Let’s face it, folks. Not too many people are thinking about baseball tonight. The Super Bowl is the Super Bowl, so unless the Yankees trade away Derek Jeter, they’re probably not getting the headlines tomorrow morning.
Speaking of tomorrow, I’m supposed to take one week off before spring training, so that’ll be starting tomorrow. The Pinch Hitters series will keep running in the mornings, and our friends at The Journal News will be filling in as necessary.
I’ll see you all again for that last week leading into spring training. Maybe we’ll all have some more answers by then. Until then, the a look back at the past week in review.
• Mark Teixeira said he’s focused on getting more base hits left-handed this season, even if that means laying down a few bunts. Not something you hear very often from a middle-of-the-order power hitter.
• Joe Girardi publicly stated that he’d like the Yankees to add a left-handed hitter, specifically discussing Hideki Matsui, Johnny Damon and Raul Ibanez. It’s clear that the Yankees have the space and the desire to add a hitter (or two) but the team seems to be once again staying patient.
• Brian Cashman’s personal life became very public this week, with a woman arrested for stalking the Yankees general manager, then news that Cashman’s wife filed for divorce.
• Kevin Whelan cleared waivers and was assigned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He was DFA to make room for Hiroki Kuroda on the 40-man roster.
• The Yankees signed former Cubs general manger Jim Hendry as a special assignment scout, and also announced a series of front office promotions, including title bumps for Billy Eppler and Jean Afterman.
• Former Red Sox reliever Manny Delcarmen agreed to a minor league deal with the Yankees. He looks like little more than pitching depth at this point, probably a call-up candidate should the Yankees need some middle-inning help.
• There was a report that the Yankees were in “serious talks” with utility man Bill Hall.
• Edwin Jackson finally came off the market, as did Casey Kotchman. The free agent market is getting thinner and thinner with pitchers and catchers reporting in two weeks.

Pats shiny pants are so disgusting!
Befitting a cheating sissy team, headed by frankenstein Belicheat.
Okay, enough good sportsmanship!
Later.
Don’t forget Madonna being asked about A Rod’s supposed art collection.
THAT TOO!
There’s got to be some karma meted out!!
Listen to the boos. They’re hated, and not because they win.
A huge part of it is because they win.
Pitching choices are thinning out for the teams needing them, especially those watching their
pennies. Speaking of Pennys, Brad’s now pitching in Japan. One less option for you know who.
Giants showing total ball control (Pats have had 1 play if my count is right). But if they don’t score it’s not working for them..
Well, there ya go – a payday for all the hard work.
Woot!
“A huge part of it is because they win.”
Uh, wrong. Because, my friend, they haven’t won squat in quite a while. The HUGE part of it is because they are seen as cheats. Hell even people in beantown acknowledge that reality! (that the Pats are hated because they are perceived as cheats)
trish, New England has a pedestrian defense at best.
Their secondary is particularly vulnerable, so Eli will hit guys who’ll break seams all day.
Any way, if NFL officials were at all competent, the Ravens would be the Giants’ opponent today.
J Al, you bet! And it may end up looking like the Pats have a pedestrian offense too!
I’m sorry that Penny won’t be joining the Sox. He blows.
trisha, I have come to realize antipathy for all things Boston is like food to you

—————-
Before 09 the Yankees had not won since 2000 and they were hated more than the Pats.
J Al –
Guilty as charged!
BECAUSE THE YANKS ARE THE WINNINGEST FRANCHISE IN THE HISTORY OF ORGANIZED SPORTS. The Pats were America’s darlings until Spygate. Newcomers who are now despised.
See ya now.
Against All Odds, as I remember you were fawning over the Sux too, all worried they were going to be the bomb for the past few years.
So I think you have some kind of beantown fixation.
Anyway, I’m going to continue to enjoy this game.
Think what you want. It doesn’t change the reality.
Talk to you later J Al.
If tyanks or exiled can get to those GCL games, I’d be grateful for any progress reports on young Miguel Andujar.
Tyanks hasn’t been around for ages, it seems.
Yankeefem, Ravel probably SI-bound due to rehab. But if we blink, we’ll probably miss him. Got to get to a couple games to see that one.

