Brett Gardner was taken out of tonight’s game after feeling some minor soreness in his left thumb. He felt it on a check swing before his seventh-inning single.
“He said it’s happened 20 times since last year,” Joe Girardi said.
The pain is a byproduct of last year’s broken thumb, and Gardner said he’s had occasionally pain that flares up and goes away in a few minutes. This time, it was a little worse than usual so he told Girardi about it, and given the score, Girardi decided to take Gardner out and give Marcus Thames an at-bat. Gardner expects to play tomorrow.
“When (last year’s injury) happened, the told me it might not feel right for almost a year,” Gardner said.
I’m glad Brett said something instead of trying to play through it…….
Andrew, I do find it funny that Gaudin is the major topic of conversation, lol
hope this is nothing big…the g man is very important to this team…i dont want to see thames out there defensively
Nice Yanks game tonight. I have a great feeling inside right now
:derek jeter fist pump:
FB, Gardner.
Melk Man up to .240 now for the ATL
Remember when people were writing this guy’s grave?
Melk man heating up, as he always does in the 2nd half of the season.
Stuckey, re: the post in the other thread, thanks!
I never really thought about it before, but I like that Phil is thinking just one pitch at a time; I suppose he doesn’t believe in wasting pitches and I suppose that’s a reflection of his confidence in himself.
Mason 12:02
Not calling Melky done for. Just realy simple answer would you rather have Gardy playing left or Melky? Pretty obvious 2 most.
Livan Hernandez pitches tomorrow for Washington
What a buzz kill. Strasburg to Livan….
Ramiro Pena was 0-for-1 tonight, average down to .222, I am just outraged. He should be off the team. Am I doing this right, or does it need more umbrage?

Hey, just looked at the week’s schedule. Yanks will apparently miss Oswalt over the weekend.
I watched the whole Nationals game, a swift 2 hours and 19 minutes. SS was so fun to watch so I figured I’d skip one game against the Os
And I thought it was for defensive purposes. Silly me.
If I counted correctly, next Tuesday will be Halladay vs. CC in The Bronx. That will be something

Is the point of the site to complain about fringe players on the roster that have extremely small impacts on seasons? But of course, it is nonsense to not be posting calls for Gaudin to be DFA. Cook up some more whaaamburgers, it will all prove to be very important business come late Octobet

Posters that set themselves up as censors of what is acceptable to post are kind of amusing.
You may prefer to be a fanboy. I don’t care.
Other people want to see best roster construction decisions possible.
Snack on that um, whamburger, whatever that is.
Against the Phillies, looks like we draw
Halladay, Moyer, Blanton
Halladay-CC
Burnett-Moyer
Pettitte-Blanton
Phil Hughes is no Stephen Strasburg. Cashman has to be the worse GM of all time the guy can ‘t do anything right. Granderson stinks he can’t buy a hit off a lefty. We should have kept Hall of Famer to be Austin Jackson. /sarcasm
Jeremy, for a second you had me going, lol
Jeter is such a bust. Only 5 World Titles, and he’s not even good looking either.
CR-
you and judging men’s looks lol.
“Posters that set themselves up as censors of what is acceptable to post are kind of amusing.”
I believe smart people can agree there is a difference between “acceptable” and ridiculous.
And there is hypocritical quality to the response if you care to see it.
“Other people want to see best roster construction decisions possible.”
So you completely miss the point being made, that on a night where the 23 year old starting pitcher won his 8th game, David Robertson put up a good inning, and Swisher, Teixeira, Cano, Granderson and Gardner all had nice games, the last thread was DOMINATED by superfluous drive-bys about Chad Caudin?
Tyler
In case my last comment was misconstrued, I was joking.
Betsy
Yeah sometimes I try to act like some of the crazy posters just to make fun of them.
lol I know you were just joking. But it’s always he’s soo hottt or whatta cutie with you lol. you confuse me. But at least the C’s lost!
“I believe smart people can agree there is a difference between “acceptable” and ridiculous.

You’re a funny guy.

