CC Sabathia has been named American League Pitcher of the Month for July, going 4-1 with a 0.92 ERA in the month. He had 50 strikeouts, 13 walks, two complete games and a shutout in 39 innings.
Brett Gardner LF
Derek Jeter SS
Curtis Granderson CF
Mark Teixeira 1B
Robinson Cano 2B
Nick Swisher RF
Eric Chavez 3B
Jorge Posada DH
Russell Martin C
Jorge batting eighth. I feel another temper tantrum coming on.
I think its difficult to quantify….but I think Rothschild has definitely been a positive and I agree with what LGY said regarding CC….he’s noticeably going after Ks more this year. I just like his style better……miss bats and power pitch, that’s what wins in postseason play. Also ….AJ has been much better this year…..the numbers may not bear it out but he’s given them.a chance to win in almost every start…..how many were over by the 2nd inning last year? His K rate is up and his swing and miss % is also up and he’s almost already matched his number of 5+ inning starts from last season.
Rothschild has been a big success IMO
Well deserved for CC.
Rumor has it Russell Martin is refusing to play.
CC could get pitcher of the month for aug and sept, verlander will still win the Cy.
Thank god, change of topic! Chad, you timing is impeccable.
This lineup is going to look even that much deeper when A-Rod and Montero are in it.
bruceb – let us know when that gets funny.
So did LaRussa file an official protest then? I know they were complaining about the lighting last night…
Wonder if Paul Konerko playing tonight?
The poker game would only be illegal because the government is not getting their hands on some of it via a taxed casino, so I don’t give a damn.
YT – Read earlier that Konerko’s already out of the lineup.
Remember earlier this year when Uggla was stinking up the NL East?
He apparently has a 25 game hit streak now.
LaTroy hawkins is driving LaRussa crazy. LaRussa is complaining to the umpires that Hawkins is quick-pitching his batters. The batters are sey in the batters box and Hawkins is pitching from the stretch and not stopping for 1 second. LaRussa forgot that Hawkins doesn’t have to stop when no runners are on base. He just froze his pinch hitter on strike 3. He’s going to bust a blood vessel.

Has any of this been blamed on Colby Rasmus yet?

“we can all be condescending.”
“But the Dos Equiss crowd thinks otherwise as it is popular opinion to ignore facts when coming to an opinion, esp an unpopular one.”
mick, I’m trying to understand the source of your grievance. You seem to be particulary upset about Dos Equiss [sick!!], In-N-Out Burger, and gelato — or the people on here who talk/joke about them and/or consume them. Do you think these types of people aren’t properly respectful of something?

It hasn’t been officially released yet, but the Milwaukee “fan” that was taunting ToLaRu last night about hoping he gets shingles again is Tony Rasmus.
who’s got gelato? I want some!
Erin,
And a couple of Dos Equis!

Haha, I also hear Mr. Rasmus also got a job as the Miller Park electrician 2 weeks ago… At least Edwin Jackson has been money.
Jackson was money until today. 10 runs in 7 innings.
Mick, here’s a twitter account you may like:

14 hits too. I actually went to his first start against the Cubs. His results were good ( 7 innings, 1 run) but he really didn’t throw the ball well. Had men on every inning but got out of it because he was facing the Cubs. Free agent at the end of the year too with Boras as his agent…
You are all the most interesting men & women I know.
I hope you all stay thirsty!
Mick likes that old Gene Autry song, “Twitter-O-Twill”.
I don’t drink or eat anything that is advertised, only what I find organically.
jerkface – what if you find a twizzler?
As long as its not in any packaging it should be fine. I was so hungry yesterday but someone left a sandwich on a bench so i ate it.

Maybe mick got banned from the “Dos Equis, In-N-Out Burger, and Gelato Enthusiasts” Message Board for excessive negativity???
Organic Twizzler?
Why didn’t Bud Selig suspend Mike Leake for shoplifting? That kind of craven thief is likely to stoop to throwing games for money.

The food need not be organic, only the method through which I come upon it.
I would trade the 5 guys that just opened here for an in-n-out… :/
Nothing like In-n-Out…. I was born in Vegas and every time we go back we’ve got to have that at least 5 times on the trip haha. I like 5 guys here in STL but there is still nothing like In-n-Out…
Several online sports sites are reporting that
Bud Selig fell down and he can’t get up.
Prime suspect is a 6 foot tall, brown skin, cropped hair, with a slight limp and
a ’09 WS ring
News at 11
An In-N-Out burger with a cold Dos Equis and some gelato for dessert sounds like a great dinner.
Oh Noeez! I’m a victim of the advertising
Any baseball player who ever made an airplane bet, golf course bet, hotel bet, or any other type of bet ought to be investigated by Bud Selig. Which is to say, all of them, most likely.
I have a dinner date with In-N-Out this evening.
Thanks for reminding me.
Attn all In-N-Out fanatics here:
I’m taking suggestions on what to order.
Let me hear ya
ten by ten animal style
Beltran looks like he is going to be just fine in SF. Especially once he settles in more. Good player.
A-rod is an idiot for jeopardizing himself and the Yankees. How bad is his gambling addiction that he needs to engage in this, even after being warned by MLB? The only silver lining to this cloud is that maybe the Yanks will be able to get out from under his ridiculous contract.
“The food need not be organic, only the method through which I come upon it.”
So a bag of Cheetos and a Slurpee is OK as long as you walk to the convenience store to get it.
WTP,
Make sure to tweet what you end up getting.
Who saw the HBO Jeter doc.?
Wasn’t that a blue felt poker table in his apt?

