Pretty bruised right now, but the clubhouse is open and it’s time to get back to work. Most interesting thing on the board: Eduardo Nunez is coming off the bench to play left field this afternoon.
Derek Jeter SS
Russell Martin C
Mark Teixeira 1B
Alex Rodriguez DH
Robinson Cano 2B
Andruw Jones LF
Eric Chavez 3B
Justin Maxwell RF
Melky Mesa CF
Bartolo Colon
Super Sub, being developed.
Funny piece on SportsDome yesterday about Derek Jeter refusing to move to CF, so Girardi and the Yankees position him in ‘deep short’ which is in centerfield, and move an outfielder up to cover the SS position. Did Girardi watch that episode?
Also funny: “Yankees refuse A-rod’s request to play shirtless.”
“Jeter the short stop, playing at deep short. Defensive positioning has moved the left fielder shallow in the hole between 2nd and third, while the centerfielder Granderson has moved over to left-center
Bryan Hoch confirms that Phil Hughes twitter is real!
It appears that the LOHUD population has been thinned out, I think I saw Randy dropping pellets from a cesna.
I like the idea of Nunez learning the OF. With Jones likely the only backup outfielder, I would expect the backup middle infielder to get some playing time in the outfield during the season.
Jerkface, unfortunately, lol. I can see why Joba and Swish would tweet given how gregarious they are, but Phil does not strike me as the kind of guy that has any interest in telling the world all about his comings and goings. I think his initial tweets show…….awkardness, lol?
Daniel Tosh:
yeah, ill put the asterisk next to barry bonds once they put the asterisk next to babe ruth. Setting records before black athletes were allowed to play? You think he’d be hitting all those homers with CC whipping 92 mph sliders by him?
The joke goes on longer, but thats the main yankee related part.

betsy phil used to have a blog and updated it somewhat regularly in the offseason.
A few days ago, the best infield in all of baseball went a combined 2-11 against Baltimore starter Zach Britton. And with Tex’s normal early season struggles that is something no one wants to see repeated against the Pirates tonight even though it’s still super early in March.

Ys Guy, his blog was fantastic, but tweeting isn’t the same…..Shizz? Wittle boo boo? I just have a feeling that his friends (Curtis?) wanted him to get in on the act, lol. We’ll see how it goes, but admittedly I only check out tweets by sportswriters like Alan Hahn, not players.
It was thru Phil’s blog that I discoverd lo hud.

Jimmy Two-Times over here.
“Your first two statements seem to be in direct opposition. Overpopulation is not a myth if scientists were forced to create a pill to control it. hunters would be against a pill because then you just have a bunch of animals dying for no good reason other than to control population. If you allow hunters to do their thang, then the hunters are able to feed their family and the local area markets with venison.”
First all all, I’m fairly certain “overpopulation is a myth” meant “the problem of overpopulation is a myth.”
Secondly, I’m not game expert, but I’m also fairly certain the “pill” isn’t cyanide, but rather sterilization.
The pill isn’t killing animals, it’s inhibiting their breeding.
google Dr. Gary Killian of Penn State University
He has developed an oral contraceptive for deer and other animals
Stuckey, as a devout Catholic, any form of contraceptive is murder in my opinion. When you get right down to it, you’re killing baby deer. Let it be as God intended, with a high powered rifle.
Now if the hunting community is truly serious about controlling the deer population why are they against this method?

If they want to feed their family they can go down to the local market and buy it.
No I am not a vegetarian
Jerkface, I was JUST typing this out: “btw, if this now sparks a fundamentalist pro-animal-life debate, we’re all in big trouble.”
I decided against, refreshed and…
I’ve just now learned that deer are polygamous. Filthy, heathen creatures.

Some hunters go at deer with knives and spears, is that better? worse? a rock sling perhaps?
“now they just have to develop a little plastic case they can open with thier hooves…”
And teach deers the concept of what a month is.
Jerkface,
So contraceptive use on animals is murder but shooting them with a gun isn’t?
Meat from local markets comes from animals too.
Ugh.
I was hoping the scene change would bring a change of topic.

I like the idea of having Nuñez playing some OF. I could be wrong, but perhaps that would allow them to entertain the idea of bringing up both him and Peña.

