“Rivera had saves on June 1, 2, 3 and 4 in 2004″
Torre sowing the seeds of disaster?
LMAO!!!
1-0 Jays already thanks to a few hits and a bb off Slackey
Here’s another random Rivera fact. God gave him the cutter. He said so. Who are we to argue!
2-0 LOL
Whoa, thought the Sux loss was tonight! Thanks for the heads up. Gotta tune in.
Has Lackey cursed at one.of his infielders yet?
In the chat….Chad seemed to.think the Yankees would make a major play for CJ Wilson…..short term he’d help a lot….its just the longterm Id be uneasy about.
Erin – We’ve had some pretty good exchanges here on the blog but I think the both of us assuming the other would use the handle “Chads Girls” to get his attention might be ranked #1.
I would have guessed Shame
Blake-
Not interested in CJ,TJ,PJ,BJ or RJ Wilson.
That should cover it.
Mike just blew PEDroia for hitting the ball off the wall… Its too bad it was actually Scootero
Anyone thing that Soriano will opt out after this year?
At this point I think he would be crazy to.

———————————-
Not a chance… The way he has pitched this year he is certainly not getting this kinda money elsewhere
If God was a “True Yankee” fan, he would smite that idiot from California in the computer and show true mercy to the world.
Hi everyone,
Spudz,
i think the chances of an asteroid hitting the earth are better than soriano optingout,
“Mike just blew PEDroia for hitting the ball off the wall… Its too bad it was actually Scootero”
LOL
… and if Bronson Arroyo were to miracuously come out of the BP and help Boston win today, his man crush fix will be complete.
Lol, thanks kate! Whats more amusing is when I saw it was plural, “Chad’s GirlS,” I thought perhaps you and Erin discussed which question you’d like to ask today lol!
Has Lackey cursed at one.of his infielders yet?

not watching, but I’m sure by now he’s struck one of those ugliest of all-time, gaping-mouth, if-looks-could-kill reproachful faces at one of them we’re so accustomed to seeing…
I think the Yankees would sign Wilson over pursuing Yu. They might put a bid in, but I don’t think they’ll go into Matsuzaka posting fee type of minefield.
I doubt Soriano opts out. But he needs to get comfortable pitching in the 7th and 8th.
um, that’s BRAN-don Arroyo, no?
/ARodded
JAP,
The sux are down 0-2, so probably he has already stared to fielders a couple of times already
“If God was a “True Yankee” fan, he would smite that idiot from California in the computer and show true mercy to the world.”
I’m thinking that the reason He isn’t doing that is because He feels that WCSF needs to atone for his faux rooting and the way that’s going to happen is for the rest of us to watch WCSF’s Suxers go down the drain and watch WCSF absolutely disintegrate. And the only way that can happen is through the advanced technology known as the computer.
Just a thought.
Geeze, the Jays aren’t looking too spiffy in the field!
luis, that’s nothing in Fenway, but with Lackey on the mound, they’ll probably pile on….Francesa just said Blowsux have runners at 1st & 3rd with nobody out against Romero…
I’m in the car, so I’m jumping back and forth between Stupid and that shriller idiot on ESPN…at least Lupica is bowing down to His Mo-ness, as all should…but that voice…
Lavarnway infield RBI single!!!!… He is the next Manny Ramirez
JAP, very strange stuff happening. Romero with wild pitches, Jays with errors in the field. Hope they pull it together because I hate to see gift runs go in the direction of the Suxers.
But then again we can always count on Lackey to give the gift runs right back, and add even more.
Later y’all.
I’m still curious why anybody would go to an Angels-Yankees game and buy two tickets for himself, one behind the first base dugout and one behind the plate. Does anybody else smell BS coming from the west coast?
Shame-yes, I would agree. That was too funny.
BTW-did anybody come forward? I want to know who “Chad’s Girls” was!!!
Tied game, the errors are coming back to bite the jays
“I’m still curious why anybody would go to an Angels-Yankees game and buy two tickets for himself, one behind the first base dugout and one behind the plate. Does anybody else smell BS coming from the west coast?”
Um, yes.
I think Chad’s curious about that too, Erin? Chad’s got groupies.
Sox tied it up……but Lackey is still pitching.

If he existed, I might worry.
I’m actually upset that Mariano doesn’t have as many postseason saves as the next three guys combined.
But that should change this season.

Pathetic.
LMaO. Ortiz was nominated for Clemente award for Boston. did he donate some steroids to needy team mates?

///
Well, that’s not really fair, because as Yankee Trader will confirm, he’s two hitters in one: he does it the Lavern&Shirleyway….
By the way, I don’t remember who it was, but some “objective scout” recently said L&S had the edge as a power guy over Montero….
Lavern&Shirleyway: .375 slug/.768 OPS (28 PA)
Jesus Montero, Superstar: .667/1.078 (34 PA)
I guess those three years he has on Jesus account for the difference

Considering most scouts werent impressed when the yanks drafted him, it’s good to hear people outside of the organization speak highly of his season:
BenBadler Ben Badler
Yankees 3B Dante Bichette named MVP of the GCL. Been getting rave reviews around the league on him
BenBadler Ben Badler
Not an overhaul, but they tweaked some things RT @SirSHERM I know its the GCL and all, but did he over haul his swing/approach
My buddy and I were convinced we had hooked a world record largemouth bass during our last fishing trip.
You can imagine our disappointment when they informed us that it was actually just John Lackey.

