I figured Cerv would play tonight. I didn’t think they’d want to break up the Burnett/Martin pairing.
Day game tomorrow so Cervelli getting 1 of the 2 starts makes sense.
I miss guessing the line up
It makes sense to me having Cervelli catch Freddy, then you have Martin w/ AJ.
ah Pat and Erin you are quicker typers than I am!
And the Cervelli groupies rejoice! NTTAWWT
do I want to know what that means Rich?
2008 Regular Season: 1 HR every 34 AB
2008 Post Season: 1 HR every 29 AB
I think its now time for anyone who says otherwise to have the burden of proof.
What’s NTTAWWT supposed to mean? Are you saying it’s a bad thing to be a Cervelli groupie???

Not That There’s Anything Wrong With That

Now I’m ashamed I didn’t get that.

Yanks have resigned lefty reliever, Jose Ortegano, 5 days after releasing him….minor league deal

Hi GB!
Erin- you should have figured that out!
kate-I know!! I can’t believe I didn’t get that.
Jonathon Broxton has been shut down with elbow pain. In his last three games, he was hitting a steady 96 MPH. Last night, he was at 90 MPH. His trouble this year has been control, not velocity.
he’s going for an MRI…as soon as they can locate an MRI tube large enough. He’s over 300 pounds.
“I think its now time for anyone who says otherwise to have the burden of proof.”
JF, I’ve eaten lunch, spent an hour in the weight room and finished a contract since our discussion on HRs in the post-season. Don’t tell me you’ve spent the entire time researching post-season HR rates. Walk rates are the key thing anyway. You need to research them next.
Eating lunch?! Was it the crow?! The crow I baked for you in the form of post-season HR rates for the past 3 years?!
If you look at the time between the 08 and 07 posts, it only took me 6 minutes to compile
GB-
They’ll just use one of those open MRI’s. You could fit a whale in one those.

Hi, Kate. Hope all is well with you up in the land of spring showers.
Here’s a great song for your listening pleasure.

“Eating lunch?! Was it the crow?! The crow I baked for you in the form of post-season HR rates for the past 3 years?!”
Never. You are looking at the wrong sets anyway. You should be comparing post-season HR rates against regular season HR rates for teams that made the post-season. It is quite possible that teams that make the post-season have higher HR rates than average. Therefore, comparing their post-season HR rates to league average HR rates is comparing apples to oranges.
Back to the books, buddy-boy!
2010 Postseason walk rate: 7.7%
2010 Regular season walk rate: 8.5%
Yankees regular season: 10.3%
Postseason: 9.8%

He qualifies as a young whale.
The MRI remarks were Mattingly’s words, and was serious. Broxton’s only about 6’1″. just BIG.
hallelujah Jeter batting 1st again today. afterall we do not want to upset the king.
derek try to hit the ball to the outfield today at least once………………..
I like my crow deep fried in peanut oil.
“Torre strikes again.”
Didn’t he use him for a 4 out save with a 5 run lead, then the next night, brought him in with a 4 run lead and made him throw like 40 pitches against us and allowed him to blow a 4 run lead?
Back to the books, buddy-boy!

Even I have a limit for staring at spreadsheets. Someone do this for 2010-2007 thx
You can’t hang it on Torre. He’s been at 94-96 MPH all year. He has zero control. The other night, he struck out first two batters on a total of 7 pitches…all 96 MPH fastballs, then the ball straightened out and gave up 4 straight hits.
Cervelli and Jeter batting back to back…..scary
GB
We have had the wettest April into May in years…worse than usual. The rivers are all overflowing their banks. Send some sun!

From the point that Torre left Broxton in to throw 50 pitches to now, he has a 9+ ERA
blake-
That sounds good. Crow’s probably not bad that way. Perhaps with hot sauce, plenty of mayo, lettuce, tomato and a hoagie roll.
Wave,
Id imagine almost anything is good after deep frying in peanut oil

At least you don’t have the trouble they’re having along the Mississippi. The Army Corps Of Engineers in MIssouri had to blow a hole in a vevee to release some of the water that flooded the farm land. The worst part is that they had to do that so the areas to the north had to release water to keep from getting flooded. They’re about 20 feet above flood stage. The entire Mississippi Valley is in deep trouble. The only thing running right now are the casino boats like the Alton Belle across from St. Louis.
Yeah, this 80-90 degree weather is getting boring down here. Hope ya’ll stay safe, Kate

