Wow, early lineup today, Chad!!!
Anyway, consider today’s GTLU cancelled.
86w183, thanks for playing anyway.
I like Russo playing 3rd so we don;t have an automatic out, I love Pena but Im good with having him as a late game defensive replacement.
Let’s hope that Vasquez continues to throw the ball well and the offense comes alive.
If we get over the hump today.
It’s broom time tomorrow.
And in other news:
U-Jim won another game !
Just mail it in when you see his name on the Line up card.
Why bother ?
25 + games this year ?
Yanks best in AL east in last 10 games going 7-3. Making move to first place.
Anyone looking forward to today’s game against England?
Good Morning.
I played the GTLU game Home Edition and lost. Thought Moeller all the way today.
Roger-
I dont follow soccer but isn’t the US a specialist in the breakaway play
especially when it comes to England ?
Haven’t they already learned their lesson ?
We beat ‘em over 200 years ago in the biggest game of all time.
They went down for good after that.
And U-Jim got relatively roughed up last night allowing 3 in 6 albeit it wasn’t exactly optimum pitching conditions.
To be honest..I don’t really know a lot of American players so I don’t know what to expect. England is a good team but I don’t see them as one of the favorites.Anything can happen.
Is this game a big thing in America right now or not?In the Netherland the streets are orange and everyone is talking about it.
Doreen,
Glad you cancelled GTLU. Saves me from a loss today
pat, I would have had Cisco & Granderson flipped.
We beat ‘em over 200 years ago in the biggest game of all time
———————————————————————————————————————-
The Yanks beat ‘em in the rematch about 30 years later. Then spent the next 140 years bailing them out.
Roger -
You are asking the wrong person about that.
I do love an ice cold bottle of Heineken though.
Get back soon Gardy!
MTU
That’s something we have in common then
GB-
Good Morning.
We Americans have big hearts, and used to have big wallets.
Don’t ever trust a Brittish built carburetor. That’s all I can say.
What is Cashman waiting for to pick up another bat??? The russo’s, pena’s, thame’s are not cutting it. They need a DH.Who knows how healthy A-rod will be the rest of the year and Posada looks lost at the plate. Wake up cashman and get a bat in here!
What beautiful job the country of SA has done so far from the stadiums to the ceremonies.
I was there 2 years ago when they when people around the world were raising questions about whether the country would be ready for the Cup.
And what a shame Mr. Mandela could not be there for the opening ceremonies yesterday, because some idiot drove drunk.
He of all people should be the one most celebrating this great thing for his country, but instead is mourning the loss of his great grandaughter
Roger-
“That’s something we have in common”
Well I loved Groningen, tulips, windmills and the lovely Dutch women too.
Any of that strike a chord ?
LGY-
What took you to SA ?
Roger-
And I almost forgot to mention my favorite Artist M.C. Escher.
Good morning everyone
Hola Erica
Que tal ?
Can someone tell me why it sounds like a swarm of bees have invaded the World Cup game on ESPN or is it just our TV
We have a lot in commen!
MTU,
I did a summer study abroad/training program. Basically learned how to develop non profit organizations and had to get our own project off the ground working in groups of 4-5 with students from the US and all over Africa.
Being able to see the country and travel a bit after the program was over while earning credit didn’t hurt either
MTU-
Not much. Trying to get ready for the beach and I am a little off my game this morning.
I have this powder I use on my hair on days between washes. I just put way too much in my hair and now it looks the the left side of my hair went completely gray overnight. LOL
today’s game against England?
———
Yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.
We don’t watch Rugby.
Yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.
LGY-
I have never been to SA but I know people who have.
They described the climate as being wonderful and the backcountry with all it’s wildlife as fantastic.
See Kruger NP or any of the others ?
MTU.Why Groningen btw?Did you study there?
Good morning, all –
1. Nice win last night. As Chad points out, bench – Cisco, Russo – played big parts in that win. Now just 1 game back, with Tampa coming down to earth. I can sense that order is about to be restored, and the universe will be at peace
2. Story in the NY Times this morning. Bud has relieved Jimmie Lee Solomon, exec. VP of MLB, from his duties in supervising the umpires. Frank Robinson will now oversee them, as well as on-field operations and security. It’s about time a change was made. Ever since Solomon took over for Sandy Alderson, the umpiring has gone downhill. Frank Robinson has a tremendous reputation as a baseball man, so I’m optimistic that things will improve, maybe not this season, but going forward.
Erica-
Don’t forget the Suncreen and try to be kind to the Men who are waiting in line to meet you.
Please don’t kick sand in their face. I’m sure they have waited patiently for the chance to meet you.
Good morning everyone. I am looking for another Yankees win even with another compromised lineup. We have had lots of those this year. It was nice last week when the full starting lineup played last week.
Roger-
You might say I like the more out of the way type places (what a surprise, huh ?).
I was on my way to the Danish countryside and Groningen was right in the way.
Joe from Long Island -
Wow. That’s quite a development. It is about time, but at least a good step.
Interesting news Joe for L.I.