The fan in pete abe is starting to show on his twitter timeline. So much for him being there for journalists purposes. Tubby is probably crying and pouuting like he 5 year old he is in the press box right now.
Cmon Eli!
nah, Odds has the same fixation I do
.
Joba is a stahtin’ pitchah!!!
Niiiice catch.
Flag?
I wish he’d stop trying to bounce outside.
Pruf, SI home opener, June 19th, penciled in.
J Al – you going for the Pats?????
trisha, bite your tongue, young lady!
I’m a Jet fan!
I’m sure I dislike the Pats and that piece of crap Kraft more than even you!
Pruf, SI home opener, June 19th, penciled in.

I’m there. If I can steal the car keys
.
Ohhhhhhh.
torn ACL. That’s a damn shame.
That’s the way to use Bradshaw. Run him inside and have him catch and run. He’s not going to bounce out well against them.
The unders at 54 looking good….

There’s my man Manningham…
Great punt.
Pruf, we are inheriting most of the GCL Yankees at SI. In 2011, they hit .298/.378/.466/.843.
We’ll likely see Rosario, Tejeda, Custodio among others in addition to Ravel… Maybe we get Camarena.
Nice punt again.
Weatherford is the MVP of this game so far……
“Fixated no but I thought that ppl were expecting the Red Sox to just roll over and die.”
That’s fair – even though that’s exactly what they did!

I well know that. When it comes to this exasperating issue, I take down license plate numbers. Bojo, wheresome’er he has flown to, and Yankeefem, are also in the club.
Jerkface, Rich in NJ, too.
Pat M – what does it mean that “the unders at 54 look good”? That the loser is picked to lose by 4 points or more?
JPP no slouch either….
Bojo, you and yankfem? I like that club.
“JPP no slouch either….”
So happy for his dad.

And Odds! And you!
Tricia….Total combined points scored….I’m wagering that it’ll be less than 54…I also have the Gints plus 3.5 points, which was the opening line…..
Trish, Under means that the combined total score of the teams adds up to < 54.
Boley threw Hernandez like a ragdoll.
Pat M and YF – thanks.
You can see that stuff definitely is not my strength.
Pat M, does that mean the Gints have to win by 3.5 or more for you to win? Um, how do they score 3.5?

It was great seeing them lost like that.
See I’m not a bad guy Joba to the rotation
. I like the Pats though but you can blame Michael Kay for that. I was never liked them because of the whole Spygate fiasco until one day in 2009 when Kay was promoting this article in the ESPN. He made it seem like a must read so I checked it out and was amazed by how they ran their organization. The journey of Belichick was also interesting. From that day forward I decided as long as they aren’t facing my team then I can root for them. So blame Kay he is the cause of what I am today
Serious question. How did Chris Collingsworth get the gig? He’s horrible!
Like to see them put borgeois boy/lingerie hubby on his ass a couple times.

I hope they knock Brady’s block off after he insulted the entire city of Buffalo this week.
Where’s our holding call?

What did he say?
That Romero kid has gotten some high praise. We seem to have some real power projectable types who can also hit in the lower levels.
Just keep remembering. Eli does his best work in the 4th quarter.

What’d glamboy say about Buffalo?
Yep, both are SS’s with some pop.
I’m sick of the blowhard Kraft too.
And Woodhead reminds me of the beantown elf. I want them to knock him to China too.
trish, true.
Made a comment about how the hotels there were substandard and the city was ugly. He said it in reference to his Dad following him throughout his career. “my dad even came to Buffalo to watch me early in his career. The hotels there aren’t the greatest you know”.
Professional athletes should be above that type of commentary. Sorry upstate NY does not meet his supermodel standards.
Romero will actually probably be at GCL… is he doesn’t repeat DSL2… but yeah, power but raw.

Straw, his wife’s a glorified stripper. He shouldn’t be snubbing his nose at anything.

