TV/Time: YES/1:07
Weather: Partly Cloudy, 76 degrees
Umpires: Ed Rapuano HP, Brian O’Nora 1B, Alfonso Marquez 2B, Ed Hickox 3B
Day shift: The Yankees are the majors’ best day team, at 20-4. They’re batting .280 with 38 homers in the daylight.
A-Rod’s hot bat: Alex Rodriguez is batting .526 (10 for 19) with five RBI over his last five games and .391 (18 for 46) with two homers and 13 RBI over his last 13 games.
CC chasing 50: If CC Sabathia wins today, it will be his 50th victory in 85 starts as a Yankee. That would match Chien-Ming Wang as the fastest Yankees pitcher to reach 50 over the last 30 years.
Update, 1:12: Impressive top of the first for Sabathia, 1-2-3 with two Ks swinging on off-speed stuff, vs. Gonzalez and Helton.
Update, 1:15: Gardner shows his value as a leadoff batter, reaching on a perfect bunt single up the third-base line.
Update, 1:18: Gardner steals second, now let’s see if the Yankees capitalize. That’s just his 15th steal in 25 tries.
Update, 1:20: 1-0, Granderson cashes Gardner in with a single and moves to second because Eric Young doesn’t field it cleanly in right-center. Granderson has tied Teixeira for the team lead in RBI with 55.
Update, 1:26: A-Rod remains hot, his hitting streak now at six after his ground RBI single to right, 2-0.
Update, 1:37: One single allowed in the second by Sabathia, but two more strikeouts.
Update, 1:49: Gardner strands two with a two-out groundout in the second.
Update: 1:57: Sabathia gives up a walk in the third, but that’s it. So he has allowed just one hit and has five Ks so far, 2-0 Yankees heading for the last of the third.
Update, 2:02: Good start to the third for the Yankees. Curtis Granderson bloop single, Mark Teixeira double over Carlos Gonzalez’s head in center. Second and third, no outs.
Update, 2:05: A-Rod is making his plate appearances count, two-run double to the right-center gap. That’s three RBI today after driving in both Yankees runs last night. So it’s 4-0. That, by the way, gives him 50 RBI.
Update, 2:11: Nice headfirst slide into the plate by Rodriguez to score on Nick Swisher’s shallow fly to left-center. Ryan Spilborghs’ throw was just a little on the first-base side to help the cause. A-Rod just got his hand on the plate in time — 5-0.
Update, 2:20: That was an almost Jeter-like play in the hole by Nunez, backhand, turn/little jump (not as high as Jeter) and throw to second for the inning-ending force in the fourth. Tulowitzki has both hits off Sabathia so far.
Update, 2:30: Two singles to start the Yankees fourth, and they get nothing. Gardner hit into a double play and Granderson went down looking. Cervelli has two singles so far.
Update, 2:38: Excellent job by Sabathia to preserve his shutout after Ryan Spilborghs led off with a double and moved to third when Chris Nelson followed with a groundout. Matt Pagnozzi lifted a shallow fly to center. And Carlos Gonzalez bounced a 94 mph fastball back to Sabathia for the final out.
Update, 2:43: Cano hit into his second double play of the game after A-Rod drew a walk. So it’s 5-0 heading to the sixth.
Update, 2:48: Two singles to start the Colorado sixth.
Update, 2:52: Sabathia gets Tulowitzki to ground an off-speed pitch into a 5-4-3 double play.
Update, 2:54: Giambi strikes out, inning over.
Update, 3:00: RBI double for Jorge Posada, 6-0. He went the other way, to left-center. That’s his second hit of the game.
Update, 3:05: Cook is done with Posada on third and two outs. Lefty Rex Brothers is coming on.
Update, 3:13: Through six, the Yankees have six runs and 12 hits and the Rockies have no runs and five hits.
Update, 3:23: 1-2-3 seventh for Sabathia. Clayton Mortensen will take over the pitching for Colorado, and Jonathan Herrera has replaced Tulowitzki at short.