I don’t tweet!!!
Niblick,
Arrgggh!! Are you a Yankee fan?? Alex hater!!
You draw to the curtain and one thing’s for certain
You’re cozy in your little room
The carpet’s all paid for God bless the TV
Let’s go shoot a hole in the moon
And Roy Rogers is riding tonight
Returning to our silver screens
Comic book characters never grow old
Evergreen heroes whose stories were told
Oh the great sequin cowboy who sings of the plains
Of roundups and rustlers and home on the range
Turn on the TV, shut out the lights Roy Rogers is riding tonight
Nine o’clock mornings, five o’clock evenings
I’d liven the pace if I could
Oh I’d rather have a ham in my sandwich than cheese
But complaining wouldn’t do any good
=============================
Nice song.
How gullible are people that over-react to 2 month old stories dug up by a bored ESPN writer?
BJ – yes. jeter is obviously now suspect.
Cheeseburger Cheeseburger, FTW
This is not analysis from a lawyer, but this piece quotes the various relevant in play in California.
Under this, if the host was not taking money for operating the game, it was not even illegal.
This would seem to have no legs.
Everyone is a little on edge, what with the impending ape invention.
They will not appreciate you getting your In-N-Out burger animal style.

mick….With all due respect, there is nothing on this planet that rivals an In-N-Out double double…….And I’m a native NY’er
Doogie Howser likes White Castle, and he’s a doctor.
My stomach told me about Whiteys.
I’m a Shake Shack fan because they allow me to come to an informed decision about my burger selection without the undue influence of the evil advertisers.
Oh and the burgers are awesome.
Really where is Betty, I am worried about her.
“White Castle Rules.”
The Dos Equis of burgers….
==================
Whiteys is the antithesis of Dos Equis, the poorman’s burger.
Hughes pitched a good game and her head exploded?
I know Rodriguez has money, but in order for him to be playing a ball game at night, flying to the West Coast and flying back to play another game. he’d have to own an SR-71 Blackbird
Shake Shack also gets bonus points for not serving Dos Equis amongst their beer choices.
Comic book characters never grow old

Peanut butter pretzel ice cream?
I am sure that this ARod stuff is a nothing-burger but how is playing in “the Beverly Hills mansion of a record producer” the same as playing in an underground poker club? And by the way, doesn’t the phrase “underground poker club” remind you of Guys and Dolls?
as a native new yorker who has lived in northern california for several years, i can say without hesitation that in n out is the best burger joint in the nation. nothing is even close.
Was Arod humming “Let Luck Be A Somewhat Masculine Looking Lady Tonight” before the poker game?
arod likes masculine ladies?

I think Burger Joint is the best burger joint in the nation but there could be a better one in Omaha, Nebraska and I wouldn’t even know. It’s a hamburger. Pretty hard to screw up.
you guys are in rare form this afternoon
I’d like to have a Dos Equis with some of you, not all…
Five Guys makes a pretty mean burger.
“Five Guys makes a pretty mean burger.”
You know, I went to one of these for the first time very recently and I have to say that I was a little disappointed. I had heard so many good things about the place. I guess I had built it up in mind to a point where it could never live up to it.
The fries are better than the burgers at 5-guys. They aren’t bad, just not enough to stand out over any random diner in NY.
SkullSplitter Beer seems to fit this crowd:
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-U7Dd.....medbq4.jpg
Five Guys is more-so known for their fantastic home made and always fresh picked potato Cajun Fries. Their burgers are OK, but their definitely known for those fries.
Laura-
Great fries too.
Maybe it’s like our prospects. Too much hype.
How about MLB suspending those players that got arrested for DUIs? That can’t be good for the game.
Red Robin is a good burger.
Nathan’s has the best fries. Well done.
“Maybe it’s like our prospects. Too much hype.”
Tell me about it. I feel sorry for Montero and he hasn’t even played yet. No way he can live up to the hype.
Tom-
How can a Robin be a burger ?
Do they pluck it first ?

They are the original. Where fries began.
how many more hours will pass until
LaRussa, Yadier Molina and that pitcher are suspended
for their actions during the brewers game last night??
15 birds per burger!
mick…..Quoted The Kinks….Very cool
I have to admit they tasted better in my youth.
Maybe it was the extra grease.

NYY is asking Betances to throw more fastballs. So what I noticed is correct. He is throwing more. Doing it to improve FB command.

Outstanding stuff from Betances. Said the Yanks had been shooting for 150 innings out of him. Interesting.
2 BIG MACS, mickey d’s fries a smirnoff ice and some peanut m n m’s. Whos with me!!
Tom-
Wildlife service will be after them soon.