Luckily when I lived up there both New England and the Saux both sucked.
*Sawx
Yankeefem-
Mee too. 1991-1994 were banner years for anti Boston fans.
Tricia…..I get the Giants plus 3 1/2 points added to their final scored points and to win it has to surpass the Patriots total points…….Right now it’s The Patriots 10 and the Giants 12 1/2 so I’m winning right now…….I do expect things to pick up in the second half…The G-Men need to eat the clock and keep Tom Brady on the sidelines if they’re going to win……
thumbing his nose…
Half time show – o-kay. Certainly better than Mick Jagger!
I’d rather see someone like Lady Antebellum but I don’t think they put on the kind of half time show that the crowd is looking for.
Actually this number is pretty cool.
Madonna looking like Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard
Like a prayer was pretty cool. The set she used was unbelievable. I just hate lip syncing and a lot of that dancing (tumbling ? ) was kind of dumb, but whatever.
The Giants need to pressure Brady this half. Do that and don’t turnover the ball and they will win.
Come on. We need an interception or a sack! WTH
This is not going well.
Eesh!
Giants’ totally sucked because they did not figure anything out against Brady during half time. Game over.
I am only imagining the karma gods are going to bring the big guns in at a more appropriate time, though I don’t know why this couldn’t have been a total rout by the Gints – except it hurts more when the Pats think they actually have a chance.
That better be it karma gods!!!!
Bradshaw good on quick openers.
Guess they want to make sure they get the FG. I wanted them to go downfield there.
There have been no turnovers in this game yet. Turnovers usually decide Super Bowls.
Despite tonight’s game baseball is still a better game
Good point. TO would be nice, here.
ericns1,
Agree, it’s no contest. Baseball has no rival.
They ever going to call holding on these guys?
KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL!
THAT’S what I’m talking about!
Good field position. Let’s go!
Ugh
Gilbride’s red zone play calling has been atrocious. Run. Run. Sitting duck.
Okay, inching closer. Stop the Pats and let’s keep it going.
Welp, that safety, which was a gutsy call by the ref, may come in very handy when all’s said and done, here.
“Gilbride’s red zone play calling has been atrocious. Run. Run. Sitting duck.”
Thinking the same thing!
Pass rush seems to be Pat’s strength in this game.
It’s like Schottenheimer’s running their offense inside the 30.
They have been sending a guy who keeps getting in.
Hoping for a turnover.
This isn’t a very exciting game.
THere’s your TO. TOo bad the field position blows.
THANK YOU JESUS!!!!!
FROM YOUR MOUTH TO GOD’S EARS, QIANTOM!!!!
Cripes, now Eli has to make sure they get upfield before they give up the darn ball!
I agree. This is the most boring close Super Bowl game I have ever seen. A decided lack of big plays.
Man, thank God for Nicks! And by the way, why wouldn’t you rush for 2 yards?
MARIO!!!!
My MANningham!
Damn.
Geeze
That rendered the Timeout a waste.
Giants making critical mistakes at critical moments. Cannot win this way.
It doesn’t help that they’re without their TE!
Almost like Brady knew that was coming.
This is disgusting. If the Giants can’t stop a 3rd down, then they don’t deserve to win!
Oh my God. The Giants are dropping like flies!
The equipment manager clearly picked the wrong cleats for the Giants tonight.
Where’s the great Giant D?
This is so pathetically boring that if the score ends up staying the way it is, it won’t even feel like any great SB win. This has the feel of a BFD game.
But I’d really like the boring game to end up with the Gints on top, thank you.
LET’S GO!
Can’t. Stop. Them. On. Third. Down.
Heck of a stop there on 3rd – now let’s go Eli and O and put this one away. . . .
Rubber meets road time folks.
Eli time.
Eli is gonna get his chance here…
trisha, LT and Jessie Armstead don’t play there, anymore. They have a good pash rush, they don’t have a great D.
Is it enough time?
WOWOWOWOWOW!
MARIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow…what a throw and catch
Definite catch
Back foot never went down
Looks good
Catch is good.
Nope, both feet in, on that second replay. Too close to overturn
Don’t think they can overturn that.
Damn Eli is clutch!
Belichik had a front row seat for that.
I told ya that Mario was going to be the man!!!!
OMG. I am getting a little psyched…
NE start taking timeouts soon.
Kids, do you think I was right about the way the karma gods were playing this one?????????
HO-LY!!!
L. Tynes – been there done that ad infinitum!
J Al – NE time outs might not do much at this point. Here’s hoping!
Hey, does NE just let them score?
Woo hoo!
Just…don’t…drop…that…football.
Erik Boland @eboland11
Boy, I can’t wait until the world premiere of “The Voice” after this game.
#thingsnooneisthinking
Doesn’t help you to be a point behind with 10 seconds left. Behind by five with 1:50 and two TOs left, gives you a better chance.
Mario MVP???
Well, they let him in there.
Shoulda let him score on play before, then they woulda had the extra TO.
Smart play there by Belechick……they just let them score.
It’s on the vaunted D now.
Credit? They should have done it on last play. They’d have another TO. Really, these guys are so up Belicheck’s ass…
All right, let’s see that Big Blue D here.
Let’s go D!
Beli-cheat! Beli-cheat!
36 seconds.
Tuck!!!!!!
trisha, LOL.
Suck. Got out of bounds, too.
It’s Gonna take a Hail Mary pass to win this game
If the Giants win and Manningham is MVP I will cry myself to sleep with huge happy tears!
Woo hoo hoooooo!!!!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow that was close you can start crying now Trisha
Suck it, belicheat.
Eff u Boston!!!!
Congratulations to the Super Bowl Champion New York Giants and all their fans.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