Wow, I feel really sorry for you GB.
Yanks did a nice job against scherzer last time…..hopefully they can do so again.
Before that game .83 ERA, after that game 6.59 ERA

Yes, that was pretty cruel of me, Erin. I can see you now, sitting in your favorite chair, in front of the fireplace, reading a book.
“It was a dark, stormy night. Suddenly, a door slams..a shot is heard…a woman screams…”
Oh!!! It just Erin. She saw a mouse.
How about making Russel Martin the lead off man?? He’d be perfect in that spot on this team, he’s got a little pop, he’s athletic, and he gets on base. Jeter would fit in perfectly in the 7-9 slot…
Alas its a pipe dream, Girardi would get crucified by the media and will never do it…
Will Jeter hit the first pitch on the ground, or take a strike leaning toward the outside corner or will he hit a bloop single to rf?
I find myself rooting for the Giants to acquire Jose Reyes and for Reyes to declare free agency at the year anyways…

I shouldn’t complain about the weather too much since it is actually sunny today (shocker). I just hope it lasts the rest of the week!
Does Crow taste like Chicken? And what does chicken taste like?
Can one of you connected peoples please tell selieg that we do next years schedule to be altered a bit.
Boston CANNOT ever play the Halos again. Talk about laying an egg. And in return we will not have the twinkies on our schedule. Thoughts?
At the time, the Yankees were dead last in the American league at 2.22 runs below average for every 100 curveballs thrown their way, and after last night’s game that number sits at 2.24, still last in the AL by a mile (the Twins are second worst at 1.50). Other teams are aware of this weakness and have been pretty much all year (at the time of last week’s post, the Yankees saw more curves than all but one other AL team), and it was on full display last night. Brad Penny threw 19 curves out of 98 pitches on Tuesday (19.4%) compared to just 15.8% curves in his first six starts. Same deal with Justin Verlander on Monday; he threw 24 curveballs out of 127 pitches (18.9%) after throwing just 16.8% curves in his first three starts. This goes back through the weekend and last week as well.

“Cervelli and Jeter batting back to back…..scary”
VERY
. Thoughts?
=========
I think this blog has seen better days…
Hi SoS
Twins are in trouble. They just lost Thome and Repko because of oblique injuries. Mauer is just about to start doing baseball activities and Morneau is doing nothing. Young is still out.
Steal Liriano.
Its hot here in Florida too. It rained for like 15 minutes but now its just humid. I would so rather have it be 90 then 70.
SoS-
Whenever a person can’t figure out what something tastes like it ALWAYS tastes like chicken.
Me. I don’t get why the Chickens always have to take the blame. They’re pretty darn tasty.
Doesn’t seem fair. People should pick on some other animal to rag on once in a while.
Erin,
How ya doin Sweetheart.
GB,
Thank god I voted the twins off starting next year. As much as we own the twins. At least they put up a fight. The Angels on the other hand might as well forfiet or go up to the plate with a thunder stick as a bat.
Yeah, let’s just overpay to get Liriano because of one freakish game. Makes plenty of sense.
SoS May 4th, 2011 at 4:43 pm
Erin,
How ya doin Sweetheart.
***********************
Just fine thank you. And you?
It’s been a LONG time since I’ve seen you around here!
Stealing = overpay?
Danks is 0-5, steal Danks
MTU,
From now on. If something taste good, it taste like NY Pizza. If something taste bad. It taste like BOSTON baked beans.
SoS, that team (Twins) is snake-bit. team is hiiting under .230 and a team ERA of 4.90….only their defense is solid.
SoS-
I feel better now. Seems fair.
Jerkface
The White Sox offense is seriously killing me. I have Danks on my fantasy team and it always seems that he loses by one or 2 runs. luckily he always has a quality start.
Opened up an Old but new business again. So i have the power of the key board again and no supervision. Scary thought. As you will soon find out. It hasnt helped me from GBing my words. Spelling for dummies hasnt come in the mail yet.
Smith isn’t going to give Liriano away. He’ll want as much as he would have asked last year.
Chicken tastes like frog or snake I’m told. I couldn’t say what crow tastes like as I’ve never eaten crow, although JF would like me to and blake has a recipe which on reflection I’ve decided to leave to him. GB7 could probably tell us what crow tastes like as he no doubt had to live off the land at times.
Smith isn’t going to give Liriano away. He’ll want as much as he would have asked last year.
–
And he won’t get it, and if Liriano is eventually traded it’ll be for the same garbage he got for Johan Santana.
Funny that the same ones who have been saying to trade for Liriano since Spring Training are the same ones saying to trade for him now.
The same ones!!!
Hey All
so I will be able to share first hand knowledge at how Carlos Silva is looking when he pitches tonight for the Tampa Yankees. Oddly enough he will be pitching against the Daytona Cubs. Not that anyone cares.
The White Sox may soon be a decent shopping mart for pitching.
Here’s a stat about the bizarro world of LoHud-90+% of all stats posted are Negative as it relates to the Yankees.
here’s a fact about the Yankees: they are in 1st place in the AL East
Based on the above, it means that the more stats posted on the bizarro world of LoHud the more the Yankees will win.
Somehow I don’t think that is the way these stats are intended…
SoS, melted M&Ms with peanuts on the keyboard doesn’t help your spelling.
We don’t need Liriano, and we don’t need Danks.
We’ll have Hughes, right ?
He’ll be our mid-season acquisition.
I have never been able to get into fantasy anything. Cant get myself to root for anyone else accept for
Yankees
Colts
Spurs/Thunder 1b
Red Wings
Anyone who plays the Sox
Anyone who plays the Patriots
Anyone who plays the Lakers
Ledger_Yankees Cashman says Hughes feels a lot better. Had cortisone shot 4/28.
Ledger_Yankees Yanks will sit Hughes for 2 weeks then put him on throwing program

