such a weird line-up
Facing the best lefty in baseball, and only one righty bat in the top six spots. No wonder we’re in last place. That and our 3 hitter right now has exactly one homer and slugs .396.
Calgon, take me away!!!

Obviously, the right-handers that Girardi has put in the lineup the last few weeks haven’t done jack – which is one of the reasons why their record against lefties is so poor.
I don’t see this as a bad move at all. I’ll take my chances with Matsui, Abreu, or Damon against Santana over a Duncan or Ensberg who haven’t hit a lick.
Matsui and Cano
Have great history against Johan.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
Andy
looks great. Relying on that fastball a lot.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
Make Santana work
He hasn’t pitched in awhile and he’s been throwing 100 pitches by the 6th inning quite often this season.
I thought that was the
reason they skipped Rasner. I mean its one thing to start him on an extra day of rest, but once you start to get a few days behind your schedule you worry.

One of my favorite quotes
Never save a pitcher for tomorrow, tomorrow it may rain.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
Only
one homer. Why is he hitting third?
ha
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
Well he told Girardi
he was wearing the thong again. So Joe knew he would hit another one.

Jeter's probably got many thongs
lying around his crib. Can’t imagine how many hotties spend the night at his place.
lol but this one is Jason's (shudder)

You told me!
but really, I don’t mind being wrong when the results are a positive for the Yanks.

Today is also a historic day in Cubs history
May 17, 1979 was the day of the 23-22 game against the Phillies. That’s just flat out insane.
A one run game
please tell me it was a walk-off.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
oh man I hope
it was 18 innings too lol

A homer by Mike Schmidt in the 10th inning was the difference
Schmidt was every bit the all-time Cubs killer that Manny is against the Yanks.
Man
Mike Schmidt was an all-time everybody killer.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
Holy crap....
Mike Schmidt had 78 career homers against the Cubs. And 207 RBIs.
I knew he smoked them, but damn, that’s impressive.
Did you ever play
with Baseball Reference’s Neutralized Stats?
Check out Schmidt if he had played in Colorado in 2000. Yahoza.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
It's a neat way to
get a feel for how impressive a performance is across eras.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
Go into
the career stats. On the above the batting line there’s red writing that says “Neutralize Stats”. When you click that, you should see options for which year want to adjust to, an average 750 season, the Dodgers ‘68 (least) or ‘00 Rockies (most).
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
Just to followup
in a 14 year stretch from 1974- 1987, Schmidt had one year when he was not at least 40% more productive than the average hitter. That year he was only 22% more productive (OPS+).
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
Yeah he was pretty good
at the game of baseball.

Oh yeah
Either the first or second best defensive 3B in history.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
If he's second who's first?

I bet
Jeter gets back to the bench and says to Andy, “Can we play too?”
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
Daddy's busy go play
with Johan

Arod
hit a homer off of Price in his minor league game.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
On the radio
They say the ump missed it.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
Ok
Strike out and a double play would make me happy…
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
guess that great history
Cano and Matsui have against Johan has been revised.

Joba was really not
helped out by the defense there. If Melky made that catch it would have been a webgem, but he didn’t and it turned into a triple. And then the missed foul ball by the attorney general…
