Zack Greinke, RHP (1-0, 1.29 ERA) Pete Abe reports that Morgan Ensberg will indeed be placed on the 15-day DL after he "injured his left ankle" on Monday. Okay, I guess the team doesn't want to risk losing Ensberg by designating him for assignment, so they are placing him on the DL instead (ala Sean Henn). The Yanks are hitting just .190
(11-for-58) with runners in scoring position on the young season and have dropped to a 4-4 record out of the gate for the fifth consecutive season. Zack Greinke has not fared well against the Yanks during his young career (1-2, 8.22 ERA in 7 games). Ian Kennedy had a no-decision in his lone career start (5.0 IP, 2 ER) against the Royals on Sept 7, 2007. Yankees'
career numbers vs. Greinke can be viewed here. Royals' career numbers vs. Kennedy can be
viewed here. [Note by anaconda, 04/09/08 8:01 PM EDT ] It appears that all the beat writers were wrong because YES just reported that Shelley Duncan was optioned to Triple-A Scranton to make room for Gonzalez instead of placing Morgan Ensberg on the 15-day DL. [Note by anaconda, 04/09/08 8:08 PM EDT ]
Okay, this really isn't good. Ian Kennedy is a late scratch for tonight's game so Brian Bruney will make an emergency start. No idea what happened to Kennedy.
Wow. The injury bug is biting hard.
[Note by anaconda, 04/09/08 8:22 PM EDT ]
Ken Singleton just said on the YES broadcast that Kennedy is indeed ready to go tonight but they are holding him out until after the rain passes.
Gutsy move by Girardi.

Pete A
is reporting that Ensberg will be DL'd. Apparently he hurt himself playing first on Monday when he came into the game after Jeter got hurt.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
I guess
it makes sense because it gets us the best players back sooner, but it really underscores Shelley and Ensberg's redundancy.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
Shelley was sent down
Bruney is starting in place of Kennedy.

I'm not a panicky Yankee fan
but this game seems almost doomed from the get-go.
I just hope Kennedy couldn't get loose or something and that's the extent of it.
The bullpen is taking a beating this series.
I know. right?
I have really been extolling the virtues of being patient in April but this just made me a little nuts. If Girardi is being cautious with Kennedy, I fully support that but this is a bit nervewracking.

This should be interesting in any event.

They've got the media director

Poor weather coming
Girardi didn't want a repeat of the Johnson fiasco. IPK is prepared to go after the rain.

The Giants
just had a similar controversy with Lincecum.

They are correct that this is evidence of Joe Girardi's mind. Nice stuff.

Nice stuff?
Ian Kennedy was very open after the game saying he wasn't comfortable coming out of the pen.
Well i guess you've never seen everything
This seems smart. I bet it becomes routine.

I'm not a big Bruney fan
but give the guy credit for what he's done.
I'm still not convinced that the old Bruney won't reappear this season, but I certainly like what I'm seeing.
I was not happy when he came up from ST
but I'm happy now. I'm willing to give him credit. I just hated him last year. But he was fat then. :)

Gameday
has Bruney 93-95. This is a guy who can hit 97,98. If he's finally learned to throw it a little slower with a little movement, he could have "figured it out"

that's a very different Alberto Gonzalez
I just hope our Gonzo does better than that one
lol
This shitty useless game will go a long way for building confidence in the bullpen. These guys could have come out here and shit the bed, with good reason too. But 3.2 inn shutout ball is awesome. Loved that K from Traber to Gathwright.
Bruney out, Traber in
I'm confused...who is the long reliever?
Its
not about whose the long reliever. This is to see if our pen can step up in an ugly situation and make a big positive out of a big negative
So the gameplan
is to throw 4 -5 pitchers out there tonight? Is this really a good idea?
They'll hold IPK
until the bad weather blows over. Then they'll put him out there. I wonder if the ump isn't being obstinate just to spite Joe G?
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
if someone gets hurt on either team
they'll be a big issue

That would be the biggest dick move ever
so I wouldn't put it past an umpire.

Uh oh fans
Crash just called the umpire a certain name that is a no-no at the ball park.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
If it keeps coming down like this
and they don't call it, I doubt we will see IPK tonight.
My guess is he will be the safety valve if Andy doesn't last long tomorrow.
"Just when they think they got all the answers, I change the questions."
-- Roddy Piper
I would bet he either pitches
tomorrow or gets his spot skipped. I don't think he comes in relief. Partly because I expect Andy to go 6

If he doesn't pitch tonight
they should push him back until tomorrow and Pettitte to Friday against the Red Sox.
I think the game plan is to cover for Ike
and that's a good idea

I just hope the next time Ian's getting squeezed on his pitches
like his first start, Joe gets out of the dug-out and raises some hell Billy Martin/Bobby Cox style.

