Yuniesky Betancourt, SS
Kenji Johjima, C

New York Yankees

Derek Jeter, SS
Bobby Abreu, RF
Alex Rodriguez, 3B
Jason Giambi, DH
Hideki Matsui, LF
Jorge Posada, C
Robinson Cano, 2B
Doug Mientkiewicz, 1B

Chien-Ming Wang, RHP

I guess Johnny Damon is hobbling again after his last at-bat because he is out of the lineup again today.

I love Damon far more than I expected when he first signed with the Yanks, but I wish he would just go on the DL once and for all and get healthy. It makes no sense to have him playing every other day and he's certainly not going to get into any kind of groove at the dish if he's not healthy.

Knocking around Jeff Weaver (0-4, 18.26) shouldn't be a tall order for the offense today, but I guess stranger things have happened.

Hope so

Crappy pitchers give them trouble with disturbing frequency. Usually it's more of a problem with rookies they haven't seen, so hopefully they'll beat on Weaver.

and hopefully

they can get something from wang today, like 7+ innings.

a 8 inning near perfect game would be fine too no ?:P

The problem is not that I am blacked out. The problem is that the Fox crew is the only one worse than the Yanks' crew.

Seattle Guys...

That's the only baseball on the radio in Alaska Mon-Fri. We have a station on Sat/Sun that carries the Yankees. Those Seattle guys are homers...Worse than the Yankees guys.

by AKJoe on May 5, 2007 4:01 PM EDT up reply actions

A broadcast crew from Hell...

Hawk Harrelson AND Suzyn Waldman. Yuck.

Although he can be totally lame, I can tolerate Sterling because he makes me laugh with his homerun calls.

i almost didnt see that double-play coming from abreu.

Anybody worried about...

... how far the Mariner hitters are smacking these balls? I think that last flyout makes 3 in the deep outfield.

by nyg2008 on May 5, 2007 4:15 PM EDT reply actions

Can't be

The first two hitters in the first grounded out, and two hitters in the second struck out.

So two deepish fly balls.

He knocked down

and made the play on a liner that wasn't a half step to his right.
It didn't seem that impressive to me. A good play, but makable by your average 3B.

I guess

He might have made it if he didn't hesitate right off the bag.

by nyy85 on May 5, 2007 4:45 PM EDT up reply actions

that was dumb

especially with a-rod coming up.

by Clutch like Leyritz on May 5, 2007 4:44 PM EDT up reply actions

No it wasn't...

.... No one was covering 3rd base and Melky beat the ball anyways, he just slid over the bag.

by nyg2008 on May 5, 2007 4:45 PM EDT up reply actions

I don't think so.

He was there until Bloomquist dove on him and pushed him off the base.

by AKJoe on May 5, 2007 4:46 PM EDT up reply actions

exactly right, it was heads up baserunning

I am just remembering when he had a footrace with Jason Veratek last year because of funky defence due to the Giambi shift...

He took third because noone was covering it, Veretek tried to cover third because he figured out noone was covering, then all Melky had to do was outrun an aging catcher.

I thought was hoping Igawa was going to turn it around and pitch well again last night, I mean Melky made a few catches in tight games and everyone was so high on him last year. If only we all had as good PR.

Melkyman

is very aggressive, but he's been falling down and getting picked off everywhere...I hope Bowa can get him right on the basepaths...

by John Amato on May 5, 2007 4:46 PM EDT reply actions

And STerling covers for him

Really, I can't take the propaganda of Yankeeland...Call it like it is...We're not idiots. You don't run on Ichi's arm....Did anybody see it?

by John Amato on May 5, 2007 4:48 PM EDT reply actions

Yeah

It was a medium bad play, because Melky slowed down rounding second, but no one was covering third so it was a race between Melky and the cutoff man. If Melky could have hung onto the bag it would have been a great play.

Mystique, don't fail me now!

by jscape2000 on May 5, 2007 4:49 PM EDT up reply actions

Ummm...

Melky made the right decision. No one was covering the base. He beat Bloomquist to 3rd. Bloomquist pushed his leg off the base and Melky's momentum helped him out.

by nyg2008 on May 5, 2007 4:50 PM EDT up reply actions

As was said

No one covered third. He made a bad slide

He's up with the big club, and hit a grand slam today.

Waldman: "A grand slam by...Hunter Pence? I never heard that name."
Sterling: "Mmm, neither have I."

Are the Astros in the Grapefruit league? It'd be great to find a Yankee's spring training box score with Pence's name on it.

Agreed,

I'm cool with Joe Buck, too.

by skwire on May 5, 2007 5:41 PM EDT up reply actions

Buck's problem

is he tries to play to the casual fan, who couldn't care less about most games anyways. I think he could be better, but he'd have to decide to be.

Guess he has no desire to improve on that last stat.

by jscape2000 on May 5, 2007 6:11 PM EDT up reply actions

Nothing wrong with that move....

Giambi has missed at least part of two games during the past week because of leg cramps.

Torre wants to keep him from running the bases and playing the field for that reason -- Giambi has a hard time keeping his legs healthy.

The score is also 6-0, Bot 7th.

I don't fault Torre one iota for it.

by anaconda on May 5, 2007 6:14 PM EDT up reply actions

A part of me understands

But unless we hear later that Giambi was worried about his legs, I wish Torre would have let things be.

In the last inning, I was flashing back to young Mr. Hughes' no no and thinking I hope Wang doesn't just get struck by lightening or something out there. Now I can relax. It's over and he has done well and is still standing on the mound. Good job dude.