Update, 3:32: That’s three hits for Posada. The bases are loaded with two outs after his single.
Update, 3:34: Nunez bounces into a force to end the inning.
Update, 3:35: Ramiro Pena has come on defensively for Rodriguez.
Update, 3:41: There goes the shutout. Pinch hitter Seth Smith delivers an RBI single, 6-1.
Update, 3:42: I believe Sabathia is at 103 pitches through eight. Rafael Betancourt will now come on for the Rockies.
Update, 3:55: Homer No. 22 for Teixeira, this one a two-run shot off Rafael Betancourt. It’s 8-1.
Update, 3:56: Buddy Carlyle will take the ninth.
Update, 4:00: Carlyle doesn’t look too good again. Walk, two-run homer by Wigginton.
Update, 4:08: Carlyle finishes up. Yankees win, 8-3.
C ‘ da man! Go Yanks!
Set it right, C.
low complaining output yesterday may have been reason for low scoring game…
Waht’s with this line-up today?! Does Giardi want to lose!?!?!
K
Go CC. Go Yanks.
How can Girardi bat Tex third when he isn’t even hitting .350?!?!?
CC!
Ok–let’s see this pathetic lineup score some runs!
Ugh!!! Why has Sabathia thrown so many pitches in the first inning?
Just getting it started.
Hope Chien Ming has a good outing in A ball Monday. Wish it were at Lakewood (NJ) instead of home against them, so I could see Chien Ming pitch.
The Yankees lead MLB in scoring in the first inning. ( 10 run lead )
Keep it going Brett!
As Sterling says–If Gardner can do that, he’ll hit 500
Very cool start Brett!!
Nice bunt….now watch out for that pick-off move.
Perfect bunt. More of that Brett.
Let’s get a GMR here (Gardner Manufactured Run). Steal 2nd!
yankeefeminista June 25th, 2011 at 1:14 pm
Hope Chien Ming has a good outing in A ball Monday.
________
It’s been a long road for him. I too wish him luck. He deserved a better fate.
Ok—way to go BG
Yay! SB.
A GMR! Way to go!
Yeah, baby!
The Grandy man can!
I think Grandy leads the team in hitting the ball hard
Aggressive –I love it. Go after them
Let’s see this pathetic offense pile it on now!
Tex has been struggling for a little bit??? After today he will be down in the 230s
But keep on defending him Jerkface
That’s why Hughes shouldn’t throw the 12-6 CB, except occasionally. Alex should have crushed that one.
BoJo, do you ever check your email?
Nice hitting, Alex.
Is that all you got?! Cano better do something here!
ARod!!!
Thats how you do it Mark. You take what they give you
AldotheApache June 25th, 2011 at 1:26 pm
BoJo, do you ever check your email?
________
Once a month–whether I need to or not. Will check it now.
Great first inning. Gardner produced run then nice AB by Alex (who is.quietly at .299) now
Arod is red hot.
CO really is an AL team disguised as an NL squad. If we can stay out of our own way and limit the DPs an ddead soldiers on the basepaths, we should win the next two…or 50 for that matter
Anyone else think that, in a parallel universe, Ty W. would have been a great fit for this team?
CC has his good stuff today.
Always liked Ty W.
Hip hip. Nice, going opposite.
Nunez’s good bat speed is negated by his long swing.
Already a big day for Cervelli!
Double steal time!
Man that Cervelli looks like some player….high ceiling!
Cervelli is quieting and slowly climbing his average to 350
I think we need 3 more runs today….
Really sorry to hear Choo broke his thumb…Hand injuries are sometimes tough to come back from right away…
The fans and the day tomorrow will be rather a downer. Not likely that Moose Skowron will be there, but, we can hope. he’s one of the final connections to the ’61 Yanks, along with Ford, Berra, Lopez, Richardson and Kubek. They’re the last of the big names.
BoJo,
Great third round pick for me this year
will ***have*** rather a downer
I think the Grandyman goes deep next inning!