Yea, they just updated me that it’s 2-2 (or was). That’s not good. But we have faith in the One Who Is Lacking to cough it right back away
.
I wouldn’t be shocked if Soriano opts out at all.
He only has $ 25 M guaranteed after this year and could probably top that… and the man HATES his new role.
I see him as a nice trade candidate if he does not opt out… high salary, but no long term commitment… and when right he’s a helluva closer

HE??
Keep your sexist, misogynistic fantasies to yourself, why don’t you.
Interesting comments from Chad on the Live Chat. He seems to agree with me 100%.
************************
Question: “How committed to Phil Hughes do you think Cashman is going forward in 2012?”
Chad: “I think the Yankees are fully committed to Hughes. His trade value is low, but his upside is still awfully high. No reason to back away from him now.”
*************************
Question: “Do you see any way the Yankees will look at Joba as a starter again – or has that ship sailed long ago and forever?”
Chad: “That ship sailed. Definitely.”

My new general policy is what “Most scouts” say, assume the opposite until first-hand information becomes available
Oooooh….a real beat writer agrees with you, that must make it so….
Your irrational, passive aggressive and gratuitous hatred of Chamberlain is ironic, considering how you ride a certain poster here for castigating Hughes… neither deserves either of your respective, clueless tripe.
Lupica is so stupid. They play the first chords of Enter Sandman and says ‘see, that’s manly man’s music…” too bad Rivera had nothing to do with it and doesn’t listen to Metallica…he listens to Christian Rock…
he we go with the beef….

********************
Unfortunately for your inane and absurd contention, I have no hatred for Hughes I like the guy. I just think he clearly did not have the skillset and makeup to be a starter and the Yankee organization happens to agree with that position. They do not see Hughes that way.
And I am sorry you think so poorly of Chad, considering what great insight and exposure he has to the Yankee players and management.
I don’t think there is any way Soriano would get 25 million bucks on the open market…..there are a ton of closers available this winter and Soriano has stunk all year.
russellmartin55 RT @PhilHughes65 You just had to steal his thunder and gun down Ichiro for the final out huh? | #55 There is no thunder without lightning!
blake that’s nonsense
he’s had four lousy outings — 3 2/3 innings, 11 ER = 26.99 ERA
his other 31 outings — 28 2/3, 4 ER = 1.26 ERA
And he’s better than most of the guys hitting the market
86,
He’s not better than Papelbon…..he’s not better than Heath Bell….who is going to give him a better contract than the one he has?…..I don’t see anybody. He’s been shaky most outings whether he’s given up a run or not and on top of that he was hurt half the year…….
Believe me…Id love for him to opt out….but that’s wishful thinking
Erin, love the tweets, gotta love that Russell Martin.
When I was out at lunch time listening to the Kevin and Jim show, they were very complimentary regarding Martin’s skills, especially catching AJ.
Soriano is as likely to opt out and give up $30M as I am to be one of the starters next year.
I do like Wilson, but I still believe he will re-up with the Rangers. They don’t let their pitchers go easily as we likely remember. It will take, I bet, a far bigger number than the Rangers offer to get hm to move. He likes it there, and isn’t a east coast guy.
I still think he is a big time talent… I suspect someone else does too.
I agree Papelbon is better… Bell about the same if you look at 2009-10 but Bell is also older and has similar numbers in baseball’s weakest division.
Bell wasn’t hurt half the season either…..that’s always been one of the things with Soriano. His value isn’t anywhere close to where it was last winter. His best plan is to pitch great the rest of this year and next and then opt out……

lol, I didn’t see this. He does look like a fish in state of shock when a ball gets booted behind him…
Romero hanging in there, just do it until Toronto offense remembers whom they are facing…
anyone else noticin CC is havin a better yr this yr than last yr?
Lackey getting really lucky….103 pitches through 5.
Not watching but Lackey had a 10-pitch or so showdown with Lind and I don’t know how it resolved, but I see he got out of it somehow. Too bad, Bautista was on…
Just hold it right there, Romero.
Lackey hits Lawrie to put leadoff on…at 108 pitches…middle relief not far off…
They have 1st and 3rd with 1 out and line out to LF that was hit too hard to score the run and hard ground out to 1st base.
Lol….lawrie stole 2nd and the throw went into CF and Lackey threw his arms up and threw a mini hissy fit.

Hilarious analogy, especially as he’s about to get the hook!
I see J Puke can’t handle an opinion other than his own……..
It would be a classy gesture (as only the Yankees can do) to have Jorge come out of the dugout in catching gear and be announced as the catcher for the final batter to give Mariano the record.
I’m sure there would be no objection from Russell Martin, Jesus Montero, or Austin Romine if this were to happen seeing as Jorge caught the majority of saves for all the years they were together.
It would probably bring the house down at the Stadium to see it.
For Shame, for I know how much you hate the Mets
AnthonyMcCarron Braves victory this afternoon means Mets are officially eliminated from playoff race. Oh, they were still in it?
Betsy, I would hope that J Puke is that hatched entity from the west coast (if that’s even true) and not J Alfred since J Alfred took up for you up above and castigated the hatched entity.
Joba will start again at some point. Remember you read it here.
Trisha, no he did not- and if you read that post again, you will see that he referred to me in equally derogatory terms.
New Post: Yankees announce preliminary 2012 schedule
Oh sorry. I read it wrong.
Amazing that in his short stay, Chien Ming Wang was so effective that he is one of the top saved by Mo.
I miss Wang. Such an easy guy to root for.