Jerkface,
How about go at the deer on equal footing with no weapons at all.
In olden times, just having what he thinks is the correct and logical opinion would have been enough for someone like stuckey99, but now it’s not the opinion that matters the most to those like him, it’s the arguing about the opinion on blogs that gives his ilk their thrills.
stuckey, I’m taking the ‘under 97 wins’ prop for the Phillies. Is that enough to light up your logic pipe?

Animals have natural weapons. But sure, I guess I could wrestle it to the ground, gouge out its eyes and slowly choke the life out of it while its family watches. That would be humane.
Who watched Raising Hope last night? It was a reverse gender polygamy thing with a cousin. It was hilarious.
ah you guys are too much…I should have learned by now not to be drinking coffee and reading at the same time.

When are cuts?
I guess they’d cut him and Betances fairly quickly, but maybe give Brackman a little longer?
“A few days ago, the best infield in all of baseball went a combined 2-11 against Baltimore starter Zach Britton”
Zach Britton is a high end prospect. Check most prospects lists and you’ll find him listed just ahead of Manny Banuelos (qualifier: Britton is 3 years older). No shame in making outs against this kid. He’s legit.

Mell is correct Britton is good.
I am against hunting because it leads to over population, it throws off the herds, it kills off males at a 5 to 1 ratio, it leads to more deers coming to the suburbs which leads to more and more car accidents and for a ton of other reasons. I am also a free range humane meat eater
Even more controversial is the new practice of targeting those who have acquired Deerbergers Disease.
So many ethical issues… and only one LoHud Yankees Blog on which to hash them out.

One results in the feeding of a God-abiding family, the other only in the stink of deer carcass on the plains.
“Who watched Raising Hope last night? It was a reverse gender polygamy thing with a cousin. It was hilarious”
I’ve been watching that show. Still undecided on “funny” or “stupid”. The song the two girls did to get the nephew back with the polygamist was hilarious. Don’t think Cloris Leachman’s absence would cause the show to suffer much.

Nick,
Guilty as charged…
…and I don’t recall ever pleading otherwise.
Humans are more important than animals, and we can barely decide on the legality and morality of contraceptives ourselves. Now we are supposed to do the same for Deer? Let the Deer Elder Council decide that at their great Deermote every bicentennial.
Tom in N.J.,
I really don’t think that is going to make a huge dent in the budget. It is only done once a year
Jerkface,
What do you mean the legality of contraceptives? Last time I checked they were legal
Jerkface,
If humans are more important then animals then dog fighting should be legal right?
All of this talk about deer is making me want to pick up a copy of Bambi. Naturally, I would have to skip over the traumatic scene where his mom dies.
they’re culling deer in the south mountain reserve pretty regularly. its only about 20 miles from central park. is that the plains?
Some doe said she was on the pill but I looked in her refuse pile and the pills were all there hidden under sanitary napkins. Just another gold digger trying to get a buck stuck.

The states use 71% of the funds generated by hunting to enforce the hunting regulations of the states. The remainder are used to improve and maintain state lands for hunting use. Cleaning up after the hunting season, providing parking areas, and even stocking game on state lands for hunters to kill

Oy. How about dem Bombers?
Wow, so it seems like hunting pays for itself? And the hunters are depriving giant conglomerations of money that would otherwise be spent to buy food that was inhumanely processed in giant meat mashing factories in squalid conditions.
this is all Chad’s fault!!

Every year millions of trees and animals are killed to create baseball equipment. They could just air drop pills into the wild life and salt the earth to get the same affect, but these cruel baseball players just want to get their jollies off with a little ‘recreational game’.
The bucks could steal the BC and use it to mask PEDs you know…..
LoHudberger’s Disease is contagious.
If you live in a human world, using every day human amenities, you’re pretty much a horrible monster that is destroying the environment, so the arguments of ‘Save the deer!’ (which indeed are just like giant rats) fall on deaf ears.
Because I’m too busy listening to music through my headphones attached to my computer all built on land that used to be filled with animals using materials taken from the earth.

Two issues arise from this idea. First, you have to teach the animals to read the instructions on how to take the pills, and secondly, can you just imagine these animals thinking, “Hey, look!!! There’s some clown up there in a helicopter dropping birth control pills for us to eat. Let’s have a good laugh. We’ll go gobble them up and pretend to eat them. Just don’t swallow any. Don’t forget…the girls are coming over to the old watering hole…plenty of drinks and an orgy.”