I recall being saddened by the news that IIRC they couldn’t treat it…or perhaps I am confusing with Gary Carter.
Hi everyone,
Did you just lost the signal?
just a singel!

Better luck next time!
Tex!
In old YS (pre 1976), AGon would still be chasing that ball.
Tex ! JEHHHH BABY!
I think it will get ugly for the rockies! FAST
Michael Kay go home?
ARod locked in!
Go Arod!!
Alright ARod—one more run and I’ll feels afe for the game.
Bojo, you’re right. This lineup stinks, no patience, homer-happy.
Alex is limping.
i noticed in his first AB that Arod wasn’t running well
.300 for Alex.!
Alex is hurting- that was not a healthy person jogging to second.
I really hope Arod’s injury/soreness is his legs and has nothing to do with his hip
It’s so nice when this offense is really seeing the ball.
I hope Alex is OK
tomingeorgia June 25th, 2011 at 2:05 pm
Keep it up!
Bojo, you’re right. This lineup stinks, no patience, homer-happy.
____
I hope Arod´s body hold up!
That right there makes me nervous. Normally, when Alex goes on a run of hitting the ball solidly and taking it the other way a lot, a power surge follows. But that limping is a concern.
Alex better be ok…..they gotta have him.
Now I feel bad that Arod is slated to start the ASG. He could really use the days off
RS, I always prefer my guys don’t go, but it’s a nice thing for them.
Yes, gotta have a “healthy” Alex to really have a shot.
Nice slide.
Gutting it out, Alex.
Wow, never would have thought they’d send Arod on that one
Wow.
Never thought Alex was going.
LOL.
I hope we can get a bigger lead and take him out of the game.
Alex really doesn’t know how to take it easy…I didn’t want to see a play at the plate.
Holy Crapola
BTW–Gardenr makes that a double play
Nice, you have to give Arod credit for trying to score there. A lot of batters would of stayed at 3rd.
BTW, Alex was standing on 2B, laughing with Tulo and even gave him a little friendly squeeze on the bicep.
And I thought Alex cared about winning.
Once again the Yanks give CC lots of run support. CC needs to transfer some of those runs to AJ.
Bojo, QFT. Also, going airborne means less running for what it is worth. Good thing he didn’t get hurt there. He was smiling.
Now I feel the game is safe—5 runs.
Arod has looked like that with his lower half for about 3 weeks now. So it’s nothing new but obviously the trainers don’t think a day or 2 off will help. But he can definitely use a day or even a couple of days at DH.
Arod has been a dominant player so far today.
This is the guy we need him to be.
Get AROD out of the lineup! NOW! Than give him an of day tomorrow! 2,5 days of will be great!

DOESN’T HE TAKE THIS GAME SERIOUSLY!?!?!
Rodriguez could use the ASB. Hopefully, he bypasses it for the extra rest.
Captain Clutch, he hasn’t been running as slow as he did out of the batter’s box to first even on his worst day.

Man I hate to see these guys yucking it up, like it’s a game or something.

Btw, no radio or streams of SI games exist.
Custodio is killing it.
Wilt Chamberlain would have caught that.

Update, 2:11: Nice headfirst slide into the plate by Rodriguez to score on Nick Swisher’s shallow fly to left-center.
LMAO!
Why not try Brackman at third?
Nunez can play outstanding defense when he doesn’t have time to think about his feet.
Nasty play by Nunez.

Missed the Nunez play. Describe it, please.
Atta boy, Eduardo.
There you go being an idiot again.
You just can’t help yourselves can you!
Oh wait LMAO!
Backhand in the hole and off.balance throw to 2nd.for the force…..
That´s the way! i like nunez bat! Hope we keep him!
he hasn’t been running as slow as he did out of the batter’s box to first even on his worst day.
——-
He wasn’t that slow but he wasn’t running as well as he usually does and you could tell that something was going on. Hopefully the Yanks tack on a couple of more runs so they can rest him for the rest of the game.