They just opened one up where i live. Didnt know it was a famous food chain. Not impressed. In and Out beats it by a mile.
Red Robbins steak fries arent bad.
Looks like everybody went out to eat…

It had better be special if it take five guys to make a damned hamburger.
GB-
Keeps people employed. Think of it that way.
So, I go away for a few hours, and what have I missed? Looks like -
1. Some people like In -N -Out burgers, and some take offense to this.’
2. Alex likes to play poker with celebrities (old story, but I guess it’s a slow day when the Yankees are winning).
3. Tony LaRussa is a needs to relax
It must mean that Phil Hughes did really well last night.
Did I miss anything?
Cant stomach beer. 2 hangover as a kid did it for me. But M n M’s goes with everything.
Chips and m n ms
Pizza and m n ms
ice cream and m n ms
salad and m n ms
water and m n ms
smirnoff ice and m n ms
Nothing like having the last taste in your mouth and stuck in between your teeth like m n ms.
Dont mess with zohan brushes his teeth with hummos. I with m n ms.
Betances: Felt more consistent and fluid with his delivery last year. He has struggled with his release point and his stride this season. They limited my innings early in the year pulling him from some starts early. The goal was 150, but since he isn’t even at 100 yet he thinks the Yankees will just let him go from here.
He talked to Manny after his start yesterday.

Other than Pat M. can’t wait until tomottow (pool girls), not much.
SoS-
That’s good. I’ll take yours. More for me.
We’d have to fight over the peanut M and M’s though.
I’m addicted to them.
What’s the bigger crime revealed today?
Nick Swisher singing Bowie or Arod snorting coke off the ace of spades ?
I say it’s Swish.
MTU,
Admitting it is half the battle. Im not there yet. In denial. Went from the single pack to the big pack and now looking to upgrade to a family pack. Hands off.
It is downright outrageous that California, Arizona and Texas have In-N-Out but New Mexico does not. They skipped a whole state!
It has been far too long.
How could in-n-out compete with Los Pollos Hermanos?
The Chicken Brothers?
Jack-
Hate to make you feel worse but even my little hometown in Utah has one.
Write a letter to your Senator and complain.
Hughes struggles for 3 months trying to throw over 90mph and can’t figure out why he wasn’t… Betances is throwing 98 and thinks he’s only throwing 92. Life is cruel.
MLB is acting like Alex is doing his impersonation of Rounders. I will only worry when he starts splitting the Oreo cookie in half in the dugout and comes to games with a Burnett ’10 black eye. I wonder if Camaron gives him signs while serving drinks?
SoS-
I have three food weaknesses which are like kryptonite to me:
Peanut M and M’s
NY Bagels
Potato chips
These are deadly.
The rest will just kill me slowly.
Should I just give up and die happy ?
My kingdom for a green chili cheeseburger at Blake’s Lotaburger.

Im thinking of doing something like this on my leg. But it will be of the m n m guys driving through a in and out drive through wearing yankees gear.
Cashman:
On Manny:
He knows Manny well and he was ready to take the next step to AAA. I don’t have any expectations for him necessarily for the major leagues this year. He has pushed himself ahead of schedule for his age.
I don’t think there was anything left for him at Trenton. Wanted to get some AAA games under his belt before the season ended. The gap is closer to the big leagues moving into next year.
The stuff is electric.
On Montero:
This is the part of the year he broke out last year. He took off and had a monster finish. He looked terrific. He turned around a 97 mph. That’s not an easy thing to do. On the defensive side he has come a long way and on the offensive side you would have hoped he followed up with but the ability is there. This is a middle of the lineup guy we believe in the big leagues one day. What he’s done at this level and at his age is rare.
Will he be up this year? It’s possible. He could play in the big leagues in 2011. We’ll see.
No one is untouchable. I had 6 guys who were consistently asked for. We have demonstrated in recent years that we will turn inside before going outside. We rely on our farm system more than we are given credit for. I stood pat at the deadline because I believe in our system.

We have those. They’re alright. Green chile is sort of taken for granted here though.
It is not as good as In-N-Out imo.
Has anyone seen Rich in NJ around ?
He seems to have disappeared. He was a regular contributor.

===============================================
you won’t find a Dos Equi on a bench.
Nick – it seems you are a burger-stand maven.
I am impressed.
I’d be even more impressed if you could tell me how to eat like that and not get fat……
Should I just give up and die happy ?
=========
MTU,
No. Go with reduced fat potato chips and double up on the m n m’s. You only live once. Speaking of potato chips. Did you ever try the bar b que doritos? They were awesome. Must have knows something so good cant be true. They discontinued them. My wife found some at the 99 cent store expired and all and cleared the shelves. Good news no stomach ache. I was eating them like i was in the movie alive. Couple chips a day to get the most out of them.
Ill take a Kobe burger and a slice of banana cream cheesecake from cheesecake factory.
There is a Rich in NJ on RAB
SoS-
Thanks for the advice.
The hiking keeps me alive, or maybe I have it wrong and the hiking will kill me and food keep me alive ?
Oh well. Life’s too damn complicated. As well as being too short.

If it’s the same one he always used to post here.
Guess he got tired of slumming.