********
Haha. I will resist the urge to karate chop
Interesting news Joe from L.I.
I wonder why so many of you think the Yankees aren’t doing a good job offensively. Here are some relevant MLB team stats and where they stand against all the other teams:
Batting Average: 1 (tied with Cinn)
Runs Scored: 2 (Sox are #1 by 3 runs but have played 2 more games so Yankees lead in runs/game)
RBI: 2 (again, Sox are #1 but have the extra games)
BA with RISP: 10
RBI with RISP: 1 (they have 25 more than the #2)
RBI with RISP and 2 Outs: 2 (Atlanta has 3 more, big whoop)
These may not be good in your video games or fantasy leagues but in the real world, where it counts, these are about as good as it gets.
Joe from LI-
Thanks for sharing that
MTU
You’re American and you’ve been to Groningen.I’m dutch and have never been there..Lol
Leaving for the beach now. Catch you all much much later tonight (if the weather cooperates)
MTU,
I did not go to Kruger. I was on the southern tip for my entire stay. Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, etc.
I did go to Ado Elephant Park as well as a reserve where they rescue lions from abuse and take care of them.
Also, will never forget my trip to Robben Island and seeing Mr Mandela’s jail cell.
Absolutely beautiful country and people. Very underrated as a travel spot. I hope to return one day and see more of the country.
“BA with RISP: 10″
Satified?
You have such low standards.
Satisfied.
Boy reading the http://www.denverpost.com they admit the Rockies got away with a win. The game should never have been played, the fielders couldn’t see the ball. The post says it was raining harder when the game started than during the rain delay. They refer to the game as a rinse cycle. Ubaldo said, the team won for him, he was having grip problems, due to the rain.
I say thank you Rockies, you beat the Yankees division rival and they gained a game on the Rays!!
pat
It is the sound of the fans playing plastic trumpets.

Is the sun out on LI? Not looking like much of a beach day today in Westchester.

——————————-
and you are a moron, they are tops in RBIs with RISP, that is the most relevant stat by far.
And here we go. The name calling already started.
Roger-
That is frequently the case on how it is. People travel 1000′s of mile to see things and often miss the beauty right in their backyard.
LGY-
Please do that and report back.
Phil Columbus
Thanks for the explanation. My future World Cup viewing will be done with the TV on mute because that was pebble in your shoe annoying.
Just the presence of MG lowered the blog accumulative IQ by 50 points.
SAS
Full starting line up? Did Nick Johnson come back?
Doreen
sorry to miss GTLU, altho i would not have selected that!
Its been pouring here all am. It finally stopped for awhile so I took the dog for a walk and then went for a run. Hope the weather is better downstate.
What?,
lol….I forgot he is on the team. I don’t know if it is old age or wishful thinking..
gardner tommorrow and that will help.
go out and get a bat!!!!!!!!Where, who, and how much. Not happening fantasy baseball geek.
pat
It isn’t so nice in Westchester. What town do you live in?
MG
thats for the stats. Sometimes we focus on the negatives of our own team and don’t think that every other team faces the same challenges.
upstate kate -
You didn’t miss much! The lineup was posted so early, and there was only one person playing. So, I cancelled it.
whoops, I meant thanks!
In Central NJ, the sun keeps going in and out, and it’s not really warm, but not chilly either. An “iffy” day if ever there was one.
I think Erica goes to the beach unless it is raining. I think her friends are there so I hope she has fun.
The Yanks need to trade A-Rod, Teixiera, Granderson, and Posada after this season and replace them with M.L.B.-ready rookies at 1B, 3B, SS, and LF to go with Cano, Cervelli, Gardner, Swisher, and a re-signed for two years only Jeter at DH.
The Yanks should offer Jeter two years at his 2010 salary per year because what’s Jeter gonna do, collect his 3000th hit elsewhere since he’s not reaching that mark this year?
The Yanks have all the leverage. If he leaves, he looks greedy esp.after he got a decade-long contract.
The way I see it, two of the rookies would do well enough to stay as everyday players, one would need more work and possibly be a platoon player until he could play every day or just be a platoon player, and one probably wouldn’t make it. It’s a zero risk move because the Yanks could always sign players for 2012.
Bottom line is the Yanks won the World Series with A-Rod, Teixiera, and Posada, and without Granderson.
I would rather see 2011 be a year the Yanks don’t make the postseason and rebuild than see A-Rod and Teixiera stinking it up to being medicore in their late thirties, another year of Posada behind the plate, and Granderson being a shadow of his days with Detroit, eso. if the Yanks win it all this year.
Yanks repeat as champs = More than enough credit with the fans to rebuild in 2011.
So Yoda I guess you dont feel saying a person has low standards to be name calling huh?