She was phenomenal in that. I was thinking we were going to have to send her in to do her thing on Brady!

Pat M won his bet!
Have to feel good for Archie Manning, who played a stellar career never making the playoffs, and now has watched both his sons play hall of fame caliber ball and one of them win multiple championships.
Eli just surpassed his older brother, in my opinion.
Trish, me too. It’s the 2009 World Series song. Jay-Z and Alicia sang it live at NYS before Game 2. My go-to song; I always blare it on the way to the Stadium.

Now the Yanks need to win it all!!
My happiest moment, after these festivities, will be watching the Pats press conferences.
“Eh…not for me….I am.glad the Giants won though”

If the Giants lost they would have talked about it for 2 days and then go straight into baseball talk. Does anyone remember how long the media talked about the 07 team. Mike and Chris spent weeks just trying to come up with a name for it. I want Yankee talk. Breaking down the trade, is A-rod going to be healthy, what to expect from Hughes, etc.
GB –
Can you imagine how depressed he has to be right now???? Watch out, Dunkin Donuts! Their stock is going to go sky high!
Quite the game. I really wasn’t feeling comfortable with the way they were playing, and the injuries they were getting. That last play was close.
Heh. Fun game, even though they added a few extra gray hairs for me tonight.
Sweet car Eli.
Pete Abe being rude?? Get outta here.
Pretty funny to think about how he must be fuming right about now.
GB go post that video again to his site.
Can you imagine the depression at ESPN? They actually have to show the post game press conferences. Maybe they can pretend there’s a power outage, just like the one their team just had!
Rodney Harrington, stuff it you big mouth. Backing up on what he said all night – the Pats are going to win! Jerk.
Must admit, when Bradshaw didn’t get down it was white knuckle time.
There were alot of big plays, but the Brady mistake on the INT really helped
Ha ha ha, marble mouth Kraft.

“Must admit, when Bradshaw didn’t get down it was white knuckle time.”
I was not comfortable until that ball hit the turf. Which makes the win even sweeter!!!!!

15 more days until pitchers and catchers report to Tampa for 1st full workouts. Physicals take place the day before.
The thing I like best about the day after the Superbowl is that the discussions and focus can now shift to baseball (yes, hockey and basketball are still there, but baseball will soon take center stage as we move towards spring training).
Let’s hope that NY can pull off another championship or two this year to complement the good work by the Giants (okay, the Knicks are not going to do it, but I will settle for a Yankees championship)…
Congrats to Big Blue!
Congrats to the GEEEEEEE-MEN !!!! .. . Your next up Yanks !
i didn’t watch a single play of the super bowl but found myself rooting for them for old times sake.
congrats to them. quite an achievement
oh yeah, beating the patriots is kind of nice too
so much for compartmentalization and keeping the yankees separate from his personal life.