I was at the stadium once
where they delayed it 4 times and then finally called the game. No team would do that.

I've been at games where the manager
had changed out of his uniform in the clubhouse only to have a umpire come in to tell him to get back on the field. It was shortly after that he returned to his office having been temp relieved of his duties.

How low
does HGHiambi's BA have to get before Joe realizes he's a detriment on the field and in the line-up? It was nice while it lasted Giambi. Now leave the BX.
Look at that field
I can't believe they sent them out there.

Really?
Im one of the very few who enjoy Kay. I listen to his show daily and his voice will keep you up in a sluggish rain soaked game. Ken Singleton lulls me to sleep and Cone's queit demeanor doesn't help. They might as well sing me to sleep.
I'm going to TRY
to forget you ever said that.

Dont make me change my name to KaysOnlyFanOnPinstripeAlley.
No no
I would rather have Kay and the rest of the Yes team than have to sit through McCarver and Morgan or Buck and whoever they pair him with.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
Well...
I was referring to the YES crew only.
I think Buck does a pretty good job, but McCarver sucks and so does Morgan. I think Jon Miller does a good job too.
Yeah
I have nothing bad to say about Miller, which is as close as I come to praise for any analyst. But the other three make me grind my teeth.

Maybe they were thinking

ever. You know Posada is having nightmare's.
When Posada sucks
he sucks. His pass balls come in bunches. I think he isolates day to day, but he gets all mental during a single game.

I hope they make a comeback
to the point that they're the fifth best team in the AL
I hope they make a comeback
and beat up the Indians, so that we have the safety net of the wild card.

With this
shitty weather, there should be errors and slips everywhere. Props to the guys out there playing a reletivley crisp game
I feel
like we face nothing but pitchers who throw strikes. Bannister was the exception last night but once he battled he settled down and threw strikes. We need an ugly pitcher for the bats to feast on like a weak Gazelle lol. WOoo Gonzalez 2b. Steal third.
Alright
let's make something of it! Damon has been ugly so far this season.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."

seriously...
he pitched very well on Monday, and now two steps back...unreliable.
Happens every time
One good outing is immediately followed by two or three shitty ones. I really don't understand this guy, because he does have stuff - that's why he's so damned frustrating to watch.
Wake up already with Farsnworth
He gave up 2 hits that inning and it was one stinking game. He's been an unreliabel reliever for most of his career. Why the hell do you think it's going to all of a sudden change at this stage of his career?
ugh

No matter what happens
Girardi has to leave Kennedy out there the rest of the game.

In Girardi's defense
they had no business letting the game continue. You rarely see an infield that saturated without a delay.
To outsmart the rain
and then not get in the umpire's face about the puddles in the infield is stupid.

he was talking about
Kennedy's mindset now that hes in the game and he said something to effect of: Y0u know, your are about to get ready to get out there and start pitching and then you get jerked off and have to sit back down...
That's just good stuff
I grew up listening to Harry Caray and he had moments like that all the time as you can imagine.
Cone: "Real tough spot here for Kennedy. Here he is warming up out in the outfield and gets jerked off and says no you'll have to wait because the weather says it's going to rain."
At least Kennedy got something out of this bad night.
Well...look on the bright side
At least the Yankees look good in their new snazzy road jackets.
This two-game stretch is as bad as I've seen this team look since last April/May.
thank god
The yankees did all that running so they wouldnt get off to that slow start like last year...
They'll be in good shape
as long as they play .500 ball in April.
I'm not worried about their start right now.
John Sterling
just said "All Japanese pitchers throw splitters, meaning most of them"

Great game
For me to poop on.
Nice baserunning by Melky (did he go to Bernie's baserunning camp?)
Nice botch in LF by Matsui. Why is out he out there in the pouring rain? Why is he out there ever at this point?
Fantastic job by Farnsworth. Girardi's move might have worked if not for that jerk off (to paraphrase David Cone).
Is a 65 degree sunny day to much to ask for? Worst. weather. ever. Thank god they go to a dome on this trip.
"Well, that kind of puts a damper on even a Yankees win."
-- Phil Rizzuto after hearing about the Pope's death
Also
Lots of folks questioned Torre about never bringing in Farnsworth with a.) men on base and b.) for multiple innings.
Girardi has tried both this year and he is 0 for 2.
Maybe the old man wasn't so crazy after all.
"Well, that kind of puts a damper on even a Yankees win."

Farnsworth
I made a similar point about Farnsworth the other day on the game thread:
Finally, we may want to file this under "Maybe Joe Torre did know what he was doing with Farnsworth?":
"Kyle Farnsworth had gone 79 appearances without inheriting a runner before Friday night, when he inherited two and immediately gave up a three-run homer."