Yeah!!
Ledger_Yankees Cashman says Hughes “feels 110 percent better.”
“Ledger_Yankees Yanks will sit Hughes for 2 weeks then put him on throwing program”
Oh yeah that sounds like he’ll be back by mid-season…
Cortisone is a steroid, good for the Yankees to finally get these bums on some PEDs
I told ya’. tendonitis.
R and R.
that’s the ticket.
C U soon Phil @ 92-94.
GB,
Funny you say that. I was going to tell MTU that if something taste good it should taste like peanut M & Ms. But didnt want to admit to my addiction. You ever wonder why its peanut m n ms? Im getting some protein with my sugar. The best of both worlds.
Btw, i will use that as an excuse the next time i go into decode mode. What will you use for an excuse? Grandkids skittles melted on the keys?
the bizarro world of LoHud-90+% of all stats posted are Negative as it relates to the Yankees.
==================================
negative is positive, positive is negative, traffic is down, is that negative or positive?….
Cortizone to anti-inflammatize.
Ledger_Yankees Cashman sounding like this may have just been tied to inflammation. Still not clear what this means though.
The White Sox may soon be a decent shopping mart for pitching.

Liriano or Danks?
SOS, I wouldn’t allow a Skittle in my house. Those things are nasty. I have “Killer’s” pizza covered paws as an excuse for my spelling.
Pump hughes full of everything, since they seem like they have no idea
SoS-
Peanut M and M’s are eaten extensively by hikers for energy and pleasure not just for wayward typists.
Erin,
I guess Manning held a gun(cz 75 p01) to ownerships head and told them to use all their draft picks for O-lineman. Maybe one can be the new fridge Perry and convert a 4th and 1.
Liriano or Danks?
–
Danks is probably more expensive, though I think Cashman and Williams have a good working relationship. Liriano should be cheaper in Theory but Bill Smith stinks
Erin-
What it means is that Hughes should come back to us good as new, and nastier than ever.
Let’s celebrate.

lol. Maybe throw in some of grandmas famous Clemens B-12 while their at it.
New Post: Hughes feeling better after cortisone
“Liriano or Danks?”
I like them both although each will cost more than we think.

Five Players with Line Drive Rates Lower Than Jeter’s
Posted on May. 4th, 2011 by Steven Goldman
AL only, via Baseball-Reference:
Carlos Santana: 11%
Alex Rodriguez: 10%
J.D. Drew: 9%
Dustin Pedroia: 9%
Vernon Wells: 7%
That anyone has a lower LD rate than Jeter shocks me, but that A-Rod is in that group really shocks me.
Id much rather have Danks than Liriano….probably doesn’t have the upside but you know.more what you’re getting.
Hows Buerlie doing?
GB,
Let me guess. You then clean it with Bear face Bear? Am I not manly enough because I hate the taste of bear after getting hungover as a 16 year old? Where would Smirnoff Ice rate on the manly man scale from 1-10? The Original off course.
All that line-drive crap tells you is that the idiots that grade this stuff don’t know a line drive from a drive by shooting.