Thanks, YankeeFem. I watched part of the SI feed last night.
I know very little if anything about Custodio, but, he’s running well, too. Today was Adams’ first back to back games, by the way.

Here is how John Sterling called it:
“And you and you r family can be safe at home with —oh, nUnez throws to first, and he’s out…But you don’t don’t have to feel left out when you sign up for All State Insurance. All-State–safe at home.”
Thanks, Blake. lol, Bojo.
GB, SI game was also televised last night???
That Cervelli is going to be some player!
Yankfem, Nunez play was similar to Culver’s backhand play in Brooklyn moving to his right except Culver had to pivot and try to get the ball to 1B. That told me he had some range. We’ve known that about Nuney for a while.
Nunez with the hit.
Let’s score here so ARod can get some rest.
Bojo,
But that Swisher is washed up.
I guess swinging at the 1st pitch isn’t for Gardner…

I’d love to see CC go 9 today.

Didn’t Claudio come up as a SS?

Was just kidding…he was talking about something else, but I don’t recall what he actually said. He tries no to let the game interfere with his stories and observations…but I love him anyway.
LOL, Bojo. You do get fond of people, regardless.
Come on CC!!!
Sterling now talking about Johnson and Nats–Interesting that Johnson will be soon managing Harper in RF and Strasburg as Ace…sort of like Straw and Doc.
Of course, unless you are really paying attention to other sources, you might not know that there is a runner on third.
LOL at Rivers.
J. Alfred Prufrock June 25th, 2011 at 2:34 pm

I’ve been listening to him since he came over in the 90s…close to 20 years. Like an old friend. I listen everyday even when TV is on.
Think I’ll cut the grass and put Sterling on the headphones. I can always run the DVR back and see what REALLY happened later.
Yeah, YankeeFem, this is only about the third time that I’ve seen SI televise a game on MiLB.

Bojo, same here. & I do admit a weakness for “th-uuuuuuh pitch.” You’re making me nostalgic enough to go get the grass over with. Despite the spirit friends who pop in and out of this old house, the grass won’t cut itself – even the quantum world has it’s limits.

————-
Minus the pipe.
This Rockies pitcher seems to be settling in…glad we got to him early. CC should be able to make it stand.
A secong lefty starter would be awesome
CC has to limit the damage here. Tulo has had good at bats both times up.
GB, I can’t find a scouting report. However, I guess they are playing Custodio at 2B this season. Last year he came off an arm injury, but was said to be a pretty decent SS. Not sure if the arm factored into the move to 2B or not. He is a good hitter who has some pop, although they have been shortening up his swing because he gets homerun happy. He stole 14 bases last year. Tyanks may have some video of him on her blog.
I will have to add back milb. I was going monthly and cancelled it after yet another feed where I could barely make out the SWB players on the field at PNC Park.
Prufrock, I think he is playing 2B as per above. However, GCL was raving about his SS D, so not sure if the arm is a factor or not.
Yes, recall the Cito play, which was a nice one–at least in that he got to that ball.
C!
WOW is CC dealing today!
CC is a beast
Above should read, GCL *manager* was raving
blake, the word beast was invented by CC.
Nickalicious es en fuego.
Trade for gio gonzalez.
Hip hip!
Hip Hip Jorge!!!
“Trade for gio gonzalez.”
With who?
I think that when players are going to score so easily (like Swisher there), they should take the opportunity to style…I would like to see some moon-awalking, perhaps a front flip, a foward roll, Rockettes dancing…something!
It’s nice to see Swish and Posada hitting now

Very slowly….