You would have been naturally selected thousands of years ago.
A deer would kill you without hesitation.
Probably wouldn’t even feel bad about it.
they wouldnt need the bc if the does werent such sluts…
Free-range meat doesn’t mean the animal gives it up willingly. It still dies. Usually from having its brains shot out with a high pressure piston punch.
Jerkface,
Correct but the key distinction is we have free will and do not act based purely on instinct
“and taking infrared images of my house to find out if i’ve got weed growing in my attic.”
Do you?
By the by I’ve got a fishing trip scheduled for this sunday. Though I could just go to the store and buy canned tuna made from the Meat Mashing Fishing Vessels that slap together all kinds of fish and dolphins.

Read it. Florida had 8 billion dollars dropped into it last year from hunting.
“A deer would kill you without hesitation.”
Not recreationally.
If a cow had a choice….I wonder they would rather be led to slaughter or set free and given a chance to elude the meat processing folks.
Not recreationally.
–
You don’t know that.
There’s one of those rats with hooves eating my azaleas right now. Unfortunately, I’m within the city limits. By the way, the deer bag limit per season in Wilkes County, Georgia, is 12 per hunter. Everybody is tired of venison after the first six, or so!
Jerkface,
If we are apex predators then we should have no laws governing what animal we can and cannot shoot
I once saw a buck step on a snail, just crushed the guts right out of it. It looked happy, twisted in a way.
Pills won’t work. I think that the government needs to hire Triple and his like minded buddies be hired to run around the country and track down all of the male wild animals and put Trojans on all of them.
Remember, Triple….put them only on the animals…not on each other.

Wow Liriano just absolutely rocked again today. 5 hits, 6 runs, 5 earned and only was able to record 5 outs.
This patience thing by Cashman is working just fine. The Yankees have dodged some bullets this spring so far by not getting to impatient and making a bad trade or deal.
Man if Liriano’s price goes down and Cashman can get him for cheap…

So, Liriano got knocked around today? Might be his shoulder.
Guess the Twins don’t know how to take care of their young pitchers, right randy ?)
I am thinking Jerkface has had too much bacon today
It seems to me if deer were advanced enough mentally to kill recreationally they would be advanced enough to decide it was the wrong thing to do. Of course, that’s been a challenge for humans but maybe deer will evolve in a less bloodthirsty direction.
I did eat bacon today. Glory to the Meat Masher.

Thats a bit of a logic leap. Perhaps they are advanced only mentally enough to receive pleasure stimulants from their brain when they kill, but not being meat eaters have yet to develop the complex frontal lobes that allow for complex thought.

Read what? The page you sent me to is simply an index pages filled with dozen of links to various reports.
Why not just cite what you’d like me to read exactly?
“You don’t know that.”
Really?
Ah. Disprove a negative. Always a sign of backing yourself into a corner.
When they pair off with mating partners, often one or several drakes will end up “left out”. This group will sometimes target an isolated female duck, even when she’s of a different species, and proceed to chase and peck at her until she weakens, at which point each male will take turns copulating with the female. Lebret (1961) calls this behaviour ‘Attempted Rape Flight’ and Cramp & Simmons (1977) speak of ‘rape-intent flights’. Male Mallards will also occasionally chase other male ducks of a different species, and even each other, in the same way. In one documented case of ‘homosexual necrophilia’, a male Mallard copulated with another male he was chasing after said male had been killed upon flying into a glass window.”

“Perhaps they are advanced only mentally enough to receive pleasure stimulants from their brain when they kill, but not being meat eaters have yet to develop the complex frontal lobes that allow for complex thought.”
Maybe deer brains are different. Maybe instead of focusing on killing their brains can instinctively tell which 17 year old pitcher will be lights out at 22 but can’t understand that people would like to have that information.
Maybe one once did understand that, but was killed by a hunter before it could communicate the information.
I always thought you could tell a great deal about someone’s character or lack of it by their views on hunting animals they don’t eat.

==================
Why not drop cash so the deer can buy food and not starve
In Georgia, if you’ve had enough venison, you donate it to the State to feed prisoners.
My last word on this.
White tail deer population has grown due to the efforts of hunters, that stopped the commercial kill that almost made them extinct. This holds true for other hunted animals as well, and the fishing population.
As to pills being dropped from the air, that’s BS. Here is a link that explains how deer are controlled by them given shots.

I never met a hunter that hunts because “They love to kill.”
Saying that you know “plenty that hunt because they love to kill” says a great deal about those with whom you are acquainted.
