out, Yankees back up catcher has driven in as many runs, (6) as the sox have scored. You got that right.
SAS, I looked on camera like it was just a back tweak when his his foot caught in the mud on the mound when he threw a pitch. He walked off without a limp or assistance.
SAS, just keep your grandson away from my great-granddaughter. She’s not allowed to date until she’s 45 years old, and, then, only with a proper chaperone
“He seems to have nursed 11 years of pitching staffs through 10 years of playoffs with passed balls and predictable pitch calling. By the way, take a look at some oth those pitching staffs. They weren’t very good. Do you know any other catchers that can make that claim?”
There seem to be a lot of Posada critics here. You would think you were on a RS blog.
http://www.Bostonherald.com Teixeira joined Lou Gherig (June 23rd,1927) as the only Yankees to hit 3 HR against the sox in a game.
Aceves will be fine