Slowely as in glacial pace.
NEW YORK — Rockies manager Jim Tracy deemed Major Leagues saves leader Huston Street off limits for Saturday’s game. Street felt tightness in his right groin after securing his 23rd save in Friday night’s 4-2 victory over the Yankees.
Street, who has a career 0.64 ERA against the Yankees and has converted 4-of-5 save chances, said he reported the tightness after Friday night’s game and still felt less than healthy after playing catch with head athletic trainer Keith Dugger on Saturday morning.
Tracy said he would determine which pitcher to use in the ninth inning by matchups. With Thursday’s day off and the fact the Rockies used only Street and left-hander Matt Reynolds on Friday, there were plenty of relievers at Tracy’s disposal.
I’m still laughing at Swish doing a Rockette impersonation down the 3rd base line.
He does have the smile part down pat.
BTW–GB7–you were lisitng some beautiful women of the movies in your youth the other day…
I’d match up Rachel Ward against any of them.

Agree.
Looks like we are on our own.
Just wing it this year & call up ban & betances next year.
Hopefully between ban,betances,hughes,nova,warren,phelps,mitchell,noesi,stoneburner,we can get an ace or two.
I see us going after cj wilson in the offseason.
Think he is a fa.
Lefty,strikes out plenty.
ron June 25th, 2011 at 3:25 pm
Ron–I posted this earlier–
BoJo June 25th, 2011 at 1:06 pm
The talk of Hughes versus Nova and who is a prospect etc is really secondary to the good news that Cashman’s plan to cultivate pitching depth is working. It doesn’t matter much in the big scheme if Hughes or Nova go to the pen for half a season and it slows their development….they are both just part of the corps of young arms meant to stop the need to rely on retreads. We will soon have SIX starters who are worthy of the rotation, as opposed to many clubs that have maybe 3.
If putting a Hughes or Nova in the pen slows their growth, so what? Noesi, Betances, Banuelos, Warren, etc are all coming…and all the parts are interchangable.
The point above is that I think Cashman has his starters figured out, and also his bullpen for the most part–and the parts are coming from the Yankees system–not from outside.
The only thing he hasn’t developed internally is a second Lefty out of the pen…and perhaps Banuelos fills that role later this year…if he can’t land a suitable one via trade or waiver.
I think Cano had a late night last night…..
I am surprised that Pena isn’t running for Arod. They should definitely get him out of this game instead of making him run the bases here….
Ahh—Nunez just killed Cervelli’s chance to get another grand slam. DARN!
Yanks aren’t doing well. They’ve stopped hitting home runs.
GB–
Rachel Ward–see above.
Valerie Perrine over Ward.
If Pena was going to come in for defense why not run for Arod?? Girardi is a little slow today…
I was just looking at Alex’s numbers and he has a reverse split again this year. He’s hitting. .305 with a .968 OPS against RHP this year. He’s not struggling against lefties or.anything but considering he’s destroyed them in his career its kinda weird. He’s quietly having a great season.
Very odd. If Arod is going to come out of the game anyway, why not pinch-run for him from the get-go?
GreenBeret7 June 25th, 2011 at 3:38 pm
Valerie Perrine over Ward.

That’s a good one!
Ursula Andress, if you lie them big-boned.

It’s nice to see the Rockies manager give up on the game
Good to see CC missing some bats.
Fairly civil, today, folks. Nice change.
Back in the early ’60s, Pamela Tiffin. Yvonne Craig (TV’s Batgirl), Sherry Jackson.
Considering CC didn’t get his first win until his 5th start…..being the first to 10 wins would be impressive.

I can change that if you’re getting scared, Tom.
Tracy should take out Giambi. He has to get ready for old timers day tomorrow. He would be a good DH for the game..
If Tex had gone to 2nd for the out CC would have come out of the inning with a shutout as the next hitter gounded out to 2nd which would have been a double play to end the 8th.
I’m surprised Tex opted to get the out at 1st instead of the runner at 2nd first, that’s a tough double play for any first baseman to go to first for the out and to get the runner at 2nd.
“Fairly civil, today, folks. Nice change.”
Yanks are winning big and the trolls are at Chuckey Cheese….
GB7,
I know you could, but the ones you spar with don’t seem to be here.