• Louise said that Cashman was “very sweet, gentle, understanding” throughout most of their relationship, but when he did get angry in front of her, most of it stemmed from frustrations about the Yankees. “He’d talk a lot of s— about Joe Girardi,” she said. In addition, Louise said that Cashman had become more touchy after his father was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer.
• Other Yankee frustrations: “He was so p—- off when Mariano went to the press about his throat thing and didn’t run it through Yankee PR first.”
• A more recent job gripe Louise heard from Cashman: “He was angry about some Puerto Rican or Dominican player. I forget his name. He was just traded to the Mariners. But Brian was frustrated because there was apparently some trouble with the player’s visa.” Top catching prospect Jesus Montero, a Venezuelan, was traded to the Mariners on Jan. 13. It took 10 days for the deal to go through, due to a visa issue.
Good morning.
Congratulations to the World Champion New York Giants.
Terrific game, fantastic halftime show and some very clever advertisements.
Attached the YouTube commercials from last night for enjoyment. Any favorites?

Great team victory by the Giants.
I liked the duet on the Star Spangled banner. Extremely well done.
Nothing will ever top the Budweiser frogs.

Griping about work when you get home is not the an indication that you can’t do your job.
And being upset that there was visa trouble after the deal was done is not an indication that Montero was traded because he was upset with him.
However, I’m not an idiot, and if deadspin is to be believed the idea that he was confiding in someone who turned out to be untrustworthy is not a good thing, for sure. (I’m sure when he was happily married to his wife, she was the one who heard all this stuff.)
Anyway Randy l, it seems there are at least two people who despise Cashman as much as or more than you (Louise & Deadspin guy).
Cashman should have just logged onto lohud to complain about Girardi.
Congrats to the Giants…..Sabermetricians would have a tough time disproving his clutchness.
I liked the Seinfeld and ferris bueller commercials ….but the rest were pretty mediocre I thought.
Eli’s clutchness I mean
Yeah thats some serious de-compartmentalism there.
And this all comes from the serial stalking extortionist that’s currently on Rikers.
Congrats to the Giants.
Brady definitely didn’t play great but I read an article in the Globe that sounded like something we’d read in here during a game thread.
That’s the problem with the Boston print media. Many are fans of the teams they’re covering.
i like the Clint Eastwood Chrysler commerical .. and I’m with Blake .. . love the Ferris Bueller commericals. BUELLER ??? haha
blake -
He certainly would have had lots of company here! LOL

Congratulations to the Giants!
I have to admit, I was seriously concerned about the outcome. Shame on me.
“i like the Clint Eastwood Chrysler commerical .”
I almost wanted to go buy a Chrysler..Clint is the man.
Ditto on the Ferris Bueller ad.

Most losses in a SB to the same team – Pats, twice to the NY Giants
Priceless.
Will the Yankees have a lefty bat at DH to compliment Jones batting against lefty pitchers?
Fukudome
Matsui
Ibanez
Damon
or will they sign the righty bat that hit both lefties and righties last year equally well and batted over .300-Vladimir Guerrero?
I think it’ll be Damon in the end.
Gossip Break (Forgive me if this has been posted already)

Sorry, Guerrero hit .290, .291 vs righties, .288 vs lefties last year.
Blake-
Attached is Guerrero’s hit chart in Camden Yards-looks like he hits to all fields.

I agree that Damon might have overall better appeal as he can do everything well except play the field, but might Guerrero be a good fit also?
Damon’s hit chart in Tropicana last year. No homers hit to left field.

Again, sources say #Orioles are close to deal w #Rockies, but not official yet: Believed to be Guthrie for Lindstrom & Hammel
Personally, I’m Team Matsui.
Vlad’s low OBP last season is a turn-off. He doesn’t K much but he also doesn’t BB much.
Johnny’s OBP isn’t exactly screaming “sign me!” either.
With only 17 walks, Guerrero still had a better OB% than Ibanez.
Looks like it’ll be the first one to say “show me the 2M,” I’ll sign now.
