First off, congratulations to C-Rod and A-Rod for the birth of their yet-to-be-named baby girl last night. Hmmm, two girls? How is A-Rod going to afford those weddings?
As for tonight's game, as expected, A-Rod is out of the lineup and has been replaced by Morgan Ensberg. Pete Abe speculates that A-Rod could be back in the lineup as early as Thursday.
Jorge Posada gets the start behind the plate tonight for the first time since April 8th and you can bet your @ss that the ChiSox base runners will test his shoulder right away. I certainly would.
Jose Contreras is a lifetime 2-4, 3.96 ERA ERA in 6 starts against the Yanks, but has lost his last four starts against them (6.08 ERA, 1.35 WHIP).
Chien-Ming Wang is a lifetime 2-0, 2.57 ERA in 3 starts against the White Sox, including a complete game 5-1 victory on June 6th of last season.
Yanks' career numbers vs. Contreras can be viewed here. White Sox career numbers vs. Wang can be viewed here.

I get to listen to Hawk Harrelson for the next three days. Sigh.
As bad as Michael Kay is, he’s Mel Allen by comparison.
I'm only half paying attention
and I feel like I’ve already heard a lot of jibberish. If you let your hitters swing 3-0, you’ll get a lot more walks? The Red Sox won their division in 2004?
Man, almost anything you say with Wang's name in it
can be interpreted as raunchy.
That said, nice timely K. Now let’s get out of this inning.
Damn...
I’ve never seen that in my life. The bat must’ve had a crack in it and broke in half on the swing.
Legend has it
that the name came from Chicago once holding the world’s fair and there was so much overblown blather from politicians about it that it was called the “Windy City.”
But the name now does refer to the winds off Lake Michigan.
Boy
It was nice to see Robbie break through

I dont dislike Singleton
I just think O’neil is better. Probably because he hasnt been in the booth with Kay as long and doesnt seem to want to do play by play as much.
Over 100 pitches
We really need to get the offense going.
Get some pressure off the staff.

good match-up for Bobby
needs to come through

oooooooooooohhh bobby!!

that discussion
between O”neil and Cone during Jeters at bat was awesome…...................................as was Bobby’s shot!!!!
Oneil
was talking about how frustrating it is to get a borderline call 1-0 to make it 1-1 instead of 2-0 and how it affects the at bat and cone sort of gave the counter point. I Like Oneil because he still shows his frustration even in the booth. It was a borderline pitch (probably a strike anyway) but as a hitter Oneil wants that called a ball and wants the count 2-0 and he talked about how much that changes an at bat.
As if on cue

Abreu
The ball must be really carrying out to LF because I didn’t think there was a chance that ball was going out.
I thought it was a routine fly ball off the bat.
you can put it on the board my friend

Best part about it
was the dead silence from the Sox announcers.
(Okay, the four runs were the best part about it, shutting those homers up was a close second)
Homer announcers don't bother me because every team has homer announcers
It’s just that these guys just flat out suck and have the most annoying schtick in MLB.

It goes on and on….
thank your lucky stars
for michael kay

The Radio side
Just got home. Had to listen to Ed Farmer and Steve Stone on the radio. I never really had to listen to them before. I’ve always liked Stoney but Ed Farmer..Wow! What a piss-baby. All he does is cry. “Yankees spend money, wah-wah-wah.” Do you know how much they pay this guy? Wah-wah-wah.” “That looked like a strike. Jeter will always get that call.” Ugh.
Re: Steve Stone
I didn’t know Stone did the ChiSox games. I loved Stone when he was announcing for the Cubs with Harry Caray.
One of the top color men in the business, IMO.
Started this year.
He really does his homework. Excellent analysis. Very weird hearing him do a Sox game though.
SBN question-
anybody else getting some weird views on the comments.. every now and then i have to scroll up and down to view a single comment- like it has it’s own scroll bar

I get that with Safari
sometimes, especially on MLB.com’s stat pages. Weird.

Michael kAY:
the yankees have revealed their ultimate plan; Joba Chaberlain is going to become a starter at some point…
Are we the only ones who have been paying attention since last year? How is this news to people?
Re: Joba
The media did the same thing in March when Joba was moved back to the pen after making a few starts in ST.
Everyone and their mother knew that was the plan back in November of last season but the media reported the move like it was breaking news or something.
Its incredible
I dont get it at all. Its like everyone, but those who’s decisions that matter, has this thing up for debate.
How pathetic is Ozzie Guillen?
Abreu is much worse against lefties but let’s Dotel pitch to him rather than Thornton?
Question
if he gets him swinging on a breaking ball that jorge cant handle, can he just step on home plate rather than throw down to first?
with 2 out he can

Not to be that guy
But here we go again.
The best word to use for Bruney is “unreliable”. I don’t think anyone says “whew” when he enters a game.
Farnsworth stinks most of the time, not that he did anything wrong tonight besides occupy a roster spot.
How does Girardi not know this? Why does he keep trusting these guys? If you believe Hank and Cash he is gonna have one less safety valve later this summer. He really should be using this time to audition new people to get late inning big outs. The Yanks are gonna need another “whew” guy.
I’d like to see him give Ohlendorf a shot in these spots.

Chickens and eggs....
we can go around and around on this one.
You're missing the point.
There are going to be games like this when Joba leaves the bullpen.
Bruney has pretty much proven he cannot be trusted. Ditto Farnsworth.
While he does have the big safety valve in Joba, Girardi should be trying out other people for the role.
Bruney and Farns have more than proven they cannot handle the job on anything close to a consistent basis. Can we all agree on this?
"Well, that kind of puts a damper on even a Yankees win."
-- Phil Rizzuto after hearing about the Pope's death
Total agreement
but I really want to trust Bruney….He’s thinner, better attitude…just gotta be consistent.
Girardi
seems to have found that guy in Ohlendorf. If/when he gets tired out, Bruney and Farnsworth will have to be those guys. Since they wont be relied on day in and day out, hopefully they can pull it together. Is this wishful thinking? maybe, but I remember booing the hell out of Weathers and Lloyd in the beginning of ‘96, too.
not his most dominant...
..but got the job done.

Def...
you come in with the bases loaded and only let one run in you have done your job.
Crowds are won and lost and won again, but our hearts beat for the diehards.

That is the offense
I asked for before.

Looks like
Damon wasn’t too happy with Yankee Come Lately’s post about moving him down the batting order.
Girardi is a moron
Why let Joba pitch the 8th with a 5 run lead and now you can’t use him tomorrow night?
Because
he has retards like Farnsworth who serve up dingers and walk people on 3-2 sliders with a four run lead.
Now Mo is warming up. This guy is completely useless.
"Well, that kind of puts a damper on even a Yankees win."
-- Phil Rizzuto after hearing about the Pope's death
Don't talk so badly about Farnsy
You’re going to hurt Ronster’s feelings after sticking his neck out that he would be fine this season
Dude
April. Remember last April when we were all talking about whether we’d get a draft pick if we declined his option?
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
Managers have to say that
Only an idiot manager would rip his own player to the media before he’s managed a single game for said team.
He didn't have to rip him and still not say what he said
He could’ve said that when I caught him in Chicago I really liked his stuff. I just think he needs to build his confidence up a bit and he’ll be all right instead of confidently proclaiming that this guy who has sucked for 2 years here in New York would have a good season.