Cashman tried kennedy & hughes in the rotation at the same time & it left a bad taste in his mouth,if you will.
We are never going to have 3 kids in our rotation at the same time,unless injuries force it,probably not even 2.
Next year we have cc & burnett that are guarantees,maybe hughes & nova.
The only way i see cashman going with both hughes & nova or hughes & ban,etc… is if we can get a solid # 2 starter.
I can see us signing cj wilson & trading for a starter in the offseason.
We can’t keep everybody.
I can see leaving the # 5 spot open for audition & maybe the # 4 spot,if the performance is there but imo cashman will not go with 1 ace,2 question marks at 2 & 3 & 2 kids at # 4 & 5.
I can see keeping montero,banuelos,betances,but we aren’t going to have 10 pitchers fighting for 3 rotation spots,with cc as the ace & a very unstable burnett.
In 2012,the only pitcher that cashman will trust is cc & he will opt out,wich is another issue alltogether.
There was a pretty little blonde that did mostlt Europian films in the ’60s named Barbara Bouchet. If you’ve seen John Wayne’s “In harm’s Way”, she was the little beauty at the start of the film, dancing at poolside on December 6th, 1941.

Good morning everyone. Looks like a nice little game going on here.
Is it sad that I listen to the crowd more than Sterling on “homerun” calls?
Tom, they just gotta find more ways to score besides singles.
Jean Simmons too
It’s not over; Buddy’s in there.
See what I mean?
Good job Caryle….Let me guess Mo will start warming up. It never fails when somone else starts the 9th inning
Raquel Welch
Mother Of Mercy!!! Is this the end of Kitty?
Two more runs and it’s a save for Mo.
Feeling mighty grateful for Tex’s 2-run HR last inning. :/
Can someone kick Buddy Carlyle out of this game and off the roster please?
GB7,
“Kitty” of Whats My Line?
Buddy is punchin his ticket back to Scranton
It’s time for Carlyle to find his suitcase and the next train to Scranton
Buddy….please don’t make Robertson or Rivera have to come into this game

Yep. Our dauntless pitcher, Kitty (Buddy) Carlyle.
What’s with all the old hotties?
Did anyone mention Kim Novak?
I can’t believe that Girardi has Mo warming up. I would wait for that until it’s at least 8-5.
Simple question, why is a guy who can’t get batters out in AAA pitching in NY?
This is on the FO, they seem to prefer to bring in garbage than just the prospects.
Ball game over. Theee Yankees win! Theee Yankees win!

MTU sent you an E-mail, did you answer him?
I always loved Lesley Ann Warren in her youth–very under-rated
just > S/B trust
Buddy is just there for mop up duty…..they don’t want to waste anybody good on that role….they would rather them pitch.
put that one on the left side, lol, pathetic.

Nice but a little heavy for my tastes.

Watch the team put Buddy on the DL with “a bad arm.” Not that it hurts or anything, it is just bad.
No, no, no, no…..

Tomorrow is another day, another game, another win–we take the series.
Good night everybody! Enjoy the evening!
Leslie Ann Warren is on the USA drama “In Plain Sight”. I didn’t even recognize her. She looks good. Just old.
Watch “Les Girls” with Gene Kelly and Syd Charise if you want to see some legs.
“In my own little corner in my own little room I can be whatever I want to be…”
Joe G. said the soreness is in Alex’s knee.
Maybe old friend Jeff Karstens can beat Wakefield and the Sux tonight.

Sorry…Gene isn’t my type. NTTIAWWTT
yes tom, Syd had great legs. Great dancer, too.
Two others are Barbara Parkins (Valley Of The Dolls) and Victoria Principal
How about Wonder Woman?
I’m tellin you, Linda Harrison.
meh
There was one lady who was a Bond girl in the late 90′s. Jacqueline Bissett?
Parkins, Principal, Carter, and Harrison all hot. Didn’t know Harrison before…good call!
Bojo,
I wasn’t talking about Gene Kelly. What is NTTIAWWTT?
…and my best girl, Natalie Wood. No one comes close.
JAP,
Natalie Wood, really fine.