No, I think you’re missing the point.
It’s acceptable to post what you want a post without a hall monitor with a pencil holder in his shirt pocket whining about what should and shouldn’t be posted.
If Gaudin hadn’t just blown a game on Saturday, it would be one thing.
But alas, he did, and his presence on the roster will cost this team games if it isn’t addressed.
Yeah I agree Jeter is a bust. If he is a Hall of Famer and a Captain he should at least have 10 World Series ring. Overrated !
CC is too fat to be an ace. A.J. Burnett is a headcase and looks like an ostrich. Rivera though he is good is old as dirt. Posada can’t catch. Cashman should be called Trashman. The Yankees failed to draft good talent this year. A-rod needs Kate Hudson because he can’t hit.
So. Doc, huh? Hopefully he has forgotten how tough an AL lineup is.
Hughes is a joke of a pitcher. Strasburg only gave up 2 runs against the Pirates while Hughes gave up 3 against the O’s. Weak !
/sarcasm
I mean I’m happy the Yanks won but Gaudin is really struggling. He’s not even giving them innings out of the pen at this point in needing what 45 or so pitches in just 2 innings. The long man can be fairly important in certain instances. If he continues pitching like this he has no use on this team.
Was listening to Tom Heinsohn on the way home tonight and he was killing the refs
Tyler, it looks like Gaudin may be done; I’m not quite sure that’s the case yet, but he’s been terrible, and he was terrible in ST.
Gaudin has given up runs in 4 of his 5 appearances with us. And the runner got thrown out at home in the 1 appearance he didn’t.
He sucks
“It’s acceptable to post what you want a post without a hall monitor with a pencil holder in his shirt pocket whining about what should and shouldn’t be posted.”
So YOU want to criticize Chad Gaudin’s performance, but expect to be above criticism about yours?
Why are you exempt?
As well as reserve the right to also play hall monitor?
“If Gaudin hadn’t just blown a game on Saturday, it would be one thing.”
He “blew” that game? Did I miss a memo about the Yanks guarantee to score the next inning?
“But alas, he did, and his presence on the roster will cost this team games if it isn’t addressed.”
I’m just glad I’ve found a forum that is able to provide me with insightful information like a guy with a 8.53 ERA isn’t pitching very well.
I honestly don’t think about where’d I’d be as a baseball fan without such astute dialogue to help educate me.
The Lohud Yankee forum – where the painfully obvious is always the favored topic of the evening…
You won’t believe this. Right now Larussa has Randy Winn batting 2nd, his Era is now.243.
Dodgers lead 1-0 top of 9th
“So YOU want to criticize Chad Gaudin’s performance, but expect to be above criticism about yours?
Why are you exempt?”
As a lawyer? Have at it.
“I honestly don’t think about where’d I’d be as a baseball fan without such astute dialogue to help educate me.”
Do whatever you do in real life to educate yourself…if you think it’s working.
Betsy,
He was falling behind hitters in a 12-3 game. It was pretty pathetic. I hate to pick on probably the 25th guy on the roster but hey i’d rather the team have no weak spots at all. I like Mitre in a middle relief role but maybe they can call somebody up or pick up a new guy off waivers.
New Post
Hopefully stuckey let’s us discuss what we want to there.
we’re going to need a bat soon when Jorge goes back to catching. Cervelli is wearing down and will be a great back up when he returns to a 30/70 catching role. When Jorge catches we could use another bat/outfielder. Gardy may wear down and Thames is an excellent dh vs leftys but is suspect vs rightys and can’t play the field. Any ideas?
Albert Pujols is hitting .306 wow!! Nobody believes he’s 28, they rumor he’s at least 34-36.
Carpenter didn’t get #8, he got a no decision, Dodgers win 1-0 with the Ace on the mound.
It’s true. I’ve broken both of my thumbs, several years ago and I can still tell they’ve both been broken at some point. There’s no pain anymore, and maybe it’s psychological, but I can still tell. So yeah, it might take a while for him to be 100%.