Not bad in “West Side Story” as Maria, either.

Bojo, thanks.
Have to run–see ya!

She was great. I loved how fiery she got when she stood up to everyone in the end. Her spanish accent was charming, as was her twang in “Condemned.”
Hate what happened to her. A real beauty.
GRACE KELLY,
Gene tierney, Liz taylor
Nicky’s ABs have been really promising lately. Hope he keeps it up. The Gardner bunt was a good sign also.
Hope Karstens has his curve tonight.
Wish I could run like Bojo.
Notes on Jeter’s rehab and Hughes’ latest outing.
http://mlb.mlb.com/news/articl.....um=twitter
Tierney was a beaut. Jennifer Jones was another cutie. Liz never did anything for me. I did like her in Hot Tin though & I thought she was as good as Burton in Virginia Woolf. But she never really did much for my blood.
C is God.
Veronica Lake, with the bangs.
How do ppl feel about Hughes and his progress?
Bacall in To Have & Have Not.
Just hope for the best. Don’t expect anything, but they’ll put him back as an SP sooner or later.
Bacall: just whistle
AAO,
I think it’s difficult to say. He got through the first 2 innings with little problem. He was sitting 91-91, hitting 94. That part is good. Threw more cutters this time, but he had a “kneebuckling” curveball the first outing.
Would have liked more length, but not making any judgements yet.
Natalie Wood -Yes sir!
Does anybody else watch Headline News in the morning— and not pay attention to the News at all?
I just traded sanchez,nolasco,uggla for greinke in my fantasy league.
I guess it was good timing since sanchez is on the dl.
Uggla has been terrible & greinke will get a lot of wins with that brewers offense & he strikes out a ton,walks almost nobody.

I don’t like the fact that he’s still cutter happy.
Hughes being a strikeout pitcher,for the most part is going to throw a lot of pitches unless he mixes some effective offspeed pitches in to get weak contact & to change speeds,keep hitters guessing.
To many stressfull innings.
I’d like to see him cut down his fb usage to around 55-65 %.
Let his defense work for him while developing his offspeed pitches in the # 5 spot where the yankees won’t rely on him as much as they would in the 2-4 spot in the rotation.
He just has to start throwing his cb & cu more & deal with the results.
If he can’t do it,trade him or put him in the pen.
Scratch 1 left handed starter from the acquisition list. John Danks pulled after 1.2 innings with a hip injury.
Definitely cheering for Karstens tonight. I noticed that Jose Tabata is leading off. His avg, homeruns as of yesterday looked close to those of Gardner’s.
I felt so guilty the other day. Upon hearing a story of a baby taken from a pregnant mother, my second thought was of Tabata’s wife. Whatever became of that? I mean she basically stole someone’s child, right?
Igawa to promoted to Little New York (Scranton) and Melky Mesa isplaying again, rehabbing in tampa.
GB
I was so excited to see that Melky was playing. He was at the game in the stands the other night and he told us he wasn’t going to do a rehab start here. I’m glad he is though.

ha, while you were taking golf lessons in south east asia, i was an extra( with 1000 others) in “hello dolly” with streisand and gene kelly directing. he didn’t like me and my friends though . we kept trying to get in the front row in the big parade scenes and once they started rolling the parade they couldn’t stop filming so we’d sneak in the front row. security kept trying to catch us , and finally they didn’t let us in after five days. they had posters with our photos at the gates where they let the extras in.
i think the final straw was when one of my friends went up to barbara and put his arm around her and had me take a photo. she thought it was funny, but kelly got ticked off. it also didn’t help that we kept having laughing fits at walter matthau because he couldn’t march for crap when kelly kept trying to show him a simple march step.
we probably would have lasted longer if we wouldn’t have been smoking the funny stuff in the fake park. my hollywood career came to an abrupt end.
